B2 Wine Bar in Crescent Village
We are proud to announce that this New Year’s Eve we will be making our debut at B2 (B Squared) Wine Bar!
B2 Wine Bar, the latest venture by the owners of Eugene Wine Cellars, is located in north Eugene’s popular new mixed-use development, Crescent Village (2794 Shadow View Drive, just north of Costco off Coburg Road). With upscale modern atmosphere and small-town friendly attitude, B2 is the perfect place to meet with friends and listen to music. Along with a large selection of wines (from various vineyards and regions, including their own Eugene Wine Cellars/B2 label), they also offer a nice selection of micro-brewed beers and a delectable gourmet menu with items like panini sandwiches, house-made soups and salads, bruschetta and antipasto plates. They even have dinner entrees like salmon and a crusted rack of lamb.
Since it’s a new development, Google, Yahoo and Mapquest give inaccurate directions. Here’s how to get there:
- Take Coburg Rd. north of Beltline, past Costco to Crescent Ave.
- Turn right (east). You’ll see colorful Crescent Village straight ahead on the left.
- When you come to Shadow View Dr., turn left (north) into Crescent Village.
- B2 is the last business on the left (north end of the building). Free parking is available all around, with two large parking lots on either side.
The boyfriend and I went there b/c Nib was closed. I was really craving some white wine and chocolate. I wish they had a better selection of desserts. Personally, I prefer Nib’s atmosphere. I felt like b2 was a bit too sophisticated for me.
I love the new wine bar. My family and I go at least twice a week just to enjoy the comfortable atmosphere and drink some excellent wine. The menu is great with just the right amount of choices to choose from. It’s always overwhelming to go somewhere and have to choose one thing from 100 different options. This restaurant keeps things simple and helps a person forget they were ever in Eugene and provides a great escape after a long day.
B2 is wonderful. We’re looking for the modern, Dwell magazine, prosperous feeling, view to future architecture, yet look over the shoulder touch back on the 60’s Eichler, Jetsons, “The Incredibles” feel and vibe. Architecture & design = Culture. Residential.. Portland and Eugene have a few precious rare neighborhoods / pockets of this culture. Retail and work / business.. Portland is forging ahead. Eugene lags behind. We need to hang on to our roots.. From Soriah to Ambrosia, to the reborn Jo Fed’s Hour House. But B2 and Crescent Village are meeting a demand for a modern cultural statement. We will support them fully.
The food was good. The wine selection was excellent. Included one of my fav’s, Joel Gott Zin. Service was great. Atmosphere was great. Relaxed, easy, comfortable.
One suggestion; Glasses were ok, but upgrade to Riedel 6448 cab or merlot glasses. These Austrian glasses are not that expensive and make a noticeable difference in the taste of any wine. THanks!!
I have been to B2 three times and all three times it was great food, low prices and excellent atmosphere. I really look forward to future visits and am glad there is a nice place to enjoy in Eugene.
There just aren’t enough nice places like this one in the Eugene area and it’s a breath of fresh air. I hope it sticks around and continues to be all it is right now.
I was there while a live band was playing and I have to say, I’d like to hear something a bit quieter for the atmosphere of a wine bar. It is tough to have a conversation over the music so perhaps lower the volume or change the sort of music that is played live. Other than that, I thought it was a great place over all.
