At Weatherford’s
Firefly Lounge boasts unique video dance show
Weatherford's Grand Lodge is a fine dining establishment located in a landmark Oregon City building built in 1923. Its present owners Eric Noel and General Manager Darin Smith, along with Executive Chef Mike Castellani, have created a relaxing and elegant atmosphere where friends can gather to dine and enjoy fine entrees created specifically from locally grown ingredients.
With steaks, seafood, lamb and pasta selections, there is something for the even the most discerning palate. Prices are quite reasonable and service is friendly and efficient.
Not only is Weatherford's a fine dining restaurant, it also is establishing itself as an entertainment destination in Oregon City. The restaurant is downstairs, but upstairs is the Firefly Lounge offering a huge ballroom for banquets, private parties and events. Included is a full bar and a separate billiards room.

As the main entertainment feature, the Firefly Lounge offers Karaoke on Thursday nights and a unique video dance DJ show on Friday nights. Host of Karaoke is Bustamove DJ Services of Portland. With a full professional lighting system, JVC sound gear and a large computerized Karaoke system, Bustamove offers a large Karaoke assortment with something from most musical styles.
Miss DJ C is the Karaoke host and has big goals for her show and the Firefly Lounge. She explains, “I'd like to make this the Karaoke hotspot of Oregon City. I want to play stuff that makes people happy. A variety of music and be able to get the through the rotation so everybody gets a chance to sing. We're building a following and beginning to see regulars and have large parties show up."
Frankie Bratcher, owner of Bustamove, had this to say about the gig at The Firefly and Weatherford's; "One thing that impresses me about Weatherford's and the Firefly are the two hardest working owners and managers I've ever seen: Eric and Darin. They're here Monday to Sunday, open to close. You can really tell that they take a lot of pride and have passion in what they're doing. They have the same philosophy as I do, a small business with a lot of passion." Specifically towards Karaoke, Bratcher had this to say; "We can't really consider ourselves DJs. We consider ourselves entertainers. We have ten employees and do all sorts of events and parties."
