Yardy Rum Bar
Caribbean
A sea-foam green Victorian near downtown Eugene is an unlikely home for a West Indian rum bar, but here we are, and Oregon is better for it. Yardy started as a food truck and graduated to a cheerful brick-and-mortar where sorrel punch anchors the cocktail list and pholourie, fried chicken sandwiches, and twice-fried plantain jibaritos do the heavy lifting. A 2025 New York Times Restaurant List pick and a James Beard semifinalist.

Pholourie
“Your first stop on the food menu should be the pholourie, heady split-pea fritters sauced with mango, tamarind and peppers.”
The New York Times, 2025 -
Fried chicken sandwich
“The formidable fried chicken sandwich can be configured to your exact tangy-and-spicy needs with Bajan peppa, tamarind sauce, salsa rosada and the house pepper mix.”
The New York Times, 2025 -
Jibarito No. 2
“The Jibarito No. 2, griyo pork zinged with Scotch bonnets and Haitian pikliz slaw nestled between two twice-fried plantains, is the final sandwich boss.”
The New York Times, 2025
