Gemini Bar & Grill

Never Again!!. With very few night life options in LO, we decided to give Gemini a try (once again). We had not met the on-duty bartender before and were initially pleased that he was nice. Typically the bartenders and the waitresses act begrudged that they need to "serve" someone. We ordered food from their ever-drab and unhealthy, pub menu along with a couple of microbrews. We were on our second round when the bar was invaded by what appeared to be off-duty employees. They stood annoyingly close, flanking us on both sides and barking right across us. They were obviously trying to oust us from our seats at the bar. They were loud, drunk, skanky and terribly rude ... the typical white-trash patrons that frequent Gemini. We often have unpleasant experiences when we go there, so now I'm ready to call it ... "I will NEVER go to Gemini again"!!!!! Either the owners themselves are equally trashy and encourage this behavior or they are unaware of the abuse the employees are inflicting on the customers. I wish the owners would sell or eventually realize the potential market they could draw with a tasteful, yet not snobby, establishment. What a waste of a good location!…

Great food Great People Great Music. Love this place. The food is extraordinary, not typicval of a bar at all. The clientel includes all ages, diverse thinking and generally very friendly and sociable. There is always something going on in the back, live music or some kind of game.

Service is usually very good although on occasion they can get very busy and have a tough time keeping up, that is the exception not the rule.…

Who's on first. Put something on the web to let folks know who is on your schedule. Use the NW Blues site or something like it to let folks know what is happening at this place. When I do call most of the folks there do not know who is playing on the weekend much less the next weekend.…

Great Service. After reading the previous reviews, my expectations were low. However, we were acknowledged at the bar quickly. We asked if we needed to order there, or if there would be table service in the live music room. We were told to go have a seat and they'd be right there. We had a very attentive waitress who was quite personable. She was busy, but efficient.

The food was good, lots of choices for microbrews, and we loved the band, Volifonix out of Eugene.…
