Not a huge fan. I know the "Miracle" pop-up is popular and a new fad but...I am not a fan of overpriced drinks in a tiny Christmas cup that I had to wait for. We tried to explain to the hostess we just wanted a drink and would be quick--she told us, 'Nope, sorry, the 45-minute wait is mandatory fun time, no matter what!' We reluctantly decided to join the waiting masses for our sentence of 45 minutes. The ambience was festive enough, with enough Christmas lights to signal aliens. We were eventually offered a seat at the bar and ordered the Nog cocktail for a jolly $14. It took us less than 5 minutes to drink it. The 'Nog must have been batched and ready to go; it was served quicker than I can open a present on Christmas morning, lacklustre and maybe 6 oz of liquid disappointment. For all the hype, I was hoping for more...maybe a sprinkle of nutmeg, or perhaps an appearance from Santa himself to justify the price and the wait time. ‍ read more

If you haven't been to Deadshot for their "Miracle" holiday pop-up yet, you are seriously missing out on the most festive spot in Portland! They completely transform the bar into a winter wonderland--I'm talking wall-to-wall lights, wrapping paper, nostalgia, and pure Christmas chaos in the best way possible. It instantly puts you in the holiday spirit. The staff here are absolute gems. Despite how crazy busy it gets during the pop-up, everyone was super friendly, attentive, and rocking some amazing festive attire. You can tell they work hard to keep the vibes high even when the bar is packed. One of my favorite parts (besides the delicious themed cocktails) is the merch! They have the cutest holiday glassware for sale, including these adorable little shot glasses and Santa mugs that make for perfect stocking stuffers. I definitely grabbed a couple to take home. Pro Tip: Make a reservation! seriously. This place gets absolutely slammed during the holidays because everyone wants to see the decor. If you can't get a res, try to get there right when they open to snag a walk-in spot, but booking ahead saves you the stress. Merry Christmas and cheers to the Deadshot team for keeping the holiday spirit alive! read more

Super late review here but I went for the miracle bar pop up the week after Christmas and I loved it! Super fun cocktails, and great share plates from Plumb.

My date and I came here on a Monday evening after he had suggested we check this place out. The cocktails are unique and flavorful. I had two while here and highly recommend. We ordered a few small plates to share to include fries, pickle plate, beet salad, and beef Wellington. Everything that we had was delicious and highly recommend. I was happy there was plenty of street parking nearby. read more

I wish you would make the lime gram cracker martini with a graham cracker rim! Disappointed it was not. So was my friend. While you're at it coco puff martini with coco puff rim. Bet that would be a hit. :) read more

Nice swanky cocktail bar serving up elevated drinks. We came in before dinner on a Friday night, didn't have a reservations so our seating option was one of the two bars. The place really filled in while we were there, so definitely recommend making a reservation if you want to ensure you've got a spot. I was torn between the blood orange gimlet and gentleman in moscow cocktails, since it was a chilly evening I went with the gentleman in moscow as the gimlet felt a little more summery. I liked the drink but didn't love it, probably wouldn't order this specific one again, but would come back here to try another one. Cocktails ranged from $13-$15 which felt pretty standard and maybe even like a good deal when compared to some of the cocktail bars I'm used to in the Bay Area. read more

Cute place with modern vibes for a little date night. We sat at the bar and had fast, attentive service. I couldn't decide on a drink so I asked the bartender to make me something and he delivered! Highly recommend. read more

The hostesses were great and got us seated instantly at the bar, despite being a walk in. Fun ambiance and the decorations were fun and festive. My partner liked the Rudolph's replacement $17 cocktail (vodka, coffee liqueur, white crème de cacao, orange curaçao, chai, almond milk, aromatic bitters (CONTAINS NUTS)). I ordered the krampus cocktail $17 (reposado tequila, oloroso sherry, allspice dram, mezcal, ginger, hibiscus, lime, hellfire bitters). It was an interesting combination; spicy, more citrus forward than I thought, and all in all, it was just okay...would not order it again. It was off putting that the cocktail was in a ceramic holiday mug that was significantly chipped at the lip of the cup. A straw came with it, but they should have thrown out the mug once it was destroyed. Had it not been for a straw, I would've asked for the drink to be put in a food safe cup. Overall, this place felt over hyped and the experience fell short for me. read more

