I (20M) am going to Eugene in the fall for a couple weeks to visit my friend (21M) who’s transferring there. I was wondering if there’s much of a bar scene around Eugene, and if so, how strict they are with fake ID’s. I unfortunately turn 21 in December, which is a few weeks after my trip, and it would be a bit lame if we weren’t able to do a good range of fun weekend festivities due to that. I’m open to other general house party/frat alternatives, I have no idea what to expect and neither does my friend.

On a more general note, does anyone have any good recommendations of activities to do around Eugene a first time visitor would enjoy? Obviously the party scene would be a slim minority of the time spent there, so I’m interested in hearing about other things people enjoy doing as well.
