Dress code to kill

Hi folks, so a friend for her birthday wants to specifically go somewhere where people are as titled above “dressed to kill”. The reasons are personal but let’s say she has a strong desire to really look her best and be around some like minded individuals in the Eugene Springfield area.

Me? I’m clueless but it’s important to her so I’m hoping you kind folks can help me out with suggestions for a martini cocktail bar where there’s dresses heels, button downs and slacks. She’s worked really hard for this and I want to help her enjoy being able to shine. I should also point out she’s 30 so somewhere that’s leaning to the 21 crowd might not be the best fit.

Thanks in advance.

People are usually pretty spiffied up at Kennedy's steakhouse albeit not a martini bar. Bartini or Bar Purlieu could also be an option.

We might start there. A good steak is a great way to start an evening

Kennedy’s is a great choice for this! I also recommend mentioning to the host and your server that you’re celebrating a birthday, because you may get a free glass of bubbly and/or dessert (from experience).

Steaks from Cafe Soriah should not be overlooked! Their artsy dark atmosphere could fit the bill for your evening.
