    Chill neighborhood sports bar. Great prices. A nice addition to Mississippi. The mezzanine is a neat space for larger groups.

    We didn't check out the mezzanine until we were about to leave, but that is definitely the place to be.

    Love this vintage bar dedicated to Portland's only NBA championship in history. Even better... the…read moreBlazers give them a reason to rename it. I like the sound of Spirit of '27 in fact. The staff here is incredibly polite and friendly. Service is fast and easy. The place is generally very clean and it's a great atmosphere to watch a game on the multitude of screens. There are usually around a dozen beers on tap... the food menu is pretty limited and mostly just light bites. Parking is problematic because of the location. Definitely won't leave any valuables visible in this area. Otherwise, come for the beer and stay for the chance to take on your friends in a free arcade-style game of hoops!

    This was a fun sports bar to stop at before the Blazers game…read more Food: We ordered the Caesar salad, pretzel, and nachos. The salad was one of my all time favorites - really delivered on the flavors. The pretzel was just a classic bar food, nothing special. Nachos, more or less the same, not as impressed but hit the bar food mark. I got the Safety Daisy drink which was really good. Menu: There were many vegetarian and vegan options to choose from and were noted as such on the menu which I really appreciate. Service: Service was attentive even when they were busy, we were served pretty quickly. Ambiance: Loved the "Spirit of 77" sign, which really added to the vibe. They had a few basketball hoops which was fun. I also enjoyed that they are a kid friendly place. One large screen and many small screens with live sports. Value: Definitely pricy for what you are receiving but I guess expected for being an establishment close to the arena.

    Hoplandia just opened up as a place to grab a beer and perhaps watch a sports game. If you live…read morenearby this is a cool spot to do that. The place feels like a neighborhood bar where you'd go to grab a beer and watch a game, maybe just hang out for an hour or two. They are still in the process of opening and so expect changes in the next few months. In the meantime, they have panini sandwiches than will run you $10 and complimentary popcorn. Right now they have less than 10 beers on tap (2 being N/A), but the offering should grow. - these run $4 to $6 for a pint. A small curated selection of drinks and beer are available for purchase to go (for there or to go) as well. For now they have the cheapest red bulls in all of Portland, only $2 for a cold red bull if you need a pickup at some point. The to-go options are still growing but, their prices are reasonable.

    I was super stoked about this place. They even got a porter on tap, I was ready to come back…read moreeveryday, haha! One evening I stopped in to watch the Trailblazers game. One of the owners came in and said some weird shit about not all of the televisions syncing properly. He turn off the game I was watching, and put on the football game (which all of the other tvs already had on). Even the people next to me said, "weren't you watching that game"? It was super rude. I've only been back one time since. It really soured my experience. Bummer. There are some great options in the neighborhood, so I'm spending my money and my time elsewhere now.
