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.
