BarFly's Review of Home Turf Sports Bar
Yet another Tigard find...only we haven't made it there. So have your way with our review system. Really work it in.
Is Home Turf a dive? Yes. Are some of the regulars blue collar morons? Also yes. But any place that offers $1.25 PBR's during happy hour isnt going to resemble The Ritz.
Home Turf is a laid back place to hang out, play pool (free every sunday and monday nights after happy hour i believe), and eat some tasty stereotypical bar food. I tend to go at night during the weekends and have yet to meet any rude "women who weigh over 2 bills". (Classy comment by the way. I can safely bet that YOU'RE still single.)
There are actually a lot of young, good looking groups of guys and girls that come in for darts and foosball on the weekends. The staff is always super nice and attentive (with the exception of one guy). I have stopped by once or twice during the day midweek and it seems more empty than crammed full of obnoxious regulars. My friends and I have been coming on and off for years and more or less had nothing short of an awesome time. Pretty much every comment I've read about this place seems completely different than what I've experienced. Drinks are cheap and surprisingly stiff. The menu is good but nothing fancy. All and all I would take this bar for what it is, just a low key place to meet up with friends.
Here I am at H.T. last wknd, having a fine time, when one of their idiot I-think-I-own-this-bar regulars busts in,drunk and high, and challenges anyone who's talked to his trashy girlfriend to a fight. No one wants her, dickweed. Just like no one wanted your wideload ex-wife. Don't think we don't know why H.T. regulars insist on parking out back. So they can deal and get high out of their cars. A lot of people avoid H.T. because they don't want to be around their regulars. And the regulars don't respect the bar. They pull shit that could get em shut down every day. A bar near them just got shuttered due to fighting, and this worthy regular tries to start fights? No respect. Quit catering to these jerkoffs! If they won't stop putting your business in jeopardy, stop letting them hang out at your business. Don't you care if you lose your license? They don't, obviously.
The majority of servers and bartenders are actually a decent crew, although the gals seem to be a little bit off their rocker. The place has that TV trivia thing so you end up with a bunch of guys who play it just about everyday. The prices are dirt cheap, with PBR being 1.25 in happy hour. The food... well... there's a taco bell across the street. On the plus side, they just got the MLB package and can boast being the only bar in Tigard (Sportspage is technically in Beaverton) to have it. Only problem is they have to train the bartenders that it's okay to turn the tv's to baseball and not everyone gives a fuck about Portland teams.
That being said... Dennis is the one who puts $40+ in the jukebox everyday and plays the SAME shitty music everyday. It's enough to make me bring earplugs when I stop by.
My first impression of this place was like every 12 year old boys bedroom. I mean come on this shithole of a place can use some kind of an upgrade Who ever owns this place should invest a few cents from the bottles he collects on the side of the road. The people that hang out at this place are like people I would s ee at a freak show fat broads and orange vested road crew people seem to litter this establishment bringing their retarded social skills along wit h them it seems that women weighing over 2 bills feel free to wear belly shirts and short shorts after seeing this trainwreck of a shithole I sure as hell was not going to try their food. I lost my appetite and got out of there. As I left I heard one of the mutant regulars shout "Hey Dennis I need anot her shot of jager" As Dennis grabbed his diminutive crotch and told his gu y friend to smell his dirty ditch digging hands. Very charming I shall never return
Great, this place got a slot. Oh well, it's not like the majority of their clientele reads or anything. Take a craptastic place in a stripmall with a gun store 2 doors down as a good omen, lay down carpet that looks like it was stolen from a 5 year old boy's bedroom, (little soccer balls and baseball bats! How festive!) Throw in some TV's and pool tables and see how it attracts every fucktard in Tigard. I know 5 people who've gotten their cars broken into while visiting this place. The regulars are a bunch of dirtbags who think they run the place, my favorite kind of people. If you are a girl who isn't butt ugly expect to catch shit from the dumpy female regulars who will assume you're just there to cramp their style. The only purpose this place serves is that you can drink here while your car is being worked on in Firestone.And if a really fat female in skin tight clothes flips you any guff, by all means call her out on it.
