Gypsy Restaurant and Velvet Lounge
The Gypsy Restaurant and Velvet Lounge was a restaurant and nightclub established in 1947 and located along Northwest 21st Avenue in the Northwest District neighborhood of Portland, Oregon, in the United States. Popular with young adults, the restaurant was known for serving fishbowl alcoholic beverages, for its 1950s furnishings, and for hosting karaoke, trivia competitions and goldfish racing tournaments. The restaurant is said to have influenced local alcohol policies; noise complaints and signs of drunken behavior by patrons made the business a target for curfews and closure. Concept Entertainment owned the restaurant from 1992 until 2014, when it was closed unexpectedly.
==Description==
Located at 625 Northwest 21st Avenue in the Nob Hill area of Portland's Northwest District neighborhood, Gypsy was a "boisterous",〔 "disco-balled" dive bar, recognizable by its bouncers, karaoke, and "wobbling smokers". ''The Portland Mercury'' said the restaurant was a "kinda retro-y bar... popular with a young college-y, drinkin', party crowd". One Portland resident described the club as "the kind of place where you can go with your sophisticated friends and look at the Daddy-O decor. Or you can go on a date and snuggle in a corner where the lighting is low. And if you want to meet new people you can stroll through there and see people whose faces you've never seen before, which is a rare thing in Portland."〔
The interior featured 1950s furnishings and "pinball-panel" wall decorations.〔〔 In 1963, ''The Oregonian'' described the artwork on the interior walls, which included a large and colorful painting depicting a gypsy camp, and an "attractive" nude called ''Dian'' by Grace Harlow, a painter and former student of Louis Bunce. The venue also featured "mottled" iridescent red windows that were translucent, could seat 150 guests, and included a banquet area.〔
Gypsy was also known for serving fishbowl alcoholic beverages,〔 and in its final years, for hosting goldfish racing tournaments.〔 The restaurant served soup, sandwiches, and full entrees.〔 Karaoke was available beginning at 9 pm on Tuesday through Saturday evenings.〔
