Jackie's

"Inner Southeast’s Century Bar was a one-of-a-kind place to watch a game, with polished wood raised rows of seats that felt somewhere between a stadium and a small Midwestern liberal arts classroom. Century sadly closed for good in 2021, but the space was only dormant for a few months as the team behind Jackie’s prepared to open a “sports bar for people who don’t love the vibe of traditional sports bars,” so to speak. The food menu includes dishes like quesabirria tacos and plant-based tenders, while the cocktail menu could hold its own against celebrated non-sports bars nearby. Something to note: Sometimes Jackie’s can accrue a line, particularly late on weekend evenings." - Dianne de Guzman, Rebecca Roland, Eater Staff

"Jackie’s prefers to call itself a “bar with sports” rather than a sports bar, but it’s still not letting its customers miss a moment of a game, not when it can line its sprawling, heated upper patio areas with TVs and greenery. On Friday nights, the vibe gets far clubbier, with lines down the block and DJs spinning on the patio. The patios aren’t as elevated as others in town, but still provide a nice view of the surrounding neighborhood for diners to enjoy while they knock back tequila drinks and house birria nachos." - Eater Staff

"Jackie’s, operated by the team behind Two Wrongs, will open in the former Century space in Southeast Portland. The venue will offer weekend brunch, nightly dinner service, and a bar program led by Tony Contreras, focusing on draft cocktails and low-proof drinks. The food menu will include large format shareable dishes and personal items, and the space will retain some elements of Century while introducing a more laid-back vibe." - Alex Frane
