Checking out Eugene's taverns
All dressed up and
nowhere to go? With well over
100 bars, taverns and
restaurants. Eugene offers a
wide variety of places to meet,
drink and be merry. Listed
below are but a few to get you
started.
The Cooler, 20 Centennial Loop
The Paddock Tavern, 3355 East Amazon Drive
These particular drinking establishments are
two of Eugene's classic neighborhood sports
taverns. Dark wood interiors, antlers on the walls
and heavy oak bars make apt the setting for
billiards (total of six tables) and watching big
screen T.V. with satellite reception.
Also, The Pad is one of the only taverns in
town to still have c. foosball table. Student, alum
ni and community Duck fans frequent the two
taverns, making for "active” sports watching,
beyond mere observation — almost to a participa
tion level.
Each tavern serves 65-cent draft beer, and
features specials on live sport nights. Both are
open until 2 a.m. on weekends.
Cassady’s Tavern, 539 East 13th Ave.
Perry’s On Pearl, 959 Pearl St.
Two of Eugene’s gay drinking
establishments. Cassady’s is a neighborhood
tavern with rustic interior and pool tables;
Perry’s, conversely, is a downtown bar with a
dance floor.
Both places feature recorded music —•
Cassady’s playing mostly rock, pop and jazz; and
Perry’s also featuring rock and pop, but also funk
(with an emphasis on danceable music). The
crowd includes community members and
students, and is by no means made up of gays
only.
There is 85-cent draft beer at Cassady’s, and a
full bar at Perry’s, which also has a service
charge. Both establishments are open until 2 a.m.
on weekends.
Lone Star Restaurant, 160 South Park
Located downtown, The Lone Star is a large
bar featuring a dance floor in front of the stage,
with raised tables and seating along the back
walls. The decor is “late ’70s thrashed.*” Playing
loud for serious rockers and metalheads, the
music is live on weekends.
The crowd is somewhat young, and though
many people come as couples, the atmosphere is
conducive to interaction among singles. The
Lone Star has a cover charge on weekends and
features a full bar, draft beer and weekly specials.
Max’s Tavern, 550 East 13th Ave.
Surviving through those dry days of prohibi
tion, Max’s is the second oldest tavern of con
tinuous location in the state. It is a rustic tavern
complete with a high ceiling, darts and a heavy
oak bar; somewhat reminiscent of oldtown San
Francisco drinking establishments.
Max’s patrons are treated to five different
beers on tap and 16 different bottled beers.
Bartender Mike Hitchcock considers Max’s to be
the “genuine U of O tavern.” “If your father went
to school here, he drank here,” he says.
Frequented by regulars in the midweek.
Max’s fills with community members and
students on the weekends. It features 70-cent
beer and $2 pitchers, and has Friday specials.
Rennie’s Landing, 1214 Kincaid St.
Rennie’s is a classic example of a true college
tavern. Converted from a large home, the
atomsphere is warm with two floors of comfor
table seating, light oak furnishings and a
partially-covered patio.
The menu is complete with long-standing
student favorites and daily specials. Serving
regular customers on midweek nights, Rennie’s
attracts a predominantly Greek crowd on
weekends. Rennie’s features 13 different bottled
