About this activity
Lively with restaurants and nightlife today, 100 years ago the Historic Old Town District was home to many of Portland’s less savory establishments – opium dens, brothels and underground speakeasy’s.
In the 1800’s, locals steered clear of Portland’s “North End” as it was notoriously dangerous and a hotbed for kidnapping. On this tour, you’ll venture underground into the Shanghai Tunnels and see where unknowing sailors were ruthlessly abducted. This rampant kidnapping earned Portland the reputation as one of the most dangerous port cities in the Western hemisphere. Our expert tour guides regale you with stores about these infamous criminals, their victims and the ghost’s they’ve left behind.
This tour includes an exclusive 20-minute visit into one of Portland’s original Shanghai Tunnels. Please note you will encounter dirt/mud floors and a dark, enclosed space during this brief underground experience. This eerie tunnel system has been featured on the TV show “Ghost Adventures” and is known as one of Portland’s most haunted places.
The Haunted Pub Tour is roughly 2.5 hours. The tour stops at 2 local pubs and includes 6 local craft beer samples. It has been rated as ‘mildly' spooky and is a 50:50 mixture of history and hauntings.

Arrived at Keli Pub for tour - had to go downstairs in the cigar room to meet up with rest of tour group! Very smokey, no windows - just a fan . If you are sensitive to smoke - not the place to be. Had 4 tastings of beer before we finally went outside. started to get headache from smoke Mykaela was our guide, very knowledgeble of the haunts of Portland , and a good sense of humor ! Walked around the nearby streets to the haunted ones and she told the story behind each haunt. Ended up at Old Town Pizzeria, which also is haunted - ordered pizza which they burnt - but didn't charge us and their famous garlic knots with garlic beer dip - but they ran out of dip ! So disappointing on the food , but other than the smokey cigar room - good tour

Good information on the seedy side of Portland. Neat to hear the history of Portland.
