"The Houston Blacklight and its psychedelic aesthetic have taken Portland by storm since opening in July 2023. Operated by industry veterans and partners in life, Mariah and Thomas Pisha-Duffly, the bar leans into the joie de vivre vibes with bright beaded curtains, colorful wallpaper, and pinball machines. For cocktails, beverage director Em Warden developed a creative menu featuring drinks like the Desperado, a rum Negroni, and the Twin Flame, a spicy margarita. Non-alcoholic options include a house horchata and a non-alcoholic spicy margarita. In keeping with the whimsical spirit of the bar, alcoholic slushies and jello shots are also available." - Rebecca Roland, Eater Staff
