Continued from Pago 12 and some of the rest culty with current ID. Thurg night Is ditto for LCC. The specials and the easy yalk from campus are the best be said for Lyon's. The __ arators strove for the com pilable look of a den and failed, vlth an interior of wood grain Drmica and rust-toned vinyl. The drinks are even tastier »n you think of the price. lo Federlgo’s >59 East 5th >43-8488 Daily Happy Hour Monday irough Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., with well drinks, beer land wine at two-for-one prices ?

Price range of mixed drinks $1.75 to $2.85. Jo Federigo's is an intimate cellar bar beneath an upstairs restaurant. Whatever the time, the lighting is subdued, as if the place wears sunglasses An old Wurlitzer jukebox is stocked with tunes from the 40s and '50s. Live piano jazz from a three-piece combo is refresh ingly different. It's a shame there's no real dance floor. Small nooks off the main room allow for conversation that doesn't compete with the mu sic. The drinks were wonderful. The juice in the Mai Tai had been freshly squeezed, and the margarita didn't fade after the first sip. The younger, casually dressed crowd had the place three-quarters full on a Monday night. The Hilton Encore Sixth and Oak 342-2000 No regular Happy Hours Ladies' Nights 5-7 p.m Monday through Thursday Each night features a different mixed drink for only 75 cents. Monday — strawberry or peach daiquiris. Tuesday — champagne cock tails. Wednesday — margaritas Thursday — tonics Hors d'oeuvres at half price. Drinks cost $2 and up Prices at the Encore par alleled the elevation. $3.25 for each drink, the highest for the evening. The Hilton Mai Tai was mediocre, but the Spanish Cof fee (tequila and coffee) was sweet and strong. While nursing a drink, you can catch a glitter ing view of the lights of Eugene's downtown and South Hills. The interior of the bar is much more soothing. Baby spotlights running along the ceiling high light colorful silkscreened gra phics on beige walls. Chrome fixtures and furniture, plus plenty of mirrors in back of the bar give the Encore a high-tech feel, but there's country on the juke box. The Vet’s Club 1626 Willamette 345-3261 No Happy Hours, Ladies’ Nights, or specials. Live enter tainment Friday and Saturday nights Some people say The Vet’s Club is the best bar in town. It's certainly the cheapest and the drinks are strong. Well drinks start at $1 and rarely go past $2, unless you want something special. A Myers rum and orange juice is only $1.60. The decor is straight 1950s tacky, the room is dark and always thick with smoke. The crowd is a mixed bunch of senior citizens, students and blue collar workers. Everyone gets along just fine. Not for the faint of heart, or for those who are looking for a chi-chi atmos phere But if you're looking for real character, you can't miss. The Excelsior Cafe 754 East 13th Ave. 342-6963 No Happy Hour Well drinks $2, wine $1.75 per glass, blend ed drinks starting at $2.50. Live entertainment every other Sun day evening. At last we come to the Excel sior Cafe, well-known in these parts for its casual elegance and good food. It’s an easy walk from campus to a French cafe atmosphere The bar is light and airy, an excellent place for an afternoon refresher or a late night coffee laced with something good. Fruit drinks are made with fresh fruit and well blended. The Mai Tai was blended, an unusual but delightful change.
