The space at 610 NW Couch has had its fair share of shuffling identity, most recently being Lush. Time for another change-up! Check it:

Karl Wilgus, owner of Portland’s “The Original Eagle PDX”, is taking on a new venture. Wilgus recently acquired the space on SW 6th and Couch, formerly “LUSH”, with the intention of opening a new nightclub and lounge. The new venue, “Casey’s Nightclub & Lounge”, will cater to Portland’s Gay, Lesbian, and alternative community but inviting to all. Joining his team is Chad Stout as General Manager along with Munro Rost and Andrew Miller formerly of Scandals Restaurant & Lounge as Casey’s Events and Promotions managers. “Casey’s” will feature a comfortable lounge-type area complete with a full kitchen, pool table, and dart boards on the main floor. On the bottom level it will feature a nightclub atmosphere with a dance floor, live DJ’s, and a second large bar. While the downstairs will be non-smoking, the main floor will still offer the ability for its patrons to smoke while the wide open front doors slide open to expose the large outdoor patio seating area. The development and construction of this new nightclub is on schedule with a “sneak peak” planned for Saturday, April 21. The grand opening will be announced shortly after.

Sweet! Plenty of time to scout it out before Pride Weekend, then. I was never into Lush, and could never quite figure out who was hanging out there, so I’ll be curious to check the new scene. I always liked the Eagle back when i lived nearby and would occasionally made it my last stop on the way home, so hopefully this will be a good spot too.
