Pitchers Sports Restaurant

Oh, awesome. I saw more Oakland Raiders Jerseys here than in a Bay Area halfway house. I met a giant woman who told me she lost her virginity to David Koresh, and the waitress flinched every time I reached for my wallet, apparently assuming I was going for a gun, a bottle of GHB, or Health Department citation. God, I love Aurora.

I will say it has a lot of character.  Not the best appetizers, but decent.  The onion rings were too bready and fell apart too easily.  There are plenty of men of all ages and skin textures hanging out.  It's a bit sketchy to see men sitting outside smoking and checking out every customer, but it's a friendly place. I probably wouldn't go back unless it was with a group.

3-star review because this place is A-OK!!  

Best things about Pitchers:  Free Pool on weeknights, good prices pitchers of beer, usually very friendly and attentive bar staff. And they don't allow Raiders gear, which is good.   I've only eaten here one time and got a chicken fried steak. It was pretty good though!

What you get with Pitchers is basically the epitome of Aurora neighborhood/dive bars along Chambers Road, etc.  A lot of different people in there, gets pretty busy on the weekend nights and is totally a dive.. kind of dingy, lots of neon signs, ugly carpet, worn down tables and furnishings, ugly light fixtures/ceiling fans.  Its all part of the atmosphere.

Go here when: you live close and you're looking for a local spot to grab some beers, shoot some pool, or check out the crowd.
