Misfits Bar and Lounge (stylized as Misfits Bar + Lounge) was an LGBTQ-friendly bar in Portland, Oregon, United States. It operated on 82nd Avenue in northeast Portland's Madison South neighborhood and hosted various events such as burlesque and drag performances, open mics for comedians, and viewing parties for television shows. After purchasing the dive bar and music venue Eastside Bar & Grill in 2022, owners David Elderton and Sophie Garibbo transitioned the space into Misfits over a few months and announced the new name on New Year's Eve (December 31). The business received some backlash, with the owners experiencing homophobia and event performers and producers being cyberbullied. The owners of Misfits announced plans to close permanently in May 2025.
