Axe and Fiddle

The Axe & Fiddle is a pub and music venue located smack in the center of historic downtown Cottage Grove, a charming little town twenty minutes south of Eugene, OR. Part of a downtown resurgence (cafes, bookstores, local craft shops, an award-winning french bakery and more), the Axe & Fiddle just celebrated its third anniversary and has become a great venue for national and regional acts, as well as the meeting place for Grovers — what locals call themselves. As Cottage Grove attracts all kinds, so does the pub. You're just as likely to likely to meet a former Hollywood costume designer as an organic farmer who crafts her own cheese. That's no surprise for a city famous as film locations (The General, Animal House, Stand by Me), or the mysterious prodigy Opal Whiteley.
