Came here thinking it was just a random bar but was shocked and surprised when I got inside. Literally LOVED the experience of this place. Hostess and staff was very friendly, I felt like I was about to get on the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland lol. Just the atmosphere was why I love this place, no lights in there very dark and only lit by candles. If you love Halloween,we'll its Halloween here all the time. Drinks is what I had the most and if I could I would of try them all. read more

I'm giving the place five stars but with a note. The ambience here is unique and fun! My friends were jealous when I started sending them photos. The drink menu is fun to explore! Our service was super friendly and fun. We will definitely come again the next time we're in town. Now the note. There is some confusion about bar seating. Ive seen a few negative reviews from people who were told there would be a wait when there were empty seats at the bar. This happened to us our first time too. Like other people, we were confused why we couldn't sit there. In our case we were told it was a 45 min wait. This time we had reservations and were shown to our seat right away. If Ravens Manor would just clear this up for people it would help eliminate some of those negative reviews. OH! One more critically important note: REDRUM is supposed to be spelled with backwards letters as it's a mirror image. Cmon Ravens Manor! LOL read more

Let me revise, as my previous review was removed. After plenty of research, I wanted to visit Raven's Manor, visiting from CA. We stopped by on a Monday night at 8pm and when we entered, the hostess advised that the wait was 1.5 hours. It was surprising for a Monday night, and I was a little confused as we saw plenty of seating available. We were a party of 2, and we could see many empty seats available with small groups spread out everywhere. We were also advised it's a $10 cover fee per person. I think drink minimums per person would be reasonable, but cover at a bar and not a club is strange to me. We hesitated a bit, trying to decide if we wanted to put our name down or not as it would be 1.5hr wait outside at night in this area, cover per person, and drinks on top of it. Also, the hostess was very short and snappy with us, so she also impacted my first impression of this establishment. While we could overlook cover since we came from out of town, we decided that if we were going to be treated rudely at the door, it would be likely that the rest of our service would be poor as well, reflected by the hostess. She seemed annoyed that we took a few minutes to discuss putting out name down. It's not like there was anyone behind us. Overall, my short experience and interaction with the hostess wasn't pleasant. Cute bar though. The decorations are abundant. read more

Raven’s Manor - Open seats scattered but would not let our party of 2 in - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Portland, Oregon

My date and I came here on a Monday night early without reservations. We sat at the bar and had a few cocktails. The drinks and vibes were so much fun. After we had our drinks we explored a little bit. Be sure to check out the bathroom! There is paid street parking available. I would recommend reservations especially on busier days/times of the week. read more

Really awesome spooky venue over the historic tunnels. The vibe is scary, gothic, romantic and pretty. Loved it. Service was excellent.

Amazing. I would definitely be a regular if I lived in Portland. The cocktails, the atmosphere, and the wait staff were all so memorable. I loved every second of it. Super cool experience and great cocktails. This is a must visit. read more

What a place! If you're a fan of spooky vibes and avant-garde things, you'll love it here. There are so many little easter eggs I don't want to reveal in this review, but I'll let you all experience it on your own. The only thing holding this place back from a 5 star review is the price. They definitely know they can charge a bit of a premium. read more

It was my son's 21st bday. We reserved the elixir experience and it made the whole night! The food, the ambience, the service was out of this world! We also really appreciated the dedication to not over serving, it provided a great example! Thank you! Can't wait to come back! PS everyone is still talking about the shrimp and beignets read more

Awesome spooky themed cocktail bar - must try one. Cool Ambiance, Excellent service Me n my wife walked in with out reservation and got seated in 15 mins. The have a great collection of cocktails and team was happily helping us explains the dishes and cocktails as we here for the first time. French fries, burger and steak, killer shrimp those are just flavor packed read more

