Cheerful Bullpen is a pub in southwest Portland's Goose Hollow neighborhood, across from Providence Park.

[3] According to Eater Portland's Erin DeJesus, "the bar embraces NFL all the time, with a recurring Monday Night Football bingo game".

[6] In his 2011 review for Willamette Week, Aaron Mesh wrote: "this sports bar's cozy couch nooks become a kind of Goose Hollow rec room for partisans of the San Francisco Giants or the Washington Huskies, depending on the night.

The most reliable contingent, however, is the Buffalo Bills Backers, the most Sisyphean of fan bases and therefore also the most lovable.

Their loud Sunday-morning revival meetings are fueled by corned-beef hash, coffee and $5 Bloody Marys; the Bullpen has a rather astoundingly wide menu, including all-you-can-eat penne pasta for $6.95 on Saturdays.
