BarFly's Review of Claudia's
Portland earned its reputation as the worst sport town in America games end early, our sole franchise's forever re-building, and, ya'know, we built this city on anarchists, techies and queer-ish decadents. For decades, Claudia's has kept the faith. Arrive early enough to find a seat NFL Sundays, and it's a sort of heaven ten satellite receivers, full bar, wondrous appetizers, servers attentive to the thirsty while respectfully detached from the penniless fan. Show up twelve hours later for the row of pool tables rented for pennies a serving, microbrews not much more expensive, consoles dedicated to Comedy Central for the dredded late-night regulars and well, best not bring up your fantasy team.
Happy Hours
It's nice to see a place that hasn't changed a bit in 10 years on Hawthorne. I like most of the new fine, but west of 39th there isn't as much of the old.
The staff is always pretty cool, good for pool, the video poker addicts in the crowd, and has many TVs for general sports junkies. They have nice high backed lounging chairs by the bar too.
The food is good to very good. Mixed drinks are generally not their forte however, so you're generally better sticking with beer.
Just thought that the guy that said Portland is the worst sports town in America should be made aware that he's a douchebag. That is all.

This is my favourite bar in Portland and i'm not even remotely interested in the American sports that perpetually adorn the many tv screens behind the bar.The food is excellent pub grub and goes down well with one of the vast array of micro beers on offer.I found the staff to be quite friendly and patient as they endevoured to comprehend our apparently 'strong Australian accents',intoxication and sluring of speech seems to amplify this problem.It has an impressive trophy case and has obviously been a neighbourhood fixture for quite some time.

A memorial to Portland's sports past as witnessed by the showcase of Buckaroos Hockey (circa 1950-60 something). The place to be for major and not-so-major sporting events and Sunday night service industry fun. WNBA fans have fallen on my lap here and I have survived to tell about it!

Claudia's rules. Great waitresses, all the sports you THINK you can handle, the girl's bathroom smells like bubble gum (probably because I'm the only one that ever uses it), and the food -- eat a gyro. Eat it now.
