The Cheerful Tortoise Sports Bar and Grill

One of Portland's favorite Sports Bars!

  • Drinks
  • Sports
  • Food

The Cheerful Tortoise is one of Portland's oldest bars. During the last 13 years we have turned this college bar into one of Portland Best Sports Bars around. Even though it is still staggering distance from Portland State University and it is consequently a favorite of students. The Cheerful Tortoise has everything you need as a sports fan. We now have a non- smoking room that has 6 plasma TV's so you can enjoy our establishment with out all the smoke. The Cheerful Tortoise offers cheap drinks and inexpensive food. "All Sports, all the Time!"

Editorial Review for The Cheerful Tortoise Sports Bar and Grill – by Christie Scotty

In Short
Just-legal folks from nearby Portland State University come here for cheap drinks and sports watching. Loads of TVs broadcast major-league sports, while a digital jukebox plays a variety of tunes. Patrons haphazardly pack into what feels like a party in a shed; the wood-shingled interior hosting an explosion of beer companies' promotional signs. A full bar serves house cocktails (the Purple Hooter is a grown-up's Kool-Aid), but there's also a bevy of draft beers.

Back in my drinking days I would come down to the tortoise and meet up with fellow drinkers for a cheap bloody mary at nearly nest to nothing... The drinks are cheap and the service is always good. And the happy hour is good too for a tasty cheap bite to eat.

Thank you for the feedback, it's alway nice to hear things we are doing good or bad. Just a heads up we also have $4 Bloody Marys from 7am to 11am Mon-Friday. And when Football starts back up we will have the Bloody Mary Bar set up so you can spice up your bloody marys as much as you like. Thanks again for the visit. See you soon!
