12 Best Wine Bars in Eugene

“Great wine and great service“

“A fantastic Friday evening wine tasting. We reserved a table perfect for us and our grandkids. We adults are vaccinated and boostered and wanted a place safe for us and our unvaccinated 2 and 3 year old. The owners and staff were super accommodating! We had delicious excellent Pinot Noir( 92 Wine Enthusiast rating) and-a súper Cabernet Sauvignon. Very accommodating. Wait staff always masked which we are so thankful for. Very accommodating and great customer service. We will definitely return. PS had food from the ramen truck- superb!!“

“Great venue for events and tasty libations. The staff believes in this place. I will be returning.“

“I was surprised at how comfortable this space is. They have more of a pub feel than other growler places. The ipa selection is one of the best in a town where ipa rules. The prices are good too. This is the only growler fill station where I'd stop for a pint. Tons of parking, outside seating as well. Friendly bartender. Good happy hour specials.“

“A beautiful spot to enjoy a glass of wine & fresh creative food delicacy. A true special occasion destination.“

“It's truly amazing what Jerry has done to improve this place since taking over for Mike. It's cleaner, more coolers and no warm stock. There's a sink for staff now and the general renovations such as paint, flooring and more seating have done wonders for the ambiance. Patrick and Ben are great beertenders too. They always have good advice for me!“

“A very chill and casual atmosphere. One I will visit again.“

“Always delicious uniquely crafted food and drinks and fantastic service.“

“We arrived shortly before closing, and we were still welcomed. The food, the decor, and the atmosphere was superb. Fresh, local ingredients are combined in surprisingly creative and delicious ways. We started with a Last Word Sour, and it was one of best cocktails I have ever had. The burrata, heirloom tomato, and nasturtium tartine was exponentially more flavorful than we imagined, as was every other dish that followed. The dish with panisse was delicious and well-balanced, the tomato sauce on the rigatoni was so bright and fresh, and the salmon was cooked to perfection. We finished our meal with a lemon semi-freddo, and it was combined with a corn-based crumble that was shockingly delicious. Thank you, Lion & Owl for a memorable meal!! 10/10!!“

“The staff is great. They are super friendly and very knowledgeable.“

“Ah, Bar Purlieu— Eugene’s sly wink to Paris, tucked along Willamette like it’s hiding from the drizzle and waiting for someone who understands that butter is not an ingredient, it’s a worldview. At the helm is Chef Trevor Rivera, who cooks like a man fluent in both restraint and indulgence — a rare bilingualism in Eugene. You walk in and the lighting does that flattering thing French rooms do — dim enough to forgive, bright enough to seduce. The chalkboard menu reads like a postcard from Lyon written by someone who’s been drinking since noon. There’s filet mignon, of course. There has to be. And when it arrives, the steak wears its sear like a medal earned in battle. The pommes frites stacked beside it on the appetizer plate sits with the quiet arrogance of something that knows Belgium and France have argued over them for centuries. A quick drag through the shallot-laced pan sauce and suddenly you’re contemplating the Napoleonic wars for no good reason. The escargot? Swimming in Persillade Compound Butter — parsley and garlic whipped into submission — so unapologetic it could broker peace between vampires and mortals. You mop it up with baguette that cracks audibly — the culinary equivalent of snapping a well-made cigar. Somewhere, Auguste Escoffier nods in approval. Winter belongs to the Smoked Duck & Buckwheat Crêpe — earthy, faintly nutty buckwheat wrapped around smoky duck that tastes like it spent the afternoon considering its life choices over a wood fire. It’s rustic without being sloppy, elegant without being precious. The kind of dish that makes you slow down whether you planned to or not. Wine here isn’t a beverage; it’s a narrative device. A Beaujolais that starts playful and ends brooding. A Sancerre sharp enough to slice through the Willamette Valley fog. You sip, you lean back, you wonder why Americans ever thought we needed ranch dressing. Dessert arrives with that theatrical French flourish — crème brûlée, its caramelized top shattering like the Bastille under the tap of a spoon. Inside: silk. Sweet, restrained, devastating. Bar Purlieu isn’t trying to reinvent France. It’s reminding you why France mattered in the first place — technique, indulgence, and the radical idea that dinner should linger. In a town powered by coffee and earnestness, it feels delightfully, deliciously decadent.“
