Reading the reviews we were expecting a real hole in the wall. This place is great! Walk in and there are TVs everywhere. Each booth even has its own tv. We had the breakfast menu for the 10am game. Tons of options. We got a half order of biscuit and gravy (it was good but a little more herby than I care for a breakfast gravy). Next was the pancakes, eggs and bacon & French toast, eggs and bacon. The eggs were a little too wet for our liking but not bad. Bacon was perfectly crispy. French toast and pancakes were good - they had a cinnamon esque taste. Bloody Mary's were amazing! Pickled asparagus & beans in it. Yes! Also they had a sour beer from Backside Brewing that was awesome. The service was great - very attentive and always checking in. Honestly not sure why the reviews are so low - we had a great time here and it exceeded our expectations. read more

Food was very expensive. $14.50 for a basket of onion rings?!?! Seriously? Drinks were weak. And they charged me $0.75 extra for something I ordered to go. There were 4 of us dining in and I ordered one thing to take home to my son. The food was good. It was just outrageously expensive for what it was. read more

Side Bar - Potato skins $22. Onion rings $14.50. They were good. But $36.50 for this meal? - Sports Bars Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Great place! Was a little skeptical when we showed up to a strip mall but when the establishment was the whole strip mall we went in and the food, drinks and employees were all fantastic! Highly recommend Side Bar read more

The breakfast yogurt bowl here is so good! Greek yogurt, granola, honey, almonds and fresh fruit. One of the best yogurt bowls around!

Mediocre service, very overpriced food, weird/unpleasant atmosphere. Gets elevated to 3 stars because they have a room dedicated to Niners games. read more

This is a great place for not only a nice cold drink but also they have great a breakfast and lunch menu. They have tons of tvs with tvs in all of the booths.

I've really only gone here after Oregon duck games, so probably not a true sample of the whole business. After games, the service is awful, most employees look like they don't want to be there. Plan extra time. Food is average and it's very loud. read more

We went to this bar for karaoke. We're not big drinkers, so we ordered some food along with a glass of wine. The food was great and reasonably priced, and the service was also good. The bar is in a safe location and looks clean and well-maintained. We each sang one song and had a great time. read more

Totally enjoyed our lunch there today. The service was excellent. Our waitress stopped by our table numerous times to see how things were. My husband got the poutine ( French fry's topped cheese curds and gravy), which was excellent, he said. (Sorry didn't get a picture). I chose the 3 chicken tacos, and they were delicious. They are good size for $2.50 and could only eat 2 of them. The other one came home with me though. The place was clean and tidy. Not loud at all, but it wasn't packed either. We timed it right because quite a few people were coming in as we were leaving. read more

Side Bar - Taco Tuesday's special. 3 tacos at $2.50 each. These were chicken, and very good. Loved the salsa too! - Sports Bars Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

My husband and I love Sunday breakfast/brunch but hate how long wait times can be because ~shocker~ everyone else also loves Sunday breakfast/brunch. I think we've finally found a spot where we can avoid all that! We always assumed Side Bar was just a sports bar (which it is) but it also offers food (thank you Yelp!). There were plenty of other people when we arrived, but we were able to find a table immediately. They have a good amount of options on the menu along with fun breakfast cocktails. We ultimately decided to split the Eggs Benedict (it had a unique cilantro-lime hollandaise sauce that was delicious) and the Stuffed French Toast (they use rosemary focaccia bread which is also a fun twist! This would have been way too sweet and rich though if we hadn't split it). Overall, delicious and we'll be back! read more

This place is my little hidden gem for brunch on the weekends! When you need good food without the long wait or crowding of your usual brunch spot come here. I've always had good service and I love that's it's more empty in the mornings/early afternoons since it's mainly marketed as a bar. They have something for everyone on the menu. We got the Monte Cristo, Stuffed French Toast and Prime Rib Eggs Benedict. The Monte Cristo is a turkey, ham, cheddar and swiss sandwich dunked in egg batter, fried & then sprinkled with powdered sugar. Berry sauce comes on the side making it the perfect combo of super savory and sweet! The Stuffed French Toast comes with a cream cheese berry sauce in the middle and fresh berries on top. The Prime Rib Eggs Benedict was the special and came with a house made hollandaise sauce. Everything was super tasty and quick to come out. I also ordered a side of their bacon because I like my bacon super crispy, but not burnt and they always do it perfect. Definitely check them out! read more

