Our friends at Urban Drinks recently launched a new mobile site. If you have a smart phone, you can just go to www.urbandrinks.com and you can EASILY pull up happy hours all over Portland.

It even shows beer lists at many bars!

From Urban Drinks: If you’ve never visited UrbanDrinks.com, then you wouldn’t know that Portland has over 700 happy hours. The happy hour list put together by Bryan and Mike at UrbanDrinks is the most extensive of any source in Portland.

The new mobile site is up and running, and includes a new feature that lets you see in real-time which beers are on tap at some of the better beer destinations around town. The functionality of the website is pretty basic and still has a few bugs, but what can you expect from two guys that have day jobs.

Watch 2012 Rose Bowl In Portland & Online: Oregon Ducks vs Wisconsin Badgers | Food & Drink Specials

Oregon Ducks Rose Bowl UniformsThe 2012 Rose Bowl is this Monday with the Oregon Ducks taking on the Wisconsin Badgers in Pasadena. The Ducks are looking to make a statement after falling to Ohio State in the 2010 Rose Bowl and Auburn in the National Championship last year.

NIKE unveiled their new Darth Vader-esque uniforms this week. The helmets look like mirrors, but Wisconsin is apparently not worried.

From ESPN: It looks like a big mirror. Have you seen the helmet? If so, are you worried about any reflection?

Wisconsin QB Russell Wilson confessed that he had not seen the helmet. He said he was “sure they’re good-looking helmets” but he wasn’t really worried about the Ducks helmets and whether he might be able to see his reflection in one.

Oregon is a great football team,” Wilson said. “They have, I guess, the fashion going on where they can wear whatever they want and look pretty good in it. But that’s not what the game comes down to.” Read More here…

—————————————

The game is at 2PM on the ESPN and pre-game starts at 1:30PM. If you don’t have TV or looking for a good bar in Portland to watch, here are some suggestions from our sponsors:
