SPORTS BARS: Across the river
Chris Browarski The Clackamas Print
Like the nearby Oregon City location, Lil ’ Coops in West Linn is right across the river in the Willamette neighborhood. Sports fans frequenting the town over the bridge have the option to enjoy a
cozier setting than the larger OC restaurant. Just like its OC counterpart, West Linn Lil ’ Cooperstown boasts sports games on the TVs and rare collectible memorabilia on the walls.

Nicoli’s Grill and Sports
Bar: 17880 S.W. McEwan
Rd. Lake Oswego
Newly renovated Nicoli’s
features a bowling alley and
arcade making’ it fun spot
for the whole family. The
restaurant opened in the spot of
the former Players/Gametime
location earlier this year and
has given the old facility a
fresh new feel.
“I heard about the place
on the radio and thought my
boys would like it,” said Rick
Peartree. “It’s got good food
and the kids have a fun time.”
The menu is not extensive
but does have some unique
burger options such as the Slap
Shot which features a fried
egg and grilled ham. Nicoli’s
offers many beers on tap and
in bottles to appeal to many
tastes. What is unique are the
four wines offered on tap for
those interested in something
fruitier.
Many screens show the
games from around the country
but unfortunately there is
no audio being played apart
from the bigger match ups.’
This isn’t a terrible ‘ issue for
larger groups as chatter can
overshadow game sound but
for couples and single patrons
a different bar might be a
better option.
Good service, good food
and good games make for a lot
of good times at Nicoli’s Grill
and Sports Bar.
Lil’ Cooperstown- 1817
Willamette Falls Dr, West
Linn
Lil’ Cooperstown is a chain
with a location in Oregon City.
Heading across the bridge and
taking Willamette Falls Dr.
South, just past 10th street,
brings you to a smaller version
th e
nam e
a llu d e s
to
the baseball hall of fame, the
bar accommodates fans of all
sports and is a relaxing spot to
watch a game.
A long bar is the main
seating area but smaller tables
line the back wall. TV screens
are abundant for the smaller
seating capacity and offer good
viewing angles for most seats.
While the world series brought
out many of West Linn’s Red
Sox fans, L il’ Cooperstown
is a perfect place to catch
a Blazers game and have a
conversation without shouting
over the noise.
We come here a
lot for basketball
games. ”
Michelle Green
LU'Cooperstown patron
“We come here a lot for
basketball games,” said patron
Michelle Greene. “My husband
and his friends were here for
almost all of March Madness
last year.”
Happy hour runs three to 6
p.m. and then again from 9 p.m.
to close. A well equipped bar
offers a good selection of beers
and liquor and the kitchen has
a full menu going beyond just
burgers and sandwiches and
features specialty entrees such
as Parmasean Panko-Crusted
Rockfish and Meatloaf.
