Bend Brewing Company

In the heart of downtown Bend, with loads of indoor and outdoor seating, with a visible upstairs brewhouse and a very typical brewpub feel. Service was good, but a little inattentive and likely didn't know the beer that great, probably just there for a job. Selection was decent, variable styles and everything I tried was pretty solid. An old school vibe, but its been there a while, so it has charm.

Smart looking place in the centre of Bend that seems as much of a family restaurant / bar as a brewpub tap, certainly a couple of mid-30s birthdays and suited-up groups on the back lawn taking advantage of the wine and cocktails list as much as the outdoor bar serving six Bend beers. Nice sunny day for it, and this outdoor area overlooking the river is big draw especially for dog owners. We found a table on the patio running along the outside of the bar and made it for happy hour half-price apps, so got some very nice sweet potato waffle fries, a flight of 6 and a glass of Californian champagne, bizarrely served in a large stemless wine glass. Overall, I like the feel of this place, its quite heavy on their modern branding which is splashed everywhere, but merch is high quality, food is good and beer is decent, though nothing too adventurous or high strength.

Small place for Bend but they do have a nice lawn that goes right down to the Deschutes. There was a band setting up to play when I got there and it looked like this was a place for locals instead of tourist as there were many families with kids and a ton of dogs. Only 4 beers on tap which was kind of odd. The one beer I had here was just o.k. but the view made up for it.

Sat out on the deck with the river in the background -- perfect weather and quite pleasant to be outside. Decent food with OK beers.

Decent but busy brewpub in Bend. Taps limited to house brews, but pretty robust selection.. Nice view of river from patio. Variety on menu, decent pub grub.

Nice place with outside seating. Service was fine as were the beers

Moderate size facility with a nice location. 10 beers on tap at time of visit. Some beers to go from tap in growlers or larger sizes as well as some 22 oz bottles.

Strong brewery for approachable berliners. A really nice 3 year aged cherry barrel aged porter too. Everything else was a miss. Food did not look appetizing, so we skipped. Come for some bottles of Ching Ching.

Stopped by here on Saturday 6/26. I’ve been in here multiple times now, and I’ve always had a positive experience. They do 6 taster samplers, of which most of the Berliners, fruited sours, are very good, and their standards are decent. Service was good, especially given how busy it was, and the ambiance is decent - fairly standard brewpub feel with a view of the Deschutes River. Solid stop.

Visited on a Saturday evening. The place was full and after a short wait we were placed to the first booth of the restaurant so I couldn’t see much of it (or river views from the patio) and it looked pretty ordinary even ugly. Beers were mediocre and service decent. Even there was live music I’m not that convinced.
