Bread, butter and drinks.
Doug M.

I travel to Eugene a lot and am always looking for new restaurants to try...and had heard about Tavern on Main in Springfield and thought I wound give it a try. The place is located in a very cool space in the downtown area...and the wife and I arrived without a reservation but were greeted promptly and seared at a nice table. We both ordered drinks and food...service was pleasant but slow...it appears they had just one (maybe two?) servers for the restaurant and it was quite busy for a Wednesday evening. The wife and I both ordered the bread as an appetizer-- and the steak frites as a main entree. Bread came very quick...and was good. It came with a tasty butter that was also good...but we were not given and napkins (or utensils) and because the server was so busy it was difficult getting her attention...as you can see from the photo I ended up using my shirt as a napkin. The steak took some time but came out at the correct temp (med-rate) and presented well. It was very tender and a good portion...but we both felt it lacked seasoning. It was fine but not special. Fries were fine as well. The entire meal with bread, drinks and tip was $100...these days that is very fair. Overall we both felt this was a good dinner but nothing really stood out as special.

Tiny Ms. Bond's Vesper shot at $17

Was out and about last Friday and since I've been here before I decided to stop for lunch. The interior is nice and booths are comfortable. My server was prompt and attentive, and appeared to be the only server on duty. I ordered Ms. Bond's Vesper shot- Aviation gin, vodka, Cocchi Rosa, Dolin Blanc, grapefruit twist, served with a bump of caviar on a golden spoon. The drink was surprisingly spicy, and the tiny bit of caviar served on a golden spoon was delicious. I was in the mood for a tuna melt so I ordered it from their lunch menu. Boy was I disappointed. The bread looked like two pieces of Texas toast with about 2 tablespoons of extremely mushed up tuna salad that was not spread out to the edges of the sandwich. I did like the spicy bit of red pepper that was in the sandwich. there was a very small piece of very thin American cheese that was not even melted. I normally love tuna melts, but not this one. The pomme frites were good. The next time I'm in Springfield for lunch, I will try a different restaurant.

Happy accident to happen upon this place. It was super quiet and clean. The lunch menu affordable with a variety of options you don't see everywhere like the sausage platter and lobster sliders. Everything we had was delicious. The staff was very friendly. I would definitely come here vs some of the noisier neighbors.

Decided to come here for dinner, first time with friends. Glad we had reservations as when we got here, it was super busy! Enjoyed the interior and art deco theme. Fun place for downtown Springfield. I enjoyed my Steak Frites. Everyone else had a Smash burger which they enjoyed. We also enjoyed the charcuterie, very tasty. The drink menu is a lot of fun, with some great options. I enjoyed trying their cocktails and the cute glasses they served them in. They did have a dessert menu but since we were all full, we opted out. Will go back for sure! Enjoyed this little piece of downtown Springfield. Fun to see nightlife come alive here.

Best pretzel and beer cheese ever!
Mel H.

You know how it is usually the pretzel or the cheese....but never both....well we got the holy grail of pretzels and beer cheese at the Tavern on Main in Springfield....rumor is they are removing it...so run over there now! We also had the wedge salad with steak (excellent) and the peach drink with bourbon...also great. I had red wine which was a perfect addition to the meal. Service and atmosphere are top notch.

Squash blossoms.

The elote corn was the best we've ever had! So yummy! The service was excellent and we also had the squash blossoms and they were amazing!

Really really want this place to be better. They fake it really well. The service is really great and the atmosphere is awesome and lively. We went here for our anniversary because it's where our first date was. We put a note that we wanted the tomahawk on our reservation, that we made weeks ago. We were told when we got there that they no longer serve them even though it's still on the menu and we noted it in our reservation. That was a bummer. They did greet us with a glass of champagne. Which was very nice! The food. It's just ok. The beet dip wasn't too exciting in flavor. The harissa was very mild. And, we had a ton of dip left after we were out of flatbread. The salad with burrata was very disjointed. There was way too many greens, and the burrata really didn't make sense on this dish. It was screaming blue cheese, or shaved pecorino. I was expecting a plate of beets with a whole ball of decadent burrata (not half, sort of dry cheese...which is what we got) the steak was cooked well. This was the only way I could get a steak, which we had come for, by adding to one of their salads. They do have streak Frites. I was just really not interested in fries. All in all, I think this restaurant is just ok. I really do enjoy the atmosphere. I think I have just concluded that this place is probably awesome to someone not so food savvy. If you are a foodie, this really isn't going to hit all of the buttons.

