    All American

    I have only been here for breakfast so I can't speak to the bar environment. It's a great quiet little spot in the morning with indoor and outdoor seating. I was sent to this place for their All American open faced toast breakfast item. It was toast, gravy, bacon, egg and more! It was phenomenal!! The gravy was next level!! I will be back for sure

    Current bar menu. Create craft cocktails with a fine selection of beers and wines.

    My favorite place downtown. 5-star food, beverages, service, décor, menu, sidewalk seating, and atmosphere. Best Pimm's cup I've had in ages. Their all-day breakfast sandwich is a real winner - real egg, real cheese, real bun, and real service.

    The Barn Light is a little bit of PDX nestled into downtown Eugene. This place has a good feel to it, a bar with a twist of coffee house if you can imagine that. We visited for about 2 hours and had a great time here. The beer selection is pretty decent. Displayed on a huge green and red board (see pic), you should be able to find something to sip on ranging from 6 different kinds of coffee, to 7 different beers and about 8 house cocktails. Not to mention, they also have a pretty vast selection of beer in cans too. I would say one of the best things about this place is they serve their drinks in Mason Jars. HAH! Yeah, I said Mason Jars. If you're turned off by that, don't even stop by here. I've drank out of Mason Jars my whole life due to having a mother who cans and jars any and everything, so for me personally it was welcoming to be able to sip my beer from those familiar glasses. Oakshire's Spring Forth was on tap, and it was a real well balanced brew. A little malty, but plenty of hops to keep it even. I'm not sure how often they rotate their taps, they apparently had Boneyard IPA a few weeks prior, but not when we were there. Damn it! Great place to sit down after work and throw a few back.

    Wow! Homemade sausage makes this breakfast sandwich very special. And the coffee is top shelf.

    Excellent breakfast, lunch and a place to stop by for a beer. Be sure to try the fantastic breakfast sausage on a biscuit or on a fine roll with egg and cheese. The beer is good the coffee is spectacular.

    Since there are so many cool food places in the area, my friends and I were having trouble deciding where we wanted to have dinner. The unassuming silhouette of a light being illuminated caught my attention and we had decided. At first, we were excited to seethe array of entertainment, including a shuffleboard and foosball table. Then we were charmed by the seemingly cryptic decor adorning the walls. By the time we ordered, we were utterly charmed with the rustic postcard delivery cards. But that's where it all ended. At 8:41, my friend and I were told that they had switched over to their late night menu even though our other friends had just ordered full entrees just moments before. After some discussion and pleading, the bar tender talked to one of the cooks and ended up taking our order. We started to enjoy each others' company and consider playing shuffleboard when one of the waiters came to our table: "I'm sorry, there was a miscommunication and that is no longer on our menu." My two friends had been disappointed and had to settle for something else. (I think it was the Texas toast bread or something that they had discontinued.) We finally migrated to the shuffleboard and learned that it was debilitatingly slow (without a side reserve of sand) when the waitress returned: "I'm sorry, but we don't have tomato soup." This really upset another. When we got our food 20 minutes later, we were disappointed to find that the brussels sprouts we had been looking forward to were unexpectedly cold. Luckily, I ordered the turkey bacon avocado sandwich (called the BLT in the BLA, or something like that). Although the bun provided a generous ratio of bread to sandwich, it had a decent blend of flavors and the bacon could only be described as "big". My friend had the tuna melt which was obnoxiously cheesy and turned out to be the only hot thing at our table, besides us. On the bright side, my vegan friend was appeased by the hummus and pita plate, which was beautifully represented in a sun pattern with a hipster jar of hummus at the center. It was your standard hummus with nothing special about it, but the Lita was generous. Overall, their charming atmosphere was lackluster in light of our poor dining experience. I can recommend this place for drinks and bar snacks, but definitely not their entrees. Order at your own risk!

DRINKS: 7/10 SERVICE: 10/10 AMBIANCE: 10/10 What we ordered: Lemon & Ginger Mule Key Lime Rum Cocktail DRINKS: 7/10 The Lemon & Ginger Mule was fascinating and part of their Shrub specialty menu, which is a sweet-and-tart drinking vinegar made from fruit, sugar, and vinegar, created to preserve fruit. Definitely an acquired taste, but I loved the creativity behind it. The Key Lime Rum Cocktail was bright, refreshing, and perfectly balanced, with a tropical twist that was smooth and flavorful without being overly sweet. SERVICE: 10/10 The bartender serving us was friendly and knowledgeable. I appreciated how they explained some of the more unique cocktails and helped me pick something adventurous. She was a vibe for sure and seemed to be vibing with the other customers as well. AMBIANCE: 10/10 Crow & Cart nails that "handcrafted neighborhood bar" feel. The space is full of character with warm wood tones, plants, and personal touches everywhere. The vibe is cozy and welcoming, making it a perfect spot to relax. There is also outdoor seating. If you're in Eugene and want something beyond your average cocktail bar, you should give this place a try.

