Student-centered sports bar pledges
its allegiance to the green and yellow
i ne u bar ana LjUU, one
of Eugene's best Duck spots,
serves food until 2 a.m.
BY JOSH UNTEREUR
PULSE REPORTER
While nearly all Eugene sports bars
pledge allegiance to the Ducks, few
bleed green and yellow quite like The 0
Bar and Grill.
From the green and yellow walls
decorated with Ducks memorabilia, to
the green french fry baskets and paper
linings, the motif finds its way into al
most every inch of the "0."
Since opening in August 2003, the
bar has seen a significant amount of
visits from students living in the
sprawling apartment complexes next
door. During college football season,
Duck revelers packthe barto capacity
before and after games thanks to its lo
cation within throwing distance of
Autzen Stadium.
"It's a madhouse," bar manager
John "Johnny" Capaccio said of the
gameday crowds. "But in a good way."
Sports fans can watch games on 16
televisions dotting the inside of the bar
ortwo on the spacious patio. The
biggest events are broadcast from a
high definition projector onto a 10-foot
pull-down screen. The outdoor area is
heated during cooler months. In sum
mer, they remove the roof so patrons
can soak upthe sun.
Inside, the tap selection leans
heavily on macros, like Coors Light
and Budweiser products, but there is
a passable selection of bottled im
ports and microbrews. The bar's
mixed drink selection is more impres
sive as it features two pages of spe
cialty drinks. The Duck Hunt (made for
two) mixes coconut and spiced rum
with orange juice, blue curaco,
pineapple and sour mix. It's served in
a 21 oz. glass for $11.50.
The bar offers standard but cheap
appetizers ranging from $2.95 to $4.75,

along with specialties like finger
steak baskets and 0 Bar nachos,
priced from $5.95 to $7.95. Dinner
items include a large selection of
burgers and sandwiches. The menu
also includes fish and chips, popcorn
shrimp, pastas and pizza.
Every Wednesday the special is a
burger and beverage for $5, and dur
ing happy hour, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.,
domestic drafts cost $1.75 and well
drinks $3.
Along with being one of Eugene's
best sports bars, the 0 Bar is also one
of the area's only places for after-hours
dining. They serve a full menu until 2
a.m. "At 12:30 a.m. we're making fet
tuccine Alfredo," Capaccio said.
The bar also features a regulation
size pool table along with Keno and
other video gambling machines. A
I-V
Golden Tee video game, an American
sports bar staple, is also found inside.
They also offer regular Texas Hold'em
card tournaments on Mondays Capac
cio said karaoke night on Tuesdays
draw the biggest crowd.
On a recent Wednesday night, the
men outnumbered the women, much
like a grizzled Alaskan village. But on
karaoke nights, which double as
ladies night, Capaccio said the bar
draws a more balanced crowd. He
also said a slightly older group popu
latesthe bar during dinner hours,
while students typically arrive later in
the evening. After 9 p.m., the bar only
allows patrons 21 and older.
Located at 115 Commons Drive,
The 0 Baris open daily from 11 a.m.
to 2:30 a.m.
