Not a huge beer drinker but I knew they had my Chimay Trappist Grande Reserve that I like. I brought this over to the bar so I could enjoy with a menu item. This was the first time I was asked if I wanted my Chimay in a tulip glass. Of course I do, that's the way it is traditionally served. Next I decided to try their burger. I don't even get a choice as to the degree of doneness that I would like my burger. Well done equals dry and flavorless. The pretzel bun the burger was on was extremely chewy as if it had been microwaved. I opted for cheddar cheese, which brought the price of my burger meal to over $20 for a slightly below mediocre burger. Typical lettuce, tomato, pickle and small slice of onion as a topping. I opted for seasoned fries as the side and they were mediocre as well. Still searching for a truly good burger that is worthy of a $20 price point.

You want to try the delicious slab of tender corned beef with seasoned mash potatoes and steamed…read morecabbage and carrots with toasted soda bread plated by Chef Kyle. Add a Guinness. With that meal you will experience actual satisfaction and contentment. That's the first thing I have to say in case you're reading for a recommendation of what to order. Even better if you have it late night after experiencing the best Handel's Messiah concert at the Hult in December. I had a small slider of corned beef along with his amazing fresh Kale salad garnish with shaved Parmesan, walnuts, added protein -- sausage. It came with a toasted slice of soda bread that was great. But the slider was how I realized the corned beef was PERFECTLY prepared. A taste was not enough; I decided to get the dinner plate version to take the next day up to Seattle with me. Fantastic staff included Barkeep Illyia, whose birthday it was. She kept up a steady stream of attentive care, skillful service, friendly banter with each of the clients that came in and said good by to them as they left. Hospitality was her middle name. Love that they have mugs for the regulars hanging from the ceilings, the bar space is great but so are the arm chairs and cushioned seats in the corners of the pub. I even ran into two other concertgoers who had also been so energized after the Messiah concert that they didn't want to go home. We spent a half hour at the bar unpacking the highs and best points of the performance by the Eugene Symphony Orchestra, and the symphony choir, and each of the soloists. We also unanimously agreed the tenor was fantastic, the baritone a paragon of artistic talent, the soprano sang incandescently, and that the final AMEN movement was soul healing and mind blowing simultaneously. Yeah. It was that good. This place was the right place to come to unpack it all over a Guinness and the best corned beef and cabbage in town. Love that it was open late enough to enjoy after the concert. Will be back.

You can go wrong at this little Irish pub. It's got dim lighting, two bars, great service and…read moreamazing food. I wanted to get some corned beef so I stopped in. It was thick slab corned beef, perfectly tender. I also got their pretzel with the beer cheese sauce. To be honest, the beer cheese wasn't my favorite...was a little gooopy and the texture wasn't great. But, the pretzel was fantastic. It has the salt, the chew, and it was a great size. I also got their colcannon. It was great! Creamy and delicious. I ordered their brown gravy too because I like gravy with my potatoes and it was hearty and a big side for the price. All in all, i definitely recommend the pint pot!

The food was solid,…read moreservice was fine, and the fried pickle appetizer plus the chips were definitely worth ordering. My only complaint was that they were out of mac and cheese as a side order, but somehow still had it available if you ordered the rib platter, a little confusing. What really makes this place stand out is the great selection of beers and cocktails. The space feels clean, modern, and new, which makes it an easy place to hang out. I just wish they had a larger outdoor seating area instead of the small patio with only a few chairs. Overall, we'll definitely be back for the food and drinks. Cheers!

We went to their new public house for dinner on a Wednesday and the place was hopping. Their new…read morebuilding is very cool (and not quite done yet!). The new public house is pretty much behind their original spot, overlooking Coburg Road. We sat in a booth with very tall walls that felt very private but I don't feel like I could tell you the vibe of the rest of the restaurant. Since I was sitting in the back of the booth, I could only see two other tables that were along the windows and the traffic going by in the dark. Next time we'll ask not to sit in a booth so we can see more of the restaurant. Our server informed us that the public house was split into two sections. We were in the full-service restaurant part and there was a more casual (order at the counter?) section by the front door for people that just wanted to grab a beer and sit at a communal table. Our server was excellent. Not the typical Eugene service from him! He answered our questions about the beers and brought us tastes and had all the answers ready about the food. They were out of two things (understandable at such a new spot) but I noticed that they had already changed their menu a few times in the few short weeks they've been opened. Yay for seasonal menus!! Our party went super basic and we all ordered the Butter Burger (the butter is mixed into the patty so it helps the burger caramelize) which came with fries. We also split the grilled potato salad(served chilled), which was a good sized portion to split with our group of five. My kiddo got the wings (sauceless) and fries. We'll be back to try more of the menu items and sit at a table without walls.

Best way to describe the Filling Station is a giant living room, all your friends and neighbors present, your favorite dog running around, and 21 beer and 6 cider taps flowing. It is a local place where you will easily know everyone's name before you go, if you want to. Or there are some cool side rooms if you wanna do you your own thing. TLDR: Best bar in Eugene if you like beer, laid back comfortable atmosphere, and great people.

When I travel for beer, I usually stick to breweries because each has their own story and vibe…read more It's rare I seek out a beer bar, unless there is something special and thankfully this one fits that category. A Beer Club has been on recent lists of best beers bars in the country. From the outside it seems like just another bar in a commercial plaza, windows and bright lit beer signs in the windows. But inside it was quick to see why this place is special. To the left are fridges filled with amazing bottles and cans from mostly local breweries. The selections here are special ones, not what you can find from these breweries in a normal grocery store. There's even one door blacked out that's for members of the club, a curated selection of even more amazing things. The interior is bright and well lit, with the walls covered in bottles collected over the years. The bartender George was friendly and welcoming to my group; their tap list is also fantastic so we were able to pick and choose whatever we wanted in flight sizes. There was another employee that explained their beer selection and showed us a phone book sized binder filled with more selections! The special treat was the two gentlemen at the bar trying special bottles, who gave us the generous leftovers to enjoy and taste. I could see this place easily being a usual haunt if I lived nearby. If you're a beer fan in Eugene, this is a must-visit stop!

Beer clean glassware!

It's less than 1% of the places I visit that are true beer clean glassware astute. There are many that do a good job, but when you see the lacing on glassware that I saw tonight, you know you're in rarified air. FOOD: ok I know most people don't need out over glassware the way I do so let's discuss the food - I went more unique with a lamb sausage and a boar sausage, plus my new friends next to me shared their fries. My opinion? Awesome. Well executed sausage, the fries were really good - crisp on the outside and still perfect potato texture inside while being hot with a fry sauce side that perfectly complemented Service was great, met regulars, had tasty food - but the whale in this adventure was the care for the glassware. This is special - the owner truly cares about your experience when they nail the small details a lot of folks miss. I didn't miss this detail because it's massive in the nuance on your beer but takes special care and pride to get right. Bangers takes pride in giving you a beer in a properly maintained glass, and that's uniquely special. Applause to Bangers for attention to detail!

The food was good, but the pricing felt a bit steep. $17 dollars for a basic Seattle dog and fries feel a little high for counter service. That said, the overall vibe makes up for it.

Great place to grab a drink and hang out, just be prepared for slightly higher food prices.

Definitely an acquired taste, but I loved the creativity behind it. The Key Lime Rum Cocktail was bright, refreshing, and perfectly balanced, with a tropical twist that was smooth and flavorful without being overly sweet.

She was a vibe for sure and seemed to be vibing with the other customers as well. AMBIANCE: 10/10 Crow & Cart nails that "handcrafted neighborhood bar" feel.
