This place was suggested by some 'family' friends as a place that was friendly to the LGBTQ community. We found it very much so. The atmosphere is relaxed, yet upscale, and there seems to be a type of micro environment for everyone: 2 somewhat secluded pool tables with amazing lighting and wallcoverings, a sofa lounge area, high bar tables with stools, low tables and soft seating, a long open bar, serveal large TV's for sports events, and a large fenced and covered patio that offers heaters for cool evenings. The staff was extremely friendly and outgoing. The happy hour drink specials are very generous and seem to serve all types of clientelle. The only drawback we found upon our visit was the food menu. Although the food is brought in from across the street (mutual owners) we found it extremely heavy on battered and deep fried foods. There were no fresh food offerings to choose from. It would be nice for them to make a move toward fresher bar food like so many others have done. A nice cheese and fruit place would be great. Salads of different varieties, and a grilled chicken or fish offereing would be great. That said, we will definately be coming back for more fun at Jameson's!

This is a place you can actually go and enjoy a drink before the young crowd comes in after 9. Very relaxing and you can actually get to know the people. Happy Hour pricing is wonderful and don't forget to tip. Dawn ad Heidi along with a host of other rock my world.

It was the first time I had ever been to this bar. I really enjoyed the soft but intense music, I could swear that it was Portishead... The red lights and entire crowd aura made me feel very comfortable and relaxed...matched with a stiff drink, respectable employee's and good conversation made the night very great for me and my company.

I would def go on a date there it's a nice place to meet up with friends as well.I usually see happy smiling people out back and the Staff is really nice and they treat everyone with decency which is hard to find downtown. I love the black and red colors and the lighting it creates a sexy atmosphere that is all the same sensual and comforting.

Only been to Jameson's once and definitely won't be back. I was in the bathroom washing my hands, and right when I was throwing the paper towel away the (manager/owner)? walked in. I had a runny nose so I snorted a little and wiped my nose... somehow this meant that I was just snorting coke and the manager told me to get the hell out of his bar. I looked at him incredulously and asked what the fuck he was talking about. He says that he just saw me throw some coke away in the trash can and to get out now or he'd call the cops. I told him that I wasn't snorting anything and that even if I were the evidence would be right there in the trash can in front of us. He makes a half assed attempt to paw through the paper towels in the trash and then tells me to just get out or he's calling the cops. Fucking wanker.

I was really disappointed -- THIS is what Eugene considers swanky? It's dirty, weirdly lit and filled with pool tables / Pearl Jam holdouts. Yeesh.

As crowded as the Horse Head, but with an even more annoying rich college kid crowd. Bartenders are easily offended and service is poor, but still slightly better than average for Eugene.

jameson's... the bouncers will tell you they don't do specials, and there's never entertainment either. awesome! just aloof bartenders that count their tips with a crowded bar waiting, and i was still waiting for them to put the lime on my drink, thanks. the crowd is usually disappointing..see a lot of guy-teaching-girl-to-play-pool, awkward high heels, and general immature bar vibe. the place wreaks of cheap perfume, cigarettes and desperation. a completely pointless and unimpressive place, made sadder by it's own self satisfaction. but what do i know, i'm from ny anyway.

Jamesons was originally Cafe Paradiso but it closed some years ago and was slightly remodeled. Jamesons is really chill. Its kind of dark inside but it stays very cool in hot weather. Even though I've only been maybe 7 times since the change-over, I've never encountered any unfriendly staff, or patrons for that matter. Happy hour includes Guinness, too! WOOT!

i think that the staff is chill along with the atmosphere thank you for having a heart i like your prices

I thouroughly enjoy the atmosphere and workers of this fine establishment. Beautiful hand done wood work on the bar and shelving. I, as an exhibiting artist, enjoy the rotation of local art, done by people who have a true passion and dedication to their work. Anyway it is a grreat place to sit and have a few drinks with your friends in a casual swanky bar.
