"Sports bars in the region tend to come in two varieties: big and modern, or tiny and old-school. Katie O’Brien’s defies that dichotomy with abundant vintage Portland character and tons of space to carve out a niche with fellow fans. The full bar is lined with decadent boardroom-style leather rolling chairs, complete with armrests. Add a deep tap list, an open pool table, all-day breakfast, and frequent live music, and it’s no secret why Katie O’Brien’s remains a neighborhood favorite." - Rebecca Roland, Nathan Williams, Alex Frane
