Kitchen is closed, no area to drink beer. I'm not sure if this is some temporary closure or a location change but the hours, menu and picture were misleading for us to drive 20 minutes only to be turned away.

Really sad this place closed. This place truly stands out with its unique takes on pub food, offering a delightful twist to classic favorites.The friendly staff contributed immensely to the welcoming atmosphere. The service was impeccable, and they were more than happy to share recommendations and accommodate any special requests.Now, let's talk about the food - extraordinary! Each dish was a creative masterpiece, showcasing a perfect blend of flavors and textures. From the first bite to the last, every dish was a culinary adventure. Even the basic burgers felt elevated. Beyond the gastronomic delights, the decor of the restaurant added another layer of enjoyment to our evening. The ambiance is chic and modern, with a cool and unique vibe that perfectly complements the innovative menu. It's evident that a lot of thought has gone into creating an environment that enhances the overall dining experience. A shame the new owners didn't keep it going.

Cozy place, the Sampler is interesting. Tried it, but rather stay with a simple beer. Good food, friendy Service.

Company Christmas Party, had fun, good parking, easy to get to, casual atmosphere, felt no pressures, the staff was super nice and friendly, couldn't ask for anything better

Went here for the first time to attend a work conference. The environment was comfortable & inviting. We received a speech from one of their employees and you can instantly gather that Ninkasi "loves their dirt" They are very involved in the community & their beer was phenomenal!

I went here because I like several Ninkasi beers, most notably the Megladom, and wanted to experience the whole vibe. Ehh... not worth it. Wings were good and it was a generous portion, but there wasn't a choice of dipping sauces, at of which I was aware. One grip is there were MANY tvs in our room, much like a Buffalo Wild Wings (but not all over). We were asked if we wanted music instead, which was thoughtful, but eh...just not my new favorite brewpub.

I love Ninkasi. They always knock it out of the park. Brandy our server went above and beyond. My dad really likes the old Total Domination IPA recipe. Unfortunately, they are discontinuing it. Brandy quelled his anxious IPA attitude and presented some great alternatives to him. Thanks again and we will bring the whole squad back soon. Best,

Great outdoor space. Great beer. Food was meh. Not many options for dairy free. You order from your own device so flagging someone down for questions about the menu is an obstacle and reflected in the service review.

I have been to Eugene numerous times and always enjoy making a trip to Ninkasi. On my last trip for a Ducks game, I grabbed an Uber and headed towards one of my favorite breweries. When my driver dropped me off, I thought... "Where the h*ll have I been dropped??!!??".Anyway... once I walked in, the familiar Ninkasi brews were present, but the spot was SO MUCH LARGER!In the 4 years since my last visit, this brewery has expanded and gone BIG. So much seating, with a bigger bar, games, and even a table setup for an upcoming 5K run. Good on them, but I miss the more intimate experience of the old Ninkasi (I was told the old spot is for private events).The beers were still outstanding. The food was good (has the Currywurst... Oktoberfest offering), and service was still phenomenal.If you enjoy Ninkasi beers and are in Eugene, this is a must stop. But... my nostalgia aches for the old, small location of trips past.

A true vibe. There is a spot for everyone here! A huge space with cozy living room feels, a sports room with TVs, open air bar, table seating, an outdoor patio and upstairs space for a large gathering! Wide selection of their brews, cocktails, kombucha, and non alcoholic libations! Food features a fresh menu with restaurant quality for a brewery. Fresh oysters oysters!Order using the QR code, and your food will be delivered to your table. Service is friendly and present. Full selection of beer to go that you can pickup on your way out.
We enjoyed out experience and food there but the service was really slow - took almost an hour to get our food and had to ask the server when it was coming. We hate having to use our cell phone to place order - ended up paying for the whole meal because we didn't realize other people in the party have to place their own orders. Because there was no wait staff - there was no one to ask about different things on the menu.

This was a disappointment. I found this on an Eater recommendation and was surprised by the poor experience. The hostess was nice enough but once you get sat. . . that is it. You basically never see anyone again. Its a QR Code ordering situation. Food at our table came out super late. We were with another couple. We were completely done with our food before theirs even arrived? The menu is extremely limited - just a few things. We ordered the crab sandwhich - thinking the coastal pacific northwest - this would be a good choice. Best I can say about that is it was extremely "Mid"? My husband loves beer and was looking forward to the brewpub options. He said his beer was also "mid". He said it might have helped to have had any waitstaff whatsoever to guide our selections or make suggestions. By the end of the evening I was completely parched because no one even came to refill our water. The whole experience was . . .uh. . not goo.

This really is a great place - but you pretty much service ;your self through the APP - that's okay - mostly but until you get the menu through the text it is pretty irritating - and of course a tip is expected..... okay that said GREAT Beer and very good food! Highly recommend it...

Found it a little hard placing an order for a 6 top. Ordered appetizers and dinners and everything came out at once. Im guessing you have to order the apps 1st and leave the tab open, then order dinners. Being my 1st time using this self ordering menu. i placed everything at once.

Beautiful airy interior. Lots of space between tables. Family friendly with a kids area to boot. The beer is world class. Didn't have good but what I saw looked good. It was very sparsely attended when I visited in a Sunday evening , but looks like it would be a fun spot when busy. Love that you can get small tasters. Triceratops is awesome fresh. As a craft beer junkie, I'd say it's a must-visit when in the area. Plus it's a very cool neighborhood just to drive through. If I were in a beer trip of PNW, I'd definitely make this a stop.
