What we’re about
Sunny skies are glorious, but as anyone who's been around will tell you, the real fun usually happens after dark.
Nightlife in the Couve is a group for those of us in and around the Portland/Vancouver area whose circadian rhythms follow the beat of a different drum. We warmly welcome night owls, insomniacs, DSPD sufferers, graveyard shift workers, party animals, wannabe vampires, and all those who find themselves up past society's bedtime with energy to burn. Even if you're an early bird who's just curious what the world looks like after 9 PM, you're invited to join in any of our events.
Evening activities don't appear on Meetup as frequently as those hosted during daytime hours, but there is excitement to be had after the sun goes down (yep, even way up here in sleepy Vantucky). I've spent years hunting for the fun hidden on the black side of dusk, and now I'm looking to bring some adventurous individuals along for the ride. So let's get out there, make some new friends, and create memories that will last us long after the light of dawn spills over the foothills to wake all the poor saps who missed the party.
NOTE: Members must be 21 or older to join this group.

NYE Celebration: Group Dinner
The Uptown Barrel Room, 2011 Main St, Vancouver, wa, USJoin us for dinner at the beloved Uptown Barrel Room and kick off the festivities to ring in the New Year! There should be a countdown, ball drop and toast at 9 pm (well, that is midnight on the East Coast) for those of you wanting to make it an early night.
However, for anyone interested in keeping the good times going until midnight, be sure to sign up for the second phase of the event NYE bar crawl taking place after dinner.17 attendees
NYE Celebration: Bar Crawl
Paul's Restaurant, 1800 Broadway St, Vancouver, WA, US2025. What a year, huh? Boy howdy. Wowzers! I tell you what. The good news is that it's almost over, meaning we'll soon be free to turn our collective gaze toward the brand new, uniquely awful Hell Circus that 2026 promises to be.
I invite you all to join me as I celebrate my fast-approaching liberation from sanity with the kind of debauchery that can only be justified on New Year's Eve. First things first, though: Check out this event and sign up for the pre-crawl NYE group dinner if you haven't already. If that event is full, don't sweat it. Even if you don't make it off the waitlist, you can still join us for the crawl.
We'll begin at Elbow Room, a cozy little dive bar in the back of Paul's Restaurant that's never as busy as it feels like it should be. After an hour or so, we'll take a short walk west to Shanahan's (209 W McLoughlin Blvd) to begin the countdown to midnight! After they kick us out, we'll finish the evening off at Tip Top Too (2100 Main St). Does anyone honestly want to go to that bar? No. Is anything else in uptown open until 2AM? Also no.
Here at Nightlife in the Couve, we know you have a choice in NYE events and we appreciate you not wanting to be bothered trying to get reliable transportation in and out of Portland. We look forward to helping facilitate your customary New Year's Day hangover. 🥂17 attendees
