    Hawaiiana pizza from next door. Order in person and they bring it on a tray instead of a box.

    I've been to Holy Ghost twice now and I love it! The decor is very cool and the music isn't excessively loud. In fact this time they played 70s hits all night, which was amazing. A lot of their speciality cocktails have tequila or mezcal which isn't my favorite but they still have good options. The cocktails I've had there are some of my favorites anywhere: The American Pie and Copacabana! We love that we can order from the pizza or Chinese restaurant next door and they bring the food to your table in the bar.

    My friends and I wanted a more low key New Year's Eve, so we ended up at the Holy Ghost Bar. The bar was decorated with Christmas lights, has a beautiful mural of a woman on a couch holding a fan on the left side of the wall, and a skeleton hold a fan on the right side. There are seats around the bar, standing tables, a sunken area, and an outside patio with a fire pit. We were able to score seats at the bar. Although it was fairly crowded, our server and bartender, Sid, was still attentive. We never had empty glasses for very long. They had specials for NYE in addition to their regular cocktail menu. Sometimes craft cocktails miss the mark for me...Not here! I did not try one single cocktail that I did not enjoy! The cocktails were masterful and delicious! My first drink was their Ramos Gin Fizz. I am not a huge gin fan, but I decided to try it anyway, and I loved it! The foam from the frothy egg white towers over your glass, and the orange flower water gave it a hint of a delightful floral taste. My next drink was their American Pie made with Maker's Mark, amaretto, applejack, chai syrup, egg whites, and apple bitters. It was a perfect cocktail for a winter day. Feeling curious, my third cocktail was their Pad Thai. I wondered what peanut butter would taste like in a cocktail? I only tasted a hint of peanut butter, but instead, was hit with a sweet burn on my tongue from the Thai chilis cazadores reposado. It was sooo good! I ended the night with an Espresso Martini. It had the perfect taste of coffee and three decorative coffee beans on top. The bar also allows you to bring in food from the neighboring restaurants, 28 Tigers and Pan Con Queso, so we ordered two pizzas while we enjoyed our cocktails. We will definitely be back to try more inventive cocktails soon!

    Popped into Holy Ghost yesterday because I had heard great things about their alcohol-free cocktail menu. I'm not doing a full Dry January, but mocktails are trendy and I wanted to try them! Located on SE 28th, street parking only. The bar has a cool atmosphere - neon signs, large art pieces, a sunken area, and a fire pit outside. Signs say to order at the bar, but they mean to order specifically at the portion of the bar that doesn't have seating. Their entire menu looks really cool but I focused on their alcohol free section. I got two drinks: the Chai Town and the No Worries Fizz. Both were delicious. The chai was fresh and warming. The fizz took about 10 minutes to make but it tasted like cotton candy. At $11-14 for a mocktail, they're a bit pricey. But they definitely show this team knows how to make good drinks. I think I'll be back for some cocktails!

    Been wanting to check this place out for awhile and I'm so glad we finally stopped by. We found off street parking right in front of 28 Tigers on a Friday night. We sat at the bar and perused their extensive menu. Very cool vibes, the space is huge. We started with the passion fruit marg and Folsom prison. Both very delicious cocktails, so we had to get another round. This time we ordered the acid trip and the cap girl. Again, it hit the mark. Prices ranged from $11-18 for cocktails. Service was quick and efficient. Our bartender (I think Mitch?) even gave us some local recommendations. Drinks came out quick. Food is available to order from 28 Tigers next door and they will even deliver if it's not too busy. We didn't try that food but the menu looks amazing. We will def be back!

    Three years later, still my go-to in this neck of the woods. Staff is great, and the Spaghett menu is a major key.

    Tried Holy Ghost for the first time this Saturday and it was cute. I liked the decor, there's a variety of seating options and a nice dog friendly patio. The drink menu is also pretty cute, with some kitschy drink names somewhat typical of trendy portland bars. I totally appreciate that though. They have a good variety of margaritas and several unusual flavors so naturally we had to try them. I had the CHAI Margarita, the BANANA Margarita, and the WATERMELON margarita. The watermelon flavor was great, not too sweet. The chai was also good, I liked the spice and the banana was solid but that one had the lightest flavor notes of the three. It's nice that the electric pizza company shares a patio and Chinese food from 28 tigers is available from the bar. I tried both of those as well. In good weather I definitely recommend this bar. Later on we brought our pooch to the patio and everyone was pretty dog friendly. This is a great place to enjoy a drink if you have your furry friend with you.

    Wow. Every bit as cool as I had hoped. What absolutely SHOCKED me about Holy Ghost was the size. From the many reviews I had read, I thought it was a really SMALL venue! It's MASSIVE! Thankfully so, since it was fairly busy when we got there just before 10pm, and there were plenty of tables both inside and out. It's a very nice bar, asthetically pleasing, with a lot of seating options. If you're a couple looking for an intimate two top, they've got you. A big group that wants privacy, big booth towards the back. The music is fun, standard bar music, but not so loud you can't hold a conversation. We chose outside, since with another heat wave headed our way, the cool air was all too nice not to enjoy. I got a Pearl of the West, my husband got the Yes, Queen. I also did a share on the Mezcal flight here. I'll tell you about the flight first. We shared absolute top shelf Mezcal at the first spot we did a flight, so this was incomparable. They all tasted relatively the same with nothing notable. They weren't bad, they just weren't excellent. The Yes, Queen was not my taste AT ALL but my husband enjoyed it. He said the same of my Pearl of the West. I am remiss not to have gotten photos of the drinks but I will be back. The drinks were great and we barely started trying out the menu. The Gin Fizz looked amazing, as my friend got it and I took a short video of the shaker machine. SO cool and the way it looks when it's served is incredible. The menu has SO many great drinks I have to come back. Such a cool spot.

    Are children allowed?

    Yes, until 9pm

    Do they serve food or snacks?

    Yes! The bar serves a limited menu and shares space with two restaurants--28 Tigers and Electric Pizza Co--both of which serve their food in the bar itself

One thing that bothered me though (and I know maybe I'll get hate for this), is I feel like some of the decor is tone deaf. They have a bunch of colonial men ceramic decor, but they partner with and serve food from a Filipino company. I'm Filipino and it was a bit offensive to me because even if the point of having them is trying to make fun of them, it's not really funny. We were colonized for over 300 yrs and still deal with the trauma from it. Please consider removing the colonial decor. I really enjoyed the bar and want to enjoy it in the future, but I don't think it's necessary to have those things in the bar and doesn't add anything to how cool the bar is apart from that. UPDATE: the bar messaged me. They were super professional and kind in their response. I really appreciate that they were open to my perspective on the colonial items and said they will be removed. Thank you so much!! Looking forward to enjoying the bar in the future