See all

We had the fish and chips for lunch. Fish was dry and everything was way to salty. Not much of a lunch menu to pick from.

The profile looked pretty cool so we decided to go there for a drink. Once inside, it was pretty dark which is typical for a Tiki Bar. The decor was very good and there was a lot of it around. My fave was the mermaid skeleton above our seats. The drinks options were plentiful and they even had jello shots for a bargain price (we had a few of these for good measure!). I had The Monkey's Paw classic drink and another in our party had The Invisible Man drink. Each was lovingly prepared by the bartender who was super cool with the prep and conversations we had with him. I loved walking around and looking at all the decor on the walls and ceiling. There's a lot to see. There's even a door that leads to a courtyard with several food trucks ready to serve you. There is a stage near the entrance for bands and a small dance floor. I would love to return one evening to check out the atmosphere and do a little boogeying! Give this place a try. It's a well done Tiki Bar and one of the better ones I've been to.

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.

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!

I liked it. I was the only one there at the time I stopped in and the wait person was very attentive and welcoming... I no sooner finished my last swallow of beer and he was there offering me a refill and when he brought the refill he was attentive enough to wipe up where the previous beer had sat on the table... very nice, eh? And check this out they had cloth napkins even, nice touch... ;) Their food: I had a burger with tots, the burger I thought was a bit dry but good flavor and the tots were cooked just right. The place was very clean, swept up and happy. The background music was a mix of Marty Robbins, Tennessee Ernie Ford and others from that era. Bathroom was nice and clean and well stocked. There was a gal there, maybe the owner or something, she saw the "Vietnam Vet" patch I was wearing and bought me a beer and thanked me for my service... Very sweet of her I thought. Thanks for a great lunch, folks, I will be back!

The Skybar is located on the 5th floor of the building along with the Hotel lobby... uh okay. The staff are all very pleasant and accommodating. We went to the SkyBar and found it to be a smallish yet convenient place to wait for guests or visitors along with getting a drink or a bite to eat. The bar looks like it can accommodate about 30 people in the interior. There is a nice outdoor patio that can easily accommodate more when the weather is nice. The barkeeper was very attentive and observant, he took our food and drink requests at the bar and in short order, everything was presented. I had a Moscow Mule that I found to be a refreshing drink. Ginger beer, lime and vodka. An excellent combination. I also had an order of the chicken wings and fries. The fries were a normal shoestring variety, cooked well, nicely salted and came in a metal bowl. The wings I found to be outstanding! I don't usually get wings this well made unless I do it myself. I received 8 wings coated with barbecue sauce on a charcuterie board with the fries. The wings were served nicely hot. The meat was piping hot, juicy and tender. The barbecue coating was a hearty middle of the road sauce, not sweet or too smoky. It was caramelized perfectly for that sticky texture and flavor. Definitely a nice coating. Thankfully the bartender brought us a lot of napkins. The wings and fries made for a satisfying meal. The bar boasts a couple of gas fireplaces that make for a warming environment with a few semi private tables. There is a longer table for a larger group as well as several smaller tables and a few bar stools for game watching. All in all we found the bar to be a cozy semi-private environment, yet available to the guests as they come and go. All around, a nice meeting area and watering hole. We will book our family members for a stay here at the hotel. I'm looking forward to trying more of their specialty drinks.

With that said, it was very challenging to find modern songs as there were numerous songs that were not in English and some of the English songs were actually in a totally different style than what we are used to hearing here in the US. So if you are expecting karaoke like you would have in the local bar this is not the place. The karaoke rooms are large with plenty of couches and seating, there's a big screen that displays videos and the words, you're given two microphones and there's some fun lighting that happens. During our time there the air conditioner was not working in our room so it became really hot, but they moved us to another room which was really nice. We were there during karaoke happy hour which was $15 per person per hour so it does add up pretty quickly. Also, we were there on a Friday evening and we were the only ones there, when I asked the attendant at the front desk if this is normal, she said they're not very busy on the weekends but during the week they're very busy with the Asian population. They do sell alcohol, but it's a very limited menu, they did offer a magnum of Cook's champagne at $38 a bottle, which was steep, but what made it not worth it was the fact that it was room temperature. I don't think this is an establishment I will visit again, but I do wish them well as they put a lot of thought and money into their karaoke establishment.
