The Broadway Grill & Brewery — Restaurant in Portland

Well I don't drink or care about organized sports so There's a huge nice bar with nice huge screens everywhere. Yay. But I really go there to play video poker because in the back of the bar there's a pool table room that's huge relatively speaking to where the average Portlandian would envision it felt like to play video poker: a tiny little broom closet where they put the tanks for the soda fountains in a diner or even Denny's in PDX. There's maximum 4 maybe 5 machines. And you never see more than two empty machines so you go play alone or with your bestie and it's rare to find more than 2 people show up to play video poker together. Unless it's a Dottie's or a local mom & pops replica of Dottie's. It's funny how these much money these businesses make and they have full bars and beers on draft and bottles starting at 7am. So I am not sure what time a bar opens. But have u ever seen a bar open at 7am well at Dottie's you can get a jack and coke made very generously in these spots for a low price compared to a bar. And video poker started here in Oregon during the prohibition era when bars were forced to close because they couldn't sell their Product. So the Mayor who was a corrupt gangster bought all these slot machines like u you see in a Vegas Casino which was the only way that ex bar owner could use that space to let people gamble on the machines. Today the machines are owned and leased by Oregon Lottery. None of these spots have a huge room with 10 machines and your not sitting in a cramped soda closet knee to knee with a stranger on each...

Our server was decent despite the huge crowd. The bartender had a horrible attitude and almost ruined a beautiful gathering for the coat drive we attended. No paper napkins on the table. Ick, in the COVID era. The cloth napkins they have are so smooth they fall off your lap onto the floor. The women's restroom 🚻 doesn't have any paper towels either, just a hand blower, meaning most patrons and staff use the restroom, wash their hands then touch a bathroom door handle on the way out. Also gross in the COVID climate. Parking sucks. Too many menus: cocktail menu, breakfast menu, lunch/dinner menu, then a bunch of other flyers on the tables, causes clutter, and who wants to touch a menu that a ton of others have? Hey a QR code or slim the menus down. Not enough servers, so the ones there, are pretty flustered and struggle. Good pizza, water patties for burgers, no bueno, that's why it's just okay to me. $104 dollars for three glasses of 🍷 wine, three entrees, so a bit spendy for the service you get. The bartender is a salty , cranky, rude guy who's way over his depths. Needed a bar back, or another bartender...

This place has a nice sports bar atmosphere but the food and sometimes the service is not the best. Came here 2 days back to back because this was one of the only places that was open during the heat wave and had the same issue with the burger. Two different people on two different days got the grass fed beef burger (Oregon organic), literally first burger on the menu, which clearly states that it has BACON and cheese on it, yet on both days there was no bacon and the waiter’s excuse is always… “well you didn’t ask for bacon”… like why would you have to state that you want bacon when that’s what it says under the item? Then for me I ordered the falafel pita and got the falafel and hummus platter brought out instead. First time I told them that it was not my order and then they brought out ANOTHER one. Didn’t even bother to Say anything because I didn’t want to wait any longer. The second day we came we waited for almost an hour for food and was so frustrated by the time we got our food that we just ate and dipped. I can understand how busy they could of been and can be patient but this place just...
