Blitz Ladd

I’ve been coming to this place occasionally for years and it consistently has the worst service in Portland. As of writing this, the soccer game I came here to watch ended 22 minutes ago. I’ve had an empty beer and a 20 dollar bill in front of me since the end of the game. There are 6 people in this entire restaurant and it’s a Monday afternoon. The bartender has been talking to regulars and the kitchen cook and has not once come over to check on me. This isn’t an outlier. It happens literally every time I come here. I’ve been a bartender for 6 years now and am the first to excuse slow service. But this place is unacceptable. I’ve literally even walked out of here because I waited 20 minutes for the bartender to address me. And that was a slow weekday afternoon. I come back every few months to give this place another chance and I literally am upset with myself that I gave this place more of my money. Maybe if the manager wasn’t a loud obnoxious incompetent jerkoff who would prefer to watch a sports game than make sure his staff is working well this place would be run better. Stop giving blitz your money. You can watch sports at a place and still have staff pay attention to you

One of my favorite bars in this neighborhood. They have ping pong tables/​shuffle board/​darts and a small arcade in the back.
The have a full bar and tons of beer rotating on tap.
Sundays they have NFL ticket, and the entire bar/​restaurant has TV’s everywhere, plus projectors.

After three tries, beer is still arriving as if it had sat on a park picnic table for an hour in July. Clearly their lines are jacked and they have no effs to give.

Excellent place to watch the Blazers and march madness. Food is pretty good. The totchos are awesome

Great place to watch a game. Service can be hit or miss depending on the time you go. Food is so-​so bar food. The Pretzels are probably the best thing I’ve tried from here, excellent spicy mustard. Solid beer selection as well.
Nice neighborhood sports bar if you need a place to go with a lot of people to catch a game.

Above average sports bar. Some drink specials are cheap, but size is small.
Cute gals on Trailblazer night. Food is average, parking is tough. It took foreeeeeeever to settle our check.

Super disappointed beer was flat, service was rude, and blazer game was not playing in the back room… When you clearly have a packed bar wanting to watch the blazer game maybe you should make those requests happen. Especially at the bar where talkin ball is filmed from.:(

This place is great to grab a beer and some wings while watching the game. But if you’re not into that this place smells like stale beer and is quite loud. My main qualm with this place is just the overwhelming bro-​ish atmosphere of this place. The staff are fairly friendly and willing to offer advice on the beer selection.

Excellent customer service. I’m a huge College basketball fan. Staff was very accommodating on multiple occasions when my team’s games were broadcast on obscure networks. Staff Aaron, Justine, & Dana in particular have been awesome. Cool, casual atmosphere and not too crowded.

Usually always enjoy my experiences at the Blitz’s around Portland, but this was my first, and probably last time, at Blitz Ladd.
Came to watch the Blazers game, just like everyone else, and for some odd reason Blitz decided to only have one waiter. He had to cover 15 – 20 tables. After giving us a coke for no reason, 3 reminders, and 40 minutes passing, I finally got a water.
I ordered a Salad with an emphasis on NO AVOCADO, and with honey mustard. When I finally got my salad an hour later, it came with Bleu Cheese and Avocado everywhere. The waiter immediately realized the mistake, apologized, but then advised «I should just eat it, because they’re so backed up it’d take forever for them to remake it.»
Felt really bad for the lovely old couple behind us, that ordered before us, and took 90+ minutes just to get their sandwiches.
Don’t fully blame the waiter since he was a chicken with his head cut off sprinting to all of the tables, but it definitely ruined my experience and Blitz’s reputation in my books.

I love this place for watching sports! Lots of screens and any seat is good. Great beer selection. Food is not why you go there. It gets very busy during big games. Don’t be in a hurry, the staff are stretched thin but they are very nice! Clean bathrooms. Go during Blazer games! Really fun.

We came here with a few friends to watch a UFC PPV. Not having any idea what we were getting ourselves into since we had just moved to Portland a week before. After watching UFC PPVs at Buffalo Wild Wings so many times I consider this a level up.
Yes, it is a sports bar. So yes, you have to expect there to be a certain amount of bro culture. Like the handful of drunk guys behind us that thought the women’s fight were boring and kept complaining. But because it is a sports bar there were huge screens and a decent view no matter where you looked. Which is awesome when you are one of a ton of people trying to watch the same event.
We all thought the food was pretty good. It’s pub food so if you are looking for fine cuisine this is probably not your place for date night. But we were looking to eat junk food while watching feats of human awesomeness. Might I recommend the nachos? They came out on a freaking pizza platter and were great for munching on during the event.
I think we will for sure be coming back here to watch fights.

