Perfect during the week bar!
by patricescott
Great bartenders, atmosphere and people(before the 12th drink!). Don't let the outside appareance fool you, you have a lot of regulars and a great jukebox. Can get a bit crowed on the weekends, it's a perfect during the week bar to get your drinks on! Big time Oregon Ducks bar!

- Cons: space, amatuers,

by jwlee113
the crowd usually consists of a lot of guys in button down stripe shirts (ladies, read the stripe shirt guy article in the bathroom!) and i always kick and scream when i get dragged there by friends. but every single time, i end up getting drunk and having a great time! must be something in the drinks...
- Pros: friendly crowd
The Details on R Bar
Save Money:
They always stock $2 cans of the watery Olympia beer, which ironically boasts, "It's all in the water."
The Extras:
Four TVs, each with their own receiver, provide sports-viewing options. Later in the evenings, comedy movies steal the show.
Save Time:
Lucky Strikes and Kools are available for $5, but head outside to smoke.
Know Before You Go:
The bar generally opens in the afternoon on weekends, but hours vary by each week's game schedule. Call ahead for details.
