Rennie's Landing Eugene I went into Rennie's after reading a handful of reviews that sounded like people wandered into a college-campus bar and were shocked shocked! to find college kids, energy, and a crowd. Folks complaining about the vibe or the service while standing smack in the middle of the University of Oregon is like being surprised there are Ducks at Autzen Stadium. Context matters, people. My wife and I stopped in recently and had a genuinely great time. The service was solid our bartender was attentive, friendly, and made some damn good drinks. Food? On point. Nothing felt rushed or sloppy, even though you could tell this place knows how to stay busy. And yeah, it does get busy... because it's popular. That's not a flaw, that's a flex. The location is fun, the energy is lively, and I could absolutely see this place turning into a full-on party once the Ducks are flying high or the weekend rolls around. If service ever slows a touch, it's not because they don't care it's because half of Eugene decided Rennie's was the move that night. That's just college-town math. Bottom line: Rennie's Landing knows exactly what it is and where it is. If you come in expecting a quiet wine bar, you're in the wrong zip code. If you want good drinks, good food, attentive service, and a lively Oregon Ducks atmosphere, you'll leave happy. We sure did. read more

Most of the 1 star reviews seem to stem from folks that can't handle their liquor / have entitlement issues. Or they proceed to explain a valid reason why staff gave em' the boot. There's always two sides to a story... I think Rennie's is awesome and here's why: Service: I mean I'm just in town for the weekend and I pop in for the second day in a row during the afternoon. Pretty slow. Probably less than 10 people total in the establishment. I ordered a drink from a gentleman and went on my way upstairs. Came back down for round two and a female server was asking for the tab name for the order. I told her my last name and she replied with an excited, "Doug!" - I have been told that I have a memorable name in the past, but regardless it was really nice feeling a sense of recognition from staff. Food: When I come back to Eugene and have new people with me, Rennie's is a must. You walk in and you definitely don't get the vibe that the food will be good. Well... your inclination is INCORRECT. The food is damn good! I try not to set high expectations for the people I bring, but I just tell them... for a bar, the food is awesome. I don't know if I have low standards because I'm a 24 year old man, but I stand by my word. Vibes: Rennie's will always have a special place in my heart. It's a place to talk. I've had a handful of groundbreaking moments in friendships and relationships at Rennie's that I will never forget. I love the giant TV inside, upstairs too. Great for us screenmaxxers! read more

Rennie's Landing - Chicken Caesar Wrap + Tots - New American Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Rennies is by far the most home-y, cozy bar in the campus area with a wide selection of activities on a weekly basis (karaoke, trivia, bingo, drink wheel) and the best food out of any of the campus bars. I feel safe at rennies, am treated like family, and find peace here when I need it. It is also the go-to spot when I am seeking a lively atmosphere! It really does offer something for everyone. This is exhibited by the wide range of ages of patrons. The food is consistently excellent, drinks are great, never had bad service. The staff is very friendly and they run a tight ship. Rennies will always be my favorite! read more

Don't believe the bad ratings. The servers here are great. But they aren't going to overserve you so if you are tipsy coming in the door they will probably not admit you. The place is usually packed. That says it all read more

Do not go to Rennie's. One of the bartenders was physically aggressive, intoxicated while working, and confiscated my valid ID without reason. I'm 21, and it was my friend's 21st birthday. While all of my friends--also of age--were let in without issue, my up to date government-issued ID was denied. The bartender/bouncer, Weston (or Wesley), became immediately hostile. He pushed me to the side when I tried to grab my ID (a natural reaction to an important document being taken from you), yelled at me to get outside, and physically pulled my ID away from me, locking it away in a box behind the bar. I was completely sober and had to call the police just to get my ID back. Weston (or Wesley) saying, "Yea do that, f*cking call them." Absolutely Ridiculous. A BARTENDER SHOULD BE ABLE TO HANDLE CONFLICT NOT START IT. He was clearly drunk on the job. His behavior was unstable and threatening, and it made everyone in our group feel unsafe. When we left and went to Max's instead, we found out this same bartender is actually banned from that bar for getting into a physical altercation with a female customer and punching her in the face. Weston claimed he couldn't see the hologram on my ID, even though others nearby could clearly see it as he showed my ID to other people at the bar without my permission while trying to justify himself. Once it became clear he was wrong, he backed down, but only because police were on the way. At one point, he even confused me with the birthday girl and tried to kick her out instead. When he finally returned my ID, he shoved it into my hands and said, "Whatever, I don't f*cking care, just take it." As I reached to grab it my friends also reached for it at the same time, knowing how important this was. When this happened he lunged at us saying "Woah. NO.", and one of my friends had to physically hold him back to stop him from getting violent with her brother. I also spoke with the owner the following day hoping to resolve the conflict and notify him of the dangerous incident that occurred with his employee. He said he would watch the video tapes but claimed he "didn't see anything physical happen," despite multiple people being shoved and pushed to the side. That tells me customer safety is not a priority here--especially for women. This bar protects someone who is known to be aggressive and unstable. I wouldn't feel safe going back, and I don't think others should either. There are too many great places in town to waste your time or risk your safety here. MAX'S IS THE BEST! DEFINITELY A BETTER AND SAFER OPTION!! read more

UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT!!! Bartender confiscated 1/3 of our parties legitimate California IDs. Wesley immediately approached the situation with aggression and made no effort to deescalate, nor did the other bartender alongside him. He must've been drinking on the job because he claimed to not see the holographic image on the "fake" ID that appeared on the others. As soon as our party compared theirs, they could very clearly see the holographic lines and only then was the bartender "open" to realizing his error (stormed out and continued to yell at us and begrudgingly return the ID). He continued to be very AGGRESSIVE AND PHYSICAL with the people in our party. Out front of the establishment I had to use my arm to RESTRAIN him from initiating a physical altercation with my brother. We were right on the front step, but the bartender had his back to the building and apparently blocked the one angle of the very front of their establishment, so the owners are refusing to take action. This man has been confirmed to be VIOLENT on other occasions and is banned from local bars such as Max's. Regardless of the ID situation, a bartender must be able to deescalate situations as they are knowingly walking into a job that will involve intoxicated people and disagreements. Insane lack of professionalism and was very scary. We are all lucky that this did not end worse. It speaks leaps and bounds that a woman holding him back was not enough for him to check himself and chill out. Shame on Rennie's for condoning violence. read more

Got denied as a 22 year old from a woman bouncer who looked at my id for 10 minutes while letting all my friends in. Very disappointed in a eugene establishment for singling out younger looking asian women will not be giving them my service moving forward hire better bouncers who know how to do their job and don't turn away customers read more

Rennie's Landing - One on right is redbull with a flavored vodka(can't remember) & cranberry juice it was delicious! - New American Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

It has been many years since I have frequented this place. We stopped in not long ago on a Saturday afternoon with my oldest Son to have a drink after having lunch near by. We went to the bar upstairs so we can sit outside. We were served right away, and the lady helping us was nice. I have never had food from here, so I can't really comment on the food. I ended up having a flavored Red Bull drink. I wasn't a fan of the flavor Red Bull. Not the bartenders fault. Just the Red Bull wasn't what I was expecting. It was a flavor I had not tried before. When we wanted more drinks it seems like the service was a little slower. It is your typical college sports bar. It gets pretty packed at night. At least from what I can remember. read more

Rennie's used to be the go to bar in Eugene for its good food, good drinks and it's great customer service. Recently in the past months Rennys has not been the same. On multiple occasions, a bartender with an upper lip piercing has been rude and degrading toward attendees at the bar. He's angry every time I've been in there and seems annoyed by people trying to buy drinks. He often doesn't hesitate to bark orders at customers and shout in their face. I have spoken to many people who have shared the same experience and hope something can be done about his bad attitude and behavior. read more

We stopped here on Christmas Eve to unwind after our family get together. Rennies has been serving the University of Oregon area since 1981, rich in history this is a must stop when visiting the U of O. It is in a converted house and is located on the western edge of campus and just a block from the University of Oregon Bookstore. It is right across the street from the School of Business. They have an outdoor patio both upstairs and on the ground floor. It was not too busy as expected on Christmas Eve and we had the opportunity to interact with the General Manager. Although we only stopped in for drinks, he shared they were making some changes to the menu so the pics I took may not be totally accurate in the near future. The menu looks really good, we wish we weren't so full or we would have tried something! Dad had a coffee, mom had water, my wife had a rum and coke and I had an IPA. We hung out for a little while and checked the place out, I also won $50 playing video lottery. It was really cool to experience and something that has been part of the college scene here for about 40 years. Wishing them another 40 years of success! read more

