Kooks

Our first time at Kooks! 1. Food is delicious. We got their fries (comes with Kooks Spice, SO good omg), chips, and wings! Blue cheese is delicious. Came on a mellow night, food came out super fast. 2. Our server at the bar was Simon, he is so nice and attentive. Very personable. 3. Very spacious. Which we love, especially for a sports bar. Lots of screens with different games playing (right now there’s more than 4), free pool upstairs, nice lighting (dark, moody, in a good way), and disco balls!

Awesome spot to watch any games with a massive amount of TVs and a giant center TV. Bartenders are awesome especially Matt (super personable!). Show up to shoot some pool, play bar games, or watch something it won’t disappoint.

Food is good. Service is great. A good place to stop in to watch Monday night football with family and friends - lots of screens that are easy to see. Really good choice of beers, full cocktail bar, and if you are like me and enjoy a really, really good classic Negroni, ask bartender Simon! He makes one of the best ones.

I don’t leave reviews often but these are quite literally the nastiest wings I’ve ever had. All due respect. Love to see the carrots are clearly fresh and such but I took one bite of that chicken and that was all I needed. Very icky wings and that was intended to be my dinner 🥲

I didn't try the food, but the service was great. Awesome open space, patio deck, upstairs bar area too. They have many TV's with all the sports. 1 HUGE SCREEN also.

Clearly a Browns bar but as a Steelers fan I love this bar and go here almost every weekend for the games! Love the bartenders as they are always incredibly friendly and accommodating. I get here early and they are happy to put the Steelers games on even if the Browns are playing. Go here to catch the football games!

Locals Only! No happy people. No fun. No free pool on Tuesday. Bartenders are annoyingly friendly. Prices suspiciously reasonable. Meaty Wants. Dos Hermanos pretzels, like what?! 5 Stars, would drink again.

Five stars across the board. MonBuckee’s fulla High Life’s hit different during a Bills/Broncs playoff game and Kooks delivered.

We went for Opening Day without realizing it was a new bar - there had been another sports bar in this location previously. The food was not just bar food. It was GOOD food! The hummus paste and the falafel sandwich were outstanding! Owners were serving behind the bar and very friendly. The kind of people whose small business you want to support. We didn't check out the mezzanine until we were about to leave, but that is definitely the place to be. Darts, pool, full view of the big screen, just a generally cool place to be. Definitely our new spot.

We were looking for a sports bar to watch March madness and didn't even know this bar opened up! 10/10!!!

I get it's the super bowl and I get it's busy, but a two hour wait for MOZZERELLA STICKS, just to find out it's 86'd is absurd. Good priced beers doesn't make up for the lack of customer service. Luckily, we got a refund and I had to damn near had to beg the lower bar staff to give us food we were waiting 2 hours for. I work in a restaurant so i understand busy, but this was ridiculous. Bartenders are standing around wasting time so busy isn't even the problem. Glad this is the service i'm getting visiting Portland from San Diego. The only reason this place gets stars is because it's the super bowl, and the beers are reasonably priced (for San Diego standards).

Went in around 1pm on a whim while walking by. Apparently, it's grand opening weekend. The person that served me happened to be one of the owners/partners. I believe his name was Chris, but don't quote me on that. Regardless, he was extremely friendly, down to earth, and attentive. The place was spacious, plenty of TVs for sports, with cool alt/indie music playing too for a vibe that's not just college bro sports bars. There were a couple of pinball machines downstairs and Buck Hunter upstairs, along with pool tables and darts and another bar. I ordered a cheap can of beer (plenty of $3-4 options and a good selection of draft beers) and a smashburger with cheese and chips (only $12!). The food was surprisingly on point! The burger was juicy, had plenty of pickles and sauce, and had a delicious soft bun that didn't moosh out. As someone who hates the trend of smashburgers that are fried to a crisp, this hit the spot right between boring thin patty and burnt beef crisps. If their opening weekend is any indication of what's to come, this place is well worth visiting to watch a game, have a drink, and grab a bite.
