If you're looking for something different and unique that specializes in southern hospitality and mouthwatering comfort food, look no further. This gastropub in Eugene, Oregon is hugely popular with locals, and there's a little something on the menu for everyone. Let's be honest, there's not enough Cajun-style southern cooking in Oregon, especially not at breweries.

Close to the University of Oregon Campus and just a hop and skip away from downtown Eugene, Oregon, you will find the Elk Horn Brewery & Cider House. Elk Horn is actually the first brewpub on the University of Oregon campus.

The Elk Horn Brewery & Cider House is a Southern-Northwest fusion gastropub, specializing in southern hospitality and delicious comfort food. They offer 24 rotating taps of house brewed beer, cider and soda. And make sure and bring the little ones, as they are family friendly with a kids corner, kids menu and games for everyone.

Their menu will surely impress you, with a wide variety of food to choose from. From tacos to brisket, collard greens, burgers, and chicken and waffles, they do it all.

Check out these amazing slow smoked pork topped with fried cheese curds, and their special molten fire sauce, pickled red onions, lime crème fraîche and cilantro. This dish comes served with cast iron cheesy beans and fresh fried chips.
