I'm not a huge McMenamins' fan, but I like The White Eagle. Billed as a ""rock'n'roll saloon"" it sports the historic look of the place while hosting decent bands that usually fall under the ""americana"" category. It stays true to the sense of a saloon with an actual hotel with rooms upstairs for $30-$50 a night. What more could a hard drinking womanizer/man-eater want? The staff is attractive, compotent, and agile with the CD player with tunes by Bowie, MJ, Wilco, The Faces, Yono Oko, Neutral Milk Hotel and Blackalicious (and those were just the artists I heard within two hours). Low marks for the food because it's like all the other McMenamins (not bad food, but once you eat at Chili's, you've eaten ate Chilli's. You know?).
Pros: Barstaff, Music (staff's/bands), Atmosphere
Cons: , Out of the way
