One of Portland's Few Black-Owned Music Venues is Facing Eviction

The Heights lounge and event space was founded in 2024 by local musician Jermaine Malone. Since then, it's operated out of a 3,800-square-foot space on SE Foster Road. The lounge features a rotating calendar of events from comedy nights, to dance parties, to "secret" punk shows. It also offers event space rentals and was expanding to include a studio space for music recording and mixing.
