La Luna (or LaLuna) was a rock-'n'-roll nightclub in Portland, Oregon, United States from 1992 to 1999. Willamette Week described it as "For most of the 1990s, this inner-Southeast club was the center of gravity for the Portland music scene."
Located at the corner of Southeast Ninth Avenue and Southeast Pine Street, La Luna's main performance space could accommodate around 1,000 spectators. It was previously known as the Ninth Street Exit (in the 1970s) and the Pine Street Theater (1980–1991). It was called RKCNDY Portland (Rock Candy) for most of 1992. It later returned to its original name, the Pine Street Theater (2000–02), before being redubbed Solid State (2004–05) during its final years of operation.
The balcony served as a smaller performance space for more intimate shows and featured musicians like Elliot Smith. An eatery named the La Luna Cafe opened in 2020 and is currently located in the same building.
