Top 49 things to do and attractions in Bend

There are great spaces here. You can have your pets, kids, bike, walk, enjoy the river or event listen to a show at the Amphitheater without a ticket. But, there is little diversity in the type of shopping you can do - and I don’t mean variety. Why they would develop this space and not have a place for quick and easy snacks, drinks or more casual places for dinning is beyond me; other than the price of the rent. I love REI and they are an anchor in this area and I love what they did with the store and what they offer. But I only found one place to simply stop and have a quick meal/snack and maybe a beer. A great location to stay in a nearby hotel and explore Bend but there was a reason people that came to the area had brought coolers and food from other places.

This is a nice area along the river with walking and bike paths. Dog friendly. Lots of shopping and restaurants. Popular area for SUP and floating. There is a bridge to Hayden Homes amphitheater. Beautiful art and sculptures as well as history markers. Bend did it right with this area!

We came from southern eastern Oregon and had a really lovely time here. We checked our REI, Lush, and Sweet tooth and did a little bit of walking around and very much admired the river. We ate at Anthony's because that's my husband's name lol but it was very delicious

Love it!!! There is a variety of stores and good restaurants. There is a bridge when you can step and watch the water below, I believe is a river that goes below the bridge.

Extremely Gucci place for rich people who are also proud of flexing their outdoor lifestyle. This mall has very bussin surrounding no cap. Ultra skibidi bridge too.

This is a pleasant area featuring an outdoor mall along the river, with walking and biking paths. It offers a variety of shops and restaurants, with a directory available on the website. Free parking is available throughout the mall, though it can be difficult to find during peak hours.

I absolutely love this place and want to give it five stars, but they are really dropping the ball on the bathrooms this year and I’ve been coming here for years so that just makes me really sad to see. There is never toilet seat covers anymore, and every other night there is not toilet paper. I really feel like the old mill holds a higher standard than the way these bathrooms have been looking lately so I am very happy to return the five stars when they clean up. Other than that excellent shopping area excellent food area. But definitely have dropped the ball on an important staple of a shopping area: restrooms.

Awesome sauce. Love this trail! So relaxing and nice to walk in nature. I highly recommend this to anyone

The Deschutes River trail is a very accessible 2.5 mile loop that starts from Farewell Bend Park. The park acts as a trailhead and has very limited parking so you may have to go to the other side where there is a larger parking lot. If you are lucky and get a space it is a beautiful Green Park with lots to do including a playground for kids and wonderful River access. The trail itself is multi-directional and is wide in most spaces. Conditioning required is limited with moderate hills and mostly flat trails. Many people utilize this trail for family walks or trail running. Dogs are welcomed the bikes are not. This is a purely pedestrian trail. Views are wonderful and it is a great way to enjoy some exercise. Essentially you hike a little bit over a mile into a bridge that loops you back the other way. Definitely a must-do. If you want to extend the walk / hike just continue through the park on the paved trails.

What a great trail right in the heart of Bend. You can walk across the river and around the city to walk as far as you want. The trail out into the woods and over the bridge is beautiful. Great place for your dog to hike and go into the water on warm days. We are here in October and the fall leaves were beautiful. We want to come back during the summer to tube and paddle board on the river. Bend has done a great job creating such a great community hub. Must visit if you are in Bend.

Awesome park. Lots of people walking the trail. Adults and children with their dogs. I saw a lot of kids walking with their teachers and watching nature. Lots of dogs. I loved walking right next to the river although I saw some bikers using another trail nearby. Beautiful trees and lots of birds.

Always a favorite! This is a popular place: if you’re an extrovert, go on the weekend; if you’re an introvert, avoid the weekends. It’s a delightfully river-oriented trail with views much of the way. Some hills, lots of nice dirt underfoot with a few rocky spots, and lots of easy hiking overall. The Deschutes River is one of our prime gems of Central Oregon—don’t miss this trail for some easy exercise in beauty very close to downtown and the Old Mill.

Went on a brisk walk after a fresh snowfall, mid-morning, and the sidewalk was already plowed! Thank you! Unlike Portland, we didn't see any trash or homeless camped there. Clean bathrooms too! Can't wait to come back in the summer to float!

A really nice walk along the river.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely loved our visit! The food and atmosphere were top-notch. We sat out on the dog-friendly patio and had a great time enjoying the summer vibe. Started with the hummus and pretzel appetizer—super tasty—and followed it up with a delicious pizza that hit the spot. I had a Cascade Kolsch Ale that was light and refreshing, perfect for a mid-summer day, and wrapped things up with their famous Fresh Squeezed IPA—definitely lives up to the hype. Our server was upbeat, friendly, and on top of everything. Great experience all around—we’ll definitely be back!

This is a must see attraction in Bend, Oregon. There is an extensive menu at this award winning brewery. Great merchandise. The food was amazing, including the elk burger, double smash burger, the brisket, the mac n cheese, the beet salad. Only tip would be to ask for extra beets. We did two beer flights, including all of the light beers, and also the standard recommended flight. Our waitress Reese was so friendly and gave great advice on other things to do in the area. Highly recommend!

Stopped in for a quick lunch and really enjoyed the experience. The service was quick, efficient, and friendly. The pretzel is a must-try—it came perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of salt and butter, and the warm cheese sauce was absolutely to die for. I also tried the fish and chips, which are prepared with breadcrumbs rather than a traditional batter. They’re on the drier side, so you have to be a fan of that style. I liked it, but next time I’ll probably try something else. Of course, the beer selection is fantastic—plenty of great options to pair with your meal. The restaurant itself is clean, well maintained, and has a ton of TVs, making it a great spot to catch NFL or college football games. Parking can be a little tricky since it’s mostly street parking, especially during busy hours, but we lucked out and got a spot right in front. Overall, a great visit and definitely worth coming back.

I needed a little snack to tie me over til dinner so we popped in here. We had the hummus platter and it was so good!! Loved all of it! Husband of course had to have one of their well-known beers and he quite enjoyed it. We sat outside under the sun cover and was refreshing.

Probably not the typical experience, but we were seated outside on the end near the bank entrance. A server came out and took orders for a table that was seated after us. Never came by. The same server returned with drinks for that table and again didn't stop. Since this was about 20 minutes since being seated I picked up the menus and went inside. After being confronted the server said that the table wasn't in her section. We were seated in another section and did get service, but this place is a pass. The Morrocan steak fries were hit and miss. The meat was good and had abundant flavor. The fries were flavorless and not the hand cut mentioned in the menu. Would not go back.

You’ll likely see this place on every list of best breweries in Bend, and for good reason! The place was popping! I’d recommend making a reservation as they’re busy! My spouse tried the sampler and really enjoyed all his bar. I stuck to a non alcoholic drink. Their food! OMG! I was really not expecting such good food! The pretzel and cheese dip with stone-ground mustard was heavenly! I even took a lactaid to enjoy the cheese and mustard! Their black bean burger was good too. I wish they’d serve fries instead of chips, but those were good too! My spouse tried their habanero wings and found it quite spicy! The wait staff were amazing too! This is do-not-miss place in Bend! 🙂

This was my first time at Dechutes Brewery. We stopped in for dinner. My boyfriend was wanting fish and chips. We were greeted upon entry and seated by the hostess promptly. Our server came over and asked us about drinks. While in a brewery I felt the need to try one of their offerings, though I do not like beer, I tried their cider. The cider is more of a dry and tart cider than others I've had before. I also tried their boneyard elixir which is a CBD drink thst is more like a bubbly water with CBD in it. We got appetizers and the Mirror Pond Artichoke Cheese Dip was incredible. 11/10 - one of the best artichoke dips i have ever had. The pretzel was cooked to perfection and the beer cheese was great. For our mains my boyfriend got the fish and chips - to die for, I wish I would have gotten that as well. I got the Black Butte Porter Sausage Sandwich - while the sausage and the bun where incredible I think I would have liked it better without the arugula and cheese sauce. The food was great, but we were stuffed and couldn't finish all of our dinner. The restaurant is large and had trivia going on upstairs while we were there, the dining room we were sat in was decorated as an indoor beer garden, lots of string lights and plants. Overall great experience and would dine here again.

Great place with ample seating and parking. We got a few beers, crux capacitor, bolchi bolchi and glow stick. The bolchi bolchi is very light and fresh. Loved it. They had a bunch of food trucks outside so we got some food and the outdoors was pretty chill.

Still a classic Bend brewery worth visiting, even if their beers have leveled off in terms of innovation and excitement. It’s known for being family-friendly, which often means screaming children running around and dogs yapping. Good for a group hang but not my first choice for an evening out or chill afternoon.

Can a place feel like ohana… and serve killer NA beer? Ever walk into a spot and instantly feel like family? That’s Crux in Bend. Love this place… The family-friendly atmosphere is all time… Kids running around happy… adults actually relaxing… and zero uptight vibes. And here’s what sealed the deal for me… The food trucks outside.. The ice cold beer.. The crew at Crux makes you feel like ohana from the second you walk in. If you’re in Bend… go A must

Great beer. Limited food options. Scrappy outdoor area. Still worth a visit.

Stopped in her in our way through town, quiet the interesting way around to get there from the highway, they had a good selection of beers and food as well as three food trucks in the yard, I found it interesting that most of the outside tables were not level? They have a big yard with lots of tables some in the shade. The tacos from the food truck were excellent as well as the beers. I'm

Excellent service, they were very nice and quick. We got a bunch of different items to share between the 5 of us. The pretzel was a little over cooked and the taco dip was only luke warm. But the Philly cheese steak was good. Beers were tasty as well.

One of the best beer tasting rooms in Bend. Lots of indoor seating and a huge outdoor seating area. Great selection of draft beers in all styles. Lots of affordable cans to-go. Several food trucks and a restaurant inside.

I live in Sunriver on the NF boundary, and after calling the ranger station about a dead tree that threatened our infrastructure, they were extremely responsive and took care of the issue promptly and efficiently. Very grateful to have a very competent group as our rangers!

Friendly, knowledgable, patient people who are passionate about what they do and super helpful, also probably the most overqualified front desk staff I've ever met. I would go here just to hang out with these people. Also seems like a super cool place to work if the people are like that.

Someone picked up the phone right away and seemed friendly about answered backpacking questions. I totally understand that they don’t want to/don’t have time to plan people’s backpacking trips for them. That’s not their job. But I was trying to keep my questions concise and logistical (in total, the call was less than 4 minutes) Anyway, he entertained them at first but seemed incredibly hasty trying to get me off the phone, interrupting to say “Is there anything else I can help you with?” And then hanging up as soon as I said “Uh, I guess not.” I was really surprised with the abruptness!

Thank God we live in this great country that has had the foresight to preserve and protect such a wonderful and scenic area.

Clear Lake Resort, simple cabins, kayak & boat rentals

Stop your burning. Only the forest service can take a beautiful spring day and turn it ugly. Woke up by smoke, 3 am had to close all windows and try to make sense of what are these burn plans really doing. ? It’s over the top, the smoke has to be hurting us.

People around here really love there outdoors here and it shows. Lots of bike, horse, walking and even off road vehicle access. If your looking for bathrooms, showers, etc stick to a camp ground. Also remember, there's lots of private property scattered throughout.

Beautiful views. I went on a warm, windy day, and it was amazing. The drive up is a little narrow, so drive slowly. There are people walking, running, biking, and driving up the path so be aware when you share the path. Parking wasn't too bad, but I can see how it could get packed easily. It's a nice spot to sit and take pictures. It was a nice visit and would suggest it to others.

