Drinkers sip cocktails named for John Waters characters under a mounted coffin at this memento mori of a North Killingsworth bar. Paintings depicting images of rapture and grief hang on the walls, while David Lynch’s Dune plays on a TV by the bar. Drinks incorporate fruity flavors like passionfruit and apricot, as well as nostalgic spirits like Hpnotiq.

The previous tenants of this North Mississippi cocktail lounge — who also produced local horror movie favorite Green Room — transformed this Victorian into an understated, black-and-red macabre fantasy. While Psychic Bar is no more, the watering hole in its place, the Uncanny, kept the original bar’s atmosphere alive, retaining the red neon lighting and black banquettes. For Halloween, the bar is also in costume, serving cocktails in babydoll heads and incorporating trick-or-treating staples into its drink recipes.

This North Portland music venue, bar, and hotel is home to its fair share of ghost stories, many dating back to its Prohibition-era tunnels for illegal alcohol distribution; several rumors involve the city’s history of kidnappings, as well as the murder of a sex worker in the hotel rooms upstairs. These days, the venue is under the care of local chain McMenamins, serving the brand’s spirits (get it?) and popular Cajun tots.

Perhaps the city’s best-known haunted locale, this Northwest Davis brewery has long been featured in tours of Old Town’s underground pathways, which involve post-tour beer tastings. The brewery, which sits in the former lobby of the 19th-century Merchant Hotel, is allegedly home to a ghost named Nina, donning a black dress and spotted wandering the basement’s halls.

This dive-y, subterranean bar sits within a section of the Portland Underground, hosting post-hardcore and punk bands underneath the streets of Old Town. Any given visit may involve a fetish drag show, live music, and/or a full-on mosh pit, as well as pinball, pool, and stiff drinks.

What was once the Southeast Grand venue Lovecraft is now the horror-themed Coffin Club, one of the city’s few spots where goths can dance to darkwave and Siouxsie Sioux lookalikes blend in to the crowd. Portraits of Alice Cooper hang among the skeletons and chandeliers, and the club consistently hosts dark industrial, dream wave, and EBM acts and DJs. Check out the calendar for upcoming acts.

Garnering a waitlist almost every night, Central Catholic kids and longtime Portlanders still flock to this converted craftsman coffeeshop and dessert bar, with its mysteriously moving tables, hidden mannequins, and surplus of string lights. The goofy lore of the coffeeshop’s haunting only adds to the fun, as groups of teens share raspberry fools and pots of tea.

The name says it all: Hosting an upsetting collection of deeply haunted dolls and paintings, Creepy’s provides the city with Killer Klowns from Outer Space vibes year-round. The bar menu involves cocktails with names like La Bruja and Dark Arts, DJs spin new wave, and projector screen movie nights include cult classics like Phenomena and Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla. Those living with coulrophobia should steer clear.
