Got charged full price for happy hour mules. They don't show an itemized receipt when you pay so I didn't see the error until I got it texted to me after paying. Feels kinda shady that they only show the total price to you

I love doing karaoke and stand up comedy. Great sound system.Good priced drinks and sexy bartenders.

Could be a cool place, when I visited in years past it was, but now anytime I pop in, there's NOBODY at the bar or even in line of sight. I gave up multiple times after standing there for more than 10 minutes.

Terrible experience. Owner was rude and unreasonable. I would pay 10 times the cost to go anywhere else. I will actively try to discourage people from spending money at this establishment.

Absolutely worst bartender I've ever came across, saturday night 11/11. She was on her phone for five minutes, then finally acknowledges me and harshly "asks what do you want?" I ask for a pbr, then when I go to pay her I say "keep the dollar, thanks for getting up and pouring me a drink." She goes excuse me? What did you say? I say what you, want another dollar? As I'm about to give her another one, thinking maybe she's had a bad day, she tells me I can leave. I left and will never be back there again.

Barnlight is one of my favorite joints in town! They have some of the best cocktails in downtown Eugene by far! They are always coming up with new, delicious and creative recipes. Karaoke is always fun and the bartenders put on a great show!! Friendly staff and a warm atmosphere, this bar will have you feeling right at home.

My favorite cozy bar in town. Staff and regulars are great people and lots of fun to spend time with. Don't come for the food, but they always invite you to bring food from other local spots. Most nights, it's relatively quiet and great for conversation. That said, if you come on Thursday or Friday, be prepared for trivia and karaoke (Tionna and Brett are the best in town)!

Good drinks and friendly staff! Sad shuffleboard. Many pucks are missing blue or red color and the amount of silicone sand for the table is minimal.

First walking in, your impression of a hip and creatively fun vibe fills you with hope for a good time. Groups of friends seated at tables and the bar, concentrating on their trivia games. But after waiting a while at the bar to be asked which drinks we wanted, we got a distinct impression that this is a very clicky place and if you weren't part of their crowd they definitely made you feel it. You realize that the bar has regulars that the bartenders seem to favor. One of the (newer) bartenders seemed to be completely put off by our very presence. Every interaction was met with a curt or rude demeanor. Our group ended up ordering plenty of drinks but the attitude never changed. You should believe the other reviews that talk about the bartenders because our experience definitely confirmed it. Too bad, another Eugene bar off our list, which I imagine is totally fine with them. I gave them 3 stars because I guess if you're part of their crowd you probably love the place.

No food? I use to love this place, so this is hard to give a low review...but we went there around 8:00pm on a Thursday for food and drinks and the bartender said you guys don't do food anymore? We were told we could go get pizza, so we just ended up going somewhere else for drinks, sadly. I hope this changes soon? I use to love your food! And I feel more comfortable if food is available while drinking.

The Barn Light is as cozy, welcoming, friendly, and yummy as ever. I moved away from Eugene but always like to visit here when I'm back in town. All the cocktails we had were fantastic and you can never go wrong with the shots & beer. Jason and Skye were both welcoming, wonderful, and fantastic with a drink!

Yesterday afternoon, i had the tastiest lavender infused cocktail, the Butterfly Kiss. It was so good I returned this afternoon after having raved to friends and having posted reviews to social media. Boy, what a disappointment. First, the drink looked a lot paler with just a hint of the beautiful lavender color and non of that layer of cloudy lemon juice at the base. The bigger disappointment was the lack of any flavor. There was none of the tartness, no lavender. After a couple of sips, I explained, or rather, I tried to explain to the disheveled bartender my previous experience with the cocktail. He was dismissive but offered another drink. I decided to keep it simple and asked for a vodka tonic. Can't mess that up, right?. Wrong. What I was served was a vodka soda. I really did like this bar, and its drinks. Now, after voicing my disappointment, I am banned. Lavender infused vodka cocktails are not exclusive to this bar, so no big deal, really. Cheers, disheveled a**hole bartender dude-guy-person. "Let's be honest about what happened.' Busi ess Manager reply. Yes, let's be honest. It is true. I was offered another cocktail as I was leaving. And, yes, I did give a flippant response, which was deserved for the dismissive behavior of the bartender leading up to my departure. Let's not forget that I did offer to pay for the drinks and that I did speak with the young lady who showed up shortly before I left. I did compliment her for the drink she'd served the previous afternoon, the very drink that inspired a trip back. As I stated previously, I expressed to friends and associates how I was impressed by the cocktail. The second drink i ordered was a vodka tonic. I was served a vodka soda instead. Let's not forget that, either. Both drinks, I handed back after the initial sips. I do regret that I did not take shots of the Butterfly Kiss I was served to post here for comparison. BTW, I did not just randomly wander into this bar for the first time yesterday. Am I sorry that I've been banned? Lol. I am not. Cute bar, but it's nothing special. Lastly, whatever happened to "the customer is always right"? Photo is of the original drink. Wish I'd taken one of today's for comparison.

Super chill spot to play some shuffleboard and listen to music. Drinks are solid and staff is great. Caught a comedy show on a Sunday night, was a good

The bartenders were foul. They made terrible remarks about customers. I felt sad for the transgender person they were talking about. I saw them sneaking drinks. This made for a very uncomfortable night, we wanted to stay for Karaoke, the only positive thing there on a Monday, but Taylor made us very uncomfortable. If those two bartenders are there, leave!