Rennies will always have a special place in my heart as it is a staple college bar In Eugene. I've been coming here for the past 2 years and have always had a blast. Karaoke Monday and Trivia Tuesdays are definitely the move but go early or it will be hard to find a seat. Thursday - Saturday are usually pretty packed but you can always manage to have a good time here! Try the Rennies lemonade if your looking for a starter drink! This is definitely more of a college bar on the weekends so you can expect a younger croud with cheap food and drinks. If your looking for a more upscale place, I would recommend looking elsewhere. read more

this bar is good. the food is nice. the drinks are good. i like the service. the inside looks nice read more

I just turned 21 this summer and have frequented Rennie's ever since. So far, I've tried Rennie's lemonade, tequila sunrise, their hot wings, mushroom burger, and tater tots. Everything I got there was pretty good. The lemonade and tequila sunrise are both a little expensive but because both drinks got me buzzed, it was worth the price. Drinks both tasted really good as well and were consistent through the multiple times I've ordered them. Their hot wings and burger tasted alright, was expensive for average food so I probably won't be ordering them again. The tater tots were really good, however, and also served in a large portion so I definitely recommend getting those. Overall my trips to Rennie's have all been pleasant and it is a great place to chill with your friends before or after a night out. read more

Rennie's Landing - Tater tots and hot wings - New American Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

The vibes here are so, so bad! Worst place to go out to in Eugene. Rude employees and crowd, bad music, bad seating. For those who don't know, the only people that go to Rennie's and like Rennie's, are people who are extremely fraternity and sorority people. if you're not one of those / alternative and/or above the age of 22 there is a 100% chance that you will not like this place. read more

Good food and drinks, Security is kind and chatty! Overall loved it and would recommend to friends:)

I go to Rennies often and it's fun but extremely overpacked you can't even move. The tipping point of the frustration is the owner or manager. I've heard of her before and her poor customer service but I experienced it myself last night. After my friends and I were standing outside talking she made the security guard kick us out. There was no fighting, no commotion, no reason to kick us out we were just standing, talking, and drinking our drinks we just got from the bar. She hid behind the security guard in a boho hat and just pointed at us like we were doing something wrong. Very confusing situation but extremely disrespectful to paying customers. read more

We walked into Taylor's on Parents Weekend and quickly walked back out. Yes, they were packed but no one was over 25 and it was loud as hell. Not my kind of place. Rennie's was crowded but much more subdued and my wife and I grabbed a beer on the back patio. Decent service and a really good $4 beer. My son also tells us the tater tots are other worldly much later in the evening. read more

The bartender/employee named "CASSIDY" ruined our experience at Rennies. And sadly we will probably never return this place She Racially profiled, and publicly humiliated one of my friends. Noted, I have gone to rennies A few times this past year and each time this employee has had a sour attitude and aggressively rude towards anyone who orders from her. Regardless we tip. The last night one of our friends went up to order our second round of drinks, but because of her rude behavior the first time, he decided he would not leave a tip on the second tab. ( Which was only one $9 drink) The other person with him left a 10% tip. She screamed at them I quote "next time f*ing tip me" Then walked over to the bouncer asking to kick out both of the men. Her reasoning to kick them out was not only inappropriate but unnecessary. (When they never showed any aggression & Not even drunk either). The bouncer began using vulgar language and put his hands on the men when they were 100% cooperating to leave. read more

Came to watch a basketball game with friends and my 9 month old. First of all the floors were extremely sticky and they were short staffed so unfortunately service was not great. Then I needed to change my son's diaper and there was no place to do so in the restroom. The floors were not very clean and I wasn't about to put him on the floor. So I quickly changed him at our table. Upon finishing, I was yelled at for doing so because I was being unsanitary. Which I do understand but I was on a bike and had no other choice. I mentioned there was no place to change him in the restroom and was again yelled at that I was being unsanitary. I felt like I was scolded for needing to change my son. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone after being scolded by a staff member. read more

Thursday-Saturday the bar tenders are rude. The food is mediocre and the drinks are expensive for what they are. Trivia nights are fairly fun. read more

Third time we walked in when it was nearly empty but couldn't get service. Bartenders (one in particular - short bearded guy) always acts as if he's doing us a favor. Food came cold, couldn't find the server, can't order beer, so buh-bye. Then, the little hot-tempered runt insulted us as we paid. WTF has Rennie's become?! read more

Flat beers! Cold food! Crap -- and I mean consistently crap -- service from a surly bartender! You can't beat Rennie's. Management: People want to spend money there but your bartenders suck so A) we don't order, and B) go elsewhere. It's constant and it hurts your bottom line, y'know. read more

