"The Houston Blacklight is a celebrated psychedelic bar in Portland, known for its creative cocktails like lime leaf margaritas and popping boba slushies. It also offers a menu of genre-bending mashups such as French onion ramen and mapo tofu fries. The bar is located in a zany space filled with bright upholstery and eclectic neon wallpaper, situated in the former Night Light Lounge space on Southeast Clinton. Despite its acclaim and awards, including the Eater Award for Best New Bar and being listed by Bon Appetit as one of the best new bars in the country, the bar is closing due to financial unsustainability." - Brenna Houck
