Shown great hospitality at this bar.
Simple, in a Eugene strip mall.
Did the job.
I had a little time to kill and wanted a quick one. Â Wasn't feeling well, so had a well drink----$2.50.
Couple of crazy ladies chatting, but the bar was a plain and simple lotto type bar in a strip mall.
They thanked me for coming in.
This used to be Sunset Island.
Q: What's Sunset Island, Josh?
A: Good question!
Roughly 2-3 years ago, this place opened up. Â We only went here a few times when it first opened. Â We really couldn't get into a groove with this place. Â The food was mehhhh, and the drinks were forgetable.
When I came here on Friday to meet up with a few other Yelpers, I realized this place still hasn't changed much...just the name has.
We sat down and ordered some drinks. Â My friends ordered Jello Shots, I went with the Ninkasi Total Domination. Â As for, "What's on the taps", they had 3 selections. Â Total Domination, PBR, and I THINK budweiser....could be wrong on the last one. Â But still.....3 taps. Â It drives me nuts when I go to a bar and I have to choose from a limited selection. Â I was pleased with the Total Domination, but this beer was NOT good. Â Something was funky with it. Â I couldn't quite figure out what was wrong with the brew, but it reminded me of BO! Â You know that musky, funky, WTF!?!? smell....That's not how Total Domination is supposed to taste...
The menu was bland. Â Strict bar food. Â Almost everything was priced at $5.00 or maybe $7 max. Â I liked the cheap price, but the price matched the quality. I ordered Chicken Strips and Fries. Â When it came out, I got 3 medium-small strips and some sub par fries. Â The fries weren't exactly "crispy" and as they cooled down, those suckers started to get really hard. Hmm....
My friend really wanted the spinach artichoke dip, but they were out. Â Our waitress noted that she had been working there for about 8 months and they have never had it in stock....OK? Â Take it off the menu maybe? Call me crazy.... Â Then he asked for the zucchini sticks! Â But those were also out!!! Â His follow up question was perfect by asking, "well what DO you have on the menu?" Â Everything else except those 2 items. Hmm....
I think the service was great and friendly, there's no doubt about that!!! But the location is kinda odd, and the space is pretty small. Â I would stop here for a quick drink, but I wouldn't come here on a night to get crazy.
Dankass jello shots!
No seriously! That's what the board says! And boy do they pack a punch. Those are twice as alcoholic as my own.
Don't go here for the food. It's pretty awful. They were out of half the menu, which only has 8 or 9 items on it, all of which are just bar snacks. Word is, they've had their spinach artichoke dip on the menu for a long time, but have NEVER actually had it in stock. Even zucchini sticks, which are frozen, were out. The nachos were just a flat spread of sad chips with cheese melted on them.
Service was friendly, but otherwise non-existent. Took a long time to get served or get any refills, even though the owner walked by numerous times. Apparently she doesn't top off drinks or serve people though, and our very friendly serving girl disappeared.
Go here for the dankass jello shots, avoid it before dark, and don't eat here.
