Taylor’s Bar & Grill

Taylors was my first campus bar experience and it did not disappoint. The staff is knowledgable and very friendly. They are prompt and willing to assist you with any menu or drink items you are unsure of. It is a place that I am willing to frequent day or night, weekday or weekend.

HORRIBLE INTEGRITY OF THE NIGHT TIME STAFF. Taylor’s brings in a lot of people during the night and I’ll admit that as a previous server, it can get chaotic. HOWEVER, on three separate occasions, the bartenders have been over-​charging me on my credit-​tips. I always tip 20% or at least two dollars on drinks, but I have found out that they’ve been tipping themselves extra of my receipts. One day, I woke up to a $ 17 tip off of a $ 12 tab and I didn’t even drink that night. I was buying for friends, was sober and kept a copy of the receipt. I have gone in to talk to them and they did reimburse me, but the fact is that nothing is being answered. They haven’t done anything to fix this problem because it has been happening again and again to my friends and I. None of the other bars do this and I’m forced to give up and not buy anything at Taylor’s anymore. The atmosphere is great, but the integrity is poor and the owners should be ashamed of their management.

This review is based solely in the pool table, the bar is pretty nice, open dance floor, infused spirits… but the pool table to crooked, ugly, but free. If your looking to play pool don’t come here. Otherwise it’s a nice place!

Food is decent, however their service is terrible. They don’t control their crowds, the music is too loud, and the floor is always too sticky. I wish they would get some better beers on tap. I’ll be back but I won’t be happy about it.

All the bouncers here aren’t doing their jobs. Some psycho chick sucker punched me for no reason, I had over 3 witnesses, and because she’s «friends» with the bouncer I went to they played it off as she probably didn’t know what she did. I spend a lot of money here but don’t plan on coming back anytime soon.

Definitely do not order from Hungry Ducks! They didn’t listen to any of my requests (aka no pickles or onions on the burger, no pickles or mushrooms on the salad). I have decent experiences when I go into this place, but definitely will not do any more online ordering.

Taylor’s is well, Taylor’s. If you’re going there you’ve got a goal, and that’s to get smashed and dance. Used to be much more grimy and crowded, however they’ve recently undergone some fundamental changes and it’s really stepped up the quality. The new outdoor seating is highly appreciated and apparently more changes are to come. It is THE campus bar so expect it to be filled with college students during the school year.

Taylor’s offers you with terrible service and disgusting food.
The place wasn’t busy and the guy working didn’t help us and didn’t care about it. He set a pitcher of water on the table so my friend and I could serve ourselves while he chatted with girls at the bar.
I ordered a chicken salad and was upset to see that canned chicken was used. It was ridiculous, especially for the price.
Taylor’s is definitely a place for university kids to drink themselves silly. It’s not respectable and it’s a total waste of money. If you want to eat shitty food and get wasted on cheap alcohol, this is your place! Avoid this place if you are over the age of 22 and actually appreciate good food, beverages, and service!

Great location to campus, atmosphere was pleasant, food was just so/​so, and beer was lukewarm.

25 dollars for 4 shots of well vodka in a college town…
Overall service and atmosphere was decent.
Completely overpriced, would not return.

I can sum up this bar in one quote, «I like to think of Taylors like with giant eagles wings, and singin’ lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd with like an angel band and I’m in the front row and I’m hammered drunk!» –Cal Naughton Jr
Oh yeah the beer, drinks and staff are pretty great too.

Came out on a wed night, and they have $ 1 beers from 9 – 10:30. I had a great time and the music is good. Def recommend when going out to bars around campus

I woke this morning and I thought to myself by golly I need some nickelback to kick this beautiful day off right. I was pleasantly suprised when I walked into Taylor’s and they were playing The Nickelback, The 3 doors down, fuckin more nickelback and shit. Best day of my life, they have dope drinks and food and shit. I highly recommended. The patio is swell as well, the best place in town for checking out girls in stretchy pants. The service is just fantastic. Get your chubby buns down to this lil joint, it might just change your life

So impressed with Taylor’s Bar & Grill. We had an event there last weekend and the staff did a great job. I had an unfortunate event occur and the Bartender saw I was upset and inquired about what happened. He left and came back moments later after calling the owner of the bar and took care of the situation. I am extremely grateful and I will be a return customer. Also, the Philly beef sandwich and fries were great.

Great college drinking and food bar. Lots of fun for decades, lots of drunk co-​eds. A UofO classic bar.

As others have said, Taylor’s is great for going out on a Friday or Saturday night and having drinks with your friends. The weekend crowd is loud, the drinks and shots flow, and a great time is had by all. Food is alright, atmosphere so so. It’s a college bar and meets that expectation with flying colors.

Taylors is good for getting intoxicated. When I turned 21 and wanted to spend nights out taking advantage of it, I went to Taylors first. $ 1 beers? $ 2 wells? Outdoor seating? Yes please!
The bartenders and bouncers are all business. They have every fake ID imaginable on hand and don’t mess around. I once had a bottle of hot sauce that was innocently resting in my bag confiscated, simply because they thought I stole it from
them — I hadn’t been in for months. What?
When I’ve gone there, I wasn’t decked out in high heels and a short dress. I didn’t sing a cover of «A Whole New World» or giggle with my girlfriends in the bathroom. I got drunk because of the great drink specials. If that’s what you’re looking for, Taylors is worth it.

My Dad, Uncle, Cousin, Brother, and I all used to hang at Joe’s Place in Iowa City and different times in our respective Hawkeye student days. As such, I have always had a soft spot for established College hangouts. So after my Son and I took our recent tour of the University of Oregon Campus, Lunch at Taylor’s Bar & Grill was in order. There was no Ducks football on this Saturday, so the joint was nearly empty, save for a party of 6 students with boundary issues.
Even on a quiet day like this, service was slow. The waiter was apologetic enough, but after watching him for awhile, it was clear that intent did not match action. At one point, my Son and I set a time 15 minutes hence that we would walk out if we weren’t waited on. Our order was taken 14 minutes later.
On the positive side, I enjoyed the divey «dark and casual» atmosphere (just like Joe’s Place), the sports on TV, and the interesting mix of locals, students, and older Alums. Our burgers and home made chips were quite tasty, as was my IPA and my Son’s bottomless glass of root beer. Best of all, our Lunch was just thing we needed to take edge off my previously hungry Son. The rest of our day went much better.

I was carded here once at 1 in the afternoon, even though I have a beard whose thickness and whiteness would give Obama Bin Laden a case of insecurity.
I don’t mind being around the college ladies, but they seem scared by the presence.
Next time, I’ll find somewhere else to watch the Champions League quarterfinals.

I don’t know how else to express my disdain for this crap bar except to give my best Borat impression, so here goes:
*Borat voice*
Com heere if you want de finest poonani… NOOOTTTT!