I have been to Rennie's Landing twice in the past week. The first time was for brunch and it was pretty okay so I decided to bring a group to trivia tonight (on Tuesday). As an avid bar trivia player this was by far the worst experience I've had. That is to say it isn't a normal bar trivia. It's for college kids who want to cheat on their phones or make stupid guesses up. Which is fine, but it is not for everyone. Just be aware of that prior to getting a group of friends to go to trivia at Rennie's Landing. Will not be back for trivia. Would consider going back another night. read more

This review is for the quality of service. The food was great. My partner and i had to come down for a funeral. We decided to stop and get a drink and food for the night. Sounds good, right? It gets better. Upon entry at the bar upstairs, we were ignored the first few mins, even though we were in line.. Dude had to joke around with his patrons. Finally, our turn. My wife orders a standard fruity drink. I ask for a "mocktail/virgin cocktail" (im 2 years sober). Dude didnt know what that meant. For the DD patrons, they had soda (which why was there vanilla syrup in the Dr. Pepper?) and water. Thats no fun. Ok, so after walking the bartender through a virgin vodka cran with lime, he made a subpar drink. Then loudly upstairs you asked "hey hows that mocktail??" like practicing sobriety is silly. Well dude, at this point I lost it with you. I asked for my tab, amd left you a nice tip. Because, maybe youre not a douche who works in a college bar for shit tips, and maybe you had a rough night. I was for sure. So on leaving, after giving you the receipt back, you laughed a bit and quipped "sucks to be sober" or something like that. Im not here to tell you how to live your life or career. Had it been me, I'd have acknowledged us at the very least, that you were a bit busy. On our way out, I let the main bartender know, about this whole experience. I told him everything about our experience, and my being sober. He was at least apologetic, and his jaw was on the floor. Like i said, the food was great. The ambience is very college bar, laid back. Sadly, I wont be back to this restaurant. Which is a shame, because the menu for breakfast looked great. read more

Don't go here if it's your 21st!!! They will deny you service!!!! We were a polite group taking my friend to the bar for the first time and she left very flustered read more

The staff is incredibly rude and unprofessional. The bartender Cassidy repeatedly harassed me and my friends over a microphone because she thought she saw my friend vaping, which she was not. when i said something in defense of my friend, Cassidy threatened to kick me out. At one point she was screaming in my friend's face and none of the managers intervened until my friends and I said something. it was humiliating, degrading and a disgusting display of unprofessionalism. Cassidy needs to be fired because this is clearly not the first time she has harassed customers. read more

Do not come to this bar, terrible service! I am bartender and I asked for whiskey sour and the bartender was so rude and didn't make it correct so I didn't want to bother her again so I went downstairs to another bartender to fix the drink and he said he couldn't, even when I told him there was a fly in my drink he said that there wasn't even though there clearly was. He then went to remake my drink and asked me what I wanted and was so condscending the whole time. I went to talk to the manager and when I did he pulled his face mask down at me and flipped me off. The bartenders here are so unprofessional, rude, and bad for business. I was there for ten minutes tops. Would give zero stars if I could. read more

Rennies, in my opinion, is the best place near campus to go on campus for drinks. It's in a perfect location, and definitely draws a crowd on Friday and Saturday nights. It's also a great spot to eat at during the day for lunch or to watch sporting events. Very chill environment, and never gets too rowdy or crowded. As for the food, the go-to for me are the chicken wings and the cheesy bacon tots. This combo will never do you wrong. They do have some other great options like burgers and sandwiches as well. As for the alcohol, it's your typical bar but you have to try their specialty alcoholic beverage, Rennie's Lemonade. Their pitcher beers are fairly cheap as well. The environment is really cool, and looks like a 2 story house. They have a balcony with seating outside, both downstairs and upstairs (food and bar upstairs as well). If you're in Eugene, and looking for a good night out, this is the place to be. read more

The fries and tots are amazing, let me start out by saying this since I came on May 14. But the waitress was totally rude. She talked down to me when I wasn't the one in our group who didn't order alcohol due to being the designated driver. I said that I am 22 and that if I bother sipping anything, then she'd have to see my ID (correct in essence but uncharitable in tone). Then she yelled at me for throwing a napkin in the trash OUTSIDE on their patio just because I didn't wear a mask to do this one minute thing. I frankly hope to never see her again as I don't live in Eugene. read more
