What players say

River Pool and Sports Bar was the only bar in Portland out of ten that would host a watch party for the LoL Finals and for that alone, this place has my respect.

★★★★☆ Nathan, Nov 2025

Classic dive bar in a tough neighborhood. It’s crazy that the bartenders have so much patience with the day to day crowd. Food is also way above average! I didn’t like an interaction today with the busy bartender and an impatient “manager”.