We decided to get an early dinner, so I searched for steak and "Plumb" came up on Yelp. Plumb runs the kitchen/food that is currently served at Deadshot, but I didnt realize that until we arrived and spoke with the bar owner/bartender who was super kind and welcoming. Even though we arrived shortly after opening, the vibe was already lively but quiet if that makes sense. There were several tables seated but away from the bar and we sat at the bar, so it still kind of felt like we had the place to ourselves which I liked. I'm not much of a cocktail drinker, but if I was I definitely would have ordered one here. Every drink looked incredible but I went with my typical red wine to pair with the burger and steak that we wanted to eat. My husband had a deadshot & a beer which we thoroughly enjoyed while waiting for our food. read more

Finally got a reservation for the Miracle on 9th pop up and it was so fun! I love that they have this in Portland. I got the Rudolph's redemption and i was surprised how good it was. It was prefect balance of alcohol. I also ordered some fries and they were very good. It is a little pricey but you are also paying for the experience. I will definitely be back next year for the Christmas vibes. read more

Made my way here for the Christmas pop up and glad I did! All the food was delicious. The French fries were the best, we ordered 3! The Brie platter was also surprisingly one of my favs as well. Service was good for the most part. One of the waitresses seemed annoyed with how often we were ordering, but I mean everything was so good! read more

I had so wanted to come here for the Miracle Pop-Up, but I was too late to the game to get a reservation. I had read that they are reserving some tables for walk-ins, so we got there a few minutes after they opened. I already had concerns as there was already a small line forming, so I wasn't sure they could take us. Thankfully, they allowed us to sit at the bar. It was a fun spot, as there was only two of us, and we got to watch the bartender making all the festive drinks. He was very chatty and nice. I had the Marshmallow and Unicorn and my husband had Santa's Secrets, which was zero-proof. Of course, true to Miracle Fashion both were served in fun mugs/glasses. Of course all the staff and the bar looks like Christmas threw-up on it (in a good way), but what we really got a kick out of, was how well decorated the bathroom was. Even Hallmark movies you don't see decorated bathrooms. I can't recall ever taking a picture in a public bathroom, but this one was absolutely photo worthy. The bartender did mention we were smart to arrive early, and he was right, as when we were leaving I only saw two seats free. Word to the wise, unless you have a reservation I would not attempt to go here on the weekends through the end of the year unless your bring a lot of patience with you. read more

Loved you guys! Amazing cookies, like best I've ever had (don't tell my grandma). They were warm and squishy on a cold fall evening that I got to share with a good friend, warmed my heart. I wasn't looking forward to a gram cracker rim on my lime martini or coco puff rim on anything, but I for sure wouldn't be disappointed if you never had one. That seems like a weird ass request to think any bar could or would have??? Like let's have a doughnut on a doughnut martini??? You could put the straw through the doughnut because of the hole Definitely not something to downvote a bar for. Keep doing you, I will be back for amazing cocktails and even better cookies. read more

Mid experience. Did the miracle at deadshot paid $5 per person for bar seating just to roll up to an empty bar. We did this on a Tuesday to avoid the crowds (and did). Since there was no one in the bar we asked for a table and the servers were very passive and annoyed. Mentioned I was waiting for friends to arrive and the server grew more annoyed. Friends arrived within 5 mins of our reservation and we were overwhelmed with the menu asked questions and he left mid questioning. Came back and asked us if we were finally ready. Took our order and we ordered two fries which he only put down one order so we had to flag down another server to order the other. Saw the manager or owner taking photos of the holiday dinner plate that had looked like a banquet style microwave dinner. I asked about what sauce came with the Brussels sprouts and was told they are juicy enough on their own. The fries came with a tartar sauce. This place was a mess. Decor was a mess it wasn't very cute. Prices didn't reflect quality. But they did capture miracle at 34th street because I wanted to take my own way out after this experience. I don't think I'd ever pay to feel like I'm in the dollar store like this again. Fix your customer service and decorate for an upscale feeling. read more

