Mark Bartends at SPACE ROOM 4800 SE Hawthorne 503.235.8303 Happy Hour: M-F 4-6pm, free hors d'oeuvres

Stepping into the Space Room feels like entering a discotheque on the top floor of a UFO. From the cool '50s light fixtures to the neon-painted murals, the Space Room is the place for a cozy night of getting drunk, alien-style. Long-time cocktail server, Mark is a gregarious and funny man who knows the history of the place backwards and forwards—and remains quite hopeful about humanity's chance of inhabiting other planets

If you could serve drinks on any planet, which one and why? Saturn, 'cause I like the rings. How long do you think before humans will be living on other planets? Next week. Have you ever seen a UFO? No, I haven't... but in here I have. What's your least favorite song on the jukebox? "The Monster Mash." What's your favorite song? Dean Martin's "Hey Brother, Pour the Wine." Who painted the murals? Originally, some guy painted them nine years ago, and then someone else touched them up last Christmas. Who would you want to send to the moon? Ginger, the bartender. If you were a leader of a cult, what would it be called? The No Hangover Cult.
