At first glance, Gil's Speakeasy—sunken below an apartment complex without much fanfare or even a sign—doesn't seem like an ideal destination to watch a Blazers game. But step inside and you quickly realize two things: It has a couch that's always empty and pints of PBR that go for $1 after tipoff. Speakeasy is basically a perfect neighborhood bar, with free shuffleboard in one corner, pool in the other, and plenty of boisterous regulars to keep things interesting.
What to drink: $5 pitchers of PBR.
Happy hour: $1 PBR, $3 well drinks; 3-6 pm Monday-Friday.
Entertainment: Shuffleboard, pool, TV.
