Wetlands Brew Pub & Sports Bar

Is it just me, or is this more of a redneck get-together? It made me extremely uncomfortable how obnoxious, inconsiderate, and rambunctious the crowd was, and I'm pretty sure the majority of them are at least in their late 20s. I like that I don't really see college kids (even though I, myself, am one too but I get frequently annoyed with the college crowd) and the whole TV at every booth is kinda cool too, although rather distracting.

I came here just to play pool and have a beer but just couldn't stay long. The impression I got from the people HERE was that they are Springfield/Roseburg locals who think driving the extra mile to Eugene is almost like seeing Chicago for the first time for them.

Maybe Fridays aren't a good day to come here. Someone played Nickelback here. How much worse can it get?

When we head out for an evening, we dont normally hit up Wetlands, but this last Saturday, this is where we ended up.  I've been here quite a few times since living in Eugene, for some reason I can't really groove with this place.

The one major plus side is they have a great selection of brewha's on tap.  They offer Boneyard IPA on tap which is one of my favorite IPA's. They also roll with Ninkasi's IPA and HUB IPA also.  The only downer was that the Boneyard IPA was flat.  

The group I was with ordered food, but I didn't dive into it...I was too busy sippin' my flat Boneyard.  I did end up making the switch to Whisky and 7 due to the lack of carbonation.

The crew behind the bar did a great job of getting everyone taken care of quickly, and stayed up on the tables making sure everyone was taken care of.  I like it when bartenders pay attention to more than just the bar.  Realizing that they have customers sitting at tables is just as important as taking care of the folks who are bellyed up!

From what I hear, this place is really fun to go to for UFC fights, and major sporting events.  Super Bowl, Duck Games, World Series etc...Yes I catagorized Duck Football as a Major Sporting Event!

I dont want to completely count this place out yet....especially since we are out west and this is about a 10 minute drive from the new pad.

I'm torn on this review. On one hand, I always enjoy my time at this five star dive bar. On the other hand, some of the girls only have one.

This is a great bar to go to if you like cheap drinks, delicious food, and 55 year old retired truck drivers.  The atmosphere is a bit tap-out ish and their are a vast plethora of method men (think about it).

The patio is pretty open and awesome and smoker friendly, which is a
Plus, especially for the method men.
