Front Row Bar & Grill

Not a favorite. Food wasn’t good, staff was not friendly.
I won’t be coming back

I know… I’m giving you a 2??? Even tho last weekend I sucked up a piece of glass in my vodka soda. Luckily I felt it in my mouth. The manager really didn’t seem all that concerned. Apologized and told me that they broke glass in the ice earlier but assured me they cleaned it out several times and had no idea how this little bubba slipped passed them. He gives me his card and tells me that he’s going to give me a pitcher of beer on the house for my troubles. Really? I’m not even drinking beer! Nice to know they took this glass issue so seriously. We would go there after softball games and it was nice — watch sports on a bunch of tvs and get decent bar food. How they treated the glass situation really sucks.
As for the food: Cajun shrimp pasta=the shrimp is actually bay shrimp which I’ve never seen before in shrimp pasta. Just to be clear bay shrimp are those tiny itty-​bitties you usually find in a shrimp louis salad. Calamari=another frozen flash fried treat. The treat part was a joke but if you’re drunk enough the salty taste would pair wonderfully with a beer. Eerr I mean Coors Light. Hmm Unilocal is saying I’m looking pretty epic now so I guess this is it for now. Until next time neighborhood sports bar.

Front Row is just one of those «go tos» you can depend on. I really enjoy this place because the drinks are great and contrary to popular beliefs you can get some really good food past «pub/​bar food» here. Some really nice choices, you should check it out. Great for games and after a Hops game, such a good place to have a drink and grab a bite. We usually stop in her for Football and if we have any work being done at Les Schwab. So much to choose from and the staff is always extra friendly and nice here, even when they are busy. Great «Sports Bar»

Nice location, swell employees and staff. Always friendly. The prices are a bit high, and the tables are a bit to close so it’s hard to navigate on busy nights.

Came during the slow hours and we started with some calamari, which was great. I got chicken fried chicken and it was alright. The gravy was different. My friend got beef and brew and it wasn’t good at all, he ended up eating off of my plate. Our server was very nice and kept our drinks full. I probably wouldn’t come back though.

First lets talk about how nice the atmosphere is. You walk in and you are greeted promptly. The place is clean and i dont just mean they wipe the counter tops off, i mean clean. Its not dark like a catacomb, its well lit and plenty of tvs in view for your sports needs. The food is great. Always pleased with the amount and the prices are good. All of the staff are friendly and very nice. There’s video lottery and a full bar. If you live in the area, chances are you’ve already been here. If you are passing through, check them out, its worth the stop.

The food here is so gross. It pretty much tastes like someone bought a box of something from the frozen food aisle at Safeway and just tossed it in the oven before serving it… So many other great sports bars in Hillsboro/​Beaverton. Save your money.

Nice atmosphere, bartender was friendly, on it… good drinks, all the games I wanted to see… I had nachos (nothing special) and wings…
I give it 4 stars for atmosphere and friendliness.

Came for breakfast on Sunday (they serve until 1) as we were on way to Costco in the area. I had veggie scramble with ham, and pancakes. Hubby had meat & cheese one with hash browns. Everything was well seasoned and tasty. Place is clean, and service was good. I’d come back for sure!
We are not sports fans, but this is the place if you are. Tvs about every 10 feet all showing diff football game. Most folks dressed in fan gear.

My bartender Brie was the most amazing along with Nikki her awesome back up supporting the Seattle Seahawks. Hilarious bartender! Too legit Nikki! Fantastic overall experience! I feel like I’m in TV Land.

It was ok but I had 6 drinks and still remembered to write a review. Soooo… Drinks were fairly weak but they had alot of tv’s. I didn’t have food so I’m not sure about the food menu. It wasn’t bad but it was very slow. More of a local’s spot and not for out of towner’s.