Some of the other reviews were negative on their food...but our food was fantastic. The burgers were moist and not greasy. The waffle cut fries were hot and crispy. The bartenders work non stop to get your drinks and food out quickly. My daughter loved the churro style donuts (but they are messy). The decor is a D&D dive bar scene....so many things to look at as you wait for bingo to start. They just changed the rules and you do have to pay $1.00 per person to play bingo...but where else can you get that type of entertainment for a dollar. We can't wait to return.

At one point, the bartender disappeared for approximately fifteen minutes, leaving several patrons waiting without acknowledgment. When she finally returned, she casually mentioned she had been on a personal phone call. A second woman then stepped behind the bar, immediately clarifying that she was not, in fact, a bartender. When I expressed concern about the extended absence and lack of service--something I would consider standard feedback in any hospitality setting--I was abruptly told I was "speaking badly" about the staff and was asked to leave. This kind of defensiveness and disregard for patrons is deeply unprofessional, especially for an establishment that positions itself within a community where communication, accountability, and mutual respect are paramount. Eugene has a growing nightlife and alternative culture scene, and many people--locals and visitors alike--expect spaces that uphold those values. Based on my experiences, I cannot recommend The Serpent & the Sparrow. There are other venues in town that offer a far more welcoming environment, competent service, and a genuine respect for their patrons.

    They were playing an anniversary version of This Is Spinal Tap, with an intro by Rob Reiner…read more I was running around 10 minutes late (would miss the trailers) but the welcome from the Ticket guy was no less warm despite my being the last viewer in. He sorted me out pretty quickly and then I faced my next wonderful obstacle: an amazing concession stand with a very understanding vendor who had two different kinds of kombucha on tap, chilled brut rosé, several beers ranging from a Pilsner to a stout, several kinds of wine including Pinot noir and Cabernet Savignon, popcorn with real butter, frozen junior mints, whoppers, peanut M&Ms... everything good was there. Give yourself a few extra minutes to decide what you want to nosh on -- just don't pass up such a great selection. The movie was showing in theater B which was across the courtyard, really lovely few steps between buildings. The chairs were very comfortable inside theater to B and the drink holders wide enough to hold the mason jar that my kombucha came in. Yep a real glass -- none of the paper or plastic stuff -- love that. But maybe the best part was the audience who was clearly queuing to many of the lines and laughed at all the right places. The vibe was a lot like a familiarity that you encounter when you watch the Rocky horror picture show: lots of audience knowledge and appreciation expressed throughout the film, which made the movie even better. I really like this venue and the set up they have. There's also free parking to the side of the building. Support this business. It's a treasure.

The Skybar is located on the 5th floor of the building along with the Hotel lobby... uh okay. The staff are all very pleasant and accommodating. We went to the SkyBar and found it to be a smallish yet convenient place to wait for guests or visitors along with getting a drink or a bite to eat. The bar looks like it can accommodate about 30 people in the interior. There is a nice outdoor patio that can easily accommodate more when the weather is nice. The barkeeper was very attentive and observant, he took our food and drink requests at the bar and in short order, everything was presented. I had a Moscow Mule that I found to be a refreshing drink. Ginger beer, lime and vodka. An excellent combination. I also had an order of the chicken wings and fries. The fries were a normal shoestring variety, cooked well, nicely salted and came in a metal bowl. The wings I found to be outstanding! I don't usually get wings this well made unless I do it myself. I received 8 wings coated with barbecue sauce on a charcuterie board with the fries. The wings were served nicely hot. The meat was piping hot, juicy and tender. The barbecue coating was a hearty middle of the road sauce, not sweet or too smoky. It was caramelized perfectly for that sticky texture and flavor. Definitely a nice coating. Thankfully the bartender brought us a lot of napkins. The wings and fries made for a satisfying meal. The bar boasts a couple of gas fireplaces that make for a warming environment with a few semi private tables. There is a longer table for a larger group as well as several smaller tables and a few bar stools for game watching. All in all we found the bar to be a cozy semi-private environment, yet available to the guests as they come and go. All around, a nice meeting area and watering hole. We will book our family members for a stay here at the hotel. I'm looking forward to trying more of their specialty drinks.