Beautiful view of the city and surrounding mountains. You can drive to the top or hike up. Free (but limited) parking. If you choose to hike, use the separate trailhead and bring good shoes. I would not recommend using the paved road to hike up, it is extremely narrow.

Great views! The walk up is quite long and steep, we took the car all the way up and were glad we did. Kid, pet and wheelchair friendly.

Great short hike from the parking lot below. There is a playground at the lower parking lot and another trail that goes around the butte. The hike up has a wide path and many users. Many people walk up/ down the road as well. Great views from the top

Beautiful but also not much to do. If you do the hike up from the bottom, you'll definitely get your workout in, definitely recommend that. Unfortunately, I took the boring option and drop up, haha. View was nice. Touristy but not something out of this world.

Second time taking my mom to enjoy the views before going to The Center. Absolutely love it!

Beautiful. I wish it would be open for sunrise, but Beautiful sights.

Great downtown area to walk, window shop, and buy cool and unique things. Plus a lot of great eateries offering something for everyone. Bend, OR is 100% dog friendly and many shops have water bowls out for our furry family! 🐶 Also, it is a really easy walk to Drake Park which sits right at the Deschutes River and Mirror Pond, which offers natural beauty (see photo). DOWNTOWN BEND IS A MUST DO!!!

Love the Atmosphere of Downtown Bend! The Santa Cruz type of Vibe, one has when in Bend really reminds me of when I was a child shopping and traveling with my Grandparents. Nice area to bring the family. There are a noticeable group of those that bring a dirty hippie feeling but they do seem to relegate themselves to a small corner of the downtown area and spew their causes, any hyped up event the can tie to social issues. Overall Bend's Downtown has great shops, Restaurants and Galleries! Wonderful Art Galleries that really bring the flavor of the region to the Forefront of spirit. Todd

Nice looking area. Very expensive stores.

I just don't understand with the items on the play ground ,( like the round thing that goes in circles) are made with metal. Hot burning metal. I burned myself on that with my grandson. When it's 95-105° that is very dangerous. I think that area should be covered for sure. Other than that , it's a great place for the family.

Just be careful using the Parking garage. The garage does not seem to be regularly patrolled. I work downtown, and regularly take the stairs. In the AM I often encounter homeless people sleeping in the stairwells which is very uncomfortable. The stair wells smell of urine. The downtown association needs to do a better job of managing and monitoring the garage which serves as the primary parking facility for the whole downtown.

The Downtown Bend Business Association is great to work with. They really helped our new business get off the ground and have been friendly and fun to talk to. And you'll love shopping downtown Bend! Come and visit us!

I always love going there and roaming the stores. All the stores have wonderful items that make great gifts and presents. Its also great that their located right next to Drake Park.

Very sad you guys don't have the funds to line the trails with other than with cut down trees that create a fire hazard. The stairs u put in even have rebar showing by the school. Trails are very narrow not a lot of room for passing. How far is it around the butt and only one bathroom unless you climb to the top.

The butte itself was a cool experience to drive up since it was a constant curve that circles its way to the top of the hill. The lookout is cool from the top but there is nothing else there to see besides check out the view of bend and take a couple of pictures.

Great view of the entire area, only downside I think is the hikers should have their own trail or a wider trail so it's safer for people/cars

Took a drive up with the fam visiting Bend. Such a beautiful 360 overlook and a must for newcomers to the area. You can also go up as many of the locals do…walk!

Walking shoulder and driving lane to the top. Great views. Emergency restroom. Benches.

A pretty nice lookout point at the top. A decently sized path up but I'm sure some would argue it is narrow. Parking is a hit or miss depending on the time as it gets busy later in the day when the sun is setting. The air quality being ok in Bend really kills the view since you can't see the mountains clearly and only make out the outlines.

​Pilot Butte is an absolute must-visit landmark in Bend, offering one of the best "big payoff for little effort" experiences in Central Oregon. This extinct cinder cone volcano, located right within the city limits, provides unparalleled 360-degree panoramic views of the region. ​The main draw is the breathtaking vista of the Cascade Mountain Range, including clear sightlines to the Three Sisters, Mount Bachelor, and Mount Hood on a clear day. Looking east, you see the vast high desert, and below, the entire city of Bend sprawls out. ​Getting to the top is flexible: you can drive the paved, seasonal road (closed in winter) or hike one of the trails. The hike is short—about a mile one-way—but quite steep, providing an excellent, quick workout. The summit features informative plaques to identify the surrounding peaks. ​The atmosphere at sunset is legendary, with the city lights twinkling below and the Cascade peaks glowing, though it can get very crowded. Whether you hike up to "earn your view" or drive for accessibility, Pilot Butte is a quintessential Bend experience and a perfect spot to appreciate the scale of Oregon's high desert landscape.

First time to the Whitewater park. All I had was my white water paddle board, dry suit, helmet, and PFD. The water parks highlights include a very surfable river wave. I tried to surf it twice with my board and it barely worked. I think it’s better suited for dedicated small river, surfing boards. The wiggles were very accommodating and helpful. I also tried the Whitewater sections of the park. The other waves were difficult to surf on with the board and seemed more suited for a kayak. The inner tube section was runnable with my white water paddle board, but the ledges are very shallow, and the board would drag on each wedge. There’s a large flat water area below the rapids with limited flow as well as a large area above the rapids near the Hayden home amphitheater where people can paddle on flat water with minimal flow. I think it is an excellent addition and wish it existed in my current city. I think as far as a destination Unless you’re coming from someplace without any water access, you might be slightly disappointed. I think it is a great place to go river surfing if you were into river surfing or want to learn to river surf. I think for the local Whitewater community there, it is a great place to practice a few things with kayaks. For the general public, who wants to just go paddle boarding or swimming or tubing it is also a very fun addition. We got there early in the day on Friday and there was plenty of parking. By the end of the day, there was no parking available.

Oh man!! This place is a blast! It’s midway between Riverbend and Drake parks for the Bend float Good parking here Sometimes has food trucks The rapids are amazing! Easy and large for different skill levels

Went on a Saturday. Parking was a bit of a chalage. With a bit of patience and luck I did find a spot. The park was great.

What a great idea. So great for kids and adults to stay active and have fun. This Whitewater park is right in the city of Bend.

Best location of water floating. Kids go over and over repeatedly this part of river. Sometimes the current get kind of funny and kids get stuck here. It is also very funny lot of kids use their slippery as paddle. Bring a mini paddle will definitely help

Amazing way to safely learn whitewater kayaking basics. It's a community focal point for the town of Bend. when I'm traveling and tell people where I'm from, they'll tell me how cool they think whitewater park in town is

Cool day, no boats, just a fisherman.

This bakery opens at 8 AM, and by the time we arrived around 8:10 AM on a Sunday, there was already a line for orders and a few tables were taken. So, if you're on a tight schedule, I’d recommend coming as early as possible. We ordered the Ocean Roll, both bacon and non-bacon sandwiches, and a cappuccino. The coffee took a while to be served, so keep that in mind if you're in a rush. The sandwiches were good, and the croissant was fresh and flaky — though a little seasoning on the avocado would have made it better. I didn’t personally enjoy the Ocean Roll, but my husband liked it. It was fresh with a sweet, subtle cardamom and cinnamon flavor. The place itself is cozy and beautiful, and the staff is friendly and welcoming.

The food is as good as they say it is, the ocean roll and coffee are really great, and the breakfast sandwich with arugula aioli is almost an experience on par with eating mac and cheese for the first time. Service is astoundingly fast for how much business and orders they take, went on a Saturday morning during a concert series and this place was pumping stuff out. Phenomenal. This place has a great look, and is great to meet up with friends or family, and there are dogs all around the place if you enjoy the puppy pals.

My 2nd time in Bend and this place is a must! The food is so good and the treats even better. This time I got the lemon tart, but last time I got the chocolate caramel one and it has lived on in my memory ever since. I want to try their drinks soon as well. The coffee is strong and flavorful. 10 out of 10

It could not have been any worse. I hardly ever write negative reviews about local businesses, but this one really annoyed me. We were brought to Sparrow Bakery by people who had spoken highly of it. There was even a line out the door and lots of people seeming to enjoy their food. I walk in with my family to look at the menu and am taken back by the prices. I wanted to wait until I had had a chance to dine here to see if they were justified, sometimes portions can be large. We order our meal which was a bagel w/ lox, seasonal fruit cup, and poblano breakfast muffin and wait. 15 minutes go by and still no food, although others in our group had gotten theirs. We ask a girl behind the counter who says it is being made right now. According to her, "The fruit bowl is being prepared fresh for us." Another 15 minutes go by and still no food. I go to ask her again and now with an attitude she says they lost our ticket. She offers to make our food now and to refund it but says it will take 5-10 minutes. Within 2 minutes this pathetic little cup of fruit is brought out in a coffee cup. I attached the photo in case you wonder what $8 will get you here. I have seen better presentation on an airplane. Then the food finally comes out, pretty sure my sandwiched was microwaved 30 seconds before as it had the chewiness of a leather glove. The bagel and lox had pickled onions on it, as if we were having tacos or something. The same girl brought our food and could not have been ruder. Not a single ounce of remorse. I don't know if she was having a bad day, but it was some of the worst customer service I have seen. Even if it had come on time, the value is just not there. I am sure people will keep buying it though. Just not me.

Have loved this place for years, but the life span has apparently run its course here. I tried to order the famous Ocean Roll, but was told they were sold out. Then the people two spots behind me in line throw a fit and mysteriously 6 Ocean Rolls appear from the kitchen. But that's not the end. We ordered a hot Matcha latte, wait 20 minutes, and found chunks of unprocessed matcha powder floating throughout. The food arrived, 48 minutes after ordering, the breakfast sandwich was the third monstrosity to arrive. The bacon was burnt black, the aoli was a joke and there was enough arugula to feed an army of rabbits. Then there is the croque. Essentially on Wonder Bread. Uncooked Safeway ham and burnt black cheese meet enough mustard to cover an Octoberfest. RIP Sparrow, we won't be back.

Very impressive to see how packed it was at 8am on Sunday. lt almost felt like it's the only breakfast place opened in Bend. It was so busy that all available tables was left dirty for next customers. Very delicious sandwiches!.

Excellent bakery, espresso, friendly staff. Clean and tidy. A lot of 4 tops, and space for individuals working on laptops. Main complaint was the crowding at times... there was a kibe to order. Go figure!

I have loved this park and trails since I was a very young child. As a girl scout, we planted trees after the Aubrey Hall fire that threatened to burn down the city. Now I can see them still growing as a 45-year-old woman. The beautiful connection you feel in this park is hard to describe in words. But it is a piece of heaven we call Earth.

Shevlin park is somewhere we would visit every summer growing up when visiting family in the area. They have great trails, fishing, picnicking, and even slow spots where you can get in the water. Shevlin park has a teepee that you can check out and go inside of, they have more than one trail, good for bike riding, dog walking, fishing. I remember having picnics here as a kid and I still come back as an adult when in the area. They trails are low impact and fairly flat.

This is a gorgeous park, whether you're new to Bend and getting to know what Central Oregon is like, or even if you're a local who is familiar with the unique landscape. It's not too far from the city area itself and located in a wealthy part of town, but accessible to any person who wants to check out the nature. A good place to walk and observe the world around you, and especially beautiful in the autumn season, even though it can get quitw chilly. People like to take their dogs here, or even take pictures of the lovely landscape.

