If you’re not one for the typical college bar scene, look no further than Crow and Cart. This new woman-owned and run bar in Eugene is located in the Whiteaker neighborhood on Blair Blvd. It has a warm and welcoming ambiance with rustic decor and offers a classy take on a fun night out. Their menu regularly switches specialty drinks, but they always have a full bar as well as beer and cider on tap. In the summer, there is an outdoor patio area perfect for warm nights out with friends. They always use fresh ingredients in their mixes and everything is handcrafted.

Writer’s Favorite Drink

My favorite drink of the night was a hazelnut espresso martini, a nutty and rich drink that was dangerously good (and I ended up having two of them). I also enjoyed a passion fruit margarita and a creamy ginger mocktail.

Bartender Spotlight

The founder and owner of Crow and Cart, Tina McGill has been bartending and in the service industry for over 25 years and decided it was finally time to open a place of her own when her friends bought the building during the pandemic. She says she loves working in the Whiteaker neighborhood, that it has so much character and characters and she’s really enjoyed getting to know everyone. She loves that it is a woman-owned business, and her team is women who have been working with her for years, so she loves that they’re all in on the venture together and it’s a pleasure to get to work with them every day.

Tina’s Drink Spotlights

Here to Slay: A champagne cocktail made with luster dust that creates a shimmer and topped with a high antioxidant juice ice cube made of layers of cherry juice, mango, and peach puree so that it’s really three cocktails in one.
