Today, Portland’s catchphrase is “Keep Portland Weird,” but the hauntings and ghost sightings that plague the city are far stranger than its quirky coffee shops and eclectic residents. We’ll take you to a classic arcade bar where you’ll learn about the mysterious arcade game that inspired the dystopian novel “Ready Player One,” and some think may have been invented by an evil mastermind.
You’ll learn about several Portland establishments’ relationship to the Shanghai tunnels, where seedy characters partook in gambling, drugs, prostitution, kidnapping, and bootlegging. Finish up at Kelly’s Olympian Bar, one of the oldest continuously-operating bars in Portland, where friendly spirits lurk in the basement that supposedly housed a speakeasy during Prohibition.
Kells Irish Pub
Though it shares the same moniker as the Seattle location, Kells Irish Pub’s past is far more sinister here in the City of Roses. Built in 1889, the building sits upon the infamously haunted Shanghai Tunnels. And if that’s not harrowing enough, in 1911, a fire broke out near the pub that killed a beloved firefighter. Sip on one of their craft beers while hearing about the spirits that have made the pub their permanent haunt.
Kelly’s Olympian
Kelly’s may have opened after the Shanghai scheme was uncovered, but that doesn’t mean the tunnels didn’t serve a purpose. In the 1920s, bootlegging took over the tunnels, and gangsters paid off cops to turn a blind eye to the illegal consumption occurring in the dry city. The old speakeasy can be seen in Kelly’s Olympian’s basement, and the ghosts of the bar’s sinful past can be felt in the very seats you’ll sit in on this haunted pub crawl of Portland.
Shanghai Tunnels
No ghost tour would be complete without a visit to the darkest location in Portland, where most of the city’s most heinous crimes occurred. Enjoy a few cocktails before we arrive at the Shanghai Tunnels, the final destination for several unfortunate souls. Learn about the buildings unlucky enough to sit atop them and the sorrowful spirits that are unable to leave this cursed place.