Creekside Park is a peaceful and picturesque spot, perfect for a relaxing walk. The flat trails are easy to navigate and follow a quiet creek lined with trees. A charming bridge crosses the water, making a great place to pause and enjoy the view. Birdsong fills the air, with woodpeckers tapping in the trees and butterflies floating by. It’s a great place to unwind, watch wildlife, and enjoy a bit of calm.

Went to beautiful Aspen Hall for a reception. Trees were all yellow for fall and the whole park was peaceful.

Lots of trails with a variety depending on comfort/experience. River access with picnic tables.

Smazing park w fishing pond stocked w trout and bass

Popped in for some coffee here in Bend. It’s a cute coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating. Great for people watching as well. They also have pastries that looked amazing!!

Sisters Coffee Company is a great place for breakfast/lunch. We haven't tried their coffee but considering the amounts of people that came over to buy coffee in the short time we were there I can imagine it being very good coffee.

A good breakfast place for coffee, pastries and breakfast items. Friendly customer service. It can get crowded inside, not much of a seating area so kinda difficult to find seating. They have outside seating though and great for warm sunny days. They have cute merchandise like T shirts, sweatshirts, coffee and paintings and prints for sale.

Found this place while visiting the area, the coffee is excellent. Where ever they source their beans , the taste , flavor profiles and acidify is just right! I was bot able to try the food but the drip coffee is some of the best I’ve had on the west coast. WELL DONE!

Great place to stop by if passing through bend. Very chill and relaxing, there coffee is good, along with there tea. I haven't had a chance to try many other beverages, I can say the scones were definitely something to try. I love savory scones, so I'd recommend that. Beautiful place, lovely people, and more to walk around and see after stopping here.

Great Coffee Spot in Bend. Highly recommend. Can get super busy on the weekends. Apple Crumble Muffin is really good here.

Convenient location from our hotel! I ordered the Avocado Toast when I wanted the Fall special, Spam Bagel. I thought I was making the healthier, though maybe more bland, choice. NOPE! I could eat that avocado toast every day of my life, so delicious. The radish was the perfect touch. Coffee was outstanding as well. Service was kind and friendly. If I lived nearby, this would be my new "go-to" place.

We ended up here on pizza week. The pizza is actually really good. Taken away by how good the pizza is. Thin crust, good sauce and great toppings. Of course I have always been a fan of the beer. I love it. The service is great.

Love 10 Barrel! Never a disappointment, excellent food, service and atmosphere. We shared the personal cowboy pizza and salad, strawberry chipotle wings and the steak and gorgonzola nachos. Everything was amazing and our server Sarah was on it! We drank the Resting Peach cider and finished it up with a butterfinger cheesecake, yummm!!

It was a very hot day, but we still had to sit outside because we had the dog with us. We sat at the outside bar and got great service. The food was amazing. We had the chicken sandwich and a small starter salad to share. I didn’t take any pictures of food Cause I was so hungry. My wife loved her cider.

Good food and atmosphere. Painfully slow service. Our server was quick to say hi and check in with us but then disappeared for half an hour. If we had an attentive server we could have cut our dining time in half. We'd come back, though - we got the bacon potatoe pizza and the Space Cadet and Krispy Cream beer - everything was enjoyable.

The cowboy pizza was very tasty and the Sasquatch beer was frosty! Our server was nice just didn't stop by the table often to reorder drinks. Worth a stop after playing on the river. Patio is dog friendly which is always an amazing plus on my end!

Beer was yummy! But….the food made us sick, we checked in and they canceled us on the waitlist, we had to find our waitress after waiting for 20minutes for the tab plus bad service all night and the waitress was much more interested in the tables with younger patrons, told us it was best we got our ticking time bomb out…aka our daughter. To top it off we went for one of their Thursday night football specials and were charged full price for the beers that were supposedly included with the tacos and mini nachos.

Amazing beer, excellent food and a fun vibe. Decent prices for the area. Slow service but that's because they're always busy. Very hard to park here. I'd recommend simply for the beer alone!

It's no surprise that Bend has plenty of brewery options! Bend Brewery should be on your list of places to visit! They are celebrating 30 years of Best Brews and Views - hard to argue with that! They've got an incredible outdoor seating area right along the river, which is hard to beat. There was a bit of a wait, but we were able to grab a drink from their patio bar and hang outside while we waited. I do feel their menu has gotten smaller, more limited, and more expensive over the years. I had the smash burger. It was tasty but hardly had any meat... more bun than anything. For the price, I was expecting a bit more. The fries were good, though! The cauliflower hummus and the drinks were great! It's definitely a good spot to check out while in Bend.

Holy moly!!! The food here is 5-stars! So tasty and addicting! I am so glad we found this place when passing through on our roadtrip. The happy hour is freaking delicious. We were so impressed with the fajitas, we did a double-take. Man!!! This place is so good!!

Lovely seating along the river. Crispy, tasty small portion of fish for the fish tacos, and as you can see, a ridiculously skimpy amount of cabbage. Salsa tastes reminiscent of horrible marinara from a chain pizza place. Sad.

What a great place to have dinner!! We've ordered the wagyu burger and a bean burger, on the side sweet potato fries and cajun tots. It was delicious! Also very friendly staff! Would definitely recommend!!

Such yummy food. Attentive & fun service. Seemly crowded around 1:30. Fun little area to walk around after lunch :) great server! Forgot his name but young gentleman with blonde hair!! He was very friendly and polite to all of our dietary needs!

Stopped in on a whim for dinner as we were passing though town. We will be back! Wonderful service, yummy food, and the best beer we had in Bend! We are hooked now!

The service was excellent The beer was delicious. The beef was very tender.

Tumalo State Park is undeniably beautiful, boasting stunning river views, rolling hills, and serene picnic spots that make it a nature lover’s paradise. However, the park’s popularity comes with a downside—it’s almost always overly crowded. Visitors often find that the charm of its natural beauty is tempered by the constant influx of people, especially on weekends and during peak seasons. If you’re planning a visit, consider going early in the morning or on a weekday to enjoy a more peaceful experience. Overall, while Tumalo State Park offers breathtaking scenery, the persistent crowds may require a bit of extra planning to fully appreciate its tranquil allure.

I stopped by Tumalo on my way to Bend to hike on the Deschutes River and was not disappointed. The trail takes you along the river through a forest of Alder, Juniper, and Ponderosa Pine with open spaces. You will find a short paved section that becomes a rocky dirt trail for 1.4 miles to the Riley Ranch The trail has a viewpoint above the rapids on a long metal boardwalk with great views of the river. Riley Ranch has a number of loop trails if you want a longer hike. Located O.B. Riley Road, just off Hwy 97 about four miles north of Bend. The park has a day use fee of five dollars. A great place to camp, fish, kayak, have a picnic, and hike along the river.

This is a beautiful and peaceful park. The picnic areas are spread out. There is also a nice river walk

TIPS& EXPERIENCE --> Nice to relax and eat, paddle around --> TIP - The further you head away from the entrance road, the better it is. Fewer people, nicer environs. ‐-> TIP - Leave the big fin off your SUP as it is shallow --> TIP - Don't want to shell out $10 (!!) for parking? Go across the bridge and take s little walk --- SOUND ON FOR VIDEO

Love this float, MUCH less busy than others in the area. The park offers great gathering areas and water access if you don't want to float. $10 parking fee.

It was awesome great place for a walk along the river and fishing.

I’ve camped at this state park three times, and each time has been exceptionally fantastic. The first two times I camped in a travel trailer, with the last time being in a yurt. Whichever way you decide to camp, you likely will not be disappointed. It’s easy to tell at this campground that cleanliness is a top priority. The grounds are very clean and cleared of debris, as are the yurts. The washrooms and showers, the two parts of a campground that people normally dread going to, were next to spotless. Very impressed with this aspect of staying at this state park. Aside from the cleanliness, the geographical location of the park is also a major plus. The park is within 10-15 mins of most of downtown Bend. Other places to visit—such as Smith Rock State Park, the High Desert Museum, parts of Newberry National Volcanic Monument, Riley Ranch Nature Reserve, Tumalo Falls, and Shelvin Park are all within 30-45 mins of the campground. The geography of the park itself is very unique, with the Deschutes River flowing right through it underneath cliffs of ancient volcanic rock. The scenes are picturesque and I can say after my third visit to the park, they never get old. The day-use area, located right across road from the campground, has some fun activities to do. The Deschutes River provides swimming opportunities and people often bring their inner-tubes to float down the river to another spot in the day-use area. This part of the park does get extremely busy in the summer, however, so I recommend coming early in the day. The only downside comes from my most recent stay at the park—and it’s one that is out of anybody’s control—the noise from the highway. The campground is right next to a fairly busy road, and so loud cars at night can be heard every once in a while. In particular, during my most recent stay, some moron was doing donuts down on the road at 10:30pm, well after most people are trying to sleep. Unfortunately, the hosts said that this has become a near weekly occurrence. The noise bothers me, however not nearly as much as the safety of others being compromised. Overall, aside from this one unfortunate aspect, the camping experience here is sublime. I’ve made lots of great memories in the area and I hope to make many more down the road!

It's the last one in the world. It's still great bringing nostalgia into the high tech world. It's a great family friendly spot to visit and see "what movies used to be like." Still functional and has a nice selection of items to rent. Lots of promo merch to go through to show you visited. And a great selection of snacks/candy to go with your rental. Service was also classic with a teenager working the registers. Parking was ample. If you're in Bend you have to go here. P.S. I cannot confirm if there were any Russell Crow undergarments at this location.

Checked out the last Blockbuster on the entire planet! Such a blast from the past! Not only did it show the VCR tapes not all being rewound and having the slogan, "Be kind, rewind" on some of them, they also had plenty of merch and endless amounts of movies you can still rent today! Also cool displays and memorabilia up! If I lived in the area, I would be supporting this place like crazy. We happily bought a shirt, some stickers, magnet, and a souvenir membership card. They're having a block party to celebrate turning 40 on October 18th from 11 A.M. to 4 P.M. if you can make it!

In the area for work, came all the way from Texas. What a blast from the past! All kinds of collectibles and souvenirs. Lots of different "Blockbuster" memorabilia... shirts to hats to magnets and more! It is a rental store as well... VHS are rental only, not for sale.

Such a blast from the past. It's crazy how many memories come flowing back! So much nostalgia. Movies, merch, and memorabilia all around the store. And the staff was so fun and kind!

Literally felt like walking back into my childhood. This was SO cool! Loved seeing all the memorabilia and actual movies you could rent. Lots of photo ops and merch!!

This place is a nostalgia overload! Not only are there traditional DVDs/VHSs here, but there are even classic memorabilia on display. Everything from the classic smell and atmosphere to the "wow" factor of seeing stuff you remember as a kid. This isn't just a place you "Visit". This is a place you experience! Would recommend this place to anyone!

Just incredible. All the other reviews speak for themselves. Staff was very helpful and got us a quick membership card so we could rent The Goonies while in town. Lots of memorabilia in store and plenty of souvenirs. Must visit if you’re in Bend!

Small and accessible, full of interesting local history. It easily brought additional depth of understanding to me of the Bend area and helped paint a picture of the growth and change through the years. The mountain biking exhibit was a fun addition that brought back a ton of my own memories of the earlier versions of the sport.

Worth the stop to check it out. $10 entry, 2 floors with each room having different history and the first car ever to drive in Bend, Or. Old newspapers in books could keep you engaged for hours, or walk through at your leisure for an hour and move on.

