The beer selection alone is enough to check this place but the bartenders/owners/patrons are why you want to visit. The service is great and staff members are incredibly acommodating and friendly. The space itself is beautiful and offers indoor and outdoor seating. Thank you, so much! read more

You absolutely must go to this place if you are in Eugene! There is always live music, great atmosphere, awesome beer selection and the outdoor patio is great! If you haven't been here, you are missing out. read more

I love Sam Bond's and I'm pretty sure most locals agree with me. They host really fun concerts and variety shows here and have a nice little patio you can enjoy on a beautiful day. I just tried their beet infused tequila cocktail and I don't know if I'll ever order anything else it's so good. They have a menu with pizza, hummus platter, pretzel, mac n cheese, grilled cheese, artichoke dip and other items that most people crave after a few drinks. The service has always been great here even on a super busy night. The cover to get in when they have a show is usually cash only but you can get cash back from the bar. They also have a little outdoor area in back surrounded by plants and flowers so if the patio gets full or you don't want to people watch in the Whiteaker, you can go to a nice little oasis and enjoy your cocktail back there. Street parking can be tricky but I always find parking one way or another. read more

I went here to grab a cider with a friend and thought it was great! Plenty of beer, and wine choices...not so many cider choices but the one I got (cherry cider) was top notch. Although I didn't have any food, the menu looked good; not as many vegetarian choices as I would have liked but that's okay. We sat outside on one of the picnic tables, relaxed and conversed in the laid-back atmosphere. I would definitely come back again to check out their food choices as well as to see some of the bands that play there. As I was leaving I checked out the calendar and it is pretty packed! Plus, Mondays at 9:00 they have BINGO...sounds like a good time! read more

I had a ton of fun here! This place rocks! Right by the river, ride your bike! It is perfect! Perfect for Eugene.

I was here last night for The Dead Kenny Gs show; those guys whale. Cool bar in a cool neighborhood, always a good time.

This is one of my favorite places in town due to the outdoor seating and cheap beer. The staff is friendly and efficient. The food isn't great but I don't go there for the food. Be sure to check out Monday night Bingo read more

Great people, good beer, fun bands. Best atmosphere in Eugene. Really. Everyone should go here once.

Worth the 5-hour drive! We found this little bit of heaven at the end of a long drive to help friends move. In search of an adult beverage before trying to sleep in our cheapie hotel - I asked a local where we could get a drink. BLESS THAT MAN!!! We walked in @ 12:45 am & got served KICK-ASS pizza by the slice & KILLER beer! We WILL be back! read more

Sam Bonds is one of those places that radiates fun, from their mason jar beers to the kick ass bands they have play there, i haven't been disappointed either of the 2 times i've been there or even the 10 times i've walked by. the wait staff are friendly and they have a nice outside area. love it. read more

So much yes! This bar in a great residential-y area of Eugene has a fantastic atmosphere - fun but casual and unpretentious. There is a good draft beer selection as well as good cocktails and cheap food and snacks. Loved The Shining artwork on the wall! This place attracted a great mix of locals, from students to older folk with flowing white beards, and everyone was happy to share the space together. We went on a Monday night around 11pm and it was busy with Monday night bingo, apparently a favourite with the locals. There is a music stage and I was disappointed to miss out on the live blues they had the following night (we were only in town one night). Everyone was having a great time in this bar. I hope to be back one day. read more

Yum! Vegan pizza and cheap, quality beer, plus super fresh greens in their salad and THE BEST tahini salad dressing ever. Go here! Bring your friends! read more

Sam Bonds is back on its feet! Felt like the glory days of Sam bonds had left us a little while ago with the departure of some favorite bar tenders, but with the return of the original bingo guys and more nights of the week dedicated to free shows, Sam bonds is a more competitive destination vs nearby Blairalley and Meiji. The new bar staff is pretty chill as well. Now serving house made craft brew, it's getting pretty interesting down on 4th and Blair. Minus one star for the fact that they seem to close shop a little earlier than you'd expect, but that just gives you time to stumble on over to Blairalley. read more

Finally got to check this place out the first time I tried they were hosting a private event, second try they had a power outage. I wanted to give up on this place but my friend insisted I had to check it out. Finally made it in. The place was packed with people drinking and playing Bingo. Standing room only but no problemo. Got myself a tasty IPA, grabbed a handful of pennies and a bingo card. Great idea I must say. I didn't end up winning but santa did throw me a gift from his bag. read more

We had the meatloaf sandwich and Mac and Cheese. Excellent! Nice staff! Not vegetarian or vegan as described on Yelp, but certainly saw choices for that population. Nice music on the patio. read more

This place is my favorite dive bar in town. On Mondays they have free bingo. The prizes are wacky things like a box of mangos or some really ugly wall hanging from goodwill. My friend won a old used pogo stick. It was awesome. I believe it starts at 9pm but you definitely want to get there early. I tend to go around 8pm and even then there are already lots of people there. Even if all the tables are full it's the kinda place where you can just go sit with others who have room at there table. Everyone is friendly there including the staff. The food and drinks are also 5 stars. read more

Great music, crowd, and site; but food just fair. Good choice of beers, wines, and meads.

I Love Sam Bond's! They serve really good root beer and host really good bands!!