GF And I visited the evening of 3/5. We each had the Schnitzel sandwich with fries. GF Has a food sensitivity to garlic and they were able to accommodate that as well. * The fries were amazing! Even after 10-20 minutes, they were still good * Schnitzel was great! The only thing that made it better was a little bit of mustard * Staff was *EXCEPTIONALLY* on point. Even the waitress that wasn't attending to us were attentive to us when he was busy! We will be back! read more

Only constructive feedback I have is that there was no check in after food and drink was dropped. The food was spectacular. The drinks were complex and delicious. The staff was knowledgeable and committed to quality. The aesthetic was trendy, quirky, and high end. My first throught was that this would be a great place to take a date you really wanted to impress. I had the tartar and the marble hill cocktail. Definitely coming back. read more

I've been wanting to go to the Miracle pop up for a couple years, but was unable to get a reservation. This year it was at Deadshot and I was early and got a reservation for a weeknight evening. They required that you pay $2.50 per person just for the reservation. nonrefundable. The 4 of us arrived 15 minutes early and it was a wait for our table. Supposedly the tables of 4 only got 1 hour and 45 minutes at the table before they had to leave so apparently they were behind. We were finally seated about 15 minutes past our reservation. We were supposed to be in the restaurant, but we ended up in the lounge instead which was OK. It was just more crowded. I understand that Deadshot was already known for their craft cocktails. Having the "Miracle at Deadshot" event is a great idea for any establishment because it just drives people there and they spend huge money to attend. The drinks or $17 and yes most of them came in a holiday inspired mug of some sort but the portion was small. You didn't get to keep the mug because it was sold separately. But the drinks were tasty. I chose the Rudolph's Replacement which consisted of Vodka, coffee liqueur, white creme de cacao, orange curaçao, chai, almond milk, aromatic bitters. It was yummy and served in a dinosaur mug, which didn't make sense and it wasn't very big. $17. OK the food is a whole nother story. Ridiculously expensive... When I tell you they had $125 steak, I couldn't believe it who would buy a steak here? I ordered the french fries which were good to snack on but then again they were $10 but affordable. Everything was a small portion for a high price. The place was decorated up and it was very festive. The menus were super cute, and the service was decent for as busy as they were. I think trying one of these Christmas pop-ups at least once is fun but we probably won't do it again. read more

We come here for drinks because they also have food from Sunrice (pop up). I've also came here a couple of times for the Miracle Christmas pop up. The drinks are good. Service is so-so. The skinny guy gives very good service. The gal with the dark brown curly hair is terrible. Location is good, can usually find decent street parking. Indoor and outdoor seating. They have plenty of good heat lamps now during cold weather. read more

Deadshot is located in a neighborhood area in Southeast Portland that started off as a pop-up and is now a brick-and-mortar spot. Their food is Filipino-inspired and their cocktails are inspired by the bartenders' experiences from around the world. My first drink was the who is jack nance? ($14) which seemed to be their most popular drink. It's slightly creamy from the yolk but the unique ingredient was the mustard. I've never had that in a drink before but it was the lingering flavor that was equally intriguing and delicious. My second drink was the casper's ghost ($15) which started off smoky from the mezcal but the bitter melon comes out after. It's a pretty bitter drink but it was something I was strangely into. We got to chatting with the owner Adam who gave us some insights about the two drinks that I ordered. They mix Nance's mustard with simple syrup to use in the drink which is why it has the name it does. He also buys tons of bitter melon from HMart himself to make the casper's ghost. He went on to mention that the drink is weirdly popular given how bitter it is. Many of their cocktails use very unique ingredients that I've never seen before including but not limited to chili crisp, galangal, za'atar, and cumin. They are all super intriguing and I'd be interested in coming back to try these other drinks. read more

Went last night for a night cap. What a find! We've only lived here six weeks, so trying new places is our jam right now. Matt was the best bartender! Told us so much about the drinks. Also told us about the area and places to visit. The drinks were amazing! This place is so moody, hip, cool. Decor is spot on. Up with Vegas and NY types of cocktail bars. And Matt was awesome. Friendly. Talented. Love this joint and we will be back. read more

One of the best cocktail bars in Portland. They're closing Nov 9th. Go see them before they go!