This is a gem of a museum. The building is a former schoolhouse and there were 5-6 exhibits inside. As a newcomer to the area, it gave me insight into the start of Bend. I was surprised to see that Klondike Kate lived here as she is a staple of the winter festivities in Minnesota, where I’m from. The highway 97 development and the first car in Bend also were very informative.

A quaint museum that packs a lot of Bend history into one building. As a mountain biker, I appreciated the robust mountain biking history on display on the first floor. Definitely worth a visit!

It's a nice 100-year-old school building. Full of nice treasures from the past. I saw a solar light control that was decades older than I thought they were ever made.

Very informative about the history of the Bend area. Very cool to learn about the local findings. And in the old school building.

Love this museum! All the exhibits and placards are well thought out and staff is so friendly and knowledgeable - especially Bekah.

Moonlight & Starlight Canoe Tour - highly recommended! We went out on Paulina Lake w/ Jared and had the loveliest time… he told us some of the history of the area, pointed out several stars and constellations, and hooked us up w/ beer, hot cocoa, and cookies next to a warm fire halfway through the excursion. Paddling along in the dark under the crescent moon listening to an owl hoot was a magical experience for both my 17yo teen and I. This is the way to go!

Dylan was a great guide. Very knowledgeable about the area and how the lake was formed. Will use them for other tours when I'm back in the area.

We did a moonlight canoe tour, and Brian was a fantastic guide! Very knowledgeable and friendly. He had the best stories about the stars and truly made the experience great! I had never been in a conoe and he did a great job teaching me and my friend how to navigate. I would absolutely go again, and highly recommend Wanderlust!

Wonderful wanderlust canoes, view and brews tour with Brian. Excellent educational tour; so lucky to have a postgraduate scientist lead this who could answer all our questions (however left field), provide safety and canoe instruction & local knowledge. Highly recommended ♥️

I booked the moonlight starlight canoe tour with some friends and we had an excellent experience! Wanderlust took into account wildfire smoke and our guide, Dylan, took into account the groups’ interests when organizing the excursion for the evening. We learned a lot about Paulina lake, the stars, and the geological formations in the area and had a great time on the water!

Perfect. No joke, this was perfect. My fiance and I live in Sisters here in Central Oregon, and needed a bit of a break from the madness of summer busy work and wildfires, so decided to do a bit of a stay-cation/date-day to decompress a bit. We have never been kayaking before (I know I know...), so figured we should probably do it at least once as that's one of the 'things to do' here. We were a bit nervous as there were some experienced kayakers in our group, but I don't know if we lucked out by getting Dylan as our guide, or if all their guides are gems, but he made us feel incredibly comfortable and the whole experience super approachable. He was very friendly and impressively knowledgeable about everything from the location to its geology and the science that created these natural wonders, and super super patient in helping us rookies navigate how to stop going around in a circle. Being as how the smoke was a bit thick that day from various wildfires around the Cascades, he took us to Paulina Lake, and it was perfect. The smoke wasn't bad there at all, the lake was incredibly beautiful, and the history of the volcano we were paddling on, as told very eloquently by Dylan, was fascinating. We had no idea we lived so close to this so it was also great to discover a whole new area of our backyard we had never explored. Loved every second of it and will definitely be back to do it again. Thanks Dylan and everyone at Wanderlust!

🌌 An Unforgettable Night Under the Stars! (Celestial Wonders Stargazing Tour) Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) My experience with the Stargazing Tour was genuinely spectacular and exceeded all expectations. this tour transformed a simple night out into an exciting, deeply interesting, and surprisingly fun adventure. If you are looking for a highly professional and engaging deep-sky experience, look no further. In summary, this is a must-do.

Yup, the food is good. Flavor profile abounds. Seating is tight, and the service is splendid. We arrived for breakfast and was told it would be 25 to 30 minute wait. They offered a comfortable outside waiting area with free coffee. The wait was only about 20 minutes. Perfect execution of under promes and over deliver. Hard to mess up breakfast, and they did. not. Bacon was crispy. Eggs cooked as ordered. Potatoes were over the top good, crispy without being greasy. Scone was OK, not all that, but serviceable. Parking is a bit of a pain, but it is worth it.

We enjoyed our breakfast here on a recent weekend visit to Bend. The food was very fresh and the portion sizes were very much larger than I thought they’d be. I definitely too much food. This is a nice spot but be prepared to spend quite a bit. We sat out side and the weather was perfect and the seating area was very accommodating.

My family and friends ate Sunday brunch here while on a weekend trip to Bend. The staff were super friendly and the waiting environment outside was excellent. We loved the free coffee and fireside seating. Once inside, we sat outside and really enjoyed the cozy blanks on the chairs. This blanket feature was the most enjoyable and unexpected aspect of our meal. The food was plentiful, but arrived slightly cool and seemed to need extra salt to enhance the flavor. Not sure if we just got a bland batch of dishes, but we were surprised that we needed to request extra salt. Overall, this dining experience was delightful and highly recommended despite the seasoning deficiency.

Had the pleasure of dining with a lovely lady on a nice fall day in November. We had Sunday Brunch in early afternoon with a few couples and groups waiting ahead of us. However, a 20-minute wait in a comfortable seat with something to drink in a nice setting seemed fine, no problem. The food was amazingly delicious! It was all I could eat, and my date took some home. The atmosphere was sunny and bright, nicely decorated, and appropriate for semi-formal dining. The service was totally, absolutely awesome! They really took care of us! Recommended! Will definitely return!

My wife and I stopped here on a Saturday morning for breakfast. We were early enough that parking was easy and didn’t have to wait for a table outside. We ordered a breakfast burrito and French toast. The burrito was huge! Both meals were delicious. Our server was so kind! They gave us to go coffee cups!

⭐️ Brunch Bliss🌟 I had the lemon ricotta pancake topped with fresh berries, with a side of crispy bacon, eggs, and a caramel latte. I thought it was going to be a sugar overload, but it had just the right balance of lemon and sweetness. The pancake was light and fluffy, and it paired perfectly with the savory bacon and eggs. The caramel latte added the perfect cozy touch to finish it off. Everything was delicious and beautifully balanced, such a lovely way to start the morning ☀️

I tried the lemon pancakes along with a chai latte lightly flavored with vanilla, and both were absolutely wonderful. The pancakes were perfectly fluffy with a bright, refreshing taste, and the latte had a comforting, smooth flavor. Everything made for a delightful breakfast experience.

Spork is what happens when a Bend hiker, a Seattle garden gnome, and a zen master open a restaurant together—and somehow it works. The vibe is part eco-conscious self-serve (hydrate yourself, people, the water station awaits) and part culinary choose-your-own-adventure. It feels hands-on without feeling abandoned—like your cool friend who lets you borrow their kayak but still reminds you to wear sunscreen. Ordering could have been a nightmare given the menu reads like a love letter to every corner of Asia plus a few detours, but the gentleman at the counter deserves a Nobel Prize in Menu Explanation. He not only decoded the dishes for us, but sold us on why people rave about them—like a hype man for noodles. Ten out of ten, would let him guide my life choices. Food-wise: my husband ordered the happy hour chicken sandwich and is now in a committed relationship with it. He still brings it up in conversation as if it’s a long-lost flame. We got the fried cheese, because let’s be real—fried cheese is never a mistake, it’s a life philosophy. I had a noodle bowl that was absolutely incredible. Drinks? Let’s just say we “accidentally” upgraded happy hour to full-on cocktail hour. Zero regrets. In conclusion: Spork Bend is quirky, delicious, and unforgettable. We came for happy hour, we stayed for the food (and drinks). We’ll be back faster than you can say fried cheese forever.

Great food and cozy vibe! We got carnitas and chicken tinga in tacos. Both the tacos were amazing. Dan Dan noodles were delicious too. The Szechuan pepper kick flavour kicks in with first bite! Spicy fried chicken is a must try. The chicken was crispy and the sauce was tasty. The Tampico sunrise drink was great.(not in pictures ). Overall a very good spot for fusion food in bend 😍 there was a long line when we went in at 8 pm but it’s worth the wait 😅

This spot is eclectic, savory, and delicious. The menu is primarily Asian influenced, but they also have tacos and other specials. My companion had the beef and broccoli, which he thoroughly enjoyed (though it had a surprising amount of lemongrass). I had the shrimp and pork belly curry, which was bursting with flavor and a good variety of ingredients. The consistency was very liquidity which is not my preference, but it was so rich in flavor that I still give it a strong five stars. I also really enjoyed the punch cocktail with a rum of blends, tea, and apricot liqueur. The service was order at the counter and partial self-service, but it was friendly. The ambience is casual zen with plants and a slight bohemian feel. Great place to stop on your next trip to Bend!

The best place we ate in Bend! While having a more casual feel the food was anything but. Despite a busy evening and a long line, the staff take tote drink orders and deliver them to you while waiting for counter service! A lovely touch. The food itself was delicious, nom ish, and full of flavor. From the crispy cheese bites, seasonal melon salad, and incredible Szechuan Dan Dan noodles, every bite was wonderful and we simply couldn’t stop ourselves.

We celebrated our anniversary here. Very busy, lively atmosphere. Staff were friendly, accommodating, and efficient. Loved how they asked about any allergies. The food was tasty and perfect portions. Highly recommend the crispy Brussel sprouts and crispy chicken. Can’t wait til we can return to Bend and try other menu items.

Tasty and interesting dishes, but it's a bit loud and there's often a long line to order (you can't sit until you've ordered). The pork taco was the best, as the chicken taco was a bit bland and the shrimp taco had too much going on with it). The dandan noodles were somewhat like what I've had in China. The member of our party who ordered the banh mi asked for the spicy parts on the side, and they were able to do that. The kids liked the kids versions of the chicken rice bowl and chicken and pork. Most of the dishes are a bit small, so most adults need to get more than one thing. The pandan flan was excellent, and the coconut tres leches cake good too. We had to stand a while before ordering then being seated, but we were there early enough that the wait wasn't inordinate. The restaurant is rather noisy inside. Some people like that atmosphere, but I think it was too much.

Been coming here for years, never a bad meal (okay, maybe twice), but great flavors, interesting cocktails, super chill vibe and decor and very good service. Try the Dan Dan noodles or the tacos. Great stuff.

I'm always pleasantly surprised every time I visit. The food and mocktail options are great. Today I got the quiche and it was absolutely fantastic. Outside seating was nice and plentiful. Food came out super fast. I like the dog friendly seating. Out pup had a great time knowing his pawrents enjoyed their meal.

Jackson’s Corner on Delaware Ave was a great dinner spot! This was recommended to me from a coworker and I’m so glad she told me! Originally, I wanted pizza but decided on the burger. My husband got the 50/50 fettuccine. My husband said this was the best pasta he’s had in a while. He loved the taste and homemade noodles. My burger was cooked perfectly and the burger sauce was really good! We sat outside, there’s plenty of seating. There’s also a great variety of drinks and dessert. If you’re going with a group who has different tastes/cravings for dinner…this is the spot! Lots to choose from and the food was wonderful. The staff were very friendly, too! We went on a Wednesday, so it was a little more quieter. Now, we need to try the brunch!

