■ Drop the same old routine
of the same old bar every
weekend and sample some
of Eugene’s secret saloons
By Molly Egan
for the Emerald
If it seems like there’s nowhere
to go on a Friday night in Eugene,
take another look.
Most of the typical college bars
in town, such as Taylor’s, Rennie’s
Landing and BiagiO’s, seem to
have worn out their appeal, and
groans of boredom can be heard as
groups migrate from one to anoth
er. But there’s no need to solicit the
same dives week after week.
A virtual oasis of unsung water
ing holes, Eugene contains a num
ber of unique, out of the way estab
lishments offering a variety of
specialty libations and hearty pub
fare.
A few blocks east of Hayward
Field on Agate Street and 19th Av
enue is the erroneously named
East 19th St. Cafe, a branch of the
McMenamin brothers’ tree of
pubs, restaurants, breweries and
wineries. Home of the renowned
Terminator Stout and Hammer
Head ale, 19th St. Cafe carries a
mouth-watering selection of
McAles and wines, as well as guest
taps from Deschutes Brewery and
Widmer Bros. Food choices run
the gamut from vegetarian sand
wiches, burritos and pastas to
more traditional burgers'and appe
tizers. 19th St. Cafe is open Mon
day through Saturday from 11 a.m.
to 1 a.m. and Sundays from noon
to midnight.
Take a short jaunt down to 13th
Avenue, and make your way west
to Cafe Soriah, a bar and cafe spe
cializing in Mediterranean, inter
national and Northwest delicacies.
Patio seating is available, but the
stylish decor and alluring liqueur
selections could cause one to
spend a little too much time at the
bar. Specially blended coffee
drinks and a smashingly good Cos
mopolitan make Cafe Soriah, be
tween Lincoln and Lawrence
streets, a pleasant spot to spend a
few hours. Lunch is served from 11
a.m. until 2 p.m., when the restau
rant closes until dinner at 5 p.m.
and serves meals until 10 p.m.,
with drinks served until 2 a.m.
A few of the good drinking desti
nations require a little travel, so if
plans include more than a few bev

erages, it’s advisable to call a cab or
designate a sober driver. The Lava
Lounge, a gem hidden out West
11th Avenue, on the corner of
Chambers Street, is a delightfully
unknown place to taste exotic
drink concoctions and sample
some of Eugene’s best internation
al cuisine. Attached to the Ring of
Fire restaurant, the Lava Lounge
follows the Pacific Rim theme with
tropical beverages including
liquor-soaked fruit blends and the
Volcano, a fiery rum drink for two
(or three) served in a large bowl
mixed with orange, pineapple and
guava juices. Be sure to check out
the.appetizer selection, which in
cludes tasty spring rolls and chick
en satays smothered in peanut
sauce. The Lava Lounge is open
and serves a full dinner menu Sun
day through Thursday from noon
to midnight, Friday and Saturday
until 1 a.m.
The Highlands, formerly The
Relief Pitcher, is situated atop 40th
Avenue and Donald Street, inside
the Edgewood Shopping Center.
Like its sister bar, the Wetlands, the
Highlands attracts pool sharks and
amateurs with eight pool tables
and a juke box sure to please mu
sic lovers across the board. Offer
ing one of the best beer selections
in town, the bars runs more than
40 taps from small Northwest
brewers to larger domestic suppli
ers. The food menu doesn’t get
much more standard, with ham
burgers, fries and grilled cheese
style eating, but at reasonable
prices. The Highlands opens at 11
a.m. and stays up until 2 a.m. Mon
day through Saturday, 10 a.m. to
1:30 a.m. Sundays.
