Blues & neighborhood nights
Patrick McCallum opened Mac’s at the Vet’s Club with his brother, chef Billy McCallum, in 2002. It continued a family connection to food and live performance that included Eugene’s Treehouse and Wild Duck Brewery.
Inside the Veterans Memorial Building on Willamette Street, Mac’s brings a public restaurant, bar, dance space and live stage together. Blues anchors its reputation, alongside soul and classic rock.
The room is open to the wider community; veterans’ membership is not required. For a present-day visit, check Mac’s own calendar for the latest artists and dates.