Consistently lovely and delicious after all these years—always such a treat to visit Jackson’s Corner! We had the special—a Cobb salad—and a regular salad off the menu—the Jackson’s Blue. Both were fresh, flavorful and delicious. A couple of coffees accompanied by a salted chocolate chip cookie and a wonderful conversation left is satiated and heart/happy. Thanks, Jackson’s Corner, for the quality and consistency you always provide for the community! PS. The artwork and atmosphere are wonderful as always too. 🩷🩵💚

Fun place to chill. Good menu options. Not just the normal. Enjoyed breakfast with good thick bacon, fresh-cut fruit and berries, & great sourdough bread. Waitress was nice and packed up our cinnamon rolls to take home.

Honestly came for brunch but could've stayed for anything else my heart desired! They have coffee drinks, wine, craft beer, beer on draft, gelato, what appears to be a clay oven for pizzas. They have It all. Want to sit inside, check, outside check, want free bed samples and in-house made hot sauce and siracha, check. I got the brown sugar shaken espresso and the breakfast sandwich with sausage and it was amazing. My brother got the rancher's bloody Mary which he said was out of this world as well. Well done Jackson's corner

We came here for an early breakfast. We got reservations, but I don’t think they were necessary at 8 AM on a Friday morning. Definitely later in the day it got busier. We tried the breakfast burrito and I thought it was excellent. We also tried the breakfast sandwich which I thought was average. I would probably not get the breakfast sandwich again, but would definitely get the breakfast burrito again. We also tried the cinnamon roll, which I would skip next time. Parking is limited with only street parking available.

Mixed experience, great service, fast friendly helpful, but the food was average. High quality ingredients, local, well prepared, but some of the pairings were weird. For example, the spinach ruined the breakfast burrito, it almost entirely infused it with a weird green spirulina flavor. The breakfast sandwich was fine, the lemon aioli was delicious, but somewhere between the arugula, brioche bun, and lemon aioli did not work. And both the espresso drinks were horrible, like burnt office coffee from yesterday. The bacon was great, potatoes were fine

A landmark Bend location that we included into our modern day interactive postcard mural downtown. Thank you for your support on this project & giving us a shout on the marquee as well! We are humbled and really enjoyed working with this amazing community over the last week.

Great venue! Always a good time

Beautiful historic venue. They work hard to bring in a wide variety of entertainment. There's not a bad seat in the house!

Located in the center of town this theatre is sometimes called "Bend's living room." It is now a performing arts and concert hall. There is a heavy emphasis on educational programs, especially for children. Lovely space with art found in unusual spaces, making just walking into the building a visual delight.

An awesome venue that is clean and quaint. Nestled on the great of Bends downtown. Numerous different shows come here for all ages. Staff was friendly and all ticketing done electronically. The venue is small enough to have great seats, but big enough to accommodate larger shows. Downtown parking. A must see if you live in Bend or are visiting.

Fabulous, amazing performances and authentic art. Words cannot describe, it’s best for both the artist and audience and viewers to experience it themselves. Tourists do not miss the BEST part of Bend City. The Tower Theater.

Saw the Who's Line group here. Comfy chairs, kind staff and good selection at concession stand. Parking can be a pain but I had a nice walk!

Nice setting to see a show. The food trucks are great with a good variety. Being from out of town, we assumed the time on the tickets was entry time, considering it was so early. Our loss. We missed the first 15 minutes of the opening act we flew to see. I was also kind of disappointed to see there was no designated "standing only" area near the stage. It was definitely giving a "stay off my lawn" vibe. Either way, I would definitely return to see a show here again.

Went to see Rufus du Sol there. It's was an amazing show. The concessions were awesome, free water, good NA selections, plenty of Alcoholic choices. Not a bad seat in the house. Pretty good sound, but have to say The Gorge has better sound. Would visit again. Very centrally located.

Probably one of my favorite venues on earth. Top notch sound (with the right team behind it). Great stage production for it's size. Small venue. At times it feels like a private show with the stage production of a huge venue. This venue is an absolute gem.

I've loved and will continue to love and appreciate this outdoor place perfect for concerts and events. The set up is perfect, food and drinks are always good, and the location is scenic. I've been here for 6 different concerts, and the acoustics and pricing has not disappointed once. We just saw Chicago at the end of this summer, and it was awesome! Did I mention it's by the river as well? Talk about an awesome place to see concerts during the summertime! The vendors they use at the events are all local businesses too, so yay for that. Bend is such a great place to be at, or just visit for the weekend anyways, but Hayden Homes Ampitheater makes it even better, and worth the 2hr drive from Lebanon for me.

Great venue to catch a show. Seen many great shows here over the years. Picturesque setting with all the mountains surrounding Bend. Parking can be tricky if you don't want to walk too far to the show with all the shoppers and floaters.

Fantastic concert venue! We drove over from Portland to see Bad Religion and Dropkick Murphys. My wife wasn’t aware of the ADA section when she bought tickets, so I called the venue on the afternoon of the show to ask about accessibility. The person that answered was extremely helpful. When we got to the venue, we were directed to ADA parking that was conveniently close to the VIP/ADA entrance. The staff was the most helpful and accommodating that I’ve ever experienced. The food and drink offerings are priced similar to other entertainment venues, and the quality is top notch. You’re allowed to bring in empty water bottles and they have free water refill stations around the venue. Throughout the show, I continued to be impressed by the staff and guest services. Before the night was over I found myself looking at the upcoming events just so I could have a reason to come back! Thank you to everyone that works there!

Seen Glass Animals at a sold out show! Would recommend VIP for early access but very pleased with the setup and crew was extremely friendly and commented on my red beard and outfit. Would drive again from California to attend another show.

So easy to have a fun experience here! Great staff, super friendly and efficient and communicative. They handle all the equipment answer any questions you have give you advice to ensure you have the best experience. I did a one hour kayak and just had a fabulous time.

Great first time float. Wish it were longer. Definitely not a full two hours but maybe they were including travel time on the bus. Second time will be much better after getting an idea of the current and when you should work your way to the right side or left side of the river.

We had a blast! Easy instructions and it was seamless. We hopped on the tour bus, were dropped at the starting point after some quick safety instructions and on the river we went. A nice calm float with some fun little rapids in the middle. When we got to the take out spot the bus was there and the driver was carrying our tubes up for us. On the way back to the parking area he showed us some good places to eat. Thank you! 100% will do again.

Absolutely worth the value of not having to drive or lug everything yourself! Staff were friendly. Great experience!

Great value! The tubs were nice and thick with a mesh bottom. We went at 10 am and it was not crowded and not cold like we thought it would be. It is a lovely float and the directions were easy to fallow. There are bathrooms at the registration which was nice. The staff was efficient and kind.

We had a fantastic time tubing the Deschutes with Tumalo Creek Kayak and Canoe! Four of us went together and enjoyed a mostly leisurely two-hour float down the river. The fish ladder section was especially fun and gave us a bigger splash than we expected! The check-in process was quick and well organized, and the shuttle bus left right on time, making everything smooth and stress-free. Every staff member we interacted with was helpful, friendly, and clearly focused on making sure we had a great experience. The only thing that could have made it better would have been slightly warmer weather, but that is Oregon, not Tumalo Creek! We will definitely book with them again.

My husband/I and our two friends went on Friday and had such a great time! Such a well-run company and staff was willing to help anyone who needed assistance. I was one of those customers who didn’t get to the right at the end of the trip and had to be “rescued.” 🙄. Staff was in it and very nice and polite about it. We will definitely be doing this activity again. Thank you for a fun experience!!

First time in town and we absolutely loved it! 10/10! The people we talked too. The beautiful sunset. The wildlife and happiness of genuine human beings. I mean we have been to Ontario.... Which gives Oregon a horrible name! GIVE IT TO IDAHO ALREADY! This is the true beauty of Oregon! Thank you so much for preserving this!

We went on the trails....it was amazing! You will see so much wildlife on your walk. The people are very friendly and it is very safe. We saw some deer on our walk. If I lived closer I would be here everyday!

Farewell Bend Park is a wonderful and beautiful park located in Bend Oregon along the banks of the Deschutes River. The park is constructed and designed perfectly with green spaces, playground equipment for children, paved walking paths and dirt paths, walking and biking bridges across the Deschutes River, and wetlands retained attracting local birds and wildlife. There are covered areas along the river, with sitting areas, benches along the way. This was our first visit, there was ample parking, people enjoying the park with children looking for birds and fish in the river, we pointed out baby ducks for them to see. There were people walking dogs, and playing fetch with a tennis ball. We were there about an hour and could have easily stayed the day. I've attached some pictures. If you find my review helpful please give me a thumbs-up 👍. Thank you!

Awesome trail. Great views. Easy 1.33 mile loop. Great artwork. Clean restrooms and plenty picnic areas.

Farewell Bend park is at the beginning of a trail along a awesome part of the Deschutes River trail. The park side of the river allows bikes the other side restricts the trail to walking/running. There is a bridge across the trail quite a way done that allows you to switch sides. Mountain bikes recommended.

This review is for the river float. This is our second time floating down the river as a group. It’s a lot of fun and relaxing. There is a little excitement when you reach the rapids. My tip is to lift your backside up as high as you can to minimize bumping on the rocks below going down the rapids.

Beautiful park to walk around, enjoy the views of the mountains, the river, the plants/trees and the animals. it is close to the old mill district and there are a couple of bridges from were you can have great pictures of the river and town. there are some rentals to kayak or paddel, saw a lot of people having fun with their families and dogs! Great place in Bend that i recommend visiting.

Had our anniversary dinner here and we're wowed by the staff, views, food and atmosphere on the river. Sat outside comfortably, dogs allowed on patio. Inside looked lovely, too! Room for small and larger parties.

Such a cute place!! The atmosphere is really nice. The staff are very friendly and accommodating! My daughter has food allergies and they were very helpful. The food was delicious! I highly recommend the chowder!!

I travel for work and often try to find the local go to places. Pine Tavern came highly recommended so I figured I would check it out. I went in during happy hour and was impressed immediately. The staff was friendly from the moment I walked in and made some incredible recommendations. The happy hour food was top notch and the creme brulee was one of the best I have had. I have to compliment the service as well- Madison was personable and professional and did not stop running around the entire time I was there. Her recommendations were on point and I ate entirely too much food. The whole vibe was impressive. Go here- you will NOT be disappointed- I'm looking forward to the next work trip here!

Came in around 2pm for the Happy Hour Menu. We were promptly seated and greeted by the waitress. This is a really nice setting for a tavern. Felt like I was in Boston or something similar to that. The menu was simple yet full of great choices. We tried the Shrimp fajitas and the Fish Tacos. Both were excellent and I highly recommend! We had a second order of the shrimp fajitas right after because the sauce was so delicious. We tried the Huckleberry-Lemon cider which was tasty! For dessert, we finished off with Peach Crumbler. Our waitress was very attentive and prompt. So glad we stopped here on our way back to San Francisco.

Located in a historic building on Mirror Pond. The atmosphere is excellent. The service is average. Good selection of main courses. I tried the Blackened Rock Cod with Beau Blanc sauce. Fish was a little dry and the pepper coating was excessive. Other in my party enjoyed a pasta dish with shrimp. Bill for 4 was $150 with the tip (no booze).

Found this place while visiting the area for a concert. Sure glad we did. We were able to get seated quickly, very friendly staff. Food was amazing, and the drink selection was tasty. Would definitely recommend trying, you won't be disappointed!

We stopped by for happy hour. The drinks were refreshing and perfectly. As for snacks, their creamy hummus and veggies to munch on paired well. Light enough to keep it casual, but tasty enough to make you want seconds. Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Definitely a go-to spot for an easy drink and a bite without breaking the bank. Cheers to that!