A «typical» sports bar with decent food, good beer options, comfy seating options (booths, bar seating, and even couches!), and an awesome amount of TVs with several games on to see from anywhere that you are seated. This place is HUGE so its super helpful that the staff comes to your table to serve both food and beer so that you don’t have to push and shove to get it up at the bar. The indoor fit pit is an awesome bonus!

good place to catch some sports. huge beer selection. monitors everywhere, so no matter where you sit — you can see a couple of key games.
was busy when I was there last, service took ages. Fun crowd.
One bartender (?), a handful of waitstaff on the floor.
I prefer the one in the Pearl a bit better, for the ambiance only.
food is average to good. Burgers and Nachos. The place is huge, so many different sections to sit in. Good for groups.

This is the sports bar to top all sports bars. TONS of taps, food menu covers any game watching nosh you might desire and the servcie was really great.
We had about 20 at our table, arriving at staggered timed — all with their own tabs going. The were prompt, accurate and friendly — even making drink suggestions.
Steigel on tap — YEAH! The server recommended and shot of grapefruit vodka to kick it up — AWSEOME SAUCE!
TVs everywhere — so whatever game you want is on one of them. Seating to accommodate whatever your deal is — single at the bar, a big group at tables, couches, recliners, benches…
If your not so much into the games — wander to the back — skee ball, pin ball, shuffle board tables, table tennis, pool — you name — they got it.
The bathrooms were clean and updated — a nice unexpected surprise.

The food here is pretty good. From the name of the place you might think it’s a divey sports bar but when you go inside it looks pretty upscale and comfortable. Leather couches all over the place, pool tables, etc. I only had a wrap, but this wrap put the ones I get at a major chain restaurant to shame. Service was quick and friendly too.

One of the biggest bars sports bar that I have been that are not owned by a big brand name.
Service: excellent service from the entire staff. Jaime server us tonight great job
Food: excellent food for a bar the hot wing are very tasty.
Beer: excellent selection of beer on tap

This ia a GIANT sports bar. And I mean giant! it looks like a really big warehouse fromthe outside, and that’s probably what it was before they remodeled and turned it into a bar.
They not only have TVs everywhere, they have a giant area of couches, tables, pool tables, darts, ping pong, and much more! Even a few tables out front to sit outside. There is an area for everyone.
They have waiters come to you at your tables which is nice, you don’t have to try to order at the super crowded bar. They come out to you! They also remember you and work really hard.
I tried the tatchos, tater tot nachos, SO GOOD. Super fatty, definitely, but really really good! I highly recommend it. I’m not even a huge fan of tater tots but they were really good. I also recommend sharing them with at least 1 other person.
They have a large selection of beers and drinks, just like any other sports bar.
They do have a happy hour, and I’m sorry I didn’t catch when or what exactly it is!
Overall, a giant sports bar. Not the cleanest… but good for sports and hanging out.

Blitz Ladd is the bar we frequent the most, not because it’s the best place around but because we get consistently decent food, beer, and service, and because it’s the best place in Portland to watch a game. The couches are comfortable and make for a good opportunity to socialize with other fans.
As far as the food goes, we are really into the soft pretzel with mustard. To be honest, it just tastes like soft and warm pizza dough, but there’s something oddly addicting about it. It’s nothing fancy but it’s tasty. I’ve gotten a few of their salads and the hummus wrap, which I always add chicken to, and my guy is a fan of the club sandwich. Beer-​wise, they have a solid selection. I have no complaints about this place.

When you think sports bar you think a large venue with tons of tv’s broadcasting every sports game being aired at the time. This place should serve good bar food with cold beers flowing all night long.
This places matches most of those needs for any sports fan. What a nice layout for watching sports. The atmosphere when my friends and I where here was pretty good. Tons of flat screens to watch all the games on and they even had classic arcade games for an added distraction. As we sat down to watch our Home teams playoff game, we had to grab a waitresses attention. Not a great first impression but worth noting because the customer service seems to be a continuous issue according to the Unilocal reviews.
Fortunately for us the service actually got better from that point on. Our waitress was a very pleasant young lady who catered to our large groups needs. She never stayed away to long and continuously checked in on us as the night went on. We must’ve been there for over 4 hours. The drinks were strong and the food had that great Portland twist on you’re standard comfort bar foods. We ordered the wings, tatchos (tater tots dressed like nachos) the spinach dip and a plethora of other tasty dishes.
Overall our experience was good. The interior could use some updating and the defiantly need to diversify what sports to show on the tv’s. At times they would play the same games throughout the bar, despite there being other multiple games on different channels. But with solid serves and good bar food, it’s worth trying out again when in Portland.
