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.

My entire trip was planned around a show at Campbell Club. I live a very busy life and made a lot…read moreof changes in order to make this work, all because this show had been on their calendar for weeks. Then, less than a week before the event, they admitted they had double-booked the date because they put it on the wrong day in their calendar. That's fine. Sometimes things like that just happen. Instead of making it right, they wanted the band that booked first to move their show to 2:00 in the afternoon on a Thursday. That's ridiculous. People weren't traveling to Eugene to watch an afternoon set while they're at work. The band tried to work with them. They suggested combining the shows, asked to talk it through, and then got ignored. After that, when people started calling out how badly this was handled, the response from the venue wasn't an apology--it was telling people to "eat shit." That's honestly what changed this from a scheduling mistake into a venue I don't want to support. Everyone screws up sometimes. Most businesses own it and try to fix it. Campbell Club chose to insult the very people who were trying to bring customers through their doors. If you're planning to travel for a show here, I'd think twice. I won't be making that mistake again. Also-- their Instagram says they are a nonprofit organization, it's not.

I made travel arrangements, booked a hotel, and planned a trip specifically to attend a show at…read moreCampbell Club. Less than a week before the event, the venue informed the local band that they had accidentally double-booked the date. According to the band's shared messages, the venue had the incorrect date in its calendar and didn't realize the mistake until the last minute--even though the event had been advertised on their website for over a month. The proposed solution was to ask the band to play earlier in the day as part of a festival, which is not what anyone had planned or paid to attend. It's a Thursday. Nobody's going to see a show at 2pm. Mistakes happen, but waiting until people have already spent money on hotels, travel, and time off before announcing a cancellation is unacceptable. This especially hurts local bands that rely on these opportunities and the fans who support them. I understand accidents happen, but communication and accountability matter. Based on this experience, I can't recommend this venue and won't be planning future trips around events hosted here.

Traveling for work and was looking for a place for something to eat with a lively atmosphere. Found…read moreon Facebook that Macs restaurant ( also known as the old Vets building to locals) was having blues/ jazz this night. I hopped on yelp to check out reviews of where I was considering... very mixed as well as dated. So decided to try anyway. Was so happy I did. So if you're looking for an upscale fancy dinner this is not your place. But it is elevated bar food. I had the flatbread bbq chicken pizza. Crust nice and crunchy with so much topping the crust had a hard time supporting it when you picked it up to eat. The previous yelp reviews said they waited forever for food. I found the service above average. The restaurant set up is very much like a Lyons's hall. A bar with lots of tables around randomly and of various sizes. So I walked to the bar to find out if I needed to be seated or just help myself. The bartender stated to sit anywhere I wanted. I told her I was interested in food as well so she handed me a menu. I asked if I needed to come to the bar to order and was told I would be waited on. BC of previous reviews I timed stuff. 3 min after sitting at a random table I was acknowledged and told she would be right back. 1 min later she was asking what I wanted to eat and if I wanted anything to drink. The food menu did not have wine only beer and soda. There is a separate menu for wine. Stella, my waitress was back momentarily with that. After placing my order food arrived within 10 min. Nothing like the horrible service I had read about in previous reviews. Thanks Stella for the awesome service! I will be back The music was a bunch of locals that have been playing together for years and good at it. Era of music was chuck berry, Otis Redding, and some of there own work ( Rooster Blues) Even though this was a Thursday night jam session I felt included. People very friendly and personal

So they sat us at the big 10-12 top with a group of un-known people. Well I could fit at the table my handicapped partner was separated from me wedged in between a wall and a huge Dog Kennel with dog inside! Far from what we had planned. Sitting there waiting for someone to at least come take our order... Hell no, they only serve tables with reservations! Which we DID have. After 30 minutes of watching others get help. I said PHUCK this! Never again....

This is our favorite place to hear live music. It's casual and rustic and not full of itself…read more There's plenty of tables to sit with friends and enjoy a drink (the bartenders can actually make good drinks) or a beer. The food options are great. Sandwiches, hummus plate, soft pretzel, soup, and slices of pizza. Vegan and meat options and something for everyone. We've seen some great music here sitting at a table and dancing up front. There's a nice area outside that's dominated by smokers, but to each their own. We just love catching a show here!

Casey Neill and his Norway Rats infested the place, occupying many holes stubbornly, much to our delight and ultimate benefit. For 20-plus years I've been making the pilgrimage to Eugene every few years (usually on the occasion of PIELC) -- and without fail, at some point we would end up at Sam Bond's Garage. But this year -- no Sam Bond's. It's turned into the Whit franchise of a pizza place, apparently. (No disrespect to their pizza. It's delicious.) But. What happened to my favorite bar/music spot in Eugene?? Such an unspeakable loss, if this venue is actually permanently closed. I will remain hopeful that it will be reborn... somewhere else? But if not: RIP Sam Bond's Garage. We, from near and far, loved you. Thank you for the good times you gave us all.

Went to the goth night (ghost something?) tonight and it was a blast. The bar is gothic style too…read moreso it's marvelous. I heard it's usually an alternative / low key queer bar, more like mixed to me, which is nice. I know they recently made a change about free events turning into free with a drink purchase, which is reasonable! I've been low to no income, to where $10 is a splurge for me. I never got to go to a free event, but if I can't afford it I just don't go! Gotta keep the lights on, and $5 for a goth night was perfect for me. I had so much fun, the music was sweet and the outdoor area was nice too. The dance floor is small- kinda as big as their bathroom- but very accommodating, everyone seemed to have space to do their own thing. The one thing that did puzzle me is that they had a sign on the bathroom that said woman and then said it was all genders. I feel like maybe just taking the woman sign off would be simple enough. The message seems to just be "no urinal". The bathrooms are clean and plenty of stalls though!! I can't say anything about the drinks or food this time around, just the vibes which are great :) Lots of variety of events here, I'm sure I'll 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.

This seems to be the only rooftop bar in Eugene but is worth checking out. Unfortunately, because…read morewe came too late (10 pm) the patio was sectioned off so the guests staying around the area would not be disturbed. The inside was still nice though and had good vibes. The drinks were also very good but a tad on the pricey side. Our bartender was super nice though and recommended some great drinks. SkyBar didn't necessarily WOW me but was still a chill place to come for a drink, maybe to start the night. I'll have to come back to check out the patio/food and maybe that will up the experience a little.