3/19/25 UPDATE: The owner reached out to me and made the order correct. The order was not fully fulfilled. For that I am increasing my rating from 1-star to 4-star. The reason it's not a 5-star is the local pick-up option was not addressed rather than shipping it for local consumers. 3/5/25 UPDATE: I wanted to spend that online gift card so I did. Small warning for consumers. When purchasing an item, make sure it is the weight they say it is. I received 2 - 1 lb fudges and they turned out to be underweight. When I was looking at the packaging label it said 1/2 lb fudge and I knew I paid for 1 lb. So I took it out of the box and weighed them both. Short of 1 lb. The pics tell the rest of the story. No disclaimer that they might be underweight. I weighed them on a calibrated scale with and without the boxes. Goody's should weigh their product to make sure that consumers are buying what they purchased. Because $22 for a 1 lb brick of fudge is quite steep and being shortchanged for a product that I purchased would be delivered with the correct weight in good faith, that didn't happen. Changing rating from 3 stars to 1 star. Original Review: I went here for a Valentine's gift. I wanted to pay with a gift card that I got. I found what I want and then I was told I wasn't able to pay with an online gift card. I also was under the assumption that you can do a local pickup if it was purchased online. There was no pickup option so that locals can purchase online. It boggles my mind that if you're local, you would be able to pick up an order in-store. This will probably be my first and last time shopping here. They released that they were going national a few months ago, well this isn't a good look for our local community if the business can't offer a pick up option when checking out. I didn't give a one star since I do understand that it hurts local businesses. But the arrangement was nice.

The s'mores sundae was amazing at 9:15pm on a Friday night. $10 was a bit more than I would have liked to pay, but it was worth it.

Goody's is a great place to visit when you feel like eating something sweet, they have a lot to offer! I've tried the s'mores sundea and I loved it. Definitely order in a waffle because the waffle itself is already a delight.

Goody is a must-visit for any popcorn lover! We ordered several different styles and LOVE THEM! They have so many amazing flavors, from classic caramel, cheddar & even peanut butter. My husband particularly loved their Carmel flavor & I loved the peanut butter, it was perfectly sweet and crunchy. We had a small hiccup with one of the items, but the sales staff sent a replacement right away. We highly recommend checking them out! They also offer decorative tins and ship orders, making them a great option for gifts.

My kids grew up at Goodies back in the day. The warmth and old fashioned feel is not there anymore. They used to pick out a stuffed animal at every visit and every stuffed animal was darling which made decision time very hard for them! Today the stuffed animals are all the same look with the big plastic eyes. Popcorn is now pre bagged and sitting on a shelf in a plastic bag. We all remember smelling the popcorn from outside and happily waiting for fresh popcorn to be popped. It just feels cold and sterile and the charm is no longer. Our grown kids visit Bend with our grandchildren and wish they could experience what they knew and loved as kids but sadly it’s nothing like the good old days. Goodies is iconic and could be the highlight of downtown and the highlight of childhood memories.

This place is awesome! Great chocolate and friendly staff!

Goody's is a fun little spot to stop for ice cream, especially on a warm day. They have a lot of other sweet treats and plush toys. The young people working there seem to have fun and add to the pleasant atmosphere. The scoops are huge and the price per scoop reflects that. They have a good selection of flavors including some sorbet.

We loved the ciders here. Apricot Peach cider and Peach Bellini Seltzer were our favorites. Did the Grand Slam flight of 12 samples.

It was awesome to try the flight of ciders - including their seasonal offerings. The blackberry is still my absolute favorite. All of their ciders have real fruit - nothing artificial. The sweetness naturally varies per flavor since they do not sweeten with sugar. 👍 Not much to eat, though they allow outside food to be brought in. Nice outdoor space, a pool table and a few arcade games inside. Plus, lots of options for purchasing their various ciders in multi-packs, plus they have mix-and-match quantity discounts.

Some great rotating ciders here. I liked the orange creamsicle flavor. The space is pretty open with outdoor seating and food airflow. A good place to check out when visiting.

Good prices; awesome ciders, had the Apricot and Pom-cherry; good atmosphere, they have a pool table and arcade cabinets; friendly staff, super easy to find a seat and get served on Sunday night during this 3 day weekend; free popcorn!! Awesome spot.

I love this place and their cider! They truly have something for everyone. Want to sit outside - check. Want to play pool - check. Want to feel like you’re at an upscale lounge - check. No they’re not having an identity crisis. They’re just welcoming of everyone! You won’t regret going here.

This is a great spot to sample different tasty ciders and to play free pool too! Most importantly, the staff is amazing!!! One of the employees at Avid found my partner’s wallet which we lost there and mailed it back to us in Portland along with some stickers. The wallet was returned with everything still inside and including a nice note. The staff here truly went above and beyond and are top notch. We are so touched and grateful!

We stopped at Avid on our way to our hotel in Bend. The bartender was a delight - friendly and funny. We shared a flight of 6: blackberry, watermelon rhubarb, jungle juice (pineapple, passion, fruit, plum, apple, tangerine), blueberry pomegranate, royal apricot imperial, rocket pop (raspberry, cherry, lime - just like the popsicle). They were all excellent. The jungle juice was like a flavor explosion in our mouth holes. You could taste the five different fruits. My favorite was the rocket pop and we left with a 6-pack. There are pinball machines in the back room, a fire pit outside, and just a really fun vibe.

Maybe it is the sunshine or the blood orange seltzer talking, but seriously, come check out a unique venue with good IPA options and multiple food trucks. Staff are friendly, and a huge dog friendly patio. This is a great place for friends to gather and relax. Love it! Didn't even get a chance to try the putting disc course.

Really fun brewery to try, and they had a full range of beers to try while we were there. Got a flight that came in a custom frisbee which was super fun, and the guy was friendly and cheerful. We liked all the beers we tried, from a sour to IPA to a pale. They have an awesome outdoor space and plenty of parking room.

Update 6/24..... Still awesome! Another great brewery in Bend. Beer was fantastic with 7 handles and a couple guest taps. Bold, big beers that lead in their style. Family friendly and clean throughout. Fun outside area to run off steam or sit outside. 4 food trucks, only 1 tried this time but the food was great. Overall a much needed place in SE. Staff was friendly and inviting. Prices as expected. I look forward to returning regularly. Disc golf is huge here.

This is an awesome location with a fun, outdoor area. It has food carts and a disks golf theme. This little hidden gem is tucked away where you could miss it if you were just driving by. But once you walk in, the atmosphere is lively and colorful! Friendly staff, good beer, cool food carts. I recommend checking it out if you’re looking for a new place in Bend to drink and be merry! They even thought of wheel chair accessibility and gender-neutral bathrooms!

Close to 5 stars but no stouts. Add an Imperial Stout! Plenty of parking and a good assortment of food trucks. They had a Cascade Dark Ale which was good but no stouts (or porters). Lots of tables but I saw no IR heaters for cold nights. Bldg next door has jome brew classes.

Fun place. Cool shtick with the disc golf theme. Beer was good. Looking forward to trying more of them. I had the Hop Tour Series - Mandarina Bavaria and it was a decent brew for sure. They have a fun game you can give a shot... toss your coaster at the basket.

A nice chill spot; refuge from wildfire smoke! Loved the Maibock. They’ve thought of you, your pet, your infant, anyone who is differently abled. This is a welcoming place.

We spent three days at the Riverhouse Lodge, in Bend, Oregon in October, 2025. We would stay here again without hesitation. A very relaxing and enjoyable place to spend part of your vacation. There are three buildings at the lodge and all have nice, clean, large rooms. Two of the buildings are on either side of the Deschutes River. Some of the rooms at the lodge have fire pits on their patio. The rooms on the west side of the river are connected to the east side (with the restaurant, bar, game room, and guest check in) by a walking bridge. Walking across the bridge to breakfast allows you to see the beauty of the river as it runs through town. The restaurant has good menus for all meals but there are some wonderful restaurants in town if you’re looking for other options. If you do eat in the lodge restaurant, ask for servers Dave or Taryn (like Karen but spelled with a “T”). They are fun and will take good care of you. Other benefits to staying at the Riverhouse Lodge include a steam room, dry sauna, and two pools; one indoors and one outdoors. There is a family-type room for kids that plays movies to keep them occupied. If you’re visiting in October, keep your eyes open for deer migrating down from the high country. If you’re going to stay in Bend, we strongly suggest the Riverhouse Lodge.

Don’t stay here. You’ll be charge incorrectly and won’t be refunded. It’s like they don’t understand what they are doing. Lady at the front gave us the wrong receipt at checkout. Freaking us out thinking we would be charge over 1k. We paid through third party on their site called flex pay . So we were so confused as we looked closely at our receipt it had some others guy name on it, their total and their room number. After we got correct receipt, we were told pending charge would fall off since we had paid with third party. It ended up clearing my account and giving me an overdraft fee with my bank. We called and we were reassure of a refund and it’s been a week and nothing. All they did was email a receipt again. This has been a very frustrating situation. I figure booking a nicer place would be easy peasy and it has not. We were also charge for parking although I prepay this and thankfully this was refunded. But it’s like they seem so careless and like they don’t like really pay attention to what they are doing. Our room was pretty dusty. My husband and I kept sneezing. The sink was like back up. We ran out of body wash in our room on our first shower. It’s like they never bother to check the room to make sure it would be good for someone to stay with. It was just a whole mess. We weren’t happy and for what we paid not worth it. Who knows if they will refund us? At this point I rather dispute it with my bank. Don’t bother with this place unless you don’t mind the service or being charge incorrectly.

A bit dated but it was a large room and bathroom so there are benefits. The Tesla charger was a very old one and really needed to be updated and a second one installed. There is a newer setup over in the corner by the restaurant that will charge faster but it was too far from the room and limited space for me (wheelchair user). I did very much enjoy getting up and having a full charge. BTW they charge for parking.

A verybniv we place to stay, nice rooms and the river running between the different room building is beautiful. The facility is showing its age a bit, but still very nice and clean. The indoor pool and hot was lovely to visit on a cool morning and the wet sauna was also a treat. Did not use the outdoor pool.

My family and I had rented several rooms at the establishment for my father's memorial in Bend. It was a beautiful well kept and peaceful hotel it felt like a resort. Making s'mores and gathering around together to swim hang out and eat at this property. My daughter was able to bring her dog which was invaluable because the dog is very elderly and has issues that are concerning but she was made very comfortable and enjoyed the stay as well. My room was literally facing the river it was gorgeous and the pool was very clean and well kept along with the hot tub it was definitely a family vibe I would recommend this place to anyone who is traveling to the Bend area

Amazing . We came here for a company seminar and reserved 2 rooms one for my husband and I and 1 for our workers . First room was a 1 bedroom California king right on the river with a fire pit and the other room was huge had 2 sets of bunk beds , 2 queens and had 2 bathrooms (1 with a soaker tub) and 2 closets . Also has a private patio with a fire pit . There is a restaurant on site called currents which had delicious food , wine selection, and ciders. We did not try any cocktails but they looked delicious and the bar staff is very accommodating and friendly. Currents is split into 3 parts , restaurant, lounge and bar . The bar connects to the back room which has a pool table for entertainment. Food that was selected during our stay was quite good . I had the beet and burrata salad, which was a 10, the steak bites and fondue was a 10 as well, also had a the steak and Chimichurri dish (the steak (9) was seasoned and cooked perfect , the sauce that the potatoes and side were in was quite spicy and was rated a 7, trout dish was quite good the trout was not fishy at all and seasoned well served with a almost scalloped mashed potato which made the dish rated an 8, also someone ordered a pasta dish that was quickly devoured and they rated it a 10. We did order a dessert to go which was an apple tarte with a vanilla ice cream and an apple cider syrup topping and it was quite good I would rate it an 8 . I would highly suggest this Lodge . Pricing is reasonable and the staff was excellent, rooms were clean and having amenities on site makes it an amazing mini vacation spot . This does have a pool and fitness center, but unfortunately I ran out of time to check out the facility’s :)

Super pretty!!! Pools were big and fun things to do near the indoor and outdoor pools. Rooms were very clean and good temperatures. I recommend lowest floor for the fire pit. A couple of scary bugs, but what can I say? It is nature! People seemed nice and no people being loud during night hours. Very nice place!!

