    The Portland cocktail bar is for real sport aficionados. Toast a win or drown your sorrows in craft cocktails like the Black Russian, with Stumptown cold-brewed coffee and a ginger beer made in-house. Read more

    All tables are community tables that seat 12+....based on how close you want to be. can be packed and cleared out quickly after a game.

    The Blazer fan favorite is back with a new menu. Order anything with chili on it and you can't lose, and don't forget to get a free pop-a-shot or skee-ball game in at halftime.

    Great place to hang out and watch the game. If you need a snack to share the nachos are top notch!

    A great communal sports bar. Huge projection screen for the highlight game of the day, with many other screens for anything else. Tasty food. Recommended.

    With an enormous projection screen, competent staff, and a surprisingly robust food menu, it's hard to think of a sports bar with more positive energy than this place.

    Try the "Tails & Trotters" Pork French Dip - The pork is tender, the Au jus is awesome, and the bead sops it up great!

    Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. It feels like a rowdy high school gym. Watch the game on the wall and drink a 20-ounce "imperial pint" of Yakima Glory Dark Ale. Read more

    Best place in Portland to watch a Blazer's game besides the Rose Garden - but get there early or you won't have a seat!

    Limited menu, but surprisingly good food for a pub. Try the wings, burgers, and avocado sandwich.

    Great spot to watch your favorite college or pro team! Plus, you can play pop-a-shot basketball during half-time!

    Great bar. Spacious. The wings were mediocre at best, go for something else on the menu.

    This place is great. BUT they definitely need to do something about their food menu. I just wanted some fries but couldn't order them separate without ordering a burger. The food sucks.

    The talent behind this new Lloyd District sports bar—the same guys who did Ace Hotel, Clyde Common, and Olympic Provisions—could probably give the White House a successful relaunch. Read more
