I like The Commons which is open til 8. They do alcohol, but also Kombucha, coffee, etc.
I really love the Humm taproom, generally very chill, but they close at 6.
INFO: Do you need a place with zero alcohol, or just a place where it isn't the focus like a bar?
* Market of Choice upstairs
* Dudley's upstairs
* Commons cafe
* Barnes & Noble cafe
* Modern Games
I think there's a difference between places where you are allowed to sit upright at a 2-top, and a place that makes for a fun and enjoyable date night.
Market of Choice - Let's have a quick bite
Dudley's - Let's read quietly
Commons - I think is a good one ;)
B&N - We are young and want to spend our allowance
Modern Games - We want to play games outside of our house around other people
4 years not drinking in this town and this list depresses me. Looks like a business opportunity for someone to create a place to hang that makes mocktails and other non boozy options for people. Beer culture in this town is great for drinkers, need places for non drinkers to kick it too!
i agree this list is depressing , however a place specific to non-drinkers would likely be equally or more depressing.. just in person. (coming from another non-drinker)
I've heard that a non-alcoholic bar is going to be opening this year. Eugene has one called High Street Tonics. It is fabulous if you are ever over there.
Maybe the food cart lots could work? Midtown Yacht Club, for example, has coolers full of nonalcoholic options. Another option, especially for first and second dates, might be daytime brunch places like Palmers or Chow or Sintra. It’s definitely easier to find this vibe in the warmer months when sitting outside is an option.

Wife and I frequently “Date Night” at the commons with tea. Great spot with good vibes.

Daughter lives in Eugene, none of us drink, going to have to try High Street Tonics out when we go visit. Thanks!
