Bugsy’s Bar and Grill

This place has the potential to be a decent bar to hangout at. However, they need to seriously reconsider their management and how they treat their customers.
Last night, I went to Bugsy’s with a group of friends to celebrate my birthday. We were having some drinks and shooting pool, having a pretty good time. 2:30am came around, and closing time was announced. However, it was the way that it was announced that did not sit well with me. The main bartender actually shouted across the entire bar, «I’m not paid anymore to like any of you, so fuck off.» Seriously!
I was so bothered by that statement that I ended up saying to the guy that he’s not going to get a lot of returning customers by telling them to fuck off. He laughed and basically brushed me off.
If you hate your job, get a new one. Don’t take it out on people who are looking to have a good time and aren’t causing undue stress on you. Needless to say, I won’t be returning here.

After passing by this building for three years my wife and I decided it was finally time to see what they had to offer.
Service was good.
Shannon was our server. She greeted us warmly and made sure all of our orders where to our liking.
The building didn’t smell old or like smoke.
The bathrooms were cleaner than I had expected.
The quality of food was decent.
I wasn’t blown away, but I’m not sure I was expecting to be.
If you’re passing through Junction city I would recommend stopping by for breakfast.
Simple, quick breakfast.

Found a great place for some mid-​morning hash browns, bacon, eggs, hotcakes, etc. i chose the loaded hash browns with a side of eggs over medium with coffee. It’s a bar with food, so 21 years old and older only.
Breakfast tasted great and hit the spot! Plenty of choices in the burger, sandwich, salad, fish n chips categories too. Who knew? From the outside on Ivy Street is looked kind of out-​of-​biz. By happenstance I drove up the street on the backside of Bugsy’s and found both their parking lot and that they were, indeed, open. Hours; M-​Th 11am-​midnight, Fri & Sat 8am-2:30am, Sun 8am-​midnight.
They tell me they have live music on the weekend starting at 9pm.

The crowd changes from time to time, but the bartenders make great drinks and the staff is very friendly. I like to go for taco tuesday when they have karaōke, or on thirsty thursday you get a burger and a beer for $ 6! I love this bar.

Great place but little youg crowd for me most of the time. Good food good price and drinks

My wife and I recently visited Bugsy’s toward the end of lunchtime, at around 1:30pm. I cannot comment on the food, as we were never offered the opportunity to order. I stood at the bar for about ten minutes, as the one person behind the bar spoke with two girls who had questions about their order. He disappeared into the kitchen, returned, and resumed speaking the girls. All I wanted from him was a menu, and to ask if we should seat ourselves, order from the bar, or wait for the one person who seemed to be impersonating a waitress. Even though I was standing right next to the girls that the bar tender was speaking with, I was ignored. Totally. The person trying to pass as the waitress also passed right by me at least two times, filling ice tea glasses at various nearby tables, and looking very «hard done by.». She too, totally ignored me. After ten minutes, I had had enough. We left.
We are moving to Junction City and could have been frequent customers. But we will not be. This is an amateur operation, and in the future, we will not waste our time.

Called to order some food online to be picked up while I was at work and to see if they had Philly cheese steaks. (I couldn’t find a menu online anywhere). They lady I talked to said yes and told me it was $ 10.50 (yikes!) I wasn’t sure I wanted to spend that much on a lunch, so I had to call her back. Finally decided to order one, and hope it lived up to the price I was going to pay. The lady on the phone told me it would be about 15 min. So I hang up, tie up some loose ends at work and head over. You enter through the alleyway and I was a bit weirded out by the lady digging through the ashtrays by the entrance looking for a cigarette, but anyhow, quite a few people were there eating on a their lunch breaks. The bartender was very nice and they had my order ready in no time. I brought my lunch back to work and it was the BEST PHILLY Cheesesteak I’ve ever had and it had a side of coleslaw. YUM! Worth every penny! :)

It may be a hick bar, but this small farm town has some very down to earth people that know how to have a good time. Highly recommended for after hours following the Scandinavian Festival for good times and beers with friends.

Hick. Bar. To the maxxxxx. Enough said.

This place is pretty interesting.
You don’t walk in the entrance on Ivy street, but you walk around the alley. The building was an old theater so it’s pretty open. It’s also pretty bright in there.
The drinks are priced pretty reasonably. I’m a local beer drinker, so having Ninkasi on tap and a decent selection of 22’s makes me happy.
I’ve only ever been pretty late, so I’ve only had their fried food. You can’t really mess that up. It’s always been crispy and hot.
The only thing that puts me off about the place is the ever changing hours. I understand if it’s not busy closing, but it still kind of sucks when you wanna shoot some pool and have to drive all the way to Eugene to do it.
I’ll definitely be in to try some real food; I’ll update my review after.
If you’re in JC and need a beer or a want to shoot some pool stop by!

Bugsy’s is a place that defies traditional labels. It’s really not a dive… not exactly a neighborhood pub… not so much a theme bar… it’s just one of a kind. Colorful murals depicting 1940s-​era Hollywood starlets reach up to the impressively high vaulted ceilings. The floor is covered in carpet, which in and of itself is unusual for a bar. Carpet is more «casino» and in fact, Bugsys apparently offers a no-​cash blackjack table which on the night of my visit was hosted by a dealer rocking rhinestones and K-​Swiss.
Ordering at the bar seems to be the way to go, but the pleasant bartender or server will run your food out to your table. Our tasty steak fries – complete with ketchup and ranch dressing – had a surface temperature of about 450 degrees, leading to several incidents of first bites followed by «Oh my GOD these are hot!» Bugsy’s has a full bar and you can’t really go wrong with beer. For our group, cocktails seemed to be a bit more hit and miss, with tequila concoctions scoring higher marks than vodka mixtures.
If there isn’t live music playing, you can kick back at Bugsy’s with some food and beverage and watch your fellow patrons engage in testosterone showdowns and ill-​advised lapdancing. If that doesn’t strike your fancy, fortunately there’s Big Buck Hunter as a back-​up. All in all, this is a fun place to hang out with friends for a night out in JC.
