barTini bistro — Restaurant in Eugene

barTini bistro is one of my favorite places in town to enjoy a few drinks with my wife. It's a small establishment that has a pretty good balance of feeling cozy & upscale. The drinks have always been great. They're reasonably priced for this type of bistro. They have a good selection of alcohol, and they were able to make my favorite drink, the Industry Sour. There aren't many places around town that have Fernet Branca and Green Chartreuse. I've also tried a few of their other drinks and I've liked them all. They also have mocktails and food. I had one of their charcuterie boards the first time I went and it was pretty good. I think they're food options change, and we haven't really tried much of it, so I can't speak on it too much.

The service has been great the times we've gone. The staff have been friendly and pretty attentive. Be advised, it's a small spot. During their busy hours, I am sure that their seating wait times aren't short. Although the service has been great for us, I could say that if you go expecting things to move fast during their busy hours, you'll want to be a little patient with the staff. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking for a quick drink. I would recommend it if you're looking for a place to sit and take it easy. This place gives chill/cozy/date night vibes. If you don't like small and "tight/crowded" places, consider visiting during their less busy times. The last time we went, it got busy, and we had people sitting around us within a foot or two away. For us, this wasn't a problem, but it's worth mentioning.

I think this place shines the most at night, pun intended. Inside, it's dark, lit up by cute chandeliers, and warm LED candles/lights on the table. The outside is lit up by the warm orange glow of the fire pits. I'm not sure if that's year-round or only on the colder evenings, but it's such a nice touch when they're on.

Who would I recommend this place to?

Couples, friends, and family (21+) that want to grab a few drinks in a cozy, modern, Parisian style bistro. It's a good spot to hang out, have conversations, have some good laughs while sipping on some great cocktails, without the craziness that you get in some other establishments here in Eugene. At least, that has been my experience when I've visited. Prices aren't crazy, but they're not cheap. I can't remember how much we paid exactly, but I'm going to estimate about $12 - $14 for...

After searching and searching for parking, we entered this quaint, quiet bar excited for charcuterie! We were offered both indoor and outdoor seating. The drink Menu was vast! They offered a 2 page menu for cocktails, and another 2 page menu for beer / wine. The white wine options were somewhat scarce... While we were deciding we couldn't help to notice how small/quiet the space felt. The decor was perfectly placed though. We had to ask for a food menu as it was not offered up front. The drinks and food were somewhat slow to come out especially seeing as the place only had 2 other tables with people at them. The food menu was charcuterie only but offered a range of classic, Greek, pub style, spicy and more board options. We ordered the "legend" board which featured pumpkin spread and chorizo, a match that I was curious about especially paired with cashews and blackberries. For the price, the quantity and quality was very fair! It would have actually been the perfect size appetizer for a 4 top even though the two of us devoured ours! 😅 This is the perfect spot if your just getting off work with the gals and want a drink + fancy snack! I will add that this establishment is LGBTQ...

I can’t even begin to express how much I absolutely LOVE this bar. There’s nothing better than going to a public place like this and feeling like you’ve been there a million times. Alison is my favorite bartender and I wish that I had service like hers at every other bar in eugene but unfortunately that’s not the case. The staff in general is so friendly and welcoming, the food tastes good, is fun, and is delivered with a smile and in a timely manner every time! Let’s be honest though, you go a cocktail bar for the cocktails, and Bartini DOES NOT MISS. So many fun and creative twists on classic drinks, and different options for all wants and needs. I’ve been in with a few friends who don’t drink alcohol and Bartini’s Mocktails were so good that it made them feel just as welcomed. If you can’t tell by how long my review is, let me just say one more time… I...
