Restaurant inspections
County officials regularly inspect food facilities to ensure compliance with state laws. Here, Lookout Eugene-Springfield reports both those who have passed the inspections and those where the county observed issues to correct. The county’s full ongoing reports can be accessed here.
- Pour House Tavern, The at 444 42nd St., was cited for issues during a county health inspection on June 22. The restaurant received a score of 95 out of 100. During the inspection, it was noted that some potentially hazardous food was not kept at safe temperatures, with items in a cooler reaching 48ยฐF to 50ยฐF instead of the required 41ยฐF or lower. The operator discarded several food items and corrected the issue by the follow-up inspection, where temperatures were compliant. Additionally, food-contact surfaces were found to have grease buildup, but this was resolved by replacing bar racks with easier-to-clean materials. (view report)