Food was pretty good, but service and atmosphere was amazing. We let our server surprise us. He brought the kamikaze tuna appetizer which was our favorite. The steelhead was top notch. Elk burger was delicious. Cajun Tots were a bit over-spriced.

Interesting place, and people love collecting their complete visits of all of their locations. They make it fun to be there with a wide range of novel themes and locations. This location has a secret entrance to a Speak Easy, and I won't reveal the location. They have their own brewery and the flight of beers we had were not outstanding, but there is a good variety. The food was good, the Cajun spicing of fries and tots was really a nice addition. It's upwards of $20 to get a meal, but you're paying for the place and atmosphere.

The overall experience was exactly what you'd expect from a healthy mcmenamins! High energy and happy waiters, very attentive and very helpful in deciding what to eat. Everything came relatively quickly and the food was really good. The fries are delicious and so we're the Burgers. My wife enjoyed a trippy tiger as well which was a treat for her. 4 stars for the food is for the reason of quality control, after the pandemic they stopped making some things in house like the pretzel sticks, though they were delicious, mcmenamins is known for their great pretzels according to my wife so it's suffice to say that was a bit unfortunate and we hope their standards are raised back to pre-covid.

After a lively night at a concert, our group of six wandered into McMenamins in Bend without reservations, hungry, loud, and, if we’re being honest, a little over-enthusiastic from the evening’s “adult beverages.” We were fully prepared for a wait or for chaos, but instead, we were met with one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. Our server, Raven, was nothing short of incredible. She welcomed us with an easy smile and an unshakable calm, even as we rattled off orders full of modifications and last-minute changes. She handled each request without missing a beat, making us feel like valued guests instead of a post-concert inconvenience. Her timing, attentiveness, and humor were exactly what our rowdy group needed. The food arrived faster than expected, and impressively, all at the same time. The two pizzas were hot, perfectly baked, and generously topped. The burgers were cooked to perfection, juicy and full of flavor, with fries that were crisp and golden. The pretzels with cheese were warm and soft, with a rich, savory dip that disappeared quickly from the table. The fish and chips were fresh, flaky, and piping hot, while the salad was crisp, colorful, and clearly freshly prepared. Every plate was spot-on in temperature and presentation, which is no small feat for such a varied order. By the end of the meal, every one of us was beyond satisfied, not just with the food, but with the atmosphere, the friendship, and of course the outstanding service. Raven’s professionalism and personality elevated the entire evening, turning what could have been a late-night scramble into a perfect ending to our night, and she even took time to take our picture.. If you’re in Bend, on a Bender like us post-concert, or just passing through, McMenamins is worth a stop. And if you’re lucky enough to have Raven as your server, you’re in for a treat.

Really cool spot housed in a converted 1930s Catholic school building. McMenamins has done a nice job preserving the historic character while creating a comfortable bar and restaurant experience. The atmosphere is definitely the highlight here - dining and drinking in former classrooms with original chalkboards and school features still intact. The McMenamins artwork throughout tells the story of the building and adds to the nostalgic feel without being overwhelming. Food at Father Luke's Room was solid Pacific Northwest fare with good variety. Nothing groundbreaking but well-prepared and reasonably priced. The beer selection features McMenamins' house brews plus other local options. The Principal's Office bar is a fun novelty - having a drink in what used to be the actual principal's office gives the place character you won't find elsewhere. Service was friendly and knowledgeable about both the menu and the building's history. It's worth a visit just for the unique setting. The food and drinks are good, but the converted school atmosphere is what makes this place memorable. Great spot if you're looking for something a bit different in Bend.

Upon arrival we were politely greeted by the host and we asked if we could have an 2 person table next to the bar, as the bar did not have 2 seats together. We were just looking to stop in for a quick minute to get a beer and an app. The host stated that we could have the booth and that would be fine for us to sit there. Unfortunately, as we were at the booth not even 1 minute, the server for that section, a young brunette gal, stated that if we were not eating that the table was for dining customers and not for bar customers. We had let her know that we just wanted a drink and the host had given us the “okay.” We asked if we could stay there and the server replied that it would be best if we moved. Again, the bar did not have two seats together, so all in all we just left. I guess their loss on our business. Seems to be a popular place and had an awesome old time atmosphere. Just hope it’s better service if we ever go back.

Stopped in for brunch while we were in Bend for the weekend. Zero wait time, even on a Saturday, and had great service. All the food was great, but the blueberry pancakes stole the show. Big, fresh blueberries and fluffy, homemade pancakes. That alone was worth the trip. Second prize goes to those seasoned potatoes.

I loved this place so much. Was able to visit on my first day in Bend and the sun was out, people were out. Honestly so beautiful. I walked the trail along the riverside and almost cried because it was so calming. Just nature sounds and people casually chatting on their walks. Others were doing a variety of different water activities in the river itself.

As tourist we wanted to do what the locals do and float on the river. BUT the water was freezing so we just walked around and took pix of the beautiful landscape. Very well maintained park and very dog friendly.

So fun to float down the river! Get there early for good parking. Get a bus pass ($5) for an easy end of the float return!

We were there for the High Desert Art Festival and we had a nice time. It was pretty crowded and parking was a bit hard to find, we parked at the Old Mill and walked over. Lots of people tubing down the river.

Best day to spend the last official day of summer on the river. Beautiful people. Lot of smiles. Great sunshine and the beagle like like being in the float with me. It was a great day

We had a fun afternoon floating down the deschutes river. It took around 2 hours. It’s a local thing to do in Bend. For $18 per person you can rent an individual float tube. Starting June 22, the shuttle service will start, as floating down river is a 1-way trip from the old mill district to Drake park. You cross under 5 bridges & go through 1 area of small rapids. There are also kayaks for rent, but those can go fast in the summer without an advance reservation. We went a week ago on a warm day- the water was still ice-cold from the snow melt but still comfortable.

Love this place! Park and Float for $4/Day! Rental tubes are available nearby or bring your own. Take out is 90ish minutes down River. $4 - Cash only Shuttle with trailer for tubes brings you back!

Had a fantastic experience at Pine Mountain Sports! Dan and the crew were amazing—super welcoming and went out of their way to make sure we had the perfect setup for a day on the trails. They really made us feel at home and well taken care of. The bikes we rented were in excellent condition and fairly priced. Couldn’t ask for a better shop, and we’re already looking forward to coming back

These are just the nicest folks around. When we lived in Bend over a decade ago, the folks were friendly and service oriented. Today, this service orientation has not changed and folks here are even nicer if that's possible. Jason helped me out with a derailleur change to e-shifters today for my Santa Cruz. I just wanted it for the weekend when the weather was supposed to be nicer but he turned it around within 1.5 hours enabling me to try out the new shifters with some night riding today. Shifters are great. My wife and I will be centering our MTB and touring ski work at Pine Mountain Sports. Really appreciate the courtesy and going above and beyond. As an aside, some kids came in needing some e-bike service while my 2-year-old was causing some havoc. The folks at Pine Mountain Sports treated my kiddo and the other kids with the same courtesy, attentiveness, and service orientation as all guests. So glad to know that not only our family's outdoor adventure needs will be taken care of here for the years to come.

Pine Mountain Sports takes care of its customers from the moment you engage. I was treated with respect, honesty, and clarity. Right from the start Dan led me through the process of selecting the "right bike" for me. I took delivery this week; Bill went through the entire bike with a comprehensive checklist and answered all questions with patience. I went on my first ride (e-bike) with a happy heart. There might be other good bike shops in Bend, but honestly, Pine Mountain takes care of their customers for years to come

Really excellent bike shop! One of their staff helped me navigate how to do my own tuneless tires and it was a great vote of confidence. Thank you!

This shop was legitimately awesome. On a trip here for a short time frame and had a seized hub and they got me in and out quick. While I waited got great tips from the staff on chain lube. Thanks AJ and Kevin

Best bike shop in Bend. Dan is so friendly and helpful. Really appreciative of the great customer service here. Jason and John handled my complex Time Trial bike build. They got me on the schedule quickly during busy season and stuck to estimated timeline. If you’re looking for a reliable shop with kind knowledge employees, check this place out!

Great staff. Super helpful . Everyone goes way beyond . As a newbie they have never made me feel anything other than welcome ! Makes me want to cycle more !!

Very clean, decent parking. Great trails on the beaten path or you can find your own way down the river. People are friendly and has a few outside amenities such as porta-johns and benches.

My first time here and it was a very nice surprise. Great easy trails for families w young children and the large grass area for the kiddos to play. Along with the benches to enjoy lunch.

Sawyer Park holds so many memories from my childhood. I still stop by every time I am in the area. We used to eat lunch here with my grandma on her lunch break when I was a child. Sawyer has a nice grassy area with picnic benches. There is a few different trails you can take including the Fishermans trail that goes down to a few different water access points. There are large rocks and great photo areas. We used to eat lunch on the rocks by the river. This park is also dog friendly and we met quite a few furry friends on our visit.

Beautiful park with access to the Deschutes River Trail! There are picnic tables and a water fountain for dogs too.

One of my favorite places to frequent in NW Bend during any season! This park features beautiful views, quick river access with dedicated fishing trails, an open grassy area for lounging or outdoor play, and access to the Deschutes River Trail.

Most beautiful park in this gorgeous city!

It has a beautiful bridge with water running under. I haven't taken any trails but have had a photo shoot and lunch here several times. The portable bathrooms are rarely clean, there's quite a bit of houseless individuals who often gather & sometimes find a shady place to rest their heads. I've never encountered anything negative. It's a pretty place, often seeing deer, squirrels & birds.

The Podski is a Bend staple! It’s definitely a local spot, but if you’re close to it, I recommend trying it out! There’s a ton of different cuisines that you can try and they’re all fabulous! They do run out of their popular dishes, so get there earlier in the day if you have your heart set on something. Enjoy!

Update 7/22. Still awesome with a great location. Food trucks are closing a little earlier than expected sometimes. Very cool place that had time off upgrades recently. Great beer selection with around 10 taps plus an indoor seating area. Numbers food trucks outside that can fill any appetite. Family friendly with fire and outside areas too. Overall great downtown please that is a must stop if you're in town.

So cute! Great food options and great drinks! Awesome place - definitely recommend.

So many wonderful food options and pet friendly. I enjoyed a fresh sushi roll while hubby had a vegan wrap with beer. Plenty of seating and appreciate the casual vibe.

What a great spot! Ate at Americana...Definitely in the top 3 burgers I've ever had. Great atmosphere.

