The 20 best lounges in Bend

I’ve loved Velvet for years, at least the idea and aesthetic of it. Really well curated interior with a great ambiance. The owner is the only person I’ve felt good vibes from. The rest of the team, especially recently, have unfortunately always had frankly unwelcoming, bored, avoidant, unenthusiastic, dead expression attitudes no matter the time or stress level. I’ve even been in when zero customers were in the entire building and based on the sole interactions with the bar, or lack thereof, the magic gets leached away from the place. Without the bartenders, it’s just an empty building after all. A welcoming attitude or some conversation is the warm hearth that brings cold travelers back over and over again; people remember how they feel. Then again, even when the place is packed with people, I don’t feel any warmth or connection from anyone here. Maybe it’s a sign of the times, maybe it’s Bend in general. I’ll keep trying and coming back nonetheless.

Campy and eclectic. Touts a lot of infusions and herbals, but whenever a bartender does the big, long, showy pour of an ingredient instead of measuring, I'm pretty sure what the results will be. My wife's Mojito drink was watered to the point of tasteless. My drink tasted soapy and lacked balance. Given the numerous alternatives downtown, I'll be exploring other options.

Fun cocktail lounge. Great bartenders making great drinks. All around good vibe!

Nice bar to enjoy a cocktail at indoors or outdoors. It has a nice vibe and feel to the place. I enjoyed my whiskey sour here. The bartender is pretty quick at making the drinks. It was nice to be able to sit outdoors and enjoy the weather and drink.

Nice space for an evening gathering with friends or a chill night solo if you want to hang out in a cozy open space. Open late all week, good cocktails. Did not try the food.

I was with a group of 11 friends on the road trip.we were reading reviews of other clubs and lounge and wasn’t ready to explore those because of the negative comments we encountered. but This is one of the polite lounge in the town I found. Very less space but the crowd and music was good. Great drinks awesome bartenders!!! We had good time.

What a relief to be fully vaccinated and feel good going into spots like this, indoors, tight quarters. It’s a smaller bar but there’s an upstairs as well as outside, so plenty of seating. They have some unique cocktails and put their own twist on some more basic ones. Solid selection of canned beers and draft beers. I got the champagne jalapeño Margarita, which sounds so strange, but it was REALLY good. Pretty spicy though, too!

The drink menu is fresh and exciting. Great selection of whiskies (both whiskey and whisky). The appetizers were fun. The bread pudding is a YES!

Great bar in Bend! Enjoyed my old fashion and wagyu steak bites. Unique atmosphere with great service.

Very friendly service with evening live performances. Food is not bad but nothing special - the steak bites were a bit too well done for my liking.

Went here for happy hour on June 6. Sat at the bar and got great service from the bartender and server. My wife and I each ordered the happy hour Old Fashioned. The well pour for the OF is Lewis & Clark, which is a solid choice for that drink. We also ordered a whiskey flight and got some great education from the bartender. My wife ordered the smash burger and tater tots. She loved both but I thought the tots had too much garlic. I ordered the happy hour bourbon burger, which is outstanding. We were the first ones in the place when it opened at 5:00 but by the time we left there were quite a few parties.

Very cute little cocktail bar that's open late. Great service and good cocktails. Atmosphere is classy and fun. Seating is a little tight, but there's plenty of room. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Bend.

Incredibly knowledgeable bartender, may have been the owner. Could answer any question about whiskey and direct towards a particular bottle out of the hundreds available. Good cocktails, nice vibes, didn't have any food this trip but I'll definitely be back to try it next time.

Cool vibes, open after everything else is closed. Dark and cozy with a 15 page cocktail menu… all whiskey.

This place truely is a the capital of bends night life! Went there twice. Thursday at 9:30pm, very sleepy not busy but there is pool and the bartender is very nice. Great drink selection. Friday: total vibe when the djs pump the DIRTY FILTHY BEATS. Really the best place for edm or dancing in bend in my opinion. Great crowd no cover plenty of space. The beer selection is rough no blue moon corona or Guinness.

