A varsity player in the realm of Portland concert venues, the Wonder hosts metal acts, indie folk, Danish punk rock and everything in between. The 100-year-old building has been revived with Keith Haring-esque murals that sprawl across the entryway and main hall. Downstairs holds a second bar and a secluded smoking patio shrouded in bamboo, which transitions into outdoor seating for an outpost of Bunk Bar.
