Sad Valley

Found this place driving by with a friend. What a pleasant surprise. The decor is great. Haunted mansion rave vibes. The food was amazing!! The salad could be a little bigger but the flavor was phenomenal. The burger was decent and flavorful. The cocktails were a but small. All in all the small portions of food and bevrage were my only gripe. But the rest made up for it so will be coming back again soon.

The perfect bar if you’re looking to go to a disco funeral set in the 1980’s. Decor and ambiance were extremely committed to the bit. Good drinks - love the devils bargain - a mini high life and shot for $8 is definitely a deal. The burger was nice - lots of bun and arugula compared to other ratios, but still tasted good. We sat inside, but they have some outdoor seating as well. Bartender was nice and helpful.

Loved the vibe. Loved the decor. Bartender was kind. Drinks were good. For a small place they really utilize the space really well so there's plenty of room and places to sit.

Okay, so im just now leaving this joint. The bartender was great. The whole vibe and decor were mesmerizing and creative. The food and drinks were fast and delicious. Can't believe I've just discovered this spot. Will be returning

I can't rate any of their bar snacks, but I will happily update upon my return. Their drinks are proper, and the service is better than average for Portland (your mileage may vary). The styling and vibe are absolutely on point, from the funereal arrangement in the corner over the bolstered booth, to the inverted casket and funeral flower arrangements overhead, over to the framed paintings depicting various afterlife-inspired moments.

I came here for my spouse's birthday. The bar crew were super on top of coordinating the birthday cake I had brought in the afternoon prior and were super discreet about it, brought it with ice cream and made sure that would be fine before doing it. they were really great with the service, the food was A-MA-ZING. And the vibes from the decoration to the music to the bar tenders are unmatched.

The bar has a unique vibe and likely the reason most people visit. The menu is well curated and adds to the energy around "sad valley". However, if you pay attention to details, you'll notice the discrepancy in prices for a cheeseburger w/fries vs ordering them separate ($16 vs $9+$6). Word to the wise- save the $7 or $6 and do without the fries, they were sub-par. The makeover the bar received appears great under the mood lighting, but at its core it could be another diner.