This is one of my favorite venues in Eugene to see live music. It's nice and cozy with just the right mixture of bar, seating area, dancing area, and outdoor area. Good beer and food, and the band's they have are usually good to great. I first discovered one of my favorite bands here- Petunia & the Vipers! read more

Visited Sam Bond Garage on a Sunday afternoon & loved it. The place out back was full with their live music. Random musicians show up till 8ish & play Celtic music playing Celtic instruments. Awesome!! Beer was good with good selection. We snacked on their hummus plate which was a good choice. Friendly people! Would highly recommend this establishment. read more

Went there with the kids for supper around 5:30pm. Not too crowded. I wasn't expecting much and we almost left. I'm glad I didn't. The food was great. I got the meatloaf plate and my wife got the chicken pesto panini. The kids got the salmon chowder and the mac and cheese. We pretty much all shared each others. The price was good too. Add four alcohol drinks and two sodas to the food and it came out to $40. My only complaint is that even though there are no smoking signs as you go out to the outdoor seating, there are still ashtrays on the tables and people still smoking. It says not kid friendly but, I believe, kids are allowed until 8:30, or around there. read more

Great salmon chowder. Good meatloaf. Very nice salads. Good pizza. Good beer selection. Friendly staff. Cool place to sip suds, check out interesting counter-culture types in the area, chomp good grub. read more

Fantastic, best bar on Blair in the Whiteaker. All beers are craft brews with an option to get a bottle of PBR if you're on a budget. The staff are more than friendly, the food is in large hearty portions and tastes fresh. A better deal can't be found, especially with how often they have live music that shows for free, some nights require a cover, however it is never too much or ridiculously priced. read more

Its kind ofhidden in the backroads near the coirthouse but its worth a peek. Good brews and food. A very casual atmosphere.

Have been here twice in the early afternoon on Thursdays lol but there beer is good, very nice service that even offered us a slice of a new pizza that was vegetarian for Us! read more

This place might have been good...if anyone ever talked to us. We sat and waited over 10 minutes, the waitress passed us numerous times never said hello or took our order. Very rude. After 15 minutes we left. read more

If i were to open a bar, this place would be one of the templates to follow. Excellent music, beer in mason jars and delicious healthy grub. Hell yes. Wish i could make it out there more often. read more

Sam Bond's Garage is one of my favorite places in the whole wide world and its the very best place in this whole town. Such a funky and relaxed vibe, it feels like your living room away from your living room and at least one or two of your friends will always be there to have a drink, hang out, listen to music, play a game and share the love. Especially on Tuesday Night Bluegrass Jam (no cover, tons of musicians, tons of people). Don't go there for wine and cheese or frat parties, that is not the scene there. But for live music, good mostly organic food (choices for veggies, vegans and meat eaters too: mac and cheese is super yummy, you can't go wrong with one of their many plain and creative pizza choices and the incredible awesome chocolate chip cookes) and a wide beer selection and full bar. Not too too young, not too old, not too hippie (although anywhere in Eugene is gonna have a high hippie quotient), not too hipster, not to collegy, not too Springfieldy. Sam Bonds is just right. read more

Great place and great atmosphere. Cider on tap was good. Mash potatoes are amazing.

This place is truly one of a kind. Some very talented artists perform here, they serve some of the most organic bar food around, and the crowd is very friendly. read more

Thank you for Sam bond's The closest thing to a nice relaxed bar that Eugene has to offer. Good variety of Beer/cider most of the juices are organic in the mixers.. I love this place read more

Stopped by here the other night for some food. There was a live band playing and an entry charge, wasn't expecting that! Looks like a neat place, but we didn't want to fight for a table for some food, will try back again on a quieter day. 4 stars for the atmosphere and friendly staff. read more

I found this place exploring the area around my hotel. My husband & I had an early dinner here, so we missed the music that is a major part of the identity of Sam Bonds. My dinner salad was very fresh with a tasty house made dressing. My husband had the Mediterranean plate (hummus, olives, tabouli, pita, etc.), which was good with the exception of the bland hummus--desperately needed garlic. My husband loved the agave mead and I had a basic chardonnay. Our bill for a dinner salad, appetizer, and 2 drinks each was over $40...quite expensive for a hole in the wall. read more

Definitely a lowkey place to chill. I like the cozy feel. Also those vegan cookies, HOLY SHIT. AMAZING

I don't make it over there very often, but when I get a craving for hummus (of all things!) this is where I go. They make the most amazing pita bread-free platter for me, it just makes me, an avowed carnivore, happier than hell to munch away at veggies and some cheese. Drinks are good and strong, everyone who works there seems to genuinely enjoy their job and the atmosphere is lots of fun. read more

We went for dinner and the food was great but it took almost an hour. We ordered hummus & pita as an appetizer (which arrived with dinner), 2 sandwiches, and 4 slices of pizza. There was only 1 person Working in the kitchen, so maybe they were behind. I would have been more forgiving if our appetizer had arrived sometime within that hour window... Low priced beer and pizza by the slice! Over all a good experience and I would probably go again. read more

The food is decent and the place could be cleaner. Bingo on Monday nights is a good time just show up 3 hrs early if you want to sit at a table. The live music is pretty good except when they're acoustic then you can't hear the songs. read more

Good drinks, decent snacks, good place to hang out with friends and entertaining shows. I think the music can be hit or miss, depending on which night you attend, but Bingo is always fun. They just built a patio outside so I'll stop by soon to see how that feels, but I am always looking for more restaurants with outdoor seating! One other thing - it can be hard (and sometimes downright awkward) to come with a big group of people if you don't get there ahead of time. Perhaps the additional seating will help with this problem. read more

What a great find here in Eugene, the food was good, the beer was great and the eclectic scene was note worthy. I will make this a regular stop when I come to Eugene. I had salad and slice of pizza, this was very good. The comedy on stage was a fun and unexpected laugh. read more

I love Sam Bonds. I have been going there with my family, primarily my dad since I was little, and so I know very waiter/ waitress and most customers there. Although Sam Bonds is a bad, it is very kid-friendly, and they have a very homey, comfortable, Eugene vibe. Their food is also quite rich and delicious. I recommend Sam Bonds to anyone who enjoys a restaurant that makes them feel at home! read more
