Fantastic and fun place! We had a bartender than mentioned that he moved up from east Hollywood that made the best French 75 drink that my girlfriend has ever had! He made the drinks with a level of care and precision that I honestly don’t know if I’ve ever seen.
If you’re in Ashland definitely make a stop here for fun drinks and check out the beautiful and relaxing patio by the river Oberon’s shares with several other great restaurants on that street. Ashland is definitely in the top three best cities in Oregon and Oberon’s should be on the short list of best bars in town!

I come here every year to my OSF trip, and let me tell you, they NEVER disappoint. Tonight king Scottie made these BOMB nachos, 10/10 + Gyosi was absolutely an incredible bartender who made the best lavender lemon drop ( I come from Portland, so that’s a huge compliment) There was some commotion going on with a guy and Gyosi handled things quickly and swiftly keeping us safe and calling police . 10/10 for BOTH of these wonderful guys!

I came in on the Fourth of July. It wasn’t super busy but definitely had a few people waiting on drinks. A couple people were ahead of me. . The male bartender working had no urgency and was talking away. Ok, that’s fine no biggie. Then I notice he wasn’t helping me when it was my turn. More and more people came up to the bar and he kept helping people who came in after me. Finally a nice lady came out from back cleaning up behind the bar. I nicely asked her if their was a reason I wasn’t being helped and people are being helped before me and I’ve been waiting for a while with my ID and cash in my hand. She apologizes and pour me a drink. She was wonderful. The guy bartending that night sucks.

The locals have been protesting this bar since new owners / management have shifted so much & lost the focus. This is Ashland's iconic medieval bar: bring back the mead & lamb shanks! Why are you trying to serve tacos & nachos that aren't even that good? & A poor selection of drinks that are overpriced? Oberons, we love you & want you to succeed – but this ain't it. Stick with what is tried & true. Go back to the basics & reclaim the Renaissance Roots!! We all love & miss you for it!!!

The old atmosphere was WAY better. I spent $22 on nachos and got soggy chips as soon as they can out of the kitchen and it was a single layer of chips. Such a small portion. Also ordered mozzarella sticks ($15,) and they gave us 6, let me repeat that 6 mozzarella sticks. I miss the old Oberon. Drinks were good, just over priced. Don't come in if you are expecting decent portions and a good experience.

Visited Oberons on a Thursday evening. The bar was dead besides a DJ and friends that were setting up for a Juneteenth dance party. We ordered 2 spicy margaritas (which were not spicy) some mozzarella sticks and two Southwest salads. The 2 salads came out first. They were small and didn't have much substance despite being the entree. Then the drinks arrived, and then the mozzarella sticks, which were served cold. The bartender was not friendly, in fact we didn't feel welcomed at all. When it was time to get the bill the bartender took her sweet time, even though the bar was dead. Cool atmosphere and convenient location.

Gyasi is extremely rude to the female bartender Kamariah I have seen her crying multiple times there and she still does her job she is super sweet and a great bartender I watched him take her simple syrup and dump it down the drain while she was serving customers he is super slow at making drinks and always serves male customers over female customers and has always ignored me and my partner when I have been there I love the bar and the vibes when Kamariah is there but would never go there if he was there alone

The won’t answer their phone. We showed up because it said they were open and the band was on stage talking to the bartender but said it was closed.
I was visiting for an evening and was so excited to check this place out. SO EXCITED. A Midsummer Night’s Dream is my favorite Shakespeare play and I reaaally wanted to go to a themed place after seeing a show at OSF.
We walked in and the front room was so over-crowded we could barely get in. There seemed to be a birthday party going on that was taking the entire space.
We were not greeted, there was no clear protocol (do we seat ourselves? Where’s the menu so we can see what food is offered?) The crowd seemed to be looking at us like we were unwelcome and/or intruding on their fun. People were standing in the walkway and didn’t really want to move when asked.
Every time I tried to go to the bar to inquire about menus and such, I was ignored and stepped in front of.
Basically this place has the weirdest (in a bad way), most unwelcoming, disorganized vibe. We left after several attempts to be served (and had a hell of a time trying to even get out due to the aforementioned overcrowding).
Unfortunately, this experience damn near ruined what was otherwise a great night. Would give zero stars if I could. I cannot adequately communicate my utter disappointment. Do. Better.

Only did a four because no one is perfect! But I’m an out of Towner (cali) this was a vibe. Good music, good food we had appetizers, music was on point and workers were chill and friendly. This is a great spot!!! Do not miss out, this a must spot to at least at minimum have two beers. Perfect spot to sit at if you want to people watch!
