26 Best Sports Bars in Salem

“Whether you want to have a good drink, eat elevated bar food, play pool/darts or dance your butt off, Mykie’s is the place to be. The bartenders (especially Aubree, Meghan and of course Mykie) make you feel welcomed and give you good banter. 10/10 recommend for any person looking for their next go to spot.“

“thank you Wendi for a perfect haircut. I love it.“

“I've been to this place many times. And the bartenders are always on it. As well as give genuine conversation and not scripted remarks. That alone can make a not so good place seem wonderful. As for li'l Sammies though, it has other amenities as well. Drinks made proper, good fried food as well as sandwiches, and a couple machines set away from the main gaming room if you want to socialize with friends at the bar while playing. Overall A+“

“I found this place in Salem after my fiancé moved up there for work almost a year ago. The food is great and reasonably priced. My favorite is the wimpy burger basket but the Chinese food is amazing!!!!! Ice cold draft beers which are served in frozen glasses. All the staff are amazing and very attentive to the customers. Kaylliee is absolute Rockstar, she knows what she's doing and takes great care of all her customers. If your ever in the area, check it out.“

“I love the name and idea. Don't u?“

“Totally cool Hispanic bar which plays modern English music sometimes too. People go there to drink and gamble so it's the perfect spot for both. I've never asked for food so I can't comment on that. Still though probably my favorite place in town due to the upbeat and friendly atmosphere.“

“Highly recommended! So good! Excellent service.“

“This is the place to be for UFC! 🫡“

“Good hangout place & family dining, friendly staff, best perfect margarita, good food. Food is becoming more spicy. What happened to you can always add ? But once breaded, or pico is made to spicy you cannot take it out. I'm sensitive to it and some of the foods I ate prior I cannot eat anymore.“

“Lots of fun. Plan to be a regular!!!😃😎👍“

“Went here last month to celebrate a family member turning 21. It was a super good time and the bartender was super nice and helpful and made me a drink that he's never made before. It was really awesome sitting at the bar and being able to watch sports up close. The food was pretty darn good. I would also recommend this place because the price wasn't half bad either.

Parking: Plenty of spots to park in a free decent size lot“

“great place to hangout! has 2 pool tables and a wide variety of liquor. friendly locals as well. don't be afraid to come in (:“

“I had a late lunch at Applebee's in Salem, Oregon today 12/9/25. The server's name was Anya. She has a great smile, she's kind, personable, attentive, yet not overbearing. She warned me that the Cajun pasta dish I was ordering may be too spicy for some people, which I appreciated. The dish came in an appropriate amount of time. The meal was hot, and it was spicy, yet for me the meal was just right, and well prepared. Server Anya asked if I wanted my coffee filled, which I did and she brought me a whole new fresh cup. At the end Anya thanked me for coming in, told me about a burger special being ran during the holidays and invited me back. Wonderful service and an excellent meal. I will definately be back!“

“Love this neighborhood bar“

“Nacho's & onion rings for dinner. I've never had bad food there, and the staff is friendly & attentive!“

“Went in on Valentines day and the bartender was great! Kept all the customers taken care of and was very pleasant to talk to. With a bartender like her, you can be sure I will be back!“

“Since Luckys on commercial has been closed due to covid been going here and love it like I love the other!!!“

“But in this place twice in last month both times I hit pretty good on the poker machines how to spend a little bit of money to get it but still my boyfriend however didnt do very well, I hit a flush at Max bet within the fever I got seven flushes so seven more fevers there's only two that I tried that I did not get but for Max bet and only playing 250 out not a very good payout I would expect a little bit more but that's just Oregon lottery for you but other than that the people who work there are very nice and it's pretty laid back and welcoming I guess you could say“

“this is a hidden gem. I love the options on tap and doing a beer flight. sitting by the fire was so nice. I would come back.“

“As a displaced Southerner, I approach BBQ in the PNW with caution. Two bites into the pork belly and I was instantly a ten-year-old again eating the food my father and uncles worked for days to prepare. The Vault is what happens when Down Home Comfort Food meets haute cuisine - homemade, fresh, extremely generous portions of authentic, perfectly prepared fare. The BBQ is phenomenal and the sides are delicious as well. Corn was still snappy, the fries were hot even delivered, and the tacos are phenomenally flavorful without being loaded down with spice. Try the jalapeno poppers which are *obviously* hand made! The burgers are juicy and freshly-made to grilling perfection, and the Alabama white sauce will knock your socks off. The prices are ridiculously low, as I would happily pay twice the asking for the generous portions and extremely high quality of ingredients ... not to mention the obvious love, skill, and pride that go into the food. Bonus: no Styrofoam containers here, but reusable aluminum pans that just need a quick wash packed skillfully to avoid using too much container. And where else can you play cribbage while enjoying your food and superbly crafted cocktails?“

“Shelly is amazing!!!!! Best ever! Best mixologist in town“

“The service was amazing. The music selection was great, and the vibe was off the hook. The food was good. The veggie sub is better than jersey Mike's. The meatball sub my kids loved. I had the chicken cheese steak. Also, the waffle fries are great, and the tots were not overcooked but crisp ?. Not all places can nail perfectly cooked tots. I do think the fry sauce could use something more. I think a small restaurant like this is crucial to having great sauces. They should come up with some signature sauces.

Vegetarian options: Wonderful veggie sub

Kid-friendliness: The staff was super friendly to my children“

“Took our toddler out for a family dinner and had a great experience at this Applebees, thanks in large part to our server, Spencer. Spencer was so thoughtful about and interactive with the little one which made dining out easy and enjoyable! We were thankful!“
