About: Ante Up PDX

The Party

In the summer of 2009, Ante Up began as a monthly party in Portland's historic Chinatown District at the Someday Lounge. Three DJ's forever changed the landscape of the Portland party scene. Finding quick success, the original monthly party became a bi-monthly party within its first year. "Raw" - Ante Up's second party at Crown Room - exceeded everyones expectations, becoming one of the most successful monthly events in the city for multiple years. In 2010, Ante Up resurrected Tubesday at Tube, a weekly event with nearly a decade of history. The party moved to Black Book in late 2013 and was renamed Turnt Up Tuesdays (TUT). Since its inception, Ante Up has always been where the party's at.
