Lola's Room is a venue operated by McMenamins inside Portland, Oregon's Crystal Ballroom, in the United States.

Lola's Room is operated by McMenamins as a "secondary venue" on the second floor of the Crystal Ballroom,[1][2] a historic building on West Burnside Street. The space is named after Lola Baldwin (1860–1957), one of the first policewomen in the United States. Covering the Crystal Ballroom's history, David Greenwald of The Oregonian called Lola's Room "the downstairs space named after the purity-minded policewoman from decades before".[3]

In 2017, the newspaper's Grant Butler wrote, "The little sister of the Crystal Ballroom opened in 2000, and became (and remains) a popular destination on Fridays... A big-screen TV shows vintage videos, while the 'floating' floor offers plenty of bounce. The space has room for 350 people, making it an intimate venue to hear live music."[4]
