First time I walked into Hammer's I was immediately greeted with a warm reception. Wanting to watch the Oregon vs Oregon State game, they attempted to accommodate me with one of the many TV's in the place.
I have driven by HMG&B many times. Unless your looking or live in the immediate area you could miss it.
The set up for watching games is great. There is the bar and behind that you have a "bar top" that faces the TV's, behind that is the dining area.
The queso sticks are unique. The chicken fingers...fresh. Both Awesome!
I was told that Bob Fleming, a former NHL player owns the joint. He directed me to Youtube to find an outstanding hockey fight the Mr. Fleming was involved in when he played the with the Buffalo Sabers.
I got to watch football, eat great chow, watch football, watch a hockey fight all the while drinking ice cold beer.....AWESOME!
This is a "local" bar. From what I have noticed in my visits is there is a smoking area outside but some of the "regulars" some inside. Be prepared for this and remember you are after all in a bar.
