Side Bar

Great place to watch a game and hang out with friends. Staff is awesome! Last night I was carded and used my military ID. The Bartender bought me my first drink. Love local businesses that support and respect our military.
Thanks Sidebar!

I went here to try the food, the food was pretty standard pub fare. I got the Mozz sticks and pulled pork sandwich. Waitress was happy service was ok. Downside the menu is a little pricy. Upside televisions in the booths.

Good eats, video poker and friendly and attentive staff. What more can you ask for in a neighborhood bar?

The atmosphere is nice with lots of tv’s. Food is questionable. Last burger I had there tasted like cardboard, however. It was probably freezer burned and of low quality. It’s the same taste I get from frozen burgers from Safeway. Waitresses are mostly pretty good. Maybe it’s me but it’d be nice if the bartender would actually acknowledge your presence and ask if you’d like anything. Sometimes it feels as if they are only serving their favorites, but that’s not too uncommon in my experience elsewhere. Tips are earned guys, FYI. Tried stopping by today for a beer but there was zero parking unless you want to risk parking at the urgent care which has plenty of spots but has plenty of signs making sure you know it’s not ok to park there if not using their services. I circled around twice with no success and decided to give up.

So, Yeah. I may not be the prettiest guy in town, but to the lovely ladies at the side bar I must look like one of the walkers in Walking Dead!!! Seriously, every time I come here I get ignored. Doesn’t matter where I sit, hell tonight I tried three different locations. Nothing changed, they would walk by me like I’m covered in feces! Sorry to be so graphic, but this is crazy! Why do I come back, enjoy the abuse? It’s close, occasional Video poker fix. Not much selection in this happening town. So my third stop was at the bar where the bartender is forced to acknowledge me. Such a different world than Sabia, where I walk in and the bartender is making my drink as I sit down. Go once a month at the most, so no I don’t live there. Anyway. There you go, Come on down. I’m sure it’s just me. I’m doing something bad I’m sure Or it’s just they way it is, Gotta stop dropping in here. If I want this abuse I’ll text an ex wife.

Bartenders are not especially friendly and the atmosphere is kinda stagnant. High priced but great location

Appropriately named and pleasantly suprising. This is a great place to go if you are looking for a sports bar. TVs aren’t as big as BWW, but the food and service are way better. For example, you can get a salad with mixed greens instead of a plate with iceberg lettuce and cheese. The rest of bar food is pretty good. I recommend the Philly if you are in the mood.

I am an admitted nacho snob; the nachos at Side Bar were ok, bur they put some kind of Chipotle sauce on them I didn’t like and too much salsa. Next time, I’ll know to order them the way I like them. The Cuban sandwich was really awesome, too bad the took it off the menu & apparently replaced with a ham & cheese sandwich. Cold beer and attentive friendly service. Good selection of local beers on tap.

I’m not impressed with the service here. I went here last week and was hoping to like it here considering one of my old school buddies were in there with his friends and my guy and I were meeting up with his friends. We felt ignored while the waitress/​bartender was talking to her regulars. She finally came over and took our order. We ordered a few aps and asked for no onions because I get migraines from raw onion. She comes back to our table and asked if green onions are ok?! We said no! I get migraines from them especially if they are raw! Well we got our artichoke dip with extra onion on top!!! Our friends who were with us said they were there the day before and had the same thing and it did not have raw onions on top! So I feel like she did that on purpose! We mentioned to her that I have an allergy to the onions and she just brushed it off! We ended up scooping the top off, but still rude of her none the less! The rest of our food was good, I couldn’t finish eating because I wasn’t feeling well for other reasons not food related which bummed me out because my pulled pork slider was actually pretty good. My drink was good it was a vodka drink with coconut water. One of their special drinks on their menu. I would order it again. I just hope their servers are a little better next time so that a can maybe give a better review.

Great food and cold drinks– slow service. On Sunday mornings following home Ducks games!

Perfect venue for watching sports with all the TVs and accommodating large parties as well as small. Unfortunately, the service has really gone south on game days, to include Sunday mornings with the NFL ticket. The poor bartender was so stressed out that he had a hard time providing any decent customer service due to a lack of help for the morning games. Management needs to start staffing accordingly or we may have to take our business elsewhere. I hate to have to write this because we have loved this place since it opened. I hope this helps so we can bump you guys up to 3 or 4 stars soon.

Over priced! Fish & chips, 3 small pieces of fish and literally five pieces of potato. They cut them in a fancy twist. When the portion size of «chips“was questioned we were told that was a portion & anything more was considered an additional portion. Really! Potatoes no matter the shape are CHEAP! Is this place really that pretentious? Average taste combined with small portion= We’ll drop our dollars elsewhere.

My husband and I had originally had a horrible experience here about a year or so ago. We never went back until we moved close to them and decided to try one more time. They had made major improvements in their service. We were very impressed at the service and their happy hour food was great. The location is great with lots of seating and TVs and then they also do a special every day of the week. They also have a great tap list as we love craft beers.
If you originally had a bad experience I would suggest giving it another try. I hope they stay on this path and continue to be a good place for us to go after work.