Good, expensive, wish more trucks were open that are geared to kids (grilled cheese, hamburger, chicken strips) but still a fantastic spot!

Great spot to have beer and food! Super sweet and cool bartenders :,) they host silent disco on Fridays and Karaoke on Sundays!

Such a fun spot! The decor is warm and inviting, creating an intimate atmosphere. The staff is friendly and genuinely personable, and the drink menu is creative with something for everyone to enjoy

Cool and interesting cocktails, great vibes and friendly staff. Sat at the bar on a Saturday night and it was such a great time. Just feels like a place that you feel welcome. The two cocktails I ordered were both complex and well balanced.

I grew up in Bend and have visited a lot of the local establishments over the years. San Simon is always at the top of my list for a cocktail. The atmosphere is really warm and cozy, the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable, and all of the drinks are incredible. I always try to stop in when I come back to visit.

Love the friendly staff! Music on Friday night was fantastic.. such talent. I had the tamales and they were tender and so flavorful with the pork. Their homemade hot sauce was one of the best in Bend. We will be back.

Cool speakeasy kinda vibe. Drinks were good and very reasonably priced.

Incredible drink menu. Don’t be a basic tourist and ask for something you think is better. Trust the place you choose to visit. Delicious charcuterie, genuine staff.

Cool establishment, fun drink menu. However, the two male bartenders working late last night were very unwelcoming and not friendly. My husband and I each had one drink at the bar top and left. Such an uncomfortable experience.

The sunset views did not disappoint 😍 thanks all the Google reviews for telling us to go here! Loved the idea that you could walk around and learn about bits and pieces of oregons geologic history as you walked around each side. The donated mountain centerpiece was amazing too

Pilot Butte is a park where you can see 360° views. We went up to check it out in the early evening and there were quite a few people up there waiting to watch the sunset. We saw other people hiking or running the trail. They have alot of informational plaque at the top and information as to what you can view from that direction. They have a road that goes around the mountain until you reach the top, there is also a trail you can hike along side the road. Beautiful views.

This is simply an amazing State Park. It should be listed as a must visit place for anyone visiting bend. However, this did not show up on any visitors list. The scenes and views and sites from this location are simply breathtaking and amazing. The digital pictures do not do it justice. I highly recommend every single person visit this place when they are in bend and if you haven't yet, you're truly missing out on God's creation and beauty

Awesome little spot to see a 360° surround of Bend. Couple of paths to run or walk up

It was a hazy day as I climbed up the Pilot Butte Nature Trail to the summit. You will need to pick up a brochure at the trailhead for the numbered posts on the trail. The one mile nature trail is a very steep dirt trail after the short paved section at the trailhead. The scenic viewpoints with benches along the trail make it easier to climb to the summit. The summit has nice views on a clear day of the Three Sisters, Mt Hood, and a number of other peaks. You can drive to the summit as an option to hiking the steep trail. The park has no water fountains at this time that can be used. The trail is located at the second exit for the park on Greenwood Avenue near downtown Bend. A nice park in Bend with three trails, picnics tables, a bathroom, a playground and great views on a clear day of the Cascade Mountains.

Short but sweet! Nice views from the top. If your go early you need the trail head parking lot!

Breathtaking views literally, you will have no breath walking up the loop. Love seeing the mountains and all the butte’s and the sunset is amazing make sure to show up early there will be no parking at the top

YUM! 😋 food here was phenomenal. Place gets busy and isn’t real big so make a reservation if you can. Crazy how fast the food came out and was piping hot. Everything tasted fresh and absolutely delicious. Lots of flavor. Good level of spice. Great for date night!

This is the BEST Thai restaurant I have EVER been to. Service was QUICK. My server Ryan was awesome!!! My drink amazing. They made it extra strong too👏🏻 My food …. SOOOO GOOD I’m still eating it but had to stop to give this review THANK YOU

If I could rate this place 6 stars I would! Came here on a Friday night with my partner; the place was packed but we got lucky and were able to get seats at the bar. I thought for sure we’d have to wait a while for our food to get here but the service was so fast. We got our food within 10 minutes of ordering and it was absolutely delicious. Perfect spice level, exquisite flavours across the board, well crafted cocktails, super friendly staff and extremely reasonable pricing! We shared two dishes with a cocktail each and the cheque came to 66$ (before tip) also the atmosphere and decor is lovely, which really enhanced our dining experience. Highly recommend if you’re in town!

One of the best Thai food we ever had. The deep fried papaya salad is unique. Probably a different take to it but it’s still really good. The kao soi is very tasty and also the stir fry curry noodles.

I grew up surrounded by different kinds of delicious Asian food, so it's quite easy for me to be disappointed by the options available in cities that don't have a lot of Asian people, like Bend. I was initially skeptical about Wild Rose as well, especially upon entering the trendy-looking restaurant in the downtown area, but ended up giving the restaurant a chance with my partner anyway. I'm glad I did, because the food is wonderful. I appreciate Wild Rose for sticking to their specific Thai cuisine, not catering to simply offer exactly what is popular, like the fan favorite dish pad thai. They do have a lot of different dishes to offer, including delicious curries, noodles, and stir fries on their menu. They also have an affordable lunch menu, from which my partner and I ordered. I got the house curry, which was very satisfying. Service was pretty quick during weekday lunchtime, and waiters were efficient and nice. The atmosphere of the restaurant is comfortable and clean. I really liked eating here and would love to do so again.

Excellent service and very willing to discuss the food and culture. The Butterflies (sort of a crab rangoon) had very little filling so it was mostly crunchy fried shell with a really good dipping sauce. We also ordered the See Klong Moo Tod (spareribs) and they were a little dry. The other dish was a special and I don't know the name bit they were enjoyed. It seemed fresh and appealing but we just didn't order the right things to really see the chef and the great table condiments shine.

We went here for lunch and tried a couple of items. Both dish was flavorful and delish. The staff were really friendly and recommended the items we ordered. Plenty of seating. Street parking. Kids friendly. Efficient service and reasonable prices.

Kara is da-bomb! I drove three hours from Happy Valley just to eat here—and let me tell you, it was worth every mile. I didn’t stop for fast food because I saw this spot had bone marrow and lamb on the menu. Yes, I planned my whole day around this meal. 😋 From the moment I walked in (in a sweatshirt, flip-flops, and ashy feet, okay?!), the host welcomed me like family—even though they were only taking reservations. That alone deserves a star. 🙌🏾 Now the food… MELTED in my mouth. The timing of each dish was perfection. You get to actually savor the flavors, take a breath, and then enjoy the next plate without being rushed. Everything was fresh, rich, and flavorful. Keto-friendly too! 💪🏾 Zero complaints. The service was kind, patient, and never once made me feel less than—even though I wasn’t dressed like the other patrons. That kind of hospitality matters, especially in areas that aren’t super diverse. If you’re looking for a date night spot or just want to treat yourself to something special, this is it. Add this to your must-try list. The food, the vibe, the people… all five stars from Glitter G!

We love this place for entertaining clients or date night at the bar! The food is incredible. Our server Todd is top notch - friendly, fun, professional, and takes time to get to know the patrons. Try the carpaccio appetizer- it’s SO good! We will continue to come back - it’s a one of a kind gem in Bend.

After a long hiatus, I recently returned for dinner at Ariana and was pleased to find it was good as I remembered. Even for my seat at the bar I made a reservation 30 days in advance. You'd be advised to book early. After the amuse-bouche I started with the Dungeness crab and then the beet salad. Both excellent. Then on to the Halibut for the main. Also excellent. Loved the morels. Enjoyed a couple glasses of Walter Scott pinot noir during the course of the meal. Service and staff professional and friendly. I hope to be back!

Amazing experience. The food was outstanding. It was only matched by the fantastic host - Alyssa who was very classy and REALLY knew the menu well. Most definitely will return.

We visited Bend and are SO glad we got to dine at Ariana while on our trip. Top notch food, cocktails, wine, service, and vibes. We did the chef tasting menu, several life changing dishes! I highly recommend this place to anyone in Bend.

We were the most excited about Ariana’s when we set up our visit to Bend and it didn’t disappoint. Todd was our waiter. He was great as you’ll see in other reviews. The food was so special and delicious. The accommodated my husband’s garlic allergy easily. Everything was top notch. We will be back when we visit Bend again and talked about how if we were locals we would totally have a standing weekly reservation. Do yourself favor and trust the chefs menu. My husband didn’t go that route because of his allergy and was still super satisfied.

Amazing all around. Service was phenomenal and the food, we had the prix and wine pairing, was simple perfect. Atmosphere was energetic yet refined. Would highly recommend.

We took the barrel hose tour & then the next day did the brewery tour. Both guides were great! The tasting selections were amazing! Learning about the facility, processes & company history was truly a wonderful experience! Highly recommend!

Pretty basic tasting room with a small indoor area and some food trucks outside. They run tours regularly but we didn’t try it. Good selection of beers though including some tap room exclusives.

Highly recommend the Deschutes Brewery tour was such a fun hour with free tasting which made us buy before we left. Such an amazing tour guide she was very knowledgeable along with the friendly staff!

Took a tour of the brewery. Very informative and fun! Got the opportunity to try different beers and understand the brewing process. Really great value! Both employees in tasting room and tour guide were very approachable and knowledgeable. Super nice. Would highly recommend!

We love to come here. The food is always exceptional. Our server was great too. She took the time to share some good "local" spots and cheap ways to enjoy the town. This is a family friendly spot. I recommend the mac!

We did the Deschutes Brewery Tour today and loved it! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and informative. We learned a ton and tried a lot of different tasty beer that you can’t get elsewhere. Would highly recommend this tour if you are in the Bend area!

The brewery has a comfortable outdoor space for enjoying drinks and food. I purchased from a food truck and enjoyed it at the brewery. The interior design is outstanding, A visually appealing environment. The cider taste is on point, which is a key factor for many patrons and myself. The interior ambiance reflected the local character of the area. Deschutes Brewing Company is a great spot for enjoying a drink, especially if you appreciate a welcoming atmosphere and good quality beverages. The positive outdoor seating, decor, and cider make it a promising option for both locals and visitors

This was our first time at Phil’s. We loved it! We can’t wait to go back and try some new routes. There is something for the entire family at Phil’s Trailhead. I would highly recommend to anyone that is looking for an adventure.

Great trail system that's conveniently located in Bend. Trails are well marked and it's one my favorite places to ride.

Great trails and fun atmosphere of riders willing to help each other out

Awesome trails for all skill levels. Tails are well maintained and riders practice good etiquette. You can take it as easy or go as intense as you want. My friend and I started at around 8:30, did the intermediate trail, going around 12.3 miles. The uphill is a steady and gentle incline with around 3 tricky sections. We had a blast.

Fun rolling singletrack, some one way trails. Nothing too challenging, lots of trails to try.

Great riding Ben’s trail to pine drops to upper whoops back down same way to pine drops and then to Kent’s trail(less sand compared to Phil’s trail. At top skyline also a Greta option

While this trail system may not be as technical as other networks (Such as in BC, etc.) there is still lots of fun to be had. Due to the lack of elevation gain on rides you can easily hammer out a 25-35km route in a few hours and take in some amazing views. Lots of trails so you can create an awesome loop and not ride the same trails. Skills area is fantastic as is the parking lot and facilities. Trail heads and crossings are super well marked. If you are into gravel riding you could probably ride most of these trails on a gravel bike but probably not as much fun as on a mountain bike. Family and beginner friendly and I cant wait to return!
