The Old Portland Underground, better known locally as the Shanghai tunnels, is a group of passages in Portland, Oregon, United States, mainly underneath the Old Town Chinatown neighborhood and connecting to the main business section. The tunnels connected the basements of many hotels and taverns to the waterfront of the Willamette River. They were built to move goods from the ships docked on the Willamette to the basement storage areas, allowing businesses to avoid streetcar and train traffic on the streets when delivering their goods. The newspapers of the 19th century document tunnels and secret passages underground. Organized crime was the center of many of these stories. However, many of the more colorful stories claimed for the underground are controversial. Historians have stated that although the tunnels exist and the practice of shanghaiing was sometimes practiced in Portland, as elsewhere, there is no evidence that the tunnels were used for this.In his book The Oregon Shanghaiers, Portland historian Barney Blalock traces the notion that the tunnels were used to shanghai sailors to a series of apocryphal stories that appeared in the newspaper The Oregonian in 1962, and the subsequent popularity of "Shanghai tunnel" tours that began in the 1970s. He says the tours were popular but misled visitors.In 1990, local businessman Bill Naito was quoted in The Oregonian as saying that the tunnels are underneath "Northwest Couch, Davis and Everett streets".The "Shanghai tunnels" are referenced many times in Grimm.

It was described as one of Old Town's first taverns and had standing gigs by local musicians. Sam Pishue was the owner. In 2016, Grant Butler of The Oregonian said, "The restaurant side of the operation was basic seafood and steaks, with a few Cajun touches. But eating was just something to do while waiting for the music to start." Saganaki was also on the menu. A strip club later operated in the space that had housed Jazz de Opus. The jazz club has been credited for "[helping to] build Portland's lasting reputation as a vibrant, eclectic music town". In 2010, Trisha Yearwood said of her "most memorable" meal: "When I was on tour, there was a place we went to in Portland, Oregon, called Jazz de Opus [now closed]. They played music in the front and had dinner in the back. I had one of the best steaks in my life. I like a well-done steak, but I know kitchens hate to make it. But what they did was they baked it for a while before grilling it, so it was completely done but it was tender. It was served over a mound of mashed potatoes, with blue cheese crumbled over it. Truly a well-done steak, and it was thick. It was perfection."
