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.

Traveling for work and was looking for a place for something to eat with a lively atmosphere. Found…read moreon Facebook that Macs restaurant ( also known as the old Vets building to locals) was having blues/ jazz this night. I hopped on yelp to check out reviews of where I was considering... very mixed as well as dated. So decided to try anyway. Was so happy I did. So if you're looking for an upscale fancy dinner this is not your place. But it is elevated bar food. I had the flatbread bbq chicken pizza. Crust nice and crunchy with so much topping the crust had a hard time supporting it when you picked it up to eat. The previous yelp reviews said they waited forever for food. I found the service above average. The restaurant set up is very much like a Lyons's hall. A bar with lots of tables around randomly and of various sizes. So I walked to the bar to find out if I needed to be seated or just help myself. The bartender stated to sit anywhere I wanted. I told her I was interested in food as well so she handed me a menu. I asked if I needed to come to the bar to order and was told I would be waited on. BC of previous reviews I timed stuff. 3 min after sitting at a random table I was acknowledged and told she would be right back. 1 min later she was asking what I wanted to eat and if I wanted anything to drink. The food menu did not have wine only beer and soda. There is a separate menu for wine. Stella, my waitress was back momentarily with that. After placing my order food arrived within 10 min. Nothing like the horrible service I had read about in previous reviews. Thanks Stella for the awesome service! I will be back The music was a bunch of locals that have been playing together for years and good at it. Era of music was chuck berry, Otis Redding, and some of there own work ( Rooster Blues) Even though this was a Thursday night jam session I felt included. People very friendly and personal

Sitting there waiting for someone to at least come take our order... Hell no, they only serve tables with reservations! Which we DID have. After 30 minutes of watching others get help.

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.

I was told by my uber driver that this bar is known for people looking for fights. I walked up tot the bar and asked Erika the bartender for a Tequila sunrise. She told me to hold on in a very rude tone while she was waiting for a customer to pay for his drinks and he kept taking forever. I asked her again for the drink and she said " hold on", rather than being polite enough to make the drink while her customer was fumbling on his wallet full of singles and $5 to pay. I asked Kyle for the drink and he hooked it up sono gave him a $10 tip. One of the locals told me that Erika is a bitch and that Kyle is cool. When I posted a picture detailing what happened , Erika reached out to me via Instagram DMs and has her troll friends harass me and bully me for speaking up about her terrible customer service .