Every time I come here, I am blown away by the food! The ambiance is overwhelming in a good way-- more of an experience. But the food and drinks- the uniqueness of it plus the taste? It's just phenomenal! Goth, kinda dark (in a good way) like the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland but for grown ups! Not cheap, but worth every cent for outstanding food, taste, service, cocktails and ambiance! read more

Regardless of time of year this is a fun place if you're into a spooky setting. The staff is always great and their drink menu is fun. This year we were able to enjoy the Krampus decor and menu. It was super fun. I highly recommend the White Witch but honestly you can't go wrong with one of their drinks. read more

Had a wonderful time here! Wonderfully haunted vibes. Staff was very knowledgeable and communicative with kitchen about celiacs needs. No dedicated fryer, but I got a side salad with my burger and the dressing was amazing, didn't even feel like I was missing out. Their standard hamburger with the gluten free bun was honestly one of the best I've ever had. We couldn't put it down because of how delicious it was and the bun held up really well. We also got off menu spring rolls that was recommended by staff and hopefully they will be making it a permanent item. read more

This spooky-themed bar really nails the dark, haunted ambiance. The lighting is low, the décor is eerie in a fun way, and the overall vibe feels immersive and intentional--perfect for anyone who loves a moody atmosphere. Fun spot to celebrate Halloween, but we were here celebrating 2 birthdays! Love that they offered free desserts to the birthday boys! The drinks were okay. Well made, but on the spendy side for the size and complexity. That said, the presentation fit the theme nicely. The staff were friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, making the experience feel welcoming despite the dark setting. While it's not necessarily a place to stay I'd for hours, it's a great spot for a themed night out, a couple of drinks, and soaking in the haunted atmosphere. They have an upstairs and a photo-booth in the back. Solid 4-star experience overall. read more

I found this place by looking for weird restaurants in Portland (might as well, right?) when I went there a few months ago. Boy, did this live up. The vibe is "haunted Speakeasy" and the decor and menu reflect that. I had a few drinks. One was their specialty: a glowing, bubbling concoction called Dr. Raven's Reserve. The other was a very old-fashioned absinthe tower. For my food I ordered a Wendigo Burger (bleu, of course), branded with a pentagram. LOL. Nice touch. My server, Neo, was awesome, and the whole place had a queer-friendly, everyone is welcome vibe. read more

So grateful to have a place this cool in my hometown! We've been here many times but this was our first time during Christmas time and it was somehow even more amazing. So much effort is put into decorating. Every inch of this place is decked out and there's something interesting everywhere you look. Usually places like this are a tourist trap with mediocre food but the food here is delicious! Can't go wrong with the burger, it's juicy and has great flavor. We've had other things like steak and grilled cheese that are also delicious. I've never had anything bad here. If you want something sweet, I recommend the screaming ghosts. Drinks are also delicious of course. There are so many great options. Definitely try the mead! The yeti has a great smokey flavor from the mezcal and the Tea n Tarot comes with a fun tarot reading from your waiter. Shout out to Bebe for being amazing! The staff here are always wonderful! read more

Raven's Manor has been such a fun addition to the Portland bar scene over the last few years and the spooky charm grows on me more each year~ I first swung by this place when it had just opened and thankfully there were not crazy lines or over charges for events (will say this has been a downside more recently). I love the spooky drinks, the activities you can sign up for, and the mild fright that is pervasive throughout. I have been by a couple times to get their syringe filled jello shots, smoking cocktails, and eerie bites. This spot is definitely about the ambience and experience so expect it to be more crowded certain times of the year -- I'm looking at your Halloween l o l The last couple of times I have tried to go, there have either been events requiring a cover charge or waits that were much too long to justify waiting. Hopefully I can pop in again at some point to enjoy the spooky scary skeletons~ read more

