My friend and I stumbled into this bar on a Monday night. They did offer free pool which was nice. I drank a PBR and ate a hamburger and played about three games of pool. Everything seemed pretty nice until I went back to get another PBR, that's when the bartender told me that I was cut off. I thought she was for sure kidding, I had only had one beer that entire night, but when it became obvious that she was not kidding I asked why. She told me that the bouncer had cut me off, I was very surprised at this and asked her which bouncer had cut me off. Instantly, she became very defensive and quickly told me that she did not remember which bouncer it was but that it did not matter because they were both three times the size of me. I thought this is crazy! Are the bouncers going to take me out back? What did I do to deserve this!? With my mouth wide open, I went back to my seat and just sat bewildered. I have never been treated so poorly at a bar, I quickly turned to my friend and told him we should get out of this place as soon as possible. We left and went across the street to starlight, which is a much nicer, cleaner bar, with a much friendlier staff. I will never return to horse head and would suggest the same to anyone I cared about.

I have not been back to the horse head for almost 2 years if it has changed much i am sure it's only gotten better. Does that gorgeous waitress with glasses and short black hair still work there? God talk about a crush I should have asked her to come with me when I left Eugene.

Wow--best BBQ ribs EVER! With awesome red beans and rice (are those chunks of BBQ Pork in there?!!!!) and cooked-just-right fresh collard greens with bacon. Generous portions of deliciously-prepared food--What a DEAL!!! Honestly, I'm not that thrilled with the atmosphere...the ripped up chairs and old carpet are pretty funky (service is GREAT, once you get it...you might have to remind them)...but I've definitely come across some interesting people in the place. If you're looking for "local flavor", you won't be disappointed. And I do appreciate the local art displays! If you're not down for all of that, they do offer food to go for an extra buck or two. Not a better deal in town for high-quality food well outside of the "burger, pizza or Chinese" mentality.

I love horses. And beer. And patios. This place has it all!! The front patio is prime people watching, while the back one is where all the cool people go. That's where I was.
