Rontoms’ 100th Free Show

Sunday, January 24th, 2010

Rontoms is one of those bars that has absolutely no information on their website, sports only a small insignia on their building front, and basically leaves people completely reliant upon sites like pc-pdx for a weekly lineup for their free Sunday shows. The drinks may not be as cheap as other venues around town but […]
