BarFly's Review of Samurai Duck (CLOSED)
Billed as Eugene's only "Metal Bar" samurai duck frequently features metal acts and stiff drinks poured by the super friendly bartenders. There is a smoking patio, and some weird sushi combo deli thing attached. If you are feeling ballsy, there s some Habu Sake that you can try (you know, that booze that comes with a dead coiled poisonious japanese snake inside)
2x Pool tables, pinball
Black Forest Tavern, Diablo's Downtown Lounge, Jameson's, Joggers, John Henry's, Luckey's Bar, SNAFU, Starlight Lounge, The Horsehead
The duck kicks ass. The music is loud and fucking metal!! The drinks are stiff and if you want your fucking teeth knocked out run your stupid fucking mouth to one of the regulars or staff and i promise someone will hook you up. You won't find a bunch of brads and ashleys ( college fucking jerk offs) which is always a plus. So put on your blackest metal shirt, your cut off black Jean shorts and your fucking game face and come to the duck for a night of ass kicking metal fucking madness.
i miss hangin at the duck! sure, the place isn't much to look at, but the drinks are good, the people fun. the music is loud. really loud :) there's pool to play, trouble to get into, fun to be had.
and i am SOOO craving a shot of habu sake right now!!!
The Samurai Duck is one of my favorite places in Eugene. It's just so fucking fun. I seldom make it downtown, but when I do I'm never disappointed at the Duck. Really cool servers and it's the only place I've seen in Oregon that serves habu sake.
No way to find out who's playing there. I always hear on Monday about the Bands I missed on Friday. Calling to see is usually a waste of time -- the talking chimp that usually answers the phone Gives some Smart Ass reply and we all decide not to Drive down to Eugene and see. One particular evening we knew what bands were there and called to find out what time the music started and this smart ass punk that answered the Phone said "Midnight" -- we ask " 4 Bands and they dont start till Midnight ? " He says " Yeah they are all gonna set up and play at the same time - One set. So the 4 of us did not drive down - did not attend - did not pay the cover - did not buy drinks. It would be different if we lived two blocks over and could just drop by but I have not intention of wasting our designated drivers time and driving 40 Miles when they cant be serious enough on the phone to give a straight answer. I hope someone at the Duck that pays the bills reads this. You should try calling in some night when you are away from your regular number and seeing how your representitive on the phone chases off your business. I'm sure his cutsie answers must really impress the girl thats standing there that he's trying to smooze but it DOES NOT IMPRESS OTHERS. Time to Clean House !
Oh my god that is so funny! I heard about that Becky chick! Yeah the "rude" bartender, who called you stupid for mistaking Bad Company for Rush, is George, and he is right! I love this place and I love the bartenders, they are damn near this lonely drunks family!! If you actually like metal, you will quickly become a regular here, we are very welcoming and we appreciate regular folks who are not your average jerk ass gross women-izing college types. I am wasted here most of the time, and have NEVER been hit on innapropriately, or bothered by any horney jerks like in most bars. (And that speaks pretty highly for the trustworthy men around here, because I am really hot!) So props to you Samurai! I wouldn't be me without you. Think I'm gonna go take some shots now! Later losers
ok so I spelled that wrong well, im drunk1! money spent well somewhere else!! I might just be drunk but tonight was my first night out sence the birth of my beautifull healthy 3 mnth old Riley Marie. I was so excited!! Everybody wanted to go to the horse head or diablos but not me!! I wanted nothing more then simple friendly sameri, ok maybe not friendly, but at leased comferatable, everybody argued!! "no that place is a dive" "come on Becky samerie cant even fix their ripped seats and the food in inedible even for the drunkest ass" but I wanted to go. you were the first bar i ever snuck into the first bar on my 21st and I wanted to make you my first bar after my birth. I mean, I probably consieved in your filthy bathroom. I was having a good time explaining to my gf how it was ok to spend alot on booze here it was worth the good time. Then something happend that would change my bar life forever. A song came on that I thought somunded like some later journey, keep in mind i was drunk, I wasnt sure but I knew it was a song I was familiar with and I had to know. I asked my frien and she said "maybe" she wasn't sure so I sheepishly asked the bar tender. he yelled out "no idiot it's Bad company by bad comany" I was so imbarassed. I argued w him and the bar for awail abiyut how he was dich but I felt so alienetated. my friends erged me to leave as I threww a onion ring at someone after they threw their straw at me. needless to say I will never be back to sameri duck, the bar I was in 3 days before I delivered my baby girl (not drinking just celerbrating) and for now on whne people sugest we try it or check out a band ther eI will laugh and ask then how they could consider such a dive. I hope you go out of buisiness soon. maybe a taboo or some knew shotty bar can take your place. beckstar152003@yahoo.com write back if you have anything to say june 26 1030 i was in my last time
If you're an arrogant jackoff who gets off putting on leather and going into public, and possibly drinking lots of alcohol, making out with goth women with STDs and listening to so-so black metal, this place is for you.
Show up drunk because you have to be drunk to even end up at this place. It is home to the few in eugene who will fight just to see blood and the live music is usually played for the same reason. The bartenders are great! This place is for one type of person: A Drunk. :] I love it!
