Poor caleb33

by jerdavid

From caleb33:

Walked in to watch Boston vs. Yankees. Place had 2- 25" tv's. I finally walked out after sitting for 10 minutes with the other 5 people in the place and not being asked what I wanted to drink. Bullpen was a sorry excuse for a sport's bar.

You can't even spell "sports bar!" No wonder no one talked to you!

Sports fans and old-timers chat it up at this low-key sports bar, right by PGE Park.

In Short
A tiny, somewhat ramshackle storefront hides a long, comfortable room and an expansive, shady back patio. Regulars knock back cans of watery domestics, while a younger crowd files in before and after games at PGE Park just across the street. The menu offers burgers and sandwiches, like the roasted turkey, but the staff lays proud claim to the Mac Dog, a polish sausage with a choice of mustard, sauerkraut, chili and other dressings.

Good neighborhood dive bar

by agent_orange

The editorial review states that this is good location for bar hoppers looking for a late bite to eat, but I disagree. Our group strolled in around 11PM on a Friday night looking for late-nite eats only to find the kitchen had just closed. The cheap beers helped us to forget our disappointment though. This is a good stop if you're looking for one last beer on your way home. This place is definitely a dive bar complete with video poker, pool tables, a pinball machine, and of course the local regulars. The Bullpen is very close to PGE and the MAX line so I'm looking forward to checking this place out during baseball season.

I'm giving the food rating a 1, but only because the kitchen was closed.

• Pros: Cheap beers, Close to PGE, MAX
• Cons: Smoking
