For an old funeral home, the Towne Lounge is awfully full of life. It’s where Portland goes to see out-of-town bands before they blow up. The bar is the size of a large living room, and that’s exactly how it feels. Towne Lounge shows can be intimate or totally chaotic depending on the band and crowd, but the down-home feel (with just a touch of organized-crime moroseness) is never too far away. And they have beers in cans that you never knew came in cans. They’re totally obsessed with cans.
