The Independent Sports Bar & Grill

We had a large group mixer here on a Friday night. The service was excellent - thank you Alfie! I found the Peachy Keen drink you recommended to be quite peachy.
The place is spacious, with lots of TVs. The ambiance is casual and cozy though the space is big.
Food was good, had the Mac n cheese. It's white cheddar, well done, not heavy.
Will definitely be back, especially for future group events!

If you are not a white, cis, het man or in a group with that majority, you will be discriminated against. There was not a single black person there, which should've tipped me off. And there weren't any groups of non-cis men.

My friends and I sat down & were immediately ignored by the bartender. After 15min, we didn't even get the waters we asked for. They were busy, so we shrugged it off. I asked a server to change one of the 3 TVs near us playing the same game.
The manager came over with a remote, so I asked curiously if it was possible bc I was eager to watch my Alma mater play. He proceeded to condescend to me (explaining how TVs work) and as he walked away put up his hands in front of me and said, "Just let me do my job." Our group (of 6 women) was quiet and at no point was rude, demanding nor outwardly upset - though we should've been.

This was 20min after we sat down and the bartender finally came over to get our orders. I calmly mentioned that the manager was quite rude. The bartender said, "Well you're welcome to tell him that bc I'm not going to." Then, unprompted, he said," If you don't like it you can leave."
So we did.

Don't comment unless you have something constructive or kind to add. Curious to see if management responds considerately to this post.

Visiting Portland- stumbled upon this sports var to watch the Barca and Valencia game- ordered their hous burger "smashburger" it was pretty juicy and tasty- they have a good selection of beers. I got the total Rekolsh. Good beer.

A good sports bar to go to when in the downtown Portland area. They have plenty of TV playing sports. We came to watch a game and had some happy hour. The service is pretty good for being how busy they were. The happy hour food is decent. I did enjoy their smash burger and fries.

Such a great find. Visiting from CA, L. A & stumbled on this cool spot to watch Sunday night football. The food here is soo good! Perfect spot for our last night in Oregon. I absolutely loved & recommend the Whiskey blue burger! It's the perfect everything, soo good! You know it's good when you don't reach to add anything to the food. Great time here, staff is great! Oregon is awesome!

Great place to catch up with friends and the game! Friendly staff and nice assortment of beverage options plus food.

A great sports bar centrally located in Downtown Portland -- we stopped by on a whim on NFL Sunday since they were close to our hotel, and are so glad that we did. The place was packed to the brim and they had TVs playing every single game -- the atmosphere was a ton of fun, and there were lots of fans for every team. I was a fan of their beer menu, which highlighted some local breweries on tap. While they initially said standing room only, we were able to find a seat at the bar later on.

The servers are really attentive and kind -- they made a point to ask us which game we wanted and even switched on the 9ers game at a TV that was more convenient for me to watch! If you're in the area or visiting, definitely the place to be for sports watch parties!

We came here specifically to watch the NBA Finals, and even though Miami lost, our food and beverages were on point!

Get The Blazer Margarita! It's that spicy Margarita from scratch.

The Wedge Salad! (Must add the grilled Chicken)

The Olympian (minus the bun GF style) add extra Arugula and add tomato

Happy Hour Turkey Club and naked Chicken wings with Ranch! If you love ranch, you'll appreciate the ranch here. It tastes homemade.

Our Bartenders were great and on top of everything. The hostess was hella cool too!

Do not sleep on this spot!

Great place. Good food. Relaxed. Will return. Great beer selection. No rush. Spaced out.
(Came here pre concert at the Roseland Theater.)

Feels like a great late night spot to get sloppy while watching the game.

We walked into this place in the middle of the day to catch some baseball, and the police felt like it was still hung over from the night before. We ended up getting some food and some beer to just sit and relax after a long day of walking on our vacation to Portland. This isn't a lively during the day place that I would frequent. I think it could benefit from some open windows and some outdoors. But if I was hanging out with my adult friends watching the game and trying to drink, this seems like it could be a fun late night place.

We got some chicken tenders and they were fried to a crisp and pretty dry. Again, more of a place for fun drinking and less for gourmet food.
