I find it so unbelievable this venue allows events here to blast their music until 10:30pm-11:30pm…read more I live two blocks away and with our windows closed and a movie on, we can STILL hear Brittney spears and the cha cha mf slide every single weekend until all hours of the night. (It's 10:30pm on Sunday and it's blasting through our apt right now, plus all the peoples yelling/partying). There needs to be a noise curfew, or some sort of regulation for the people who rent this space out. It's not fair to the rest of the community and surrounding neighborhoods.

We got married at Castaway in September of 2023 and we LOVED having our wedding here. It was…read moreactually the only venue we toured because we thought it was perfect the moment we saw it. The space is minimal and industrial which is what we liked. The plants provided by the venue bring the space to life so well. Honestly, you need minimal decorations for it to be wedding ready. Having the outdoor space for cocktail hour, food trucks, beer pong, etc. was incredible. We had about 175 guests, so we really enjoyed the flow and space for our guests to get fresh air if needed. The Castaway team was helpful, responsive, and so great to work with! Highly recommend for weddings, events, etc. Thank you Castaway team!

Planning a wedding is stressful. Planning a wedding during a pandemic is almost impossible…read more When our 2020 wedding had to be postponed a year due to Covid-19, we were left with ALL of the feelings. We very easily could have been defeated by the situation, but the staff at Opal 28 always made us feel supported and positive that our event would be amazing! Even though people were working remotely and, I'm sure, dealing with their own stresses, there was never a lapse in time for communication and answers to any and all of my questions that came up over that year. Often times, my questions were met with so many thoughtful options and possibilities that it was clear the Opal 28 staff was a trusted team with a ton of experience! On the big day, the staff took all of the decorating and arranging into their own capable hands and off of mine and the venue looked even better than we imagined! I love the flow of the space, giving guests different areas to visit in both indoors and out. The food was impeccable and I should mention that in the time between booking the venue and having our wedding, we had gone totally vegan and wanted a plant-based menu. The chef came up with an entire list of possibilities and everyone was blown away that it was a totally vegan menu. Having the available apartments upstairs was also a huge help as we were able to add one for the night to use as a staging and changing area and place to store extra needed items. I can never thank the staff of Opal 28 enough for their care and professionalism and ability to keep everything positive and calm in the face of so many unknowns. I highly recommend this venue for any and all festivities and look forward to visiting again!

Today, they are very selective on the use of their space for events. But if you are in the creative world, you might see if they are available. The main space has a concrete floor, is sparsely heated and the restrooms may not be handicapped accessible. But it is a cool space operated by creatives.

We attended one of their free tours of the home they give on certain days each month (check their…read morewebsite for details). It lasted about an hour and was very informative & interesting. The tour guide was a lot of fun and shared many fascinating details about the home and General Marshall, and she was happy to answer questions. There are a number of displays in each room with additional photos & memorabilia from the era, the home, and General Marshall. They also host a high tea around Christmas & also in the Spring each year, so that's definitely sometime we want to attend (check their website events calendar for dates & details).

This is the perfect venue for hosting a small party. The room is tastefully decorated. We hosted…read moreour daughter's baby shower there and loved it. Everyone I dealt with answered my questions and promptly communicated with me throughout the process. We were able to visit the venue twice to determine what we needed. They are flexible as far as who we hired to do the catering and bar service. They have a freight elevator and a wagon to help transport items. I appreciated having the option of clean up services for an additional fee. I also used their dishes and they are beautiful. The cost for this venue is extremely affordable for such a classy place. My daughter walked in and said it felt like she was in a dream! Thank you again for providing such a beautiful venue.

One caution fir visitors. Our car in the Pittock parking lot was broken into. Nothing to take but expensive to repair the window. There are plenty of warning signs about leaving no valuables.

Items that are there are some of the original items that were donated to the mansion they have a Blue P next to the item. Other items there are antiques that have been placed to fit the theme. Lots of photos of the family and context to the photos! This was great. Outside was clean and there were ton of labels for all the plants. Flowers and plants full bloom! We did the WildWood Trail to the Witches Castle! It's a nice hike. Wear appropriate shoes and clothes! 2.3-5 miles round trip. It's a big enough path for multiple people but some areas narrow. The climb down is good but man back up lol you will feel the burn. They have restrooms onsite indoor and then they have a bathroom in the mansion basement. Toilets flush loud don't be alarmed. At the bottom of the trail when you cross the street, there was a porta potty. Map as well. Parking is expensive: weekend Saturday it was roughly $24 for all day! There are benches and picnic tables towards the view! Staff are very nice! Gift shop as well with snacks, plants, jewelry, postcards, and all sorts of items.

The IG videos make the food look delish but sadly the quality is not there. Bar service was super…read morefriendly and attentive. ordered the burger, calamari and vietnamese wings. Drink was a gin n tonic cocktail mix off the menu (can't recall the name) burger was basic, just meat, cheese and veggies, the meat was on the dry side - maybe 2 / 5 stars . came with fries, the fries were ok. calamari was great, light and crunchy, not a lot of salt - 3/5 stars Vietnamese wings - these were so disappointing, they came out hot and sweaty, there was a pungent gamey smell in each bite, the bone smelled foul also, either the brine wasn't great or they didn't clean the meat. the batter wasn't crunchy, just really soggy. not a winner like the sticky crunch wings at pok pok or like any other vietnamese restaurant that serves fried drumsticks and wings. not sure what was happening with the wings here but they were horrible - 1 / 5 stars, only ate 1 of 2 because of the funky smell from inside the chicken. had nothing to do with fish sauce either. overall, beautiful on instagram, is worth a visit for drinks but the food is lacking. in a foodie City like Portland that's just sad. I guess these are appropriate for happy hour menu items.
