Located next door to the Aladdin Theater, The Lamp (formerly Paolas) is not just a destination for concertgoers. This intimate restaurant and lounge is serving up great food, in a friendly atmosphere. Local businesses and residents from the Brooklyn Neighborhood are all buzzing about this great addition to the community. The Lamp has great beers, both on tap and bottled, select wines, and a full bar featuring top shelf bourbons and whiskies. The patio is now open.

Tom Sessa, General Manager of the Aladdin Theater, describes the vibe of The Lamp:

"We have tried to transfer the same feeling that customers have when they come to the Aladdin, into the Lamp. Comfortable, friendly, and great customer service."

As for the food and drink, it is all excellent. Definitely not your standard bar food. Try the Smoked Salmon Fritters or the Blackened Catfish Po-Boy, two specialty menu items for The Lamp that are loved by all who try them. Or the chicken strips, which are house cut and breaded, not frozen.

The Lamp also has all of the Oregon Lottery games featuring Video Poker and Video Line games. And soon to open for the summer is our patio, located right in front of The Lamp. Come see us soon...for lunch, before a show, or on a casual night out...The Lamp is the new destination for food, fun and drinks!


"...the Brooklyn bar offers almost everything one could ask for: a nice selection of beers on tap, the best burgers in the neighborhood ($8 with blue cheese and bacon) and a laid-back, agreeable staff."
