Description
The Uncanny is a bar on Mississippi Avenue,[3] in the North Portland part of the Boise neighborhood. It has a patio, and the interior has red neon lighting and black banquettes.[4]
Among drinks are the Vieux Carré (coconut Scotch whisky and tepache sherry) the Sazerac (Träkál, a Patagonian spirit, and chanterelle), and the Devil in Disguise, which has sotol, fernet, and rum.
History
The Uncanny opened in 2023,[5] [6] in the space that previously housed Psychic Bar and, earlier, Muddy's Coffeehouse.
For Halloween, The Uncanny has hosted a pop-up menu called "The House of Unholy".[7] 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.[8]
The bar hosted vegan food residencies in 2024.[9]
Reception
Portland Monthly has described The Uncanny as "a cocktail bar fit for a David Lynch set".[10]
