You have to give anyone that opens a room that supports local theater, art, and music in today's world an "A" for effort! Interesting space... Not an optimal setup for rock bands and I was performing at a show with two bands. It worked perfectly for the solo and duo acts that opened the show. Room design and treatments, a good cleaning, and better space planning would make the vibe much more inviting, comfortable, and "user-friendly". I don't know the owners or their goals but they certainly have a really cool space to work with. There is tons of potential at this much needed local venue. Definitely worth catching shows here! 👍🏼

You wanna be a musician? Wanna be a musician in Portland and have people like what you do? Then you gotta cut ya chops here! Phew. How they bring in the talent they do is why they're one of the best in town. This venue has become where I meet my family in the community. It brings together those who want only to help others shine. They bring together those who didn't know there was a place for them to always be at.

Perhaps the best hidden secret in Portland. Intimate venue with really impressive little shows. The venue transforms depending on the event: art show, rock show, burlesque shows, experimental theatre, art exhibits. Ive seen people hanging from the rafters, crowd surfing, artists escaping from a straight jacket set to dance music and been sitting quietly to enjoy something delicate.

I just saw Richard Buckner there. It was an acoustic show, but your could hear Buckner clearly. It's a very intimate stage, and you have a feeling you're attending some underground show in a Bohemian venue in an old warehouse. Because it kind of is. Good selection of local beer, and staff was really welcoming and friendly. Parking is on street, but fairly available. Seating ranges from vintage kitchen chairs to recycled restaurant chairs, and maybe even a couple plush chairs and a couple of tables.

There was live entertainment no cover charge,I expected it to be a little more then it was but over all was a good experience for the night :)

Such a fun venue! Great space for artists and performers. Everytime I see a show here it's creative, experimental, and the energy of the environment feels so good.

This is an amazing small venue that hosts the most eclectic of bands - every so often I will pick a random night, not knowing the band, and be always, pleasantly surprised. This place exudes coolness and, if you want an intro to musical genres you aren’t familiar with, this place is the place to jump off from. I’m not cool enough but, watching from the wings, I experience ‘musical radness’. I only had a card with me and they didn’t charge cover, only asked me to get something from the bar. ❤️

The first act was a performance spoken word with a great Theremin artist. The second group of jazz improvisational masters. Great night

I saw US Patriots there last week. Good show. Simple venue. Can get canned beers and see art/music. Cover fee a bit much but I'd totally come back and support this place.

The Aphohadion is a tiny live performance venue located in a profoundly unfashionable neighborhood in Bayside, Portland Maine. There is minimal signage identifying the place, I finally spotted a hip young lady having a smoke near an open door and slipped in. The place is maybe 30×40 feet or so, with room for a generous stage, 5 or 6 cocktail tables and a small bar. It would be easy to get a wheelchair in here. A comfy couch and a few more chairs are available. The bar is beer, wine, tea and coffee. No food is available. The large and I think, wheelchair accessible bathrooms are down a long hallway. The overall vibe is cool without being exclusionary. The minimal decor includes a changing art exhibit. Shows here tend toward drone/noise/improv/ experimental. I know they have also held film screenings and there is an upcoming VHS "swap meet". Street parking is plentiful in this utterly deserted industrial neighborhood.I plan on making this pad a regular destination. Enjoy it now before some yuppie developer demolishes the whole area to build condos to sell to rich people who can sit on their balconies and talk about how great Portland used to be! Yay!

Full disclosure - I've performed here. I love the small venue, how it allows for an intimate and humble audience interaction. The people who run it are great. It's the kind of place I drop in casually to see what's up, and usually stay till close.
