i’ve been going there on and off for many years but just started going again. I go every Friday and Saturday now and I just love it. The people are friendly. I’ve been going to try to meet a woman and I’ve met lots of nice ones. The bands are great. The bartenders are wonderful. The atmosphere is really nice. I highly recommend it and I’ve been to many night clubs in my life.

There were sparse customers having breakfast in the atmosphere of a restaurant and a bar, but I sat at the bar and drank beer. She was a kind bartender and it seems like a place where you can take a break in the morning.

We had a reservation for 30 people. The time between the first person served and the last was an hour and a half. Only one waitress, who ran like crazy, and I assume only one cook. The food was mediocre and the acoustics were terrible!

I love this place! I cannot say anything bad at all. Parking I thought was going to be an issue, but it's not. There's more parking along the side & back of Embers. They have live music which is the best. I know "The Survivors" that play at Embers every 3rd weekend of the month & they are just about as spectacular as you could imagine & I'm not just saying that cause I know them. I say that cause they really are the best band I've heard & they play at Embers which has the BEST food EVER!!!

The bar has live bands on weekends. Has a dance floor. They have good drinks with reasonable prices. The cocktail waitresses and bartender are friendly. The Embers bar has been there for decades and has a loyal following of patrons. Everybody there was extremely friendly and welcoming. The parking lot is shot and needs to be replaced but there's lots of space. The door into the bar is not handicapped accessible unless someone opens and holds the door for you which someone did every time-the people of Eugene are extremely helpful and friendly.

Decided to stay in that area due to the close proximity of the airport. Area looks a little bit rough but we walked down to the Embers and had a wonderful time... food was good and reasonable, listen to some karaoke, had a nice feel due to all the locals. The karaoke was the most fun!
