There are nights you plan... and then there are nights that just happen to you. This was the…read morelatter, and it all went down at Cowfish Dance Club. Now look I'm the first to admit, I'm not exactly out here breaking it down on the dance floor. I say it all the time: "I'm too old for this." And yet somehow, like clockwork, I keep ending up in places like this, drink in hand, wondering how I got here and more importantly, how long I can survive. We roll in, no real plan. Just one of those rainy Eugene nights where the air feels like trouble and bad decisions. Dinner? Solid. Drinks? Flowing like someone forgot to install brakes. We even ran into some friends, which always turns a simple night into a full-blown episode. And then... things got weird. In the best possible way. At some point, I look up and there are these gals glowing glowing painted in neon like a scene out of some underground rave documentary. Black lights hitting just right, bodies moving, maybe outfits, maybe not outfits... honestly, I couldn't tell you. And I'm standing there thinking, "Either this place is incredible... or whatever I just drank has officially taken the wheel." Probably both. The music? Off the hook. DJs knew exactly what they were doing pulling people in, keeping them there. The lights, the energy, the whole setup it delivers exactly what it promises. It's a full-send kind of place. Not pretending to be anything else. We were there maybe an hour... maybe two. Hard to say. Time doesn't exactly behave normally in a place like this. Now I'll be real this is probably a young person's playground. College town vibes, full throttle: a little bit of chaos, a little bit of freedom, a whole lot of "we'll deal with it tomorrow." But here's the thing... I had a damn good time. Even if I can't dance. Even if I don't quite belong. Even if I woke up the next day piecing together memories like a detective on a budget. Because for a few hours, it didn't matter. Shoutout to the staff friendly, on point, keeping things moving. The whole place runs like it knows exactly what it is and doesn't apologize for it. And honestly? Respect. So yeah maybe this isn't my everyday scene. But I'm glad I went. It was wild, it was funny, it was just disorienting enough to be unforgettable. And for one night, I felt like a kid again.

He yelled at me and called me a bitch and said I have one brain cell. He told me to fuck off because I tried to bring in a non alcoholic lemonade because I have diabetes and I have to carry sugar with me. Granted I could have gotten the lemonade at cow fish but i had already experienced a low blood sugar earlier that night so I had the drink with me. The bartender and the DJs are always so sweet and friendly. Just wanted to say how badly this guy sucks.

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 expectations of this place being a dance club were shattered as soon as we walked down the stairs into the basement dancefloor. The DJ was horrible, and played a bunch of not dance music. He kept doing talkovers, which one you couldn't understand, two were completely not necessary in the slightest. There was literally 3 people on the dance floor. That was probably because the music being played wasn't really danceable. This place could be great with the right DJ until we here different, the likely return to the copa is very slim at best.

Maybe I am a little picky, I just found it hard to find anything that sounded appealing. We settled on sharing some BBQ wings, which had a decent flavor. Nothing to write home about, or rush here for. I also decided on a French dip, which comes with horse radish. I figured you can't go wrong with that. Definitely a nope! I sent it back. I am not a person who sends food back, or complains about food. I just could not eat it, it was so bad. I had to have my guy even try a bite to make sure it wasn't my post 2023 Covid mishaps taking over. ( I can't eat certain foods, or tastes certain foods.) it wasn't that, because that is usually just eggs, bacon, and chicken it happens with. And he also agreed, the meat tasted weird. Not bad, just weird. Like what is it? Not even the horseradish was helping. Thankfully we were not charged. Our friend liked his clam chowder bowl, and cheesecake. Hopefully the other restaurants here are better.

Unfortunately: 1) The bartender didn't know the first thing about the beers he was serving. I asked him about styles, and he started telling me where the breweries are located.

If I'm at a crowded bar late on a weekend night, I'm more-or-less okay with a moderately disgusting environment. When it's early in the afternoon and I'm apparently one of the first customers of the day, I don't want to feel a sticky surface on the bar.