Went to Side Bar after a long week & they had Clam Chowder as their soup! So good! I needed the lovely soup to end my regular work week. Go try all of their soups! They are the best..... And as always, their crew is great. read more

Ambiance was not pleasant. Sat at the bar, about 2:30pm on a Sunday. Every person around me had drunk A LOT of alcohol. Food prices make me choke. Stayed for two beers and a side salad, it tasted good. Service - meh. read more

I don't know why this place gets such low reviews. For a bar it's wonderful! You get sports, good food, strong drinks and video poker. I have found the service prompt. I am not sure about the reviews that speak to slow service. I have always been approached within five minutes. And the food is good. If a bar can do a good salad (and they can) the rest of the food will be ok. They have a great selection of appetizers, salads, sandwhiches, wraps, burgers, pasta and other entrees. They also do brunch on the weekends. If you want a casual spot with good food and drinks, come here. This is my favorite bar in town. read more

Man oh man. First time here. Was excited to check it out.. but damn was it a bummer of an experience. Walk in & sit at the middle of the bar.. three bartenders walk past me numerous times and finally after 10 minutes, I'm asked if i want a drink. (They aren't crazy busy at all) Order my drink and burger right then. About 25-30 minutes go by and the bartender who took my order sees me eyeballing the kitchen, and proceeds to check on my order for me. Comes back and says "it's the next ticket." I say "alright cool, i appreciate it." Another 10-15 minutes go by, a different bartender asks "want another beer?" I respond "no thanks, but i'd like my burger that i ordered 40+ minutes ago." They now go check on it in the kitchen and come back with "it's the next ticket" I responded "that's what the other bartender told me over 10 minutes ago" They reply "idk, that's just what i saw when I checked." ANOTHER 10-15minutes go by.. my food finally arrives. Football game is over at this point. (I arrived during the 3rd quarter mind you) I immediately ask for a box and the check. No apologies, no comps, not anything. I still tipped 17% because i'm not a shit human, but damn I probably shouldn't have. Poor service all around! Sure the burger was decent, but the fries were cold! read more

This place is the best sports bar around! It offers great food, great service, amazing drinks, and lots of TVs to choose from to watch whatever game, match, or fight you want to watch. read more

In from out of town last night...First I saw a bartender who was working at Docs Pad when I visited before. He recognized me, gave me a hug and is such a great guy & bartender! It was nice to see him at this sweet Karoake spot! Then the gal also working being the bar impressed us with her great service & attitude... not to mention when I told her that I wasn't feeling safe with a situation, she completely had my back. The teriyaki wings were amazing as well! Thank you for a great night! read more

I wanted to give 5 stars. I feel like right now it's hard to judge a business with staffing and supply chain issues. It seemed like they were out of ham and had to substitute lunch meat in my egged Benedict. The food came lukewarm but really, it all tasted good! The Bloody Mary was awesome! I'll give it a few more tries! read more

Food is decent. Atmosphere is basic sports bar. This is a real local watering hole which is great but servers are completely oblivious to the fact they need to look around and serve people! They're so busy doing their side work you have to literally yell at them or just go up to the bar to reorder. Not my first time here. Not my last time but Jeez. C'mon. read more

The young girl with the mismatched hair is so rude. I've been in several times & her attitude is the same. I won't be back again.

Love this place! So clean and has a great beer selection, which is served super cold and makes me so happy. Best part is, the food is actually really damn good. BUT, you have to come when Adan is cooking! He treats his food like it's something he would serve to people he cares about. The presentation is beautiful, the meat is perfect and not at all dry, the flavors are bomb and you can tell he knows what he's doing. I had the best French Dip with my mom and today and even got blue cheese on the side that had extra cheese to top it off. The little details do matter. Our waiter was also very helpful and nice. The food steals the show though. Totally unexpected from a sports bar kind of place. Now it's a place you can go and enjoy a meal, even with your family! read more

Side Bar - French Dip! Even had gooey cheese!!! - Sports Bars Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

