    Delicious sandwich on sourdough
    Becca F.

    This place is so adorable! The decor is cute and the bar is cozy. We sat outside during the summer and enjoyed the weather with our flight and food. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. This is a must try when in Albany.

    Soft pretzels with beer cheese and honey mustard

    This place is truly a gem in albany. Great cocktails, great customer service, and their honey mustard with the soft pretzel is one of the best foods i've ever had. I've been here lots of times and it's always are go to for date nights. Brought a friend from out of town and we ended up ordering another soft pretzel after our first was demolished and the kitchen hooked us up with the honey mustard.

    My favorite grilled cheese and tomato soup combo! Nice firehouse theme with nice workers. Book receipts are such a cute little touch!

    Dewdropper Drink

    Another little hidden gem in downtown Albany! We wondered into The Squeaky Cork a week ago after there was a power outage in our neighborhood and we were hungry! It was packed but there was room at the bar to sit. We were greeted immediately upon entering with friendly smiles. I asked the wonderful lady behind the bar what she recommended on their signature drink menu and she said their "Dewdropper" was one of their best from the recent Mixology event held downtown. I'm a gin lover so I was sold and the drink did not disappoint! So much flavor! My friend had the "Ginger Peach" and absolutely loved it. I ordered the "Salty Kilty Dog" to eat and it was soooo good! Some of the best comfort food I've had in a while. You just can't go wrong with potato chips loaded with some of the best tasting chili, smoked sausage and cheddar. The staff were just amazing and the service was excellent! We've been back a second time already because the drinks and food were just that great. If there's no seating when you first arrive, we promise, it's worth the wait. There's a reason they're packed out!

    Holiday ambience and grilled cheese with tomato soup

    I love this little spot. Welcoming and cozy, and the service is so personal and sweet! The food is absolutely delicious and I thought the prices were fair. We've had the charcuterie board, the chili dog, grilled cheese and tomato soup and my favorite has to be the soft pretzel I asked what sweet mustard they use bc I could drink it and they make it in house! If only they'd bottle it the drink selection is amazing, along with local beers and wines. It really is a gem, a spot I'd more expect in Portland, nestled right in downtown Albany. You can tell the owners love the place and the community and this comes across in everything they do. Can't wait to go back!

    Drinks and food were very good. The tomato soup with grilled cheese was amazing. Service was great and we were seated as soon as we walked in. The atmosphere was so cute! Definitely will be going back!

    Came here for a date night to try this place out. I found the inside was still very similar to how Three Sheets left it, including the police patches on the wall (super cool). Overall, dimly lit ambiance, it was perfect. We ordered a flight of whiskey, the whiskey hotel charcuterie and the pretzel. Everything was amazing. Who would have thought BBQ sauce and pretzels were a match made in heaven?! The board was giant and well worth the cost. Between that and the pretzel, we didn't end up getting anything else (though the entree La looked amazing). One gripe I had was the wait staff. Most all of them were VERY young and didn't appear to have much experience. One thing I noticed is I think they sort of ran out of room, and it was sort of dying down. I watched a lot of the staff carry food up to next to the bar at a little staging area. They nibbled and collected in this one area by the patches, talked on their phones and overall, sort of got caught up hanging out there a lot. It was to the point where we had empty glasses and no utensils until asked. Other gripe was the drinks came out sort of, as they are, and don't have any sort of gimmicky pizzazz to them. I sort of expected to see this when I saw they essentially specialize in this. Either way, this place was amazing, and we plan to return. Maybe sooner than later! Thank you!

    We stumbled on this little gem while shopping downtown! The food, service and atmosphere was excellent!!

    Great atmosphere, food and drinks. I had the Shepherds Pie. Delicious! Great selection of Whiskey, Bourbon, and Scotch. Plus others. I would consider this the best little bar in town.

    News article and firefighter paraphernalia - the owner, Josh, is a retired Corvallis Firefighter- thanks for your service, Josh!

    Such a cool place for dinner and a glass of whiskey! Very nice ambiance - lots of stuff to look at on the walls, nice and cozy too. And I have never seen such a selection of Scottish whiskey (there is wine and a list of signature drinks as well). I ordered Shepherds Pie - boy oh boy was it to DIE for! Another in our party got Bangers and Mash and loved it, and still someone else got the Mac & cheese and said that was ALSO fantastic! All the food and drinks were great, the service was good - we have nothing but good things to say about this place! (Except maybe could you bring it to San Diego so we don't have to fly all the way here next time?!)

    Very festive!  They put a lot of lovely Christmas decor.  Check it out!
    Pearl B.

    Solid 5 stars. It's one perfect place I haven't experienced for a long time! Surprised spirits selection. Christmas ambiance is magical. Hidden gem of Albany. Please don't change a thing. Need to drive down from Portland more often.

