I think the capacity is still up in the air. As for bartenders, I assume they'll have them as well. If you email me, I can give you their contact info.
I was all ready to predict the closure of this venue before it opened, but looking at the building on Google Maps makes me think it might have a good chance of making it.
The location has lots of parking, no (visible) neighborhood riff-raff & appears to be far enough from the neighbors where sound won't be a major issue.
Now if they can book the right artists to get the lazy westsiders to cross a bridge, I see this as being a great addition to the music scene.
I've lived in Sellwood for three years, and rarely venture west simply because there is so much to do in SE. I think The Woods will thrive here, and finally challenge the hipster assumption that there is nothing cool south of Powell. Can't wait!
How many people does it hold?
And do they have bartenders etc working the events?
(I suppose these are things I could ask the events booker, but WHY when I can ask it in the comments of a blog post?)
