What to Do on Division/Clinton

A walkable stretch in Portland, Division street’s transformation from modest homes to bustling urban streetscape, offers boutique shopping, and Portland landmarks.

Books with Pictures -as they say- is a “kid-friendly, woman-owned, aggressively inclusive” comic book store on Division Street. The staff is full of recommendations and ready to help you find the right comic. For the collectors, make your way to Clinton Street’s Cloud 9 Comics for a wide selection of vintage and rare comics.

For a little magic, step into Secret Forest Books through an unmarked storefront to another time and space. This dark, bookstore feels a little like a personal library with cozy corners and curiosities within the stacks. Filled with metaphysical and occult manuals and spiritual guides, find all the things you may need for your altar.

Landmark Saloon, an authentic country bar hosting live music nearly every night, is a great place to wet your whistle on Division Street. With a second bar outside, that includes a fire pit, corn hole courts and a food cart, this is a perfect place to spend an evening.

First opened in 1915, the Clinton Street Theater is a gathering place and a champion of Portland artists and activists. Showing cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show every Saturday night since 1978, this classic theater will keep you in your seat.

Retro style doesn’t get more authentic than the vinyl stocked at Clinton Street Record and Stereo, where customers can dig through rare records and pick up high-quality audio gear — including vintage headphones.

Equal parts clay studio and curio-laden gift shop, Carter & Rose, founded by a ceramicist and a florist, sells ceramic air plant wall planters and made-in-Portland bags, jewelry and home goods.