This was a nice place to get a drink and a bite with friends. It’s not overly loud like many bars and there are plenty of TVs. Would recommend it for a night out or for a big game.

The Side Bar deserves a re-​review. I know it’s not a huge bump, but i’ll move mine up to 3.5 stars.
I was in here during the NBA All Star game with a friend of mine. We came down to watch the game and grab some food and brews. Side Bar is great for a medium sized crowd. They have booths with ample seating, spots at the bar, and then they have some tables that sit in the middle of the floor separating the booths from the bar.
We sat at the tables so we could have a good view of the game on the big screen. All was well, but the most frustrating part of this visit was that we had to watch the game with no sound at all. Don’t get it twisted, I often watch football/​basketball with no sound at all, it’s certainly not needed. But when I go somewhere, or if I sit down to fully watch a game, I want to listen to the damn thing. We asked for the sound to be turned on, but they had a documentary on Bo Jackson on, and that had all the audio. I’m a fan of Bo Jackson, the man’s a legend! But can we please listen/​watch the All Star game?
The food was decent, I ordered the Black and Bleu burger with fries. There was a heaping pile of bleu cheese on my burger, and a huge pile of fries served on the side. The fries are awesome may I add. Somewhat of a twisted/​pealed spud that is much larger than your everyday average fry.
The beer selection could be a little more, but they have Boneyard IPA on tap, and as long as they have that, i’ll never bitch or complain.
I actually had the chance to come here again last week with some co-​workers and we all had a really good time in the Copa Room! (A 5 star trip may I add)
If you’re not sure what the Copa Room is, it’s a private room that you access ‘through’ the phone booth in the other side of the bar. It’s a pretty cool concept, and it fit 12 – 14 of us just fine.
When you rent out the private room, you get your own bar and bar tender. It has 1 large screen TV and a monitor so you can see who is trying to enter the Copa room when it’s locked. The server we had was a great guy, really attentive, and did a good job of making fruity drinks for the fruity taste buds. (I dont have Fruity tastebuds, but my co-​workers do. One guy described his «Ninja Turtle» as a Magical waterfall… I’ll take another IPA please)
I really do want to give this place 4 stars, but I can’t say, «I’m a fan!» I can certainly say that it’s, «A-​OK», I think if service was a little more on par for those who are walk-​ins, that they would have a lot more business than they currently do. Service is always the asterisk when coming here.

I go here a lot with one of my friends whenever I’m in Eugene. It’s close to his house so it’s super convenient. I can’t say that the service is really all that great here but the environment and the food makes up for it.
Every time I’ve gone here the food was great. I usually just get the burger with tator tots and a side salad with ranch. The burgers are pretty good. Definitely doesn’t taste like a cheap bar burger.
They have a pretty wide variety of beers on tap as well which I love. The environment. Is great. Lots of space at the bar and it’s very open with lots of tv’s. Defiantly a great place to go for dinner or to get the evening started.

A very clean bar. Lots of sports on TV. Private room is off the hook. Good apetizers. I recommend the sweet potato fries. Staff was very fun and friendly. The general seating area can be a bit noisy especially if there are some rabid fans watching some sporting event … snore … haha

I came here because it was the only place we could find with the NFL game we were looking for. I quickly read the reviews and got a bit nervous because of all the bad ones.
My experience here was actually great and my boyfriend and I will for sure be back! It’s really nice inside, lots of seating, tons of TVs! Our server was so nice and recommended different beers on tap. We ordered the nachos as a snack while we watched the game and let me say… BEST nachos I’ve had in a LONG time! Had some type of melted delicious queso nacho cheese under a bunch of great toppings. If anything I’ll be back for the nachos!
We did have a really annoying man sitting alone right next to us that didn’t wanna leave us alone… But I can definitely look past that hahah

Jesus this place is loud on game days. Not just regular sports fan loud, but deafening. I see why they have so many open tables on game day. They need to do something to dampen the noise.
Good bar food though! They have some unique snacks, not just your average fries and nachos. I love the Green Bean Fries, which I could previously only find at TGIF, which we don’t have in Eugene.
Lot of booths with ‘private’ TVs. I wish the booths were a little more comfy though, and not all right next to the loud bar. I would prefer them in the back.

I’m a fan but it’s not because of the food or service.
Our server was hard to find at times but she was nice overall. The food was probably better than what I get at my local sports bar in Seattle. Huge nachos!
The best part of Side Bar is the prices. Happy hour during all NFL games! $ 3 bloodys and wells, $ 2 drafts. All appetizers are also ½ off during the games. It’s a great deal.
They have TV’s all over the place and you can even get your own if you sit in a booth! They even have slot machines and a pool table.
Side Bar — move to Seattle so you can show these idiot bar owners how a sports bar should be run!
