Bucket Brigade is a Sports Bar With an Enclosed, Hidden Patio

Bonus: You can still enjoy it in winter when the heater is turned on.

A staple of Foster-Powell since 1985, Bucket Brigade (8012 SE Powell Blvd., 503-774-8953, bucketbrigadesportsbar.com, 9am-1am) is a proudly divey sports bar with low-slung ceilings, a tap list that ranges from craft to swill and décor consisting of random beer schwag and dusty antiques. The colorful clientele congregates on the enclosed patio, which is heated during the cold months, sharing stories, cigarettes and sometimes even a dance to whatever’s on the jukebox.
