Villard: Good Spirits
The pub is starting to make a name for itself because of its great atmosphere and service.


For those of us disheartened by McMenamins' recent decline in atmosphere, service and tastiness, a pub just starting to make a name for itself may offer hope.

The Villard Street Pub, located on Villard Street between Franklin and 15th, brings back the comfortable and good-spirited ambiance once distinctive of Oregon taverns. Eugene pub-goers, all hail the return of good food and great times.

The pub, which opened early in 2006, is finding distinct identity among Eugene's pub scene.

Despite its urban surroundings, the pub generates a Northwest mountain lodge feel. Not, however, as though you would expect to see a man dressed in a fur-lined coat and snow boots come tromping in, carrying a rifle and a dead quail.
