About McMenamins Mission Theatre

McMenamins Mission Theatre is a theater and music hall located at 1624 Northwest Glisan Street in Portland, Oregon. The building was constructed in 1912 as a Swedish Evangelical Mission Covenant Church, later served as a longshoremen’s union hall, and reopened under McMenamins as a theater and pub in 1987. Owned and operated by McMenamins, the venue’s capacity varies by configuration, ranging from approximately 450 to 750 guests depending on whether the event is seated, standing, or arranged for a mixed layout.

The Mission is one of McMenamins’ signature Portland venues, known for combining a working pub with a theater-style event space. Its calendar includes live concerts across genres, comedy, second-run and repertory film screenings, special event screenings, interactive formats, private events, and community gatherings. Recent and upcoming performers have included Emily Catalano, The Hails, and Allan Rayman, reflecting the venue’s ongoing role in Portland’s regional and touring music scene.

Inside, the venue features a main floor and an overlooking balcony, period architectural character, local artwork, and full food and beverage service during many films and shows.

Transit: The Portland Streetcar NS Line serves nearby stops along NW Northrup and NW Lovejoy, and several TriMet bus lines run through the district. Transit is a practical option from downtown Portland, especially for guests who want to avoid searching for street parking near the venue.

Driving and Parking: Parking is primarily on surrounding streets in the residential and commercial Nob Hill area. Street parking can be limited and competitive during popular events, and some metered and permit zones apply. There is no large dedicated on-site lot, so arriving early is the best approach if you plan to drive.

How Much Do Tickets to McMenamins Mission Theatre Cost?

McMenamins Mission Theatre ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the artist or act, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from film screenings to higher-demand touring concerts and comedy shows.

Film screenings are typically the lowest-priced events on the calendar, with tickets often around $5–$10. These events can include second-run films, repertory screenings, special screenings, and interactive formats.

General-admission concerts and comedy shows are commonly priced around $15–$40, with higher-demand touring acts running more. Because the room is intimate, popular shows can sell out, and pricing is often driven by performer popularity, event type, demand, and whether the show is general admission or reserved.

Popular concerts and comedy shows in this intimate space can sell out. Buying earlier helps secure entry and better pricing before inventory tightens for the event you want to attend.

McMenamins Mission Theatre Seating Guide

McMenamins Mission Theatre uses an intimate two-level layout, with the main floor and an overlooking balcony shaping the experience differently depending on the event. Films are often arranged in a seated theater-style format, while many concerts use a general-admission floor and balcony setup.

Best Seats at McMenamins Mission Theatre

• Best value: General-admission floor standing areas are typically the most affordable entry point for concerts, especially for guests who want to be close to the room’s energy without targeting a specific reserved seat.
• Closest to the action: The front of the main floor places you nearest the stage or screen, making it the strongest choice for fans who want maximum proximity.
• Best overall experience: The balcony offers elevated sightlines over the stage or screen and is a favored spot for guests who prefer a more relaxed seated experience.
• General admission: Many concerts are general admission, with open floor and balcony areas. Arriving early improves your chance of getting the floor or balcony position you prefer.

Getting Ready for Your McMenamins Mission Theatre Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical preparations make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at an intimate historic venue in Northwest Portland where general-admission positioning and nearby street parking can shape the night.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Give yourself extra time for entry and security, especially on high-demand nights. Early arrival also helps with nearby street parking and improves your chance of securing preferred floor or balcony positions for general-admission shows.
• Wear the right footwear. The historic multi-level building includes stairs to the balcony, so supportive shoes are helpful if you plan to move between levels or stand for a general-admission concert.
• Dress for the trip in. The event is indoors, but Portland weather can affect the walk from transit, rideshare, or street parking, so plan your outerwear accordingly.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Street parking in Nob Hill can fill quickly during popular events, and the surrounding NW 21st and NW 23rd Avenue corridors can be busy after shows.
• Know your event details. Some events are 21+, while others are all-ages with restrictions, so reviewing the age policy and ticket format before arrival helps prevent delays at the door.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