I did a breakfast search on Unilocal this morning hoping for a new place to go close to home. I’m tired of the same ol’ same ol’ places. My part of town is a little challenging.
It’s the burbs.
I thought it was probably futile.
But nooooo! Front Row has breakfast starting at 9am.
Ive been there for lunch a long time ago but not for breakfast. A quick glance at their online menu. Yup. Looked doable.
Woop! Woop!
It was mostly empty when dining companion and I arrived at 10:15. One server, one guy at the bar, one bartender and the two of us. We picked a booth by the window. The tables move for easier access. That’s good.
Becca was our server. She was great! Friendly and efficient! We were a little tight for time but it worked out perfectly. We were out by 11:10. Had to drop my friend off at sunset Max by 11:31. Made it with a few minutes to spare.
There were tvs on everywhere. Sports of all kinds around us. Crossfit is weird man.
Damn, golf on tv is boring. (sorry if that’s your jam).
We had strawberry French toast, shared a side of bacon, and had coffee.
Duh. I always have coffee.
This coffee was adequate. The french toast and whip were just right. My bacon was crispy and not dripping with grease. My only beef was the strawberry compote was cold, in fact parts were icy. I dont want hot strawberries but I dont want icy cold ones either. I’d frankly prefer just fresh strawberry slices rather than cooked but I know thats hard to do. At the least the compote should be at room temp.
So that last is why I give it a strong four stars. It was a good breakfast experience.
Golf on tv is still boring… maybe a bloody mary or something would have helped with that?;)

Great selection of different items, all pretty tasty. Kids items are reasonably priced. Not sure why we don’t come here more often.

Good svc/​food and Adam B was on top of all 13 orders!
Thx, in and out back to work :)

Waited 30 minutes for food to arrive and it was cold. Not lukewarm but cold. Disappointing.

Monday night too slow to feel interested even in the television but good drinks! Visiting from California, have seen better places than this but I think it’s a hot-​spot on weekends :)

Lots of TV’s, decent bloody, and friendly service. There’s not a ton more I want out of a sports bar, especially one out in the wilds of Hillsboro. But… well, okay. There’s more I want. A decent selection of booze, a serviceable menu, comfy, clean, and good TV viewing angles. And Front Row has these things.
I can’t comment on the food. I didn’t eat any. My two Stoli bloody marys clocked in at $ 14, which is a reasonable enough price. There are a ton of TV’s and the staff is generally amenable to putting certain games on certain TV’s, at least when it comes to the second round of games for the day. First round games seem to be set in advance. Oh, and free wifi makes things easier when you want to track your fantasy team while watching the games. Nerd so hard.
I am not from around here so unless Melvin summons me to the Westside, I probably won’t be visiting often, but I would definitely not mind returning were the circumstances ripe.

Good for fooball Sundays. Decent-​ish food. Servers are awesome.
But honestly… I only come here for the Melvin.

I checked their website before visiting and liked their statement, «we ignore the stereotypical „sports bar“ eateries by offering a wide variety…».Sounds good, yes? Arrived and was disappointed with the menu, which looks much like every other sports bar menu. Their «seafood selection» offers salmon and tilapia. That’s it. However, they do offer calamari, halibut and clam strips as well but they’re listed under «breaded and battered», neither of which I eat but hey, no worries, still gonna give the place a shot.
Prices are higher than average in this area for beer as are food prices. We hoped that the portions would be a bit larger but that’s not the case.
Service is inconsistent… we had a server who was very sociable, just not with us. Her focus was on a table of people who were either her friends or regulars. We noted one server who seemed to really be busting ass and was on point with her tables. Sure hope this isn’t a place where servers have to pool their tips!
I wanted a burger without a bun and requested it be cooked medium temperature. It arrived with a bun and was well done. We tried to flag down a server to correct my order but gave up. When our server finally checked in with us, I told her my burger was over cooked. Her reply? «Oh bummer… I’ll have to get on them next time!» WTF? No apology, no attempt to get it right. She noticed my bun set aside on the plate and asked if something was wrong with it. I told her I requested no bun…” Oh yeah, you did! «
Another fail
She never asked if we wanted more drinks, (we did), never bussed our table. We’ll chalk it up to sitting in the wrong section.
Hmm, actually, we just went to the wrong sports bar.

I’ve been here a ton. And I LIKE IT. In addition to what I’ve noted previously, the service is on uptick. The waitresses know us, have a great idea of what we’re getting to drink and are delightfully efficient — while being unobtrusive while we’re there. That’s my kind of place.
I normally now get the Fiesta Salad with salsa as my dressing — no cheese and extra avocado. Everything is fresh, well prepared and delicious.
The happy hour still tends to be great — while not a huge bargain — still a great selection.
The bar is huge, the TV selection is WIDE (just ask, they will likely change it upon request) and it’s a great Hops locale too.
We will be back. Cause it’s great.
