Just when you think the
impossible choice between beer
and coffee is going to completely
ruin your day, Oakshire’s
Overcast Espresso Stout happens.
The coffee-flavored oatmeal stout
gets its dose of java from
Wandering Goat’s cold-brewed
coffee. Oakshire’s Amanda Pence
says Overcast is special because
it’s a brew for any time of day, to
pair with sweet or savory food,
and even during those rare Eugene
days when it’s not actually
overcast.

Cowfish has been voted both best singles
scene and best same-sex pickup spot, an
impressive feat for a town seemingly
bustling with various bars and clubs
where people congregate. What is it
about Cowfish that makes it so attractive
to the looking-for-love (or sex) crowd?
Co-owner Shawn Mediaclast says, “I’m
just happy that the people who work
there made it so that everybody feels
comfortable being who they are at
Cowfish; there’s a really light-hearted,
friendly vibe that makes everyone feel
welcome.” Cowfish also features an array
of DJs offering entertainment many
nights of the week, so if you’re looking
to get down, both literally and
figuratively, Cowfish is the place to be.