We visited Raven's Manor in early October for my fiancé's birthday, and it ended up being the perfect choice. The whole place has a spooky, haunted vibe that fits October without feeling gimmicky--dark Victorian decor, eerie lighting, and a fun, immersive atmosphere that makes you feel like you're stepping into a themed story. The staff was all dressed up in makeup which was a nice added touch and they gave us a free birthday beignet. Service was friendly and attentive. It was a great place to celebrate, and we had a really fun time. If you're looking for a unique bar experience in Portland--especially around spooky season--Raven's Manor is definitely worth checking out. read more

I am absolutely obsessed with this place!! I am a fan of anything spooky/horror and this spot itched that special place in my brain. From the decor, food presentation, and interactions with staff, you really get immersed into the whole experience. What's awesome is that after you're done w drinks/meals, you can explore the manor. There's some cool stuff to discover! read more

If you're in Portland you must come here!! But first make sure you make a reservation! I highly recommend it. This place is such a vibe! If you love Halloween you will love this place. Took my boyfriend here for his birthday and we have a great experience!! The drinks we tried were pretty good. But the truffle fries were the best we've ever had so far! Also if it's your birthday they give you a little treat on the house. We got a little ghost beignet!! read more

This place is haunted mansion meets Portland. About campy but in that all in kind of way. I'd recommend for anyone not on a budget how loves the more gothic side of undeath. A treat spot to get a little Halloween off season, Food way good with themed names. Drinks standard fare though a little too sweet. Fun little scares here and there if you explore the place. If you want serious or scary you'll be disappointed. But why would you want that it dinner or drinks. Hope to have a chance to come back someday and take their potions class that looked like people had fun with. read more

An awesome horror-themed cocktail bar that transforms with the seasons. We visited during Halloween, and it was exactly what we all had hoped for, Halloween everywhere and incredible hospitality from the hosts to our server. The cocktails were creative and simple, you pay for the experience. The bar top setting during Halloween is unlike anything else in Portland and worth checking out. And fair warning... if you head downstairs to the bathroom, multiple surprises are waiting for you read more

We booked the Elixir Experience for a party of 4 on a Saturday evening at 9pm. We shared the experience with another party of 3. The experience was so fun much! Lady Red was hilarious, charismatic and made the whole first part of our time a blast. The "doctor" was fantastic and gave each party equal attention and made sure we were being safe and having a great time the entire time we were concocting our elixirs. The drinks were good and we were treated to a private dining area once we were all finished. We ordered the vegan beignets which were in the shapes of ghosts and made my heart so happy! I will definitely tell friends to check it out if they haven't already. It feels like such a Portland thing to do! read more

First timer to Portland and this has been on my list of need to go to places. I love anything Halloween related or gothic architecture or just the vibes of goth culture. Beautiful decor and a really excellent aura. Music is perfect and actually songs I already had on my playlists like Peter Guidry's "vampire masquerade". We enjoyed talking to Robyn as well as drinking the drinks that were made! We have truly enjoyed our time so far in Oregon and the Portland surrounding areas and I hope to be able to frequent at this bar one day. This should be on your list of places to go. read more

Such a beautiful place, but their hours are incorrect and they were turning a ton of people away at 11:30pm when their hours specifically say midnight. Great place. I just think they need to adjust the hours on their site so that people coming hundreds of miles to see their gorgeous place are not disappointed that they cannot even come in when their site is not upholding the integrity of their actual hours, no matter what state it is. read more

I've heard so much about this place and got the chance to visit for the first time this past Saturday night! The atmosphere was insane! There was a consistent spooky theme and the kindest staff members. With each table being candlelit, it added to the spooky mood. I loved being able to walk around and admire the decor and artwork. There was even a photo booth in the back! This place is a must-visit! Since I stuck with water this time around and didn't get to try any of the fun drinks my friends got, I will definitely be back to appreciate the fun drinks! One of my friends even received her drink in a skull-shaped cup - how cool! We were there to celebrate our other friend's 21st birthday, and she received a free little dessert too. I won't stop recommending this place to everyone I know! read more

