"Whether it’s Blazers vs. Lakers, Thorns vs. Wave, or Ducks vs. Huskies, Spirit of 77 — named for the first (and so far, only) year the Trail Blazers won an NBA championship — is one of the liveliest spots in town. With an expansive beer-hall setup filled with tongue-in-cheek retro touches, it comes with large, flat-screen TVs, a projection screen, and pop-a-shot basketball. The food menu touts responsibly sourced chicken for its wings and beef for its burgers." - Alex Frane, Nathan Williams, Rebecca Roland
