Century Bar, or simply Century, was a bar and restaurant in Portland, Oregon. The business began operating in 2016 and had closed by mid 2021.
Century Bar was a 318-seat sports bar housed in a former printing shop on Sandy Boulevard in southeast Portland's Buckman neighborhood.[1] Vegan options include mushroom tacos to buffalo artichoke wings.[2]
Jacob Carey, Ian David, Liam Duffy, Ben Hufford, John Janulis, and Clyde Wooten opened Century Bar.[3] Nathan VanDeventer managed the bar operation and Russell Van der Genugten served as chef. The bar opened on June 16, 2016,[4] slightly later than previously reported target dates of November 2015 and February 2016.[5][6][7]
Century Bar hosted the Negroni Social to kickoff Negroni Week in June 2016,[8] and has also hosted screenings by Church of Film.[9][10] Century closed temporarily during the COVID-19 pandemic, reopening a few weeks after Multnomah County reached Phase 1.[11] The bar had closed permanently by mid 2021.[12]
Century Bar was nominated in the Design of the Year and Most Stunning Restaurant of the Year categories for the 2016 Eater Awards, presented by Eater Portland;[13] the bar was named editor's choice in the former category.[14] In 2016, Willamette Week's Sophia June wrote, "Century is the sports bar Portland has been waiting for",[15] and the newspaper's Martin Cizmar said in 2017, "Watching a big game at Century feels like you're ringside for a prizefight—the energy exceeds any other sports bar I've been to, and I've been to a few."[16][17] In 2020, Eater Portland's Alex Frane included Century in his list of "Portland's 10 Ideal Rooftop Patios For Views, Drinks, and Sun".[18]
