Eugene's Best Live Music Venues
One Dollar Check at WOW Hall by Melanie Griffin
W.O.W. HALL
This venue is well-loved among Eugene concert goers. One popular feature is the underground bar with flat-screen televisions for watching the performance while you are away from the stage. Shows at the W.O.W. Hall feel intimate and special because the stage is elevated but not set back from the dance floor.

WILDCRAFT CIDER WORKS
Wildcraft Cider Works is Eugene's first cidery and newest concert venue. With 13 cider taps and a variety of local beers and wines, there is something to quench any thirst. There is a constant rotation of musicians coming through this spot. Bands play upstairs where music pours over the balcony so it can be enjoyed from anywhere in the building. Catch reggae night every Wednesday. On Sundays, acoustic sets happen on the main level.

Iration at McDonald Theater by Melanie Griffin
MCDONALD THEATER
This historic theater, built in 1925, has a different feel than the other concert halls in Eugene. The McDonald Theater stage has arches and pillars that give it that classic look. There is a full bar in a side room and a second bar in the seated balcony over the dance hall. Many of Eugene's larger performances take place here.