Consistently good and unique cocktails, delicious food, and great service. Minors allowed earlier in the evening which is a plus too.

Slam dunk. In all honesty, we came for the food. They have had some collaborations that has us wandering when we would get the chance to make it. Thankfully, tonight was the night. The food is Filipino inspired and taste m-wise it is delicious. The cocktail selection is great, but I cannot say anymore about the food. It's one of those I crave and drive across town for. We got the katsu adobo, pancit malabon (on point) and lechon/pork sisig. Try it out. Street parking. I love it. Give it a try. read more

Came here for Negroni week and were not disappointed. I get why people call it a hidden gem . The drinks and the staff both surpassed our expectations . The bartender was such a friendly and kind person . They checked up on us often and gave good recommendations and made the best drinks on top of that . We had the Classic as well as the Pineapple Negroni and both drinks came out amazing . Plenty of seating and social distancing is being maintained . we sat at the bar and had a fun chat with the bartender . Since we had already had dinner , we did not try any food here but the menu sure looked interesting . I am a 100% planning on returning and trying some more of those delicious and creative cocktails . read more

Dropped by during their collab period with Miracle Bar, serving winter themed drinks, and I gotta say that I'm impressed by their creativity with the drinks and decors. Colorful tinsels every which way with custom made glassware, candles, and the staffs also dressed up as reindeers and elves. Can't be more festive than that. The drinks were definitely good and unique. Wouldn't say that I want to go back specifically for them though; I guess they're winter drinks for a reason. Totally would be down to check out their regular menu and spend more time at the bar to soak in the fun ambience they got going on. Heard good things about their desserts as well so need to be back for that! read more

Came here on a recommendation from a former boss and am kicking myself that we didn't visit sooner. We showed up at 430 on a Saturday and business picked up by the time we were leaving about an hour later. We ordered two cocktails each and the shrimp croquettes. Highly recommend! Would definitely like to come back hungrier to try the other food options because they looked delicious. There wasn't a drink we didn't like of the 4 we ordered so will absolutely be back. read more

Fantastic food and drinks here and recommend it for that reason. However the service was super slow and it was so hot inside... Was over 80 degrees inside. We were hoping to escape the 95+ degree weather to an air-conditioned cocktail bar. We walked into this place around 7:30p and it was hot inside and the water we were served was super warm with no ice. Great food and drinks though... Just don't recommend this place on a hot day or if you want prompt, friendly service read more

Thursday night dinner and drinks on the heated patio...will definitely be back. The sunshine rice was a delicious addition to both the pork sisig and the mushroom sisig were amazing. We shared fries which were super good too. My boyfriend got the grilled cheese and added pork to it and that was super good too. The amount of food for the price seemed just right and it was a good vibe for hanging out on the patio Wish I'd gotten a pic of the cocktails because they were pretty and tasted as good as they looked. The virgin soda killed it for me though and I'd definitely get it again. read more

It was great to find this hidden awesome place. We had great food, drink, and space to enjoy.

One of our favorite specialty/craft cocktail bars in all of Portland so I guess it's time to leave an official review! Every cocktail we have had here has been perfectly balanced, unique and just easy to drink. The ingredients are well thought out and unique. The staff here are all so passionate about what they do it shows in each cocktail made. This bar also has some fun pop ups and specialty events come through. We went to the holidays season Miracle Bar pop up and loved it too! Today we were there when the Monkey Shoulder Scotch tour came through so they had their regular menu and a few special events drinks. We of course tried them all. There is an outdoor patio, indoor booths, lounge areas and of course bar top seating if you like to watch them create magic up close. Id definitely recommend coming here if you are a fan of a good cocktail with a relaxed, comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Can't wait to see what they have come out next read more
