16 Tons Beer & Wine

Not the warmest environment, but the staff are friendly and considerate and they've got a great selection. A little pricy, but looks to be worth becoming a member further down the road for the reasonable growler prices.

Always spend my class breaks here when I'm in eugene.  Been going here since the beginning and really enjoyed the staff.  They were smart and happy to help.  A few bumps along that road but everyone I've encountered in the last year or so has been awesome.  Great local beer selection and the ever-changing taps make it great place to shop and have a pint.

Sad to say I'm not a member but my brother is so 16 tons is always his pick to meet at for happy hour. I love the selection and the holiday tasting event turned me on to some amazing beers that I would've been afraid to try because of their bottle price but after tasting I will buy! I am of the mind set that beer and coffee are as complex as wine and therefore should be priced accordingly and more consumers should be informed of this. Someone spent a lot of hard work crafting it to perfection and your bar tender/barista has to learn about each and everyone in order to serve it you.

I felt like I was in cheers when the owner walked in, he knew almost everyone and if he didn't he introduced himself. My husband and I had a 30 min conversation with him about beer and he told us of places to go in Portland. This is one of the only place in Eugene where the owner is visibly hands on & personally making his customers happy and he knows what it is to support other business'.

The cafe on 29th is amazing!!!! They are serving Water Ave coffee to its true potential unlike The Barn Light. Every coffee drink I've had was steamed to perfection, The Barn Light on the other hand don't seem to know the difference between a latte & a cappuccino and their lattes aren't reach & creamy. On a recent visit to Water Ave in Portland while talking to a barista it came up that I was from Eugene and she said oh you can get our coffee at The Barn Light so I told her that I've had poor drinks from them but the 16 tons cafe has them and is doing an excellent job. I hope she passed it on to the owner.

Both locations are great and serve amazing beer & coffee!
