PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – A cocktail-centric bar in Southeast Portland has announced plans to shutter in 2025.
In a Tuesday Instagram post, Deadshot Founder Adam Robinson announced the bar’s closure.
“We had a good run,” Robinson wrote. “There’s no easy way to say this: after more than seven years on our little corner of SE Portland, Deadshot will be closing its doors at the end of 2025.”
“This decision wasn’t made lightly. The truth is simple—sales just aren’t there anymore, while costs keep climbing. Between inflation, the state of the economy, and our ‘fearless leadership’ in DC, the restaurant business hasn’t exactly been set up to thrive. One big repair bill could sink us, and we’d rather bow out on our own terms than wait for the floor to drop out,” Robinson explained.
The post went on to announce Deadshot’s last “regular” service will be Saturday, November 8.
During the closure, Robinson said his team will prep for their pop-up bar Miracle and will carry it forward at a new location in 2026.
“Is this a bummer? Absolutely,” Robinson continued. “But Deadshot was never just a bar—it’s been an idea, a place where creativity ran wild, where strangers became regulars, and where I got to live out my dream of opening a bar in Portland.”
“To every guest who sat at the bar, to every staff member who poured their time and energy into this place, and to every industry friend we’ve collaborated with over the years—thank you. You made Deadshot what it is, and I’ll always be grateful,” Robinson wrote. “Deadshot may be closing, but the spirit of it isn’t going anywhere.”
While maintaining the spirit of Deadshot, the bar founder is asking the community to help the SE 11th Ave. business end on a high note.
“Let’s blow the roof off these last two months,” Robinson wrote. “Pack the bar, drain the bottles, eat the kitchen out of food, and help us go out in style.”
