Reviews
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.
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.
Our favorite food was the mushroom grilled cheese sandwich! We tend to be more sweeter beer drinkers which they had less of. But we had fun with a tasting flight and trying out new things. Great patio area as well as the indoor space was neat! Service was kind. We'll be back to try again!
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!
