Hoodoo Antiques

Love this eclectic shop. Mike, the owner, is friendly, knowledgable, helpful. From historic beauty parlor machines fashioned into whimsical lamps, to paintings by local artists and vintage signs, there’s something here for everyone! Highly recommend.

Hoodoo is the perfect name for this incredibly eccentric little gem! Not only was there a plethora of odds. peculiars, and quirkies, there was just some amazingly cool stuff! One could, and did in this case, spend hours browsing, touching, and chanelling in this inviting little store. On top of the charm of the shop, I must mention Mike, the owner, who handpicks each and every item in the store. Not only is he remarkably knowledgeable about each and every item, he is one of the most welcoming and amiable people I have ever met. Seriously, his wealth of information and insight was so refreshing that we could have easily spent the whole afternoon chatting with him. His prices are very fair and he is always in the market for new additions. Worth checking out for sure!

Is there supposed to be more than one room? Because I walked the entire length of the store, and only found the single main room open. It was the weekend, about an hour before they closed, and I was in and out before close. That’s sort of unprecedented for me. Anyone that knows me pretty well knows that I love antique stores. I’ve bought glasses, yearbooks, photographs, knick knacks, records, clothes, and all sorts of odd and pretty things from antique stores (everything short of furniture – which I don’t need). And I left here empty handed! Perhaps it was an off week, who knows. I just really wasn’t all that impressed with the selection. I know part of Portland’s charm is that they have a bazillion small businesses, and I get that quaint little cramped thing that a lot of antique places have, but after reading all the glowing reviews I just expected more, I guess.
I guess, the crux of the matter is that I was expecting something akin to the Highland Row antiques place where I live, that is two stories (their front room is about the size of Hoodoo’s) and 8 separate rooms with anything and everything you could ever hope to want. Furniture, oddities, taxidermy, clothes, records, vintage machines, suitcases, record players, medical instruments, cookbooks. On average, I spend 2.5−4 hours there.
I don’t know, maybe this is the sort of place you go to and you have to meticulously comb through everything to find something that strikes your fancy. Meandering around the store didn’t provide much entertainment. So I guess it was okay. Would I come back? Sure. Antique stores are constantly refreshing inventory, and just because nothing struck my fancy then doesn’t mean it wouldn’t the next time I come by.

From Los Angeles and decided to check out this wonderful shop. The owner chatted with us for awhile and was extremely friendly. He has incredible treasures in the store. I highly recommend visiting and welcoming one of his treasures into your life.

Odd and funky repourposing house with lots of clever times. Friendly affable owner. But it’s small, too small.
But defiantly worth a stop in the area and not afraid to dodge the homeless and down trodden.

Friendlist owner, such a beautiful store.

I was so happy to come across this hidden gem just around the corner from the Max station. The owner has a great eye and cool collection. I can’t wait to go back.

A friend recommended this shop to me, and I’m so happy she did. After a quick stop in and I had all of my Christmas shopping taken care of! This is not your typical antique shop. There is everything creepy to beautiful, medical and industrial, huge and small. EVERYTHING was so unique and interesting. Plus the owner was very warm and friendly (and also super open to haggling down prices). If you’re in Old Town — don’t miss this! And if you’re not, its worth the traffic… you’ll be glad you did.

With a name like Hoodoo I was expecting something a little different, but I still had a good experience. Nothing is really priced, but the owner will be more than happy to help you out. He didn’t even have a problem with me taking photos of everything. I bought a giant light bulb for 5.00. I have no idea why… Owner is super nice and I had a fun experience. Try it for something a little different to do

I am adding more stars to my review because the owner took the time to write me a message explaining his pricing in the store. I decided that i will try his shop again in the future because like i told him i can really appreciate the care he has put into picking items to sell in his store.

Hoodoo is a truly unique adventure! Crafted lighting and other treasures not seen in your average antique or home décor store. Items are not priced, but it is the perfect opportunity to strike up a conversation with the owner who is very knowledgeable and kind. Not only will you be pleasantly surprised by the reasonable prices, you will likely learn some history of the items before buying conversation pieces for your home.

Hands down the BEST antique store you’ll ever go to! Amazing, TRULY AMAZING FINDS! The owner is wonderful, sweet, and always cheerful. If your in the market for eye popping home décor that will make mouths drop, you must visit this shop! Parking is at times tricky, but worth it!!!

Hoodoo Antiques & Design was voted one of Portland’s Top 10 Best antique stores and I can see why! I’m blown away that this modest store is filled with the most incredible things I’ve seen in years. Each time I walked around I saw three more things I needed! This place is well curated and is most likely the most reasonably priced store of it’s kind in Portland! The owner Mike is personable and knowledgeable. I plan to make a habit of shopping here. In the meantime, I’ve noticed that he posts pictures of new inventory on his Hoodoo page of Facebook. It’s easiest to go to his website:

I’ve been wondering into Hoodoo Antiques for years, and I always find the most unusual and wonderful pieces. If you like one of a kinds and wish to find the truly unique, then this is the only place to go. Awesome place!

I could have spent half the day loitering around looking at the marvels in this store. I experienced sensory overload. It’s so worth checking out!

Hoodoo is not your usual second hand/​vintage/​antique store. I recommend a stop in for anyone who loves materials for their textures and components. When I visited this last weekend, there were light fixtures made of unusual components and an assortment of «wow!» objects. There were old locks and a dish full of keys. My friend spotted a lizard skin purse in excellent condition.
If you are looking for focal points that will start a conversation, I think this is a place to explore.

Amazing things invented by the owner that are made with awesome, unique, old things. If I had a giant house and lots of money I would buy everything in his store and decorate with it. In love!

Great store. I’m amazed there are only two reviews! I got a wonderful 30s desk phone with the three-​digit exchange still handwritten in the center of the dial. Love the sound it makes. And only $ 30!

Hoodoo is a wonderful antiques store located in the Old Town district of Portland. Mike has done a fantastic job hand-​picking every item in his store. The collection is equal parts small, curious wonders and beautiful, large furniture. There is artwork as well. This is my favorite antiques store in town — it has something for everyone!
FYI: it is generally open Thursday-​Sunday, other days by appointment.

Hoodoo has been here for 10 years, and still no one has bothered to write a review on Unilocal.Sad. Mike (the owner) is as friendly and gregarious as they come, and his store is practically overflowing with awesome stuff, from industrial to glam to mission to antique and everything in between. It’s a small store, maybe 1000 square feet, but it would take you at least an hour to actually see and consider all the stuff that’s packed into it. Hours are somewhat erratic, so it’s best to call before making a special trip, but the trip is WELL worth it!
