BARS/CLUBS Continued from Page 9C tetter, and the atmosphere is closer to a disco than a moat market. No minors downstairs after 8 p.m Just so you know: Club Arena is primarily a gay/lesbian club. If you're homophobic, or naturally prone to making an ass of your solf by gawking and pointing, go somewhere else. Across from the University Bookstore is Taylor's (894 E. 13th Ave.). Like Rennie's and Guido's, it's packod on the weekends. Live music can be heard Wednesday through Sat urday. Inside, Taylor's looks like an old tern that's teen re decorated to resemble a Ger man beerhaus. Have a drink with your friends weekdays on the patio betwoon 4 and 7 p.m, (Huppy Hour; pints are SI), and listen to the street musicians. The High Street Brewery & Cafe (1243 High St ), and its sister brew-pub the East 19th Street Cafe (1485 E. 19th St.), have tho test beer in the city. They are two of 27 brew-pubs (brew-pub: they brew their products on tho promises) in Oregon that are part of the McMenamin chain. The food is better than average bar fare, but the beer - oh my God! It's better than anything available in stores, test 19th Street’s loca tion brings in a more collegiate crowd than High Street, which is why I (slightly) prefer High Street. Don't go there for ser vice, however. High Street’s is the worst of any restaurant in the Willametto Valley. Go to the counter and got your drinks yourself, or te prepared to wait indefinitely. If you're looking for a bar that caters to harder sensibili ties, one of the tetter bars in town is New Max's Tavern (550 T 13th A v«). Now Max's hus live music (on tho grungy side) on the weekends The floor is sticky. There’s what ap pears to be a buttered dirigible floating above the bar. The walls in the restrooms are cov ered with graffiti, most of which is ernss adolescent bra vado. New Max's is the quintes sential hole-in-the-wall bar:* Apart from all of the afore mentioned is tho Vtli' Club (1026 Willamette St ), in tho Veteran's Memorial Building This is the coolest iwr in town. Don't go for the drinks or the food, the former are average (but cheap!) and the latter is be neath comment. Go to the Vets' Club for atmosphere The crowd is the most divers*! of any place in Fugono. On week ends, three elderly gentlemen who call themselves the Coun try Squires play -iO's style dance music Ask them to play "Roll Out tho Barrel,” theirs is the best version you'll ever hear. Finally, tho p o oIh a 11. Turkey's (933 Olive St.) its formal name is Luckey's Club Cigar Store - has cheap beer, nine pool tables (In the middle of which hung lamps suspend ed from tho coiling), and the necessary srnokey atmosphere What mom could you ask for? Tho lust time I was at Turkey's, I noticed separate groupings of tnetal-hoads, biker typos and college geeks like myself (but very few women, for reasons that soon become obvious). Re spectful distances am kept. No minors am allowed inside. This list is by no means com prehensive. There are other places in Eugene to talk all night long or dance or whatev er. Co out and find them You'll have more fun than you would at home. You'll probably learn mom, too.
