Max's Tavern

550 East 13th Avenue
Eugene, OR 97401
(541) 349-8986
The much beloved UO campus area institution has been recently renovated and is still chock full of crusty regulars, hempy hippies, happy hipsters, and college doods galore. Afternoons are the best time to drink from a tall frosty mug and chat it up with the friendly bartenders.

1x Pool table + live music regularly

Max's - A place to drink

Aah yes, it is great to hear that Max's still rules, I used to drink there periodically around the mid 1990's, and it's refreshing to hear that this sacred space is still in existence. Nice.

Max's

Max's is an awsome tavern!!! There are alot of punk frat-boy types, but they're offset by the cool local's. They have a goofy door guy who thinks and dresses like 'The Fonz', but he's harmless & means well.

It even made Neil Diamond seem cool ...

It was a balmy July night when I was first introduced to Max's Tavern, located conveniently on 13th street, mere blocks from the UO.

Bowls of fresh buttery popcorn adorned the tables (which I'm now convinced is the perfect bar food) inlayed with chess boards. We hadn't come for chess though, we had come for one thing: beer. And lots of it.

Which was a good thing for us, because Max's Tavern has a good selection of it on tap, from Guiness to PBR, and Mirror Pond to Broken Halo.

Next thing we knew, it was closing time, and I for the first time experienced the power of 15 smashed Eugenians singing Neil Diamonds "Sweet Caroline" at the top of their lungs and pounding the tables and rattling the popcorn bowls. Neil Diamond is so much more manageable when you've got a gut full of Guiness and are eyeing the pretty bartender lady who you've been giving 260% tips to for the latter half of the night.

The best part about the joint, I found, was the service. The bartenders are nice and personable, and always stop by the table to see if you need another beer ... and another, and another, and another ... No, I take it back, the best part of Max's is the complete lack of frat boys (I guess they're all down the street at Taylor's). Combine that with the service, and you've got a first class boozing establishment for anyone with an aversion to popped collars.
