Open early for breakfast, this low key pizza spot and sports bar rocks walls completely lined with flatscreens for all-day sports viewing. Besides the titular pizza, the bar serves a breakfast menu of omelets and pancakes, plus the obligatory wings, nachos, and the like that any sports bar worth its flat-screens must have.

Sporting the historic sign from Gresham’s iconic Satellite Restaurant, Satellite Tavern is one of the city’s newest bars to grab a mid-game drink. The industrial dining room features a number of TVs over its hardwood walls and concrete floors, and even the back patio has a few TVs so as not to miss a touchdown or run. Even the menu leans into the sports theme, with stadium staples like wings, nachos, burgers, and Little Smokies simmered in barbecue sauce.

Though Alberta offers a number of sports bars to visit, The Station remains the top spot for its six-foot projector screens and dedication to sports of all varieties, from college football to hockey. The menu includes pizzas from a triple-level oven, as well as salads and sandwiches, while a generous draft list, solid cocktail menu, and a few wines by the glass make up the drink menu.

A more upscale take on a classic sports bar, The Fields does away with the neon bar signs and team posters for large, window-lined walls and industrial chic vibes. The menu follows suit, offering elevated takes on sports bar staples, both in quality and price, like burgers, chicken strips, and tacos. It also offers an appreciable cocktail list, something not every sports bar in town can claim. Though the bar screens all the major and local games, it is Beaver territory, so Ducks beware.

A gem of sports bars in the Pearl District, On Deck has plenty of screens for catching the game and a knockout rooftop patio to soak in a touch of sun during commercial breaks. For earlier weekend games, there’s a pretty solid brunch, including a surefire wake-up concoction in the form of a habanero-infused bloody mary.

A bar that’s just as much about the games on the floor as the games on the TV, Silver Dollar offers ping pong, pool, darts, hoops, and video poker to its visitors. The many screens around the brewpub-style space show all sorts of games regularly, but the main focus is on Portland Winterhawks games, which are always screened live for hockey fans. The pizza itself isn’t mind-blowing, but slices are reliable, cheap, and good for soaking up some draught beers and cheap well drinks.

One of downtown Portland’s sports bar mainstays, The Independent has around 20 beers on tap at all times, mostly local, plus fun bar food like hot dogs, sandwiches, hot wings, salads, and a kid’s menu. The family-friendly bar itself is decked out in vintage sports photography, as well numerous screens for different games.

A fancy option in the Buckman neighborhood, Century comes replete with bleacher seating and stadium-style food, from nachos to hand-held tacos — all of which can be made with meat or vegan. When the games are on, the focus is on five banner-like screens that drop from the ceiling, but on weekends the bar is more of a packed club than a place to comfortably watch a game.

Hawthorne is loaded with sports bars, but thanks to its old-school ways, this pub stands out as a destination. Low ceilings and hardwood furniture give it a cozy vibe, and the many televisions stream all kinds of sports. There’s video poker machines aplenty for those wanting to throw some money away, and a basic but reliable menu of burgers, chicken sandwiches, pizzas, and gyros. 

Toffee Club is all about soccer, which works well in a city that’s almost as crazy about its soccer teams as it is its basketball teams. Besides Timbers and Thorns games, the British-themed bar — which is decked out in vintage furniture and dark hardwood — screens all major games, including World Cups, Gold Cup, and Champion Leagues, no matter the time of day. The menu is appropriately English as well, with fish and chips, meat pies, and a Full English breakfast served on weekends. When the games aren’t on, sports fans can recreate their favorite plays on the foosball tables.

With a halo of mounted flat-screens and a roaring indoor fireplace, Ladd Taphouse is a killer spot to relax, watch the game, and devour a heaping platter of nachos or a pizza with an IPA-and-garlic-infused crust. The bar also offers entertainment in the forms of shuffleboard, pool, and arcade games, so even during commercial breaks there’s something fun to do or watch.
