Description
The Uncanny was a bar on Mississippi Avenue,[3] in the North Portland part of the Boise neighborhood. It had a patio, and the interior had red neon lighting and black banquettes.[4] Among drinks were the Vieux Carré (coconut Scotch whisky and tepache sherry) the Sazerac (Träkál, a Patagonian spirit, and chanterelle), and the Devil in Disguise, which had sotol, fernet, and rum.[2] The Uncanny served vegan food.[5]
History
The Uncanny opened in 2023,[6][7] in the space that previously housed Psychic Bar and, earlier, Muddy's Coffeehouse.[1]
For Halloween, The Uncanny hosted a pop-up menu called "The House of Unholy".[8] Among drinks on the special menu were the Machete Incident (espresso-infused rum, coconut cream, and Campari-soaked strawberry), the Rest in Pieces (cocoa butter-infused rum, peanut butter batter, and chocolate whip), and the non-alcoholic Treatz, which had hibiscus, Sour Patch Kids, pineapple, orgeat, and Pop Rocks.[9]
The bar hosted vegan food residencies in 2024.[10] It closed permanently in May 2026.[11]
Reception
Portland Monthly described The Uncanny as "a cocktail bar fit for a David Lynch set".[12] Brenna Houck included the business in Eater Portland's 2025 list of the city's eighteen best vegan and vegetarian restaurants.[5]
