    A well-done veggie patty on a nice soft bun with a side of delicious fries
    Kat S.

    The epitome of a dive bar! They couldn't honor the coupon I got on Yelp, "I have never seen that before. Where did you get that? It doesn't matter, I don't have either one of those beers." the bartender tells us. I don't like beer anyway, but I thought it was hilarious. They couldn't make any of the drinks that are on their menu "we can't afford the ingredients," the brtender tells us. What kind of drink can I get? "The basics" she tells us as we notice the 2 liter of coke in the well, no soda gun. I wasn't concerned as those soda guns get disgustingly toxic quickly. Can I get a veggie patty instead of a beef patty? "Yes, we only have veggie patties, we are out of burgers" The drinks were strong, the food was weak, but Maliena Bitch Cock, who hosted Drag Queen Bingo, was worth all of the chaos. She was hilarious and she gave us a great performance. I highly recommend coming here, at least once, for the experience of a great dive bar. I will definitely be back next time I am in town.

    Morris dancers at Old Nick's Pub

    I finally visited Old Nick's Pub--to attend a morris dancing performance--and I was in awe of the ecclectic decor. You look around and notice more and more. Also I'm glad there are yummy vegan options on the menu and thr fact that the portions aren't huge (I'm old). I appreciate the Pagan & queer events on the schedule and look forward to attending more.

    Minimal dinner for $21

    You want to try the delicious slab of tender corned beef with seasoned mash potatoes and steamed…read morecabbage and carrots with toasted soda bread plated by Chef Kyle. Add a Guinness. 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.

    You can go wrong at this little Irish pub. It's got dim lighting, two bars, great service and…read moreamazing food. I wanted to get some corned beef so I stopped in. 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!

    Beer clean glassware! Yes, that is my lead-in title because it's so crazy rare to get truly beer…read moreclean glassware that I talked about it to the couple beside me (Pete and Roxanne who I got to meet were awesome btw). It's less than 1% of the places I visit that are true beer clean glassware astute. There are many that do a good job, but when you see the lacing on glassware that I saw tonight, you know you're in rarified air. FOOD: ok I know most people don't need out over glassware the way I do so let's discuss the food - I went more unique with a lamb sausage and a boar sausage, plus my new friends next to me shared their fries. My opinion? Awesome. Well executed sausage, the fries were really good - crisp on the outside and still perfect potato texture inside while being hot with a fry sauce side that perfectly complemented Service was great, met regulars, had tasty food - but the whale in this adventure was the care for the glassware. This is special - the owner truly cares about your experience when they nail the small details a lot of folks miss. I didn't miss this detail because it's massive in the nuance on your beer but takes special care and pride to get right. Bangers takes pride in giving you a beer in a properly maintained glass, and that's uniquely special. Applause to Bangers for attention to detail!

    Tried this spot recently and ordered the Seattle dog with fries while my husband got the brisket…read moresausage with mac and cheese. The food was good, but the pricing felt a bit steep. $17 dollars for a basic Seattle dog and fries feel a little high for counter service. That said, the overall vibe makes up for it. The space is open and inviting, with a great beer selection and a relaxed, dog-friendly atmosphere, which is a huge plus for us. Great place to grab a drink and hang out, just be prepared for slightly higher food prices.