    The wall-o-whiskey! Lots of Irish, as well as Scotch, Welsh, and Japanese whiskeys, plus other non-whiskey bottles as well.
    Jack F.

    We got there to late in the evening for food service, but we were still able to order a couple of amazing desserts. My friend had a raspberry swirl cheesecake with lemon curd, and I had the sticky toffee pudding with ice cream. Both desserts were fabulous, and we had a great time talking to the owner/bartender about the huge selection of whiskies and other bottles on display behind the bar. We will definitely go there again--can't wait to try the bangers & mash and shepherds pie!

    Warm and cozy place with delicious food and so many whiskey options. Suggest a flight and the charcuterie to start!

    What a fun family night. I love that they allow all ages to come to drag bingo at 5pm on…read moreSaturdays. There were so many families enjoying time together. Some of the other reviews were negative on their food...but our food was fantastic. The burgers were moist and not greasy. The waffle cut fries were hot and crispy. The bartenders work non stop to get your drinks and food out quickly. My daughter loved the churro style donuts (but they are messy). The decor is a D&D dive bar scene....so many things to look at as you wait for bingo to start. They just changed the rules and you do have to pay $1.00 per person to play bingo...but where else can you get that type of entertainment for a dollar. We can't wait to return.

    While my first visit was unsatisfactory due to unfriendly staff and an overall sense of feeling…read moreunwelcome, I thought I would attempt a second visit. At one point, the bartender disappeared for approximately fifteen minutes, leaving several patrons waiting without acknowledgment. When she finally returned, she casually mentioned she had been on a personal phone call. A second woman then stepped behind the bar, immediately clarifying that she was not, in fact, a bartender. When I expressed concern about the extended absence and lack of service--something I would consider standard feedback in any hospitality setting--I was abruptly told I was "speaking badly" about the staff and was asked to leave. This kind of defensiveness and disregard for patrons is deeply unprofessional, especially for an establishment that positions itself within a community where communication, accountability, and mutual respect are paramount. Eugene has a growing nightlife and alternative culture scene, and many people--locals and visitors alike--expect spaces that uphold those values. Based on my experiences, I cannot recommend The Serpent & the Sparrow. There are other venues in town that offer a far more welcoming environment, competent service, and a genuine respect for their patrons.

Sad to say the South Salem campus was slated to close on August 29, 2025 to make way for administrative offices for a carpet company. My final meal when I learned of the closure was the GilgaMary. A Bloody Mary with two skewers each holding a piece of soft pretzel, chicken wing, slider, drunken mushroom and bacon. A meal in itself!

She was so kind to our dog and made us feel so comfortable. We went with her beer suggestions and then she gave us a taste of the Mamba- their flagship beer- we loved it. Ambiance is 5/5 - the inside dining room and bar area are rustic & would feel very cabin-comfortable in the winter. The dog-friendly outside patio is surrounded by creekside foliage and the breeze that comes through the shaded seating area has a natural cooling effect during this hot summer day. The vibe is very relaxed and casual. Food is 5/5 - Happy Hour goes from 3-5:30 and they offer great value for food items on the HH menu. I had the pulled pork sando with side salad during HH and we split a spicy chicken sando with fries as well. The portions are generous and both items were good quality and fresh from the bun to the coleslaw on the pulled pork- everything was so good! The blueberry heffy & the Mamba ard delightful on warm days. We will definitely recommend Gilgamesh Brewing and look forward to returning to the area.

We were seated immediately and were brought water quickly. I ordered the turkey fireside cranberry sandwich with tots and my partner ordered the Carmela's chicken sandwich. We finished with the strawberry cheesecake. The food was all pretty good. There wasn't a whole lot of turkey on my sandwich, so I was wishing there was more. I also couldn't taste the cranberry sauce very much. The tots were good and the ranch they came with was also good. The dessert was a nice way to end the meal and wasn't too heavy. We noticed an....interesting....pattern in the wood carving on the wall by our table. Not sure how they never noticed it before it made it on the wall but there's no way they haven't seen or been told about it since then. We definitely weren't expecting....that! The restaurant was clean and wasn't too loud. They have a good amount of parking in their lot. There are only two stalls in the bathroom so it can have a bit of a line when it's busy. This was my second time going to North Bank. It's a bit pricey but it's a good treat and a nice place to take a friend who is visiting from out of town.

The menu looks like tiki drinks, but the Jungle Bird and Scorpion were absurdly bitter and tasted nothing like their namesakes. The host at the front seemed completely put off by our arrival.

For what it is, the space is pleasant, especially sitting by the window and watching the river. We did, however, see a fully developed spiderweb in a surprisingly conspicuous spot inside. The more McMenamins I visit, the less sold I am on their value proposition.
