About Branx
Branx was a staple of Portland’s rock and nightlife scene from its opening in November 2010 through its closure in July 2015. Located at 320 SE 2nd Avenue in Portland’s Central Eastside, Branx operated as a primarily standing-room venue with a stage, sharing a two-space complex with Rotture on the second floor. The space, known for its energetic shows and full bar, welcomed acts across rock and, at times, EDM offerings, drawing crowds from across the city. The complex later reimagined as Euphoria Nightclub at 315 SE 3rd Ave, continuing the area’s nightlife legacy. This guide provides an overview of Branx’s history, layout, and practical details to help fans and visitors plan a night in the district, including parking, transit, and nearby lodging and dining options.
Note: Branx is closed as a standalone venue and the space is now part of Euphoria Nightclub. For planning purposes, treat Branx events as part of the historical context of the venue complex, and explore current offerings at 315 SE 3rd Ave for future nights out in the area.
Strategically located in the Central Eastside of Portland, Branx’s footprint made it a go-to stop for rock fans and late-night revelers. While there was no published formal seating chart for Branx, the space was largely GA with a dedicated stage, and the adjoining Rotture upstairs offered additional capacity. Guests could expect straightforward ticketing and admission, with the energy of a tight-knit club scene.
