    Spawn of Satan
    Alicia C.

    My sister and I stopped by here on our sister day. The ambience was amazing, we loved the small details like the toy rat hidden amongst the spirits behind the bar. We tried Prowl by Night, Spawn of Satan, & Surf and Rally. The bartender was friendly and was great about checking in to see if we needed anything.

    Honey Mustard Chick'n Sandwich with Mac and Cheese
    Stephanie L.

    It's been almost three weeks and I am still thinking about The Uncanny daily! Seriously the best vegan burger I have had in my 20+ years of not eating meat. Even my boyfriend who eats meat is still raving about this burger. I visited The Uncanny on my trip to Portland, which I planned specifically for eating at vegan restaurants. While I certainly enjoyed many of the other plant-based spots, The Uncanny most definitely stood out. The Super Smash Burger is a must! So full of flavor and the fries are perfectly seasoned and crispy. We also had the Honey Mustard Chick'n Sandwhich and upgraded our side to mac n' cheese which was absolutely delicious. The Uncanny offers many spirit-free drinks, including the Juicy Lucy which is mixed with CBD soda. It was perfectly sweet and complimented the food nicely. The decor of this place is awesome and the female bartender brought a great energy to the place. However, seating inside is limited so I would recommend planning ahead. They do have outdoor heaters, but as a visitor I was a little chilly - still 100% worth it! Might visit Portland again just to eat here again!

    I haven't been to the uncanny in a while! It's an all vegan cocktail bar with delicious bites. I was very impressed by the Mac salad ($6). It was perfect for summer and creamy. I feel like I don't get many opportunities to eat a Mac salad, so I was definitely impressed by its quality. Next, Dinger's Cuban sandwich ($18): the quality was good. Bread from dos Hermanos. However the fries reminded us of McDonald's fries so I was disappointed by the quality! The saucy minx was refreshing ($14). My type of Cocktail. Just like a spicy marg but refreshing from the cucumber. The ambiance was cool inside. It's a Victorian styled home, formerly known as psychic bar, with dark, witch-like vibes. I like the red neon lights that line up with the window. Service was quick. Great outdoor patio too because the inside is a bit smaller.

    Perfect place to visit for spooky season the older house vibe of this place is perfect with the theme here and the drinks wrap it all up perfectly. Drinks here were actually crafted cocktails not some gimmicky themed drink. Service was super nice and helpful, bartender even helped me carry my drinks outside to the patio since I ordered a few too many drinks to carry haha patio area is a super chill place to be for these cool Oregon nights as they have heaters too! Recommend putting this place at the top of your list of spooky bars. Cheers!

    If I didn't have photos to prove it, I would've put this on the 'this place is too rad to have existed' list! Full disclosure, was out with a vegetarian and decided to grab a quick drink before venturing down Mississippi. Who knew that the Psychic Bar was gone and had been replaced by this awesome spooky bar that is haunted by some of the friendliest bartenders in town? That said, let's get down to business! Ambience! It's GORGEOUS and I mean 'you already took your date to Sapphire Hotel and need someplace new to bring those romance vibes' gorgeous. If I was someone looking to take someone to a romantic spot they hadn't been to before, I'd def lean here (and even if they've been here before, the place is really good so they probably won't get mad if you bring them here again). Drinks! I got the That's Nectar which is pretty cute as the cocktails go! Aside from being a very pretty cocktail, it's ****ing DELICIOUS. It's a mix of rum, old tom gin, passion fruit, licore strega, clarified lime, bitters, infused with fruit... look man, just get it. I took one sip and thought 'this is a revelation (it is REALLY good)' I finished that bad boy and thought 'hmm Imma gonna get another one of those (as it is REALLY REALLY good!) Foods! I know it's trite, but FOR REALS if I didn't know this place was vegan I would've never known. Their seitan chicken is CONVINCING (and super yummy!), LOVED the shishito peppers as well (and super recommend getting them if you're there!) One thing I will say is that sandwich is HUGE. We split ours and the peppers and were barely successful in vanquishing Seitan (but it was super tasty so I'm looking forward to going back and vanquishing Seitan again!) That said, The Uncanny's like the best of dates. A little spooky, a little intimate, and a lot of memories so good you can't wait to go back

    Trippy bathroom

    At 5:45 on a Friday the lower level was very busy but this place has a massive patio and an upstairs. The decor is witchy, broody and moody--glowing red neon adorning the windows makes this place hard to miss. It took a little while to get served but with how busy it was it was not shocking-- the server can cash you out with a mobile device that at least saves you a longer wait to close your tab. The drinks came out surprisingly fast and were really well crafted and a reasonable Portland cocktail price of $13 for how good they were. We really enjoyed the hint of coconut in their Major Tom (their take on the old fashioned). The food looked good as it came out to other tables and had a nice array of vegan options. Looking forward to trying this place again on maybe a slower evening but I can definitely see how this would make for a great date spot given its sensual vibe.

    Cuuuuuute spot for drinks and/or dinner! They have a sneaky fully vegan menu and honestly probably some of the best vegan food I've had in Portland so far. Love the vibe of the place and fun wine glasses! Cute outdoor space too.

