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.

While my first visit was unsatisfactory due to unfriendly staff and an overall sense of feeling…read moreunwelcome, I thought I would attempt a second visit. 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.

This place can throw a mean kegger, and not in the totally idiotic frat jerk way. There are actually a ton of different people everytime I go there. The house has been cut-up to the point that it can be a maze, but I have always had fun here. The key is being in the right mood. If you don't like being shoulder-to-shoulder crammed in with people, don't go on a time like Halloween. It helps to either loosen up beforehand or bring a lot of friends. Expect to meet people and get roped into lots of random, drunken conversation/other craziness. If you're terrified of even having to smell weed, stay home and listen to your old Rush Limbaugh tapes. This IS Eugene and it IS a lot of college kids in one place partying.

However, an hour and a half into our stay, we were still waiting on two of our dishes. We communicated to the waitress what dishes we were missing (nicely, we weren't belligerent about it). Apparently there was a misunderstanding, because shortly after, the hostess came over said that it was the waitresses second day and to "lay off her". How she felt we were being rude, Idk but that wasn't the intention, we just wanted the food we ordered, and didn't explicitly blame the waitress. We received another one of our dishes, while the last dish wasn't brought to us until we left. We had to seek out a waitress or bar tender for everything, our checks, napkins, and our food. We were never checked on for refills or how the meal was going. However, we weren't acting upset about this, we were honestly just in grossed in our own conversations, with the occasional "I wonder where our food is" comment. On our way out, we were unceremoniously told we were not welcome back, which again completely caught us off guard, and I suspect there must have been a misunderstanding. It completely ruined the night for us, and I will happily never return. Food was fine, the atmosphere is cool if somewhat undercut by the hostile service. If the owners hope to keep their customers, they should avoid banning their paying customers over miscommunication.

The acoustics were good and for the most part the lighting was as well. I saw the Sugar Beets on 6/20/26. As a person who is gluten-free and tries to avoid sweets and alcohol there really wasn't anything at concessions for me. I'm grateful that this is not a place that refuses to allow you to bring your own snacks and water. The room with concessions also has merch (like band t-shirts). I overheard someone say that during the show if you attempt to go down the stairs from the balcony (like to get to concessions) the stair way is completely pitch black and hazardous.

I've finally I've been able to visit the Shedd. Well, that's a little incorrect; they were around…read morewhen I was in middle and high school, but as a summer program or resident company at the Hult Center known as OFAM, the Oregon Festival of American Music. Until this past weekend, I hadn't been to a program at their own year-round space that's been here for 25 years or so now. (But I don't feel too bad about that since my sister, who's lived here all her life, has only been once.) Anyway, I brought my toddler to their Magical Moombah show, which is designed specifically for children. We had a lot of fun! It was held in the Jacqua concert hall. The show was kind of variety/vaudeville in style; this one was called Come Sail Away, and it had a loose story made up that was connected by pre-existing songs that matched the theme. There were several time when they invited the kids up to participate--a dance party on stage, a couple of joke breaks, a contest or two, and more. It was a great way to let the kids be involved, and even the littlest kids had an opportunity to join in (my two year old was insistent on making her stage debut, though I think she was a bit shy when she was up there dancing with everyone). They hold this program each quarter and I'll definitely be looking for it next time we're home to visit. They also host concerts, musicals, and other programming. There are a couple of performance spaces, the concert hall being the main one and then recital space. The Shedd is also home to a music school, which seems to take place in the newer wing, where students can take private or group lessons. I will say that their website is really frustrating--almost every link would take me to their calendar, even if I was clicking on Faculty or Welcome--so I'm not sure what that's about so I'd suggest just calling if you have questions. There's a fee if you purchase tickets online (and maybe if you purchase in person with a credit card); in person with cash there's no fee. They have a good parking arrangement with the city that allows for free parking on evenings and weekends in the Lane County lot. There's also parking directly behind their north entrance (I'm not sure if that's the city lot or not, but I don't think so). The lot we parked in was kind of frustrating because almost every spot was marked as compact, and in the year 2026 even in Eugene most people have an SUV or minivan or something, and places just need to stop making most of their parking for compact cars. Some fun facts: Ginevra Ralph, who co-founded the Shedd, is the great-granddaughter of John G. Shedd (namesake of Chicago's Shedd Aquarium in addition to this performing arts center). The Shedd is located in what was once the First Baptist Church in Eugene, one of the largest in the city if not the largest at the time. Also, Marin Alsop, a conductor of international renown, was the co-conducted the Eugene Symphony and the Oregon Festival of American Music early in her career. The Shedd really does have a storied history and lots of great things to come.

There was loud music playing, mainly old school hip-hop, though it was pleasantly loud, not annoying.

The crowd was diverse, primarily 20s and 30s, with a smattering of 40+. A good amount of people but never too many, and overall a laidback and unpretentious vibe. The bartenders were nice and efficient, with a selection of 15ish beers on tap. I thoroughly enjoyed my mozzarella sticks and my buddy loved his Texas bbq burger. The food was made with care and didn't take long to come out. I appreciated the big parking lot. I'll be back at some point!
