I had a chance to stop by during my most recent visit to Eugne. I always stay at the Hilton and this place is almost right across the street.

It is divided into a dining and bar area. The dining room uses Lots of gray, black and cranberry in the color scheme. There are dark gray tile floors and some faux wood beams running along the wall. For some reason, it reminds me of a 1980s Duran Duran album cover (you know what I mean).

They have soft jazz playing in the background (sade anyone?).

The bar has a different look entirely. There are large tinted windows overlooking 6th, very tall ceilings and lots of sports stuff. The bar seats about 20 and there are plenty of tables to share. There are some video games and TVs to distract you.

I recommend you sit at the bar.

Beers are 3.95 per pint for micros. Their beer list is divided by type. On draft they have 2 US macros plus Stella, Bass, Guinness, Widmer Hefe, Deschutes Pale and SN. In addition, they have 2 IPAs (Terminal Gravity and Ninkasi) 3 ambers (Mac and Jacks, Fat Tire and Widmer drop top) one brown (Cascade Lakes), 2 porters (Happy Valley Vanilla and Black Butte Porter) 2 seasonals (Ninkasi Radiant and Cascade Summer blonde). They offer 12 bottles with the only interesting one being Kona Longboard. I thought the tap list was pretty well laid out and had a more than a few good choices.

Service was prompt and friendly.

The food menu is pretty large and you should be able to find something you like. I can recommend the beer cheese soup. I liked that you could actually taste the beer!

Not sure why this place is featured in BA. It's not a "beer" oriented bar. It does, however have some great food specials. Most noteably, the tuesday night "Burger and Brew." This was one of my favorite places while I was at the UofO because of Tuesday night. You get a burger, with anything you want on it, fries and a PINT of micro brew for $5. It might be more like $6 now, but jesus that's still a deal.

Other than the large bar and copious Plazma screen TVs, there isn't really a reason to hang out here either. It's a good place for a drink around downtown Eugene, but not really a beer place. If you're looking for a brewery downtown, head to Steelhead on 5th and High. Then head to High St. down the street between 12th and 13th. Much better beer selection from on-stie breweries.

Great place for a after work drink! The crowd is very mixed and dependant upon time of year. While schools in there are plenty of UofO students in there but theres also plenty of older couples to working profesionals. The beer selection is about standard for the type of place. On tuesdays they have six dollar burger and beer. Great price and great burger! Get there early so you can get a seat and not wait around all night! Price is right atmosphere is good and the service is good. Everyone is really nice. Ive always had a good experience.