Their special event ticket purchasing "system" is ridiculous. They advertised their launch date and time. I was on their link tree site refreshing the page over and over for the better part of an hour, while also DMing them on insta and nothing! Then they tell me it was some cart issue that people had it in their cart and showed as sold out. 1) I was on there before the launch started - it didnt sell out 1 minute BEFORE the event even started. 2) Clearly it was never even added! They advertised the event and people set aside their time to be available during a weekend. Absolutely awful customer service, fail, fail, utter fail! read more

This was the first time I've been disappointed coming here, the first two food items I ordered they were out of. Our waiter had to come back and take our order after checking back over the menu. They had a fun add on for their ice cream and they were out of that too. Super disappointing that so many items were completely out, and I wish the waiter had let us know when we sat down, but it is what it is. We got in there right before the spooky decor was gone, I'm glad we did, it was so fun! Spiders and webs everywhere, they're already a 'spooky' spot, but all the extras and light color changes at the tables were super fun. We walked around after we were done eating and I feel like I find new things every-time we visit. Unfortunately, our waiter was also hard to track down the whole time. It wasn't too busy, but they kept disappearing when we needed them. They only came over when they were bringing us drinks or food. I still highly recommend this spot, I'm excited to check out their Krampus decoration and do the elixir experience again if I can grab a reservation. If you haven't been, you've got to go check them out! read more

Make a reservation! For the bar or the experience, just fo it. They never have space for walk ins. You will be really sad when you get turned away for mot making a reservation. The Elixir Experience could not have exceeded my expectations more than it did. I was expecting a group experience, at a family style table, with a bartender who was ready to go home, telling us how to mix a few drinks. What I was not expecting was interactive dinner theater. I don't know how else to explain it. We encountered Elizabeth, Dr. Raven's daughter who took us on an escape room~esque adventure in order to get us to drink the first dose of an Elixir that would prime us for some experiments. I was not expecting an actual DUNGEON in a BASEMENT that you access by secret stairs! I won't spoil the rest of the experience but if you haven't already you need to put this on your must do list because if you don't you're missing out the the coolest thing to do in the area. The website says it's 90 minutes but we were there for a bit over 2 hours. read more

Stopped by the weekend of Veterans Day and got there right when they opened because we didn't have an appointment. We waited in line for maybe 10mins tops and the hostess was VERY nice and accommodating. We sat at the bar and one of the bartenders (a Latina) was super chill, chatted with us while she made amazing drinks. Shared with us what she was making etc. The decor here is pretty amazing. We were told they change it up every few seasons so this one was still Halloween themed but the next one was Krampus, which yassss!! I'd return here if I lived here. The hallway going to the restrooms were especially creepy, the picture frames jumping out at you loudly and the creepy voices in the bathroom- at least in the female one. Most excellent creativity!! Just walking around the place was fun, and they have lil workshops here too, can probably find them online somewhere- people were dressed in lab coats. Way cute. It's pricey though but what isn't nowadays. The decor and ambiance is what you pay for - the drinks weren't strong but still very cool. Oh! And the crows outside make it even more impressive. Real crows in the trees l, chilling in downtown PDX. Dope! read more

A great immersive experience! The whole bar is very dark and had the essence of a lively haunted house. The employees were very friendly and embodied fun but spooky personas that were on theme with the atmosphere. The mezcal cocktail I had was also very delicious.

There's also spooky little surprises hidden throughout the establishment that you're free to explore. read more

"It's always Halloween in my soul." Is this you? Then Raven's Manor is the spot for you, if you're like me. I was able to snag a 9pm reservation after randomly coming across this place on Google Maps, looking for places to go near our hotel. I was hyped for this one as a spooky fan. Service here was great and so were the drinks and beignets! I had the Chemical X (mocktail) and Jekyll and Hyde (cocktail). Ambiance was also fantastic here - it's great to look around and take pics. read more

