Mike G.

The french fries were delicious and the service is great. Super and friendly staff. The burger has great combination of flavors, but patty itself is a hockey puck. I got the recommended Bacon Blue Burger. I think if the burger came out you juicy, not overdone, it would have been pretty good. Very dry. I really like the atmosphere. Great patio with lots of people. I like the feel of the bar. This is the kind of place I like to come.

French dip with prime rib
Stephanie M.

I actually really like this place. Sort of an interesting location being where the 99 meets the highway entrance right at the edge of downtown... parking entrances on either side. First time (a couple years ago) we visited was taco Wednesday. They were delicious. I also got finger steaks that night but I wasn't terribly impressed with those. We knew we liked it that night but then didn't go back again until this week. Darn it we should've. I really enjoy the food here. Environment is really a bar. But the booths for eating are nice. There's a patio that is well used in nicer weather. Sports on TV's throughout the location. Darts, pool, etc are available... I like the variety of appetizers. We got fried zucchini this time but they have tots, fries, hummus, fried mozzarella, mac n cheese wedges, mini chimichangas, nachos (which I hear are fantastic but I couldn't eat by myself and no one else wanted with me). Fried zucchini are crispy... small little things kinda like fries and were very very good! Dad got the Hog burger this time and it was fairly disappointing. Only it did have all the toppings (burger, ham, pulled pork, bacon and cheese) just was short for all the toppings lol the flavor was awesome so that's good... we just expected it to be an inch thick lol Mom good the French dip. It was tender, has great flavor and a good portion of meat. The au jus had a bit of an onion flavor which was yummy. The side salads with both that and the burger were fresh and a pretty good portion. The blue cheese dressing was good as well. I got the philly cheesesteak... primarily because they use the cream cheese as is properly done in philly. Iasked for mushrooms which they happily added. I wish there was more, I wish they put mushrooms on it automatically, and I wish they had a cheese sauce not sliced swiss cheese. The meat was the same for this one. It's like prime rib I think. Thin sliced. I got tots... and they were delicious. I also got an order of mini corn dogs to go. Those were great too. Service was fantastic from both the chef, who brought out our food, and the server. She was friendly and upbeat. It was very busy so once we wanted to order it took awhile to get assistance again but just know it's a bar and so if people are ordering and needing drink service, they will be served first ya know? Wish I had come here more before I moved away...

Bloody Mary minus a few ounces.
Kim D.

Finally had a chance to stop in (kid free) so I decided to imbibe in a Sunday a Bloody Mary. $6.50 for a nicely spiced, not to tomato heavy, olive and green bean dressed cocktail. Small football crowd (49'er), good seating, nice staff and the fries were tasty, a little spendy but cheaper than the $8.75 wimpy grease soaked ones from McMeniman's.

Enjoying a smoke at Good Times.

As a cigar smoking jerk, I can't get enough of this place. The ample smoking area provides room for men who smoke cigars and for whiners who sit in smoking areas and later bitch about it.

Great outdoor space. Two fire place tables, overhead heaters, a pool table on the patio.

See all

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 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!

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.
