final-four-2026The Fighting Illini are going to the Final Four!!!

Due to high response expected for this game, the club has designated two locations for watching our Illini take on the UConn Huskies. 
 

Location 1

Jerry's Tavern

3010 NW Nicolai

Portland, OR 97210

Jerry's Tavern is the most midwestern bar in Portland, featuring buckets of Miller High Life, a killer meatloaf sandwich for $11, Chicago songs during commercial breaks, and Jerry himself rocking the cowbell. Jerry's also is a fun place to watch Cubs games this summer. Jerry's has limited seating and will be packed for the game.

 

Location 2

Independant Sports Bar & Grill

225 SW Broadway

Portland, OR 97205
 

Located downtown, the Independant has reserved the big screen TV for us, and the menu features salads and sandwiches. Should be plenty of seating available.
 

Please RSVP to events@portlandillini.org with the number in your party and which location you have chosen, or to ask any questions. Feel free to arrive early to secure a good seat at either location and chat with your fellow Illini.
