BarFly's Review of Blitz Bar

This straightforward sports bar is low on the ambience - it looks like an oddly unlived-in frat house - but now that beer signs are an unusual sight in the Pearl, it's notable for its exception to the chichi code. Prices are low, there are plenty of games both on screen, and for play (shuffleboard, anyone?), and the service is A+.

Reader Reviews of Blitz Bar
So fun
The place was packed this weekend. I love the bartenders. Drinks were stiff and cheap with no smoking. Loved it. Shannon was so accommodating downstairs. We will be back for sure. Highly recommended.

Chill ambiance
I found Blitz a few months ago and my roommate and I go in at least a few times a week. It's close to my work on NW 23rd. The bartenders are all super nice and fun to look at and it just has a good vibe. I freakin' love their billy goat hazelnut salad and the drinks are cheaper than other places in the Pearl. It's a lot like a dive bar, but not, and the people are really cool.

Faux Dive Bar
This Place cracks me up. Someone determined they needed a new dive bar in the pearl, so here comes blitz. With beer signs, pool tables, and particle board walls it sure looks like it... The many things that a dive bar is preferable is missing... expensive drinks, no smoking, and general charm.

Its the kinda new dive bar that could only be in the pearl :)

Gem of a Sports Bar
VictornupI'm not socially awkward. If you want a great crowd of "regular guys and gals", this is the place to go in the Pearl. It's a bit less intense in douche-baggery than Henry's, and the atmosphere is MILES ABOVE Lowbrow. I recommend it for a solid weekend band (Tony Smiley was playing the two nights I was there), HUGE sports area (pool, shuffleboard, HDTV sports) and even a quieter booth section to avoid the loud sports crowd. Food is standard, and drinks range from inexpensive to top shelf. What you really get out of this is a chill, HUGE, "fraternity basement" feel.

late afternoon burgers
I avoided this place at first due to its location (Pearl) as well as its general appearance of snootiness (the outside reeks of every other snooty retail /restaraunt / gallery in the area).

And while finding out that I'm actually in a sports bar doesn't usually inspire enthusiasm-- my visit was chill enough that the ragin' sports-tubes might as well have not existed at all. It was a weekday afternoon, post-lunch-rush, and the waitress said they'd been swamped. But at the moment I was the only person in the bar, and this alone made it a pretty awesome reprieve from most other affordable lunch options in the 'hood.

I'll take a $6 burger any day over a whored-out $8 one, and what Blitz served up for the former price was pretty decent. I'll be going back, but I'll sure-as-shit make sure it's not playoff season.
