When the rest of the world closed, the Big Dirty opened! They remain open to the entire community with vibrant energy on tap. Miss the festivals? Miss the concerts? Miss the dancing? The Big Dirty is here with a whole friggin scene. ... and yes that is the actual Earth stage from the Eclipse Festival... and yes the entire place is a collaborative work of art... and yes it does make me feel like I am partying inside a pinball machine. This place is absolutely the most lit venue I've ever entered.

There are nights you plan... and then there are nights that just happen to you. This was the…read morelatter, and it all went down at Cowfish Dance Club. Now look I'm the first to admit, I'm not exactly out here breaking it down on the dance floor. I say it all the time: "I'm too old for this." And yet somehow, like clockwork, I keep ending up in places like this, drink in hand, wondering how I got here and more importantly, how long I can survive. We roll in, no real plan. Just one of those rainy Eugene nights where the air feels like trouble and bad decisions. Dinner? Solid. Drinks? Flowing like someone forgot to install brakes. We even ran into some friends, which always turns a simple night into a full-blown episode. And then... things got weird. In the best possible way. At some point, I look up and there are these gals glowing glowing painted in neon like a scene out of some underground rave documentary. Black lights hitting just right, bodies moving, maybe outfits, maybe not outfits... honestly, I couldn't tell you. And I'm standing there thinking, "Either this place is incredible... or whatever I just drank has officially taken the wheel." Probably both. The music? Off the hook. DJs knew exactly what they were doing pulling people in, keeping them there. The lights, the energy, the whole setup it delivers exactly what it promises. It's a full-send kind of place. Not pretending to be anything else. We were there maybe an hour... maybe two. Hard to say. Time doesn't exactly behave normally in a place like this. Now I'll be real this is probably a young person's playground. College town vibes, full throttle: a little bit of chaos, a little bit of freedom, a whole lot of "we'll deal with it tomorrow." But here's the thing... I had a damn good time. Even if I can't dance. Even if I don't quite belong. Even if I woke up the next day piecing together memories like a detective on a budget. Because for a few hours, it didn't matter. Shoutout to the staff friendly, on point, keeping things moving. The whole place runs like it knows exactly what it is and doesn't apologize for it. And honestly? Respect. So yeah maybe this isn't my everyday scene. But I'm glad I went. It was wild, it was funny, it was just disorienting enough to be unforgettable. And for one night, I felt like a kid again.

I love cow fish. In fact it's my favorite dancing spot. I was harassed last night by the evil…read moredoorman who was charging people. He yelled at me and called me a bitch and said I have one brain cell. He told me to fuck off because I tried to bring in a non alcoholic lemonade because I have diabetes and I have to carry sugar with me. Granted I could have gotten the lemonade at cow fish but i had already experienced a low blood sugar earlier that night so I had the drink with me. The bartender and the DJs are always so sweet and friendly. Just wanted to say how badly this guy sucks.

I came back after many years , remembering when this was the place for cheap well drinks…read more Not anymore. Two well greyhounds $14. That's too much.

I could not believe how awful the service was. It's worth prefacing that I am usually pretty…read moreunderstanding of mistakes in restaurant service. However, an hour and a half into our stay, we were still waiting on two of our dishes. We communicated to the waitress what dishes we were missing (nicely, we weren't belligerent about it). Apparently there was a misunderstanding, because shortly after, the hostess came over said that it was the waitresses second day and to "lay off her". How she felt we were being rude, Idk but that wasn't the intention, we just wanted the food we ordered, and didn't explicitly blame the waitress. We received another one of our dishes, while the last dish wasn't brought to us until we left. We had to seek out a waitress or bar tender for everything, our checks, napkins, and our food. We were never checked on for refills or how the meal was going. However, we weren't acting upset about this, we were honestly just in grossed in our own conversations, with the occasional "I wonder where our food is" comment. On our way out, we were unceremoniously told we were not welcome back, which again completely caught us off guard, and I suspect there must have been a misunderstanding. It completely ruined the night for us, and I will happily never return. Food was fine, the atmosphere is cool if somewhat undercut by the hostile service. If the owners hope to keep their customers, they should avoid banning their paying customers over miscommunication.

Maybe I am a little picky, I just found it hard to find anything that sounded appealing. We settled on sharing some BBQ wings, which had a decent flavor. Nothing to write home about, or rush here for. I also decided on a French dip, which comes with horse radish. I figured you can't go wrong with that. Definitely a nope! I sent it back. I am not a person who sends food back, or complains about food. I just could not eat it, it was so bad. I had to have my guy even try a bite to make sure it wasn't my post 2023 Covid mishaps taking over. ( I can't eat certain foods, or tastes certain foods.) it wasn't that, because that is usually just eggs, bacon, and chicken it happens with. And he also agreed, the meat tasted weird. Not bad, just weird. Like what is it? Not even the horseradish was helping. Thankfully we were not charged. Our friend liked his clam chowder bowl, and cheesecake. Hopefully the other restaurants here are better.