I definitely recommend this restaurant as it's a very unique and fun dining experience. It's a mix between romantic (dim lit) & festive (spooky Halloween). I recommend making a reservation and/or expect a long wait when you arrive - it's typical to have a line outside the restaurant as it is constantly busy. IMO, it's best to arrive at the time they open. We arrived 20 minutes before they opened and there was a line already forming outside the entrance, but we got in quickly as soon as they opened. We came here for dinner and drinks and it was such a fun experience. The ambience is filled with thoughtful, spooky decorations at every part of the restaurant including the table settings, decor, lighting, menu names/items, & food/drink presentations. Even the staff were dressed in costumes and acted/spoke in a haunted & eery way which fit right in with the theme. The food was delicious. The 3 drinks we ordered (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Crystal Ball, & Sanderson's Life Potion) were all delicious, well made, & arrived with fun presentation. The food we ordered (app: Killer Shrimp & entrees: Grilled Cheese of Darkness, Parasitic Mind Risotto) were all delicious and full of flavor. The only complaint I can say is the risotto came with shrimp that still had the shell/tail which made it quite difficult and messy to eat. I would've preferred they unshelled the shrimp considering it was a $30 dish and it required a lot of work (& mess) to eat under such a dim lit setting. Above all, highly recommend & I look forward to another opportunity to try it again! read more

If you're looking for a well rounded dining experience then this is the place! Raven's Manor has goth & spooky decor & staff play into the theme & ambiance. There are tables & a couple of booths downstairs & tables upstairs as well. They take reservations as well as walk-ins, which is what my group did. We were greeted & seated by the host Jaz who was lovely. Julian was our server & they were wonderful as well - personable & professional. The drinks we ordered were super fun & hit the spot. I don't want to go into too much detail because the experience is awesome firsthand. My friend & I split the Gnocchi dish that was served in a bowl the shape of a rib cage & we ate every bite. The Jalapeño pesto sauce was super flavorful. After dining & paying they encouraged us to walk around to explore the rest of the manor. The bathrooms are a whole thing that I don't want to ruin for those who choose to go here. While the menu is a little pricey, my group thought it was worth it. We really enjoyed our night at the manor! read more

A magical, moody, and totally memorable evening. If you're into escape rooms, clever cocktails, immersive storytelling, or just love a well-themed night out, you'll want to book the Elixir Experience at Ravens Manor. From the moment you step inside, you're transported into a gothic atmosphere rich in detail, and everyone working here is fully in character--committed, witty, and wonderfully eerie in the best way. The experience itself is part puzzle-solving, part potion-making, and part theatrical performance. It's interactive without being awkward, and educational without feeling like a class--just a really fun, hands-on way to learn and sip. You even get to mix your own cocktail as part of the experience, guided by your in-character host. One tip: come hungry, but don't expect to eat during the experience itself. You'll have time afterward to order food, and they'll serve it in a private area set aside just for party, which made the whole thing feel even more special. The food was solid and the drinks throughout were creative and delicious. Highly recommend for small groups, dates, or anyone who appreciates a little theatrical flair with their evening out. One of our party (me) had tons of food allergies. They were super attentive and I fully participated in all of the event. Great, knowledgeable and accommodating staff - highly recommend! read more

This place is just so cool. Decked out floor to ceiling (including the bathrooms), flickering candles and glowing cocktails adorning the tables, eerie gothic music that completes the ambiance... They delivered. Reservations are highly recommended. My wife and I arrived as walk-ins right after opening (reservations that evening were full so we took our chances) and I'm so glad they were able to seat us. Our server was super polite and the seafood pasta was amazing. I ordered a "Spiritual Renewal", this was my first time trying a smoked cocktail and I enjoyed the way it lingered. The taste and smell complemented the dark, vintage atmosphere nicely. Prices are a bit on the steep side, though it could be argued you're paying for the experience of it all rather than just the food. And speaking of experiences, we didn't try the Elixir Experience, but I may have to book it for next time I'm in the area. Either way, we'll be back... read more
