My buddy and I were looking for a tee time around the same time. Would be fun to meet up with some Oregon folk, although we aren't into any threesome stuff. You know... no homo.
Others will offer better input, I'm sure, but as far as Friday night, the Railyard or O Street are the only two good options, but are both great options. O Street is all college bars over a 4-5 block stretch, and the Railyard/Haymarket area is a slightly but not much older crowd. The Railyard is a big open area across from the basketball arena where you can drink outside, a big LED wall and usually some live music.
Also get some Raising Canes if you've never experienced it.
You lost a lot of credibility with the Raising Canes recommendation in my not so humble restaurant opinion. He probably doesn't want to know which national chain restaurant to go to. It's not in Oregon, but it's all over the place, and it wasn't founded in Nebraska.
OP - go to McDonalds. They have the best french fries you'll ever taste.
