The Embers Avenue, more popularly known as Embers,[1] is a show bar and dance club located in the Old Town Chinatown neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, in the United States. The club has been a fixture of Portland's LGBT community since the early 1970s.[2]

Embers hosts a variety of events, including comedy and drag shows, karaoke, and live music.[3] Frommer's described the club as having "lots of flashing lights and sweaty bodies until the early morning".[4][5] OutCity called Embers a "low-keyed, friendly, and affordable option catering to an eclectic, all-ages crowd".[2]
