The Uncanny is a bar in Portland, Oregon. Established in 2023, it was named one of the best new bars in the U.S. by Esquire in 2024.[1][2]

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.[2]

The Uncanny serves 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 has 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]

Reception

Portland Monthly has described The Uncanny as "a cocktail bar fit for a David Lynch set".[11] Brenna Houck included the business in Eater Portland's 2025 list of the city's eighteen best vegan and vegetarian restaurants.[5]
