I went to The Haunting on Sixth pop-up at The Social Spoon last night, and the spooky vibes were honestly unbeatable. They’ve got some really unique drinks on the menu too, so I definitely recommend going and trying a few for yourself!

KEEP PORTLAND WEIRD (WE FOUND THE EVIDENCE)

From alien autopsies and creepy collections to a museum dedicated entirely to vacuum cleaners, Portland has some pretty strange places hiding in plain sight. We rounded up some of our favorite weird museums and attractions around town.
