There are quite a few intimate venues to see a show while in Portland including the Crystal Ballroom, the Doug Fir Lounge", the LaurelThirst Public House", and Kelly's Olympian among many others. I made it to one of these special venues, Wonder Ballroom, while in Portland. I saw the Wallflowers, which was an absolutely amazing show! A group from Brooklyn, The Picture opened up for the Wallflowers. They had a really great sound...and weren't too bad to look at either :) On their myspace page, you can listen to some of their songs, and their album, Bluebirds, can also be purchased on itunes. ("Devious" is a great tune.) Because the venue was so small, I was within 10 feet of the stage, and had an amazing time. Here are some images from the Wonder Ballroom site...