This place is as average as it comes. Nothing special about the tap list just the usually choices. The glasses were also kinda warm which was bad. But the main reason why I'm only giving it two stars was the service and food. The service was extremely slow and rude. It was a Sunday night and kinda busy. She probably didn't expect the rush I'll give her that but she questioned everything we ordered and wasn't confident on how long things would take. For the food we ordered a few appetizers. Motzerilla sticks, nachos, bruschetta and jalapeño poppers. The motzerilla sticks were by far the best. The ranch was also Homemade and great. No complaints. The nachos basic, nothing special and kinda boring, needed jalapeños and avocados. Bruschetta, a very interesting choice for bar food and it was just okay again. Tomatos needed to be cut smaller, and needed more seasoning. Also the bread choice was not it. And now for the jalapeno poppers, I usually love these and when I think of jalapeño poppers I think of fried goodness but nope. These are wrapped in meat and not even fried. I guess I could have read the description but they should stick to the classic style And not try to go fancy with it. Served Luke warm as well. Will not be back. read more

The Side Bar deserves a re-review. I know it's not a huge bump, but i'll move mine up to 3.5 stars. I was in here during the NBA All Star game with a friend of mine. We came down to watch the game and grab some food and brews. Side Bar is great for a medium sized crowd. They have booths with ample seating, spots at the bar, and then they have some tables that sit in the middle of the floor separating the booths from the bar. We sat at the tables so we could have a good view of the game on the big screen. All was well, but the most frustrating part of this visit was that we had to watch the game with no sound at all. Don't get it twisted, I often watch football/basketball with no sound at all, it's certainly not needed. But when I go somewhere, or if I sit down to fully watch a game, I want to listen to the damn thing. We asked for the sound to be turned on, but they had a documentary on Bo Jackson on, and that had all the audio. I'm a fan of Bo Jackson, the man's a legend! But can we please listen/watch the All Star game? The food was decent, I ordered the Black and Bleu burger with fries. There was a heaping pile of bleu cheese on my burger, and a huge pile of fries served on the side. The fries are awesome may I add. Somewhat of a twisted/pealed spud that is much larger than your everyday average fry. The beer selection could be a little more, but they have Boneyard IPA on tap, and as long as they have that, i'll never bitch or complain. I actually had the chance to come here again last week with some co-workers and we all had a really good time in the Copa Room! ( A 5 star trip may I add) If you're not sure what the Copa Room is, it's a private room that you access 'through' the phone booth in the other side of the bar. It's a pretty cool concept, and it fit 12-14 of us just fine. When you rent out the private room, you get your own bar and bar tender. It has 1 large screen TV and a monitor so you can see who is trying to enter the Copa room when it's locked. The server we had was a great guy, really attentive, and did a good job of making fruity drinks for the fruity taste buds. (I dont have Fruity tastebuds, but my co-workers do. One guy described his "Ninja Turtle" as a Magical waterfall...I'll take another IPA please) I really do want to give this place 4 stars, but I can't say, "I'm a fan!" I can certainly say that it's, "A-OK", I think if service was a little more on par for those who are walk-ins, that they would have a lot more business than they currently do. Service is always the asterisk when coming here. read more

Before Covid I used to be a regular at the Side Bar, but the virus wasn't kind to me and now I'm using a wheelchair. I went back today for the first time since getting the chair, and found that the place wasn't as accessible as during my ambulatory days. Still, the staff bent over backwards to find a lower-level folding table and frequently checked on me to make sure I had everything I needed without having to chase anyone down. Even the other customers were helpful, holding doors for me and moving their chairs so I could get to the restroom. All in all it was outstanding and the food and beer were just as great as I remembered. Thanks for making my first outing in my wheelchair such a positive and encouraging experience! I will definitely be a regular again. read more

My coworker and I sat at a table and were passed by multiple servers and even bartenders over the course of an hour+. We were not asked if we wanted food or drink, refills, etc. My coworker opened her tab and only had 1 drink ordered when we called it a night. There were multiple tables getting food and drink refilled, but not ours. The atmosphere was LOUD and there were too many TVs and so much going on, it was not very enjoyable. read more

Great spot to spend a NFL Sunday. Side Bar has the Sunday Ticket package, and their booths all have individual TV's so you can watch whatever game you want, how epic is that?! It gets better, they have early HH on Sunday's as well, food and drink specials so affordable, I can't mention them here. When you go, be sure to get their pulled pork sandwiches (so tasty); either on the happy hour menu, or on top of their signature bloody mary. read more

Sidebar is a fine bar usually packed with Eugene locals. Friday nights they do karaoke which is probably the only day worth going; however, the man that runs karaoke seemingly recruits his posse every Friday night that allow him to be featured in almost every song that is played. This creates an atmosphere where anyone who isn't part of that this posse has to wait over an hour to get a slot. He won't let you sing a song that is a little longer than the duration of a normal one, but is happy to jump on the mic with his friends for 4 songs in a row. If you plan to attend karaoke on a Friday I would recommend Monkey's Paw in Springfield. Food is mediocre and drinks are fine. read more