    Cesar salad

    I might change this to 5 star - my only reason it's not right now is because I don't know how to gauge the ambiance because we were the first customers of the day. I love the spooky haunted mansion goth aesthetic. Super fun. The menus are cute, the drinks are well thought out, unique, and creative. I got the baby doll head cocktail - spawn of satan. Love my little baby head. The food is all vegan - right up my alley. The cheesesteak is so good!! It's wet and tasty would for sure get that again. The sandwiches are all from Dingers deli. They are filling and hearty. The server was nice and helpful, we were his first customers Overall this is a great place for cute craft cocktails or a vegan date.

    I love the aesthetic/design/menus(!!) here. Everything is very pleasing. The food could be better, but the drinks have always been tasty & the atmosphere is charming.

    So Cool!

    The Uncanny is amazing! It looks like you're walking into a haunted house, and in the bathroom, they have a mirror that makes you look like a ghost! The bar itself is very cool, the kind of place you want to hang out. The people who work are there are super nice, friendly, and accommodating. There's plenty of outdoor seating in front and to the side. There's even a fireplace out front for cold days. As of the summer 2024, they have been collabing with Grass Fed PDX and Dinger's Deli to serve vegan lunch 11am-4pm Thurs-Sun and vegan dinner 4pm-1am everyday. The cheezsteak hoagie I ordered for lunch was SO GOOD. You must go here if you haven't been. So so good.

    Lots of indoor and outdoor seating options. The drinks are creative and tasty, but are on the pricey side. The menu is relatively small which I liked. The three of us all ordered different drinks and tried one another's. Happy that we checked it out and checked it off the list. Not a place I'd come back to though.

    Devil  In Disguise . Awesome
    Walter V.

    Not a fan personally of the vegan aspect of the menu, but the atmosphere I loved, along with the music (Tasty moody house electronic when I was there). Service was good and the house drinks are interesting and very good

    the outside is so cool
    Morgan H.

    Have been to The Uncanny several times and it's always exactly what I want for happy hour or a night out. Bar hopping on Mississippi always means a stop by for fries and drinks. The servers are always super friendly and service is good no mater how busy they've been. Also - such a great vibe! The bathrooms are so cool, their outdoor seating is fun and heated, and inside is great (even though I usually end up sitting outside).

    Does the kitchen close early?

    Do they have all-gender bathrooms?

    There are 2 bathrooms, and I took a picture of the bathroom door because I liked the door knocker and there's nothing on the door that specifies gender.

    Genuinely my favorite brewery in Portland (which is really saying something). Beers are spectacular…read moreand the staff is excellent. I love the space as well, though if you're looking for somewhere for a quiet conversation and welcoming pastels this is NOT your spot. I wish we could bring the kids to hang out with us on the patio at least, but Portland permitting is weird AF. Love the merch, love the tap lists, love the events, love the cooler; what more can I say? To top it all off they have El Viejon serving some of the best mexican food anywhere in Portland right in the joint! I've yet to try a single dish that's not delicious and many are absolute favorites. Get a cali burrito and call it a day; you'll be set! Sam et al; you guys are amazing and we really appreciate you! I genuinely only wish I had more time to come spend enjoying Brujos.

    Brujos is a hidden gem in NW/slabtown that everyone should try at least once…read more They just completed an interior renovation of the bar, and damn, is it ever a cool design and space. I am a big fan of the indoor/outdoor flow for the space, especially on nice weather afternoons like we have had recently. Outdoor seating is limited, so be prepared to sit inside. Interior seating is not the most comfortable, with former church bleachers that are quite bouncy or large and hard game of thrones-like high chairs. The team is super friendly and will send you to the food station or the bar depending on your needs, and, with the good quality Mexican cuisine on service, you'll want a taco or two. The brewery specializes in Hazy/IPAs, to come expecting to enjoy these PNW basics. I swapped between them and non-alcoholic options since hazies are not my favorite but everyone I was with loved them. The restrooms are clean and there are plenty of bike stands to make this a car-free journey.

    If efficiency and good beer had a very cool, well-designed child, it would be Breakside Brewery…read moreSlabtown. This place somehow manages to feel laid-back and dialed-in at the same time. The standout feature for me was the QR code ordering system: scan, order, and close out your tab whenever you're ready, all from your phone. In a busy restaurant, this feels less like a gimmick and more like a small act of genius. No awkward eye contact trying to flag someone down, no waiting to pay while mentally calculating how close you are to just leaving cash and hoping for the best. That said, if you're not in the mood to embrace your phone as your server, the traditional route is still there. You can walk up to the bar or catch one of the servers floating around. It's a smart setup that solves the "we're busy and maybe a little understaffed" problem without making it your problem. Food-wise, I went with the meatball sub (on special). Handmade pork and beef meatballs, clearly done by someone who knows what they're doing, and the kind of sandwich that requires both commitment and a few extra napkins. No regrets. I paired it with the Breakside Pilsner, which landed comfortably on the higher end of "good"Not life-changing, but absolutely something you'd order again without hesitation, especially if you're settling in for a while. Overall, it's a place that feels like it understands how people actually want to eat and drink right now. Efficient without being cold, flexible without being chaotic, and just cool enough to make you feel like you picked the right spot.
