John Henry’s

Rock ‘n Rodeo

Features karaoke night, ‘80s night, Hick-hop (whatever that is), plus ladies dance nightly. Occasionally they will throw in the cha-cha, waltz, and country two-step, so bring your dancing shoes. Cover: $3 except on Thursdays, when ladies pay no cover.

Rennie’s Landing

The second most notorious bar for students, located just off campus. Rennie’s has survived through the decades in a constant civil war for attention with Taylor’s. Yet Rennie’s offers a more spacious atmosphere, outdoor seating, and a more diverse crowd than that of a place like Taylor’s. For a hot atmosphere and strong drinks, Rennie’s is packed on the weekends. Cover: None

Wild Duck Brewery

This is an excellent place to come to sample some of the greatest beers. The atmosphere is perfect for an intimate date or to just hang out with some of your buddies. Cover: None

Taylor’s Bar & Grille

Every student at the UO knows what Taylor’s is, and they can easily point you in the right direction. Located across the street from campus, Taylor’s has been around since the 1930s and is easily considered the hottest spot for college students. Although the Greek crowd can occasionally dominate the scene, Taylor’s offers a sexy atmosphere with great music and even better drinks. Cover: None

McMenamin’s North Bank

Primarily a seafood restaurant, this is a chill place to come get a few good beers in you before the night begins. Open only until 11 p.m. during the week, and midnight on weekends. Come early, and enjoy the beer list. Cover: None

Joggers Bar & Grill

It’s a nice, busy sports bar where you can always find something to do. The food is good, especially the hot wings, and the entertainment is top-notch. Cover: Friday–Saturday $2

Oregon Electric Station

At the Oregon Electric Statio,n you’ll find much more than the college atmosphere, in a toned-down setting. The drink menu is extensive and the atmosphere is classy, but if you’re looking for a hot night of dancing and debauchery, this isn’t the place to be. For a first date or a more intimate place to drink, however, this is just where you want to go. Cover: None

Neighbors

If you’re looking for a more diverse atmosphere, Neighbors could just be the place for you. As the only drag bar in close vicinity, Neighbors will give you a scene unlike any other place around. This is a hot spot for some students. Cover: None

Eugene offers one nightclub for those under 21: Taboo, where the slogan is ‘18 to party, 21 to drink