I came here because it was the only place we could find with the NFL game we were looking for. I quickly read the reviews and got a bit nervous because of all the bad ones. My experience here was actually great and my boyfriend and I will for sure be back! It's really nice inside, lots of seating, tons of TVs! Our server was so nice and recommended different beers on tap. We ordered the nachos as a snack while we watched the game and let me say....BEST nachos I've had in a LONG time! Had some type of melted delicious queso nacho cheese under a bunch of great toppings. If anything I'll be back for the nachos! We did have a really annoying man sitting alone right next to us that didn't wanna leave us alone... But I can definitely look past that hahah read more

Friendly staff, very well made mixed drinks, and the food was beyond tasty. Had a wonderdul time with my husband and would go back again. Only reason for the 4 star review, is that the employees would take off their masks behind the bar, then put it back on to help a customer and not wash their hands. I'm in the serving business with my families winery and as someone who touches other peoples food/plates, I'd be ticked to see an employee do that during this time. read more

we went to the side bar Tuesday waited 45 minutes for a plate of nachos ordered some food an hour later the food has still not showed up but they did try to bill me for it even though it was not my tab once we questioned the short blonde waitress. She got very rude with us, we used to go there every single Monday night but after the terrible service and a very lousy wait staff, we will never be back read more

This is a fun sports bar . Service is great even when busy, the server kept checking in with us and letting us know food would be coming soon. Their house salad is one of my favorites with cranberries & almond w/ balsamic vinaigrette as well as the hummus plate, but they also have killer burgers and sandwiches. Check this place out. Minors are allowed also, so we can bring the teenagers with us to watch the game. read more

Great beef and shrimp tacos! Seasoned well and the shells were flour lightly toasted. I loved the crisp cabbage and beans in it with yummy salsa. Austin did a good job taking care of us. It was nice day and we sat by the open roll up door. $3.00 Beer was cold. read more

Has anyone noticed how some bars and restaurants have it pretty well together and handling the COVID Phase I and Phase II reopening regs and requirements pretty well and some are not? .Sidebar is NOT. The first thing you notice is the massive bar to ceiling plexiglass barrier dividing the bar and the bar stools that some places are putting in place. This particular one is very poorly installed, crooked, and has openings in places. Between the ambient bar noise, the barrier, and the mask on the bartender you can't hear a thing. So.. you have to walk to the side of the barrier to place an order. Boy oh boy.. good thing we have all that glass to protect us! The barrier is something they will get right with time. That is, if the bartender and wait staff don't completely chase people off. I found both of them to be overtly stressed and generally unfriendly when they greeted me. After getting my beer, I went into the other room to read the paper and realized that the booth was too dark, so I moved to the next one. The waitress didn't like that at all and read me the riot act. I politely said I couldn't see my paper and had to get closer to the door. She then went on to explain in her experience, once people change booths they keep doing it. Really? It should be noted that I was alone in this room and she thought I was going to sit at every table? Regardless, this isn't something you give your customer a lecture about. After going to get the bar rag, she probably spent 2 minutes "sanitizing" and served me without a smile for the rest of my stay, not that she was friendly to start with. Overall, this is one of those small bars twhere a good staff can can make a difference, the difference made in my visit wasn't good. I'd pass on this place and head down to Bangers and Mash 1/4 mile down the road. read more

Our experience started with walking into a busy room, so we were told to wait outside to order since they were at capacity. What made me upset is that we were outside seated since they said they were at capacity but other people behind us did the same thing and got seating inside first. We got our drinks and the waitress spilled the drink accidentally. The food was delicious though! read more

I go to this place because it's close to my house and it has wifi and electrical outlets to charge my laptop. I have ignored the overpriced food and terrible service for months, but it is time to find a new place. I get totally ignored by the staff all of the time and no one else is even in the restaurant. It stops today. No more tolerance of lackluster service and no more overpaying for sub par food. read more

This is our second time coming to The Sidebar for breakfast, and they did not disappoint! We will be coming back for sure. The food was phenomenal, and service even better! Best part is that minors are allowed all day and it's a very nice environment. Our kiddo would recommend the French toast with caramel sauce;) read more
