Broken Top Bottleshop and Ale Cafe

I visited this place only to buy some beers to be enjoyed later. All beers in cold. Most of the beers were bombers or some quite expensive (rare) stuff. No 12 oz singles. Unfortunately for me it wasn't the kind of place I was looking for so left empty handed.

I only had time for the bottleshop side on this visit, although the food smelled great. Loads of singles out of the cooler to choose from. Clearly focused on west coast options, but still a broad selection of different styles. Definitely worth stopping in.

Sought out this place for a stop on my way back to Boise. Good coverage of the Bend scene and Oregon breweries. Some other nice varieties from the West represented as well . Prices a mix, but reflects tube if the rarity of some of the bottles. Friendly, courteous service.

Decent selection for an out-of-towner to find a few new, unknown, and interesting bottles. Not big on imports and half of the coolers seem to be sours and IPA.

Visited on Sat. June 25th. Combo bottle shop and bar; I didn’t have time to stop for a drink, but there were an ample number of beers for purchase. Lots of wood and decent service - though the attendants were mostly behind the bar. The only really flaw was that there was a band playing - which is fine - and they were cranking out decibels to the point that I couldn’t think. Not great in such a limited space. I could see myself making it back here to have a beer on the patio and it’s a nice stop if you’re on the west side of the river.

pretty cool place - nothing special to look at but ample indoor and outdoor seating on the west side of town. Decent tap list and nice local/regional selection to go in bottles.

Very impressive selection of bombers, bottles and cans - all cold and ready for on-site consumption or for take away (at a 10% discount). Very helpful staff. Would loved to have stayed and tried their food, but we were in a rush to hit up Crux-a-paloo-za. Would certainly stop by here again!

Beer selection is actually not great in my opinion. Tons of out of code beer. I seldom see new stuff on the shelves, plus whoever orders for the draft side puts on stuff like black butte porter... In bend, where that beer is on tap at probably every restaurant. Why would I go to a taproom to have that? Also, glasses are not beer clean and the beers are generally served about 15 degrees too cold. Food is insanely overpriced compared to other options with better atmosphere. Platypus and others are so so much better

I reviewed this place two years ago and felt the need to update my review. Since the last time I was here, the beer selection has increased in a huge way. I got to try the food this time and it was excellent. They had a fairly large quality selection of beers on tap. Great place to pick up all sorts of fantastic beer. Top notch.

June 2012 rating: I can’t believe nobody’s reviewed this place yet. Maybe because it’s a fairly new place? It looked new. The selection wasn’t that big, but I picked up a bunch of great beer here not available where I live, like Alesmith and Cascade and lots of local stuff I’ve never heard of. The staff was super friendly, even helping me carry my purchases to my RV. My only complaint is that the beer wasn’t priced. I had no idea how much money I was spending until the guy started ringing me up. One big bonus: case discounts! Or maybe it was a spend so much money and receive 10% off type of discount. I can’t remember. It sure saved me some cash, though.

This place doesn’t have the biggest selection, but it is more of a concentration of some of the best beers in the country. Mostly American craft beer, I could spend a fortune there. The food was top notch as well and the people working there were very personable and helpful. 10% discount for beers to go too!!
