    Both Deschutes and HUB (both locations) have TVs and show sporting events. They're not "sports bars" though, so only a couple TVs, but I'd imagine they'll put on whatever you request if nobody objects. Beermongers might be showing NCAA games as well. You're out of luck at the other places. There's a basketball-oriented bar called Spirit of 77 (http://www.spiritof77bar.com/) that will definitely be showing all the games, so that might be an option for you as well.

    I haven't been impressed so far. Their staple pale ale is awful. It's cloudy and tastes like banana.

    Just my opinion, but I prefer Claudia's on Hawthorne to Henry's. The atmosphere/vibe is better, they get a more interesting clientle, the food is better (IMHO), they have plenty of TV's, and a decent selection of craft beer. Granted, the beer list is not as extensive as what you'll find at Henry's, but they usually have HUB IPA, Walking Man Knuckedragger, something from terminal gravity, etc. (figure on around 10 or so craft options). Prices there are a LOT cheaper then what you'll pay at Henry's as well, and they have complimentary wifi (which granted, is not that big of a deal in Portland).

    They also sell pitchers and half picthers of beer, which these days I think is pretty sweet.

    Any of the Blitz bars typically have decent tap lineups and lots of TVs...

    I love how at one of the locations you'll see old sweaty men with Prefontaine's, then at the other you'll see OSU/UO and college kids, then at the other you'll see a mix of college and older. Totally different vibes.
