Two longstanding Eugene restaurants — The Davis and Izakaya Meiji — have closed.
After two decades in business, The Davis closed in mid-April, stating on its website, “It’s meant so much to us and we’re sad to say goodbye, but all things come to end. C’est la vie. We have nothing but gratitude for our loyal patrons, we appreciate and wish you all the best.”
It signifies a loss for both downtown Eugene’s dining scene and its nightlife: The 20-year institution served seasonal Pacific Northwest cuisine and new American eats. After hours, The Davis transitioned into a lively cocktail lounge with DJs and themed music nights.
In the Whiteaker, Izakaya Meiji posted a sign on its front door Thursday that read: “Meiji will be closed permanently as of April 30th, 2026. Thank you for the 16 years (almost). Hopefully there will be something exciting happening here in the near future.”…
