"Poison’s Rainbow, the funky, colorful bar created by Isaac Brock of Modest Mouse, has permanently closed after less than two years of operation. It was initially home to Ranch Pizza but later offered a creative food menu with items like 'peanut butter and jelly wings.' Despite efforts to attract customers with DJs and a vibrant ambiance, the bar struggled with visibility issues and low sales." - Alex Frane
"Peanut butter and jelly wings, ham-and-pineapple sandwiches, and buffalo hummus are now rolling out of the kitchen once populated by Ranch Pizza. Poison’s Rainbow, the funky bar from Modest Mouse frontman Isaac Brock, now has a menu that fully fits his out-of-left-field vibe, including lots of out-there bar snacks he thought up himself." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"Poison’s Rainbow, opened by Isaac Brock with co-owners Matt Brown and Jessica Williams, started on March 12. It has received mixed reviews on Yelp. Ranch Pizza, a pop-up in residence, has been praised, with Matt E. calling it "maybe the best in Portland." However, the bar's eclectic style has been described as "kinda junky" and "strange." Tessa R. noted the interior seemed like a collection of random knick-knacks." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"It’s been a few months since the news that Modest Mouse singer Isaac Brock would be opening a Northeast Portland bar — and now it looks like that bar, Poison’s Rainbow, is gearing up for service any moment now. As reported last summer, the bar is opening on NE 28th Avenue, not far from the Laurelhurst theater, in a space that used to be dive bar Red Flag. It’s set to feature decor all designed by Brock — the singer and guitarist isn’t doing it alone though, as he’s working with new-ish restaurant group Title Bout, which was part-founded by the creator of Bunk Sandwiches and Pizza Jerk. Speaking of pizza, in November, the world learned that hit Sicilian-style pizzaiolos Pizza Ranch would be doing food at Poison’s Rainbow, too." - Tim Forster
"Poison’s Rainbow, an upcoming bar from Modest Mouse frontman Isaac Brock, will feature pizzas from Ranch Pizza. Expected to open in early spring, the bar will serve smaller pizzas and will be a 21+ venue." - Tim Forster
