Cheerful Tortoise

Happy Hour: Monday-Friday 3-6pm $1.99 Appetizers, $0.50 off Well and Drafts

This low-rent PSU hangout boasts more TVs than any other bar in the state: 41 by our count. That may not be much of a recommendation, but this isn’t some soulless corporate sports bar—no, the Tortoise is a neighborhood joint where karaoke-singing students and Keno-obsessed construction workers bump elbows over pitchers of Bud and giant chili dogs. The Vikings are king here, so get ready for a spillover crowd after games* From Willamette Week by James Pitkin
