I came here shortly after the place opened for a staff lunch. At that time, I found the food and experience to be above average and promising.
Fast forward to last night... A friend invited us to meet them there for Trivia Night, so I was looking forward to something similar to what I had initially experienced.
Sadly, I don't think I've ever had a more disappointing eating experience in my 28 years in Eugene. My "banger" was dry, tough, and tasteless.... almost like it had been sitting under a heat lamp most of the afternoon. Same with my side order of Bacon-Gorgonzola Fries... dry, tough, and "old." I think what we got was staged holdovers from the lunch menu, that likely didn't sell at lunchtime. Just a guess.
The staff was pleasant enough, which is nice. But that's not enough to offset the $52 I paid (...not including the tip!) for 2 drinks, 2 horrid bangers, and a plate of old/stale tasting fries.
In retrospect, I should have asked for a refund after the first bite. Also, for establishments like this that have you pay before you get the food... I will be taking cash to tip post-meal, if the meal warrants it.

$17.99 for what they called a Chicago dog w/fries. If anyone from Chi-town orders this they will throw it at the wall. First off, it was a 12/1 Hebrew National dog. Should be an 4/1 dog at least for that ridiculous price. But the picture they had showed a 1/4 lb dog, so be careful when you order. Not only did I not get an appropriate dog, but it was cold. Place was stupid busy with beer chugging dads and the families they dragged with them, so I couldn't get back up to the counter in a reasonable amount of time. No table service at the time. Not sure they ever have it.
This was the second time we had been in. The first time we ordered Brats. They split them open and cook them to death. They are dry and crunchy. Its like the owner/cook doesn't get the concept of what people want when they order sausages or dogs. No dry or crunchy requested. And they "can't " cook them without splitting apparently. Wierd that I used to do so for years when I was a cook. Based on the amount of drunks and olds in the place I would assume the place is perfect if you have no taste buds.

The name is no lie, this place has bangers and brews aplenty. All sorts of bangers from brats to beef hotdogs to elk meat and more, and a wide variety of sauces and toppings too. We tried a basic banger, a Chicago Dog, a chorizo banger and some bacon gorgonzola fries; all delicious. The ciders were good too.

My first time in. In had the excellent reindeer sausage with kraut, caramelized onions and mustard. The garden salir was super fresh and good. Oh and a Irish Red beer. An EXCELLENT meal! I live thus place. Very friendly staff and ultra clean bathrooms. A+++
Great beer selection and a crazy selection of sausages. There's always something interesting to try. The place can get busy and they have outdoor seating. We brought kids and they had fun with the games that were outside.

They have great options and if you want to try exotic meats then this is a place you can do it. However all the sausages our table got were overcooked and dry. Maybe it was just an off day though.

We felt welcomed the moment we walked in the door. The owners came by several times to chat and be sure we had everything we needed. We weren't sure what we wanted and they were helpful and encouraging for new things. Nearly everything is sourced in Oregon, most thing local with fresh made bread and pretzels daily. We will definitely be back!!