Cool place to have a little get together and listen to some badass music.

Love the music choices. Great DJ and fans for ventilation on the dance floor. Had a great time. Would recommend. If you want to dance this is the place to go.

Great atmosphere with a pool table and dartboard. The cocktails were creative and tasty. The service was phenomenal. Our only complaint was that everything was a bit over fried. The plates we shared were still quite tasty, especially the sauces provided. They didn’t have their dessert menu up and going yet, but said they are working on it. Cheers 🍻

Not only does this establishment sling the stiffest well drinks east of the Mississippi, but their DJs can warm the tepidest of crowds and the staff are the type to go the extra mile when your drunk ass leaves its valuables behind. Many thanks, Josh! 🫡

I’ve never had an experience like this. Stepped outside, and when I tried to go back in, the bouncer said me and my wife needed to pay the cover again. When I told him we had just stepped out for a second, he said we must be “too poor” to be there. The cover was literally $2.50, but I couldn’t bring myself to want to go back in there after being treated so poorly.

Great place to go dancing, you do have to go down a flight of stairs to get to the dance floor and bar

My boyfriend and I stopped in here for a quick bite while exploring downtown Bend. The service was great— the staff was on-point and attentive to our needs. It was Happy Hour, so I had the tamarind whiskey sour and my boyfriend had a margarita. Both were delicious! I especially enjoyed the whiskey sour. It was so fresh and lemony. For food, we tried their current special: the middle earth flat bread. It was very tasty! I loved the goat cheese. I would definitely eat it again!

Im really sad about how much this place has changed since the last time I was here in 2020. The paella used to be HUGE, loaded with goodies and delicious. The best paella in the PNW, I would dream about it. But now, its just a shadow of what it used to be, its mediocre at best. The drinks were very good, some of the tapas still hold up, but I don't understand why they ruined something so great like the paella recipe they once had. Probably never coming back because I was so disappointed... The new paella is dry and tasteless, barely had any ingredients, was mostly rice and very small. Picture attached is what the paella used to be like, you be the judge.

My husband and I are huge fans of Bar Rio so we were thrilled when they were able to cater our engagement party turned wedding reception! They made it super easy to coordinate and set up, Paris was phenomenal with communication and making sure we had everything we needed to make it run smoothly. We did pick up and honestly it took less than 10 minutes to get it all set up at our venue. Amazing experience! Would recommend to anyone looking for catering.

We came in for some tapas and were blown away by the combination of delicious flavors! We had a shrimp kebab, the fried cauliflower in tangerine glaze, and great chips with guacamole and salsa. We topped it off with a piece of Basque cheesecake, and enjoyed every bite! The staff was friendly day and attentive. Thanks for making our visit to Bend even more special.

After five visits, this restaurant continues to impress. The dishes are consistently flavorful and inventive, and the staff is attentive and welcoming. I’ve only dined on the patio, which offers a pleasant atmosphere, though I look forward to experiencing the interior as well.

Their cocktails are so good! My new favorite cocktail place in town. Their paella is even better than the one that I had in Spain

Went for happy hour just after 3. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. I had a jalapeño margarita and husband had a tamarind sour. Both were happy hour drinks and delicious. For snacks, we had the chips salsa and guacamole as well as the fried cauliflower. All excellent and fresh. This will be on our regular rotation for sure.

This is hands down one of our favorite restaurants. First of all the staff are just amazing! So nice, helpful and friendly! The customer service is exceptional! Then there's the food. AMAZING! My wife and I eat here whenever we are in Bend. We always have the Bangers and Mash (see my pic). It is SOOOOOO good! They have awesome T-Shirts too. I love mine. So the takeaway is this: If you are in Bend and you are hungry, JUST GO HERE! You WILL NOT regret it!!!

Super tasty spot, with cozy outside seating. You order at the counter, but service is quick even when there is a line. It was pretty busy on the patio, but we still had staff making rounds checking in on things and offering table service when they had the time. The gorgonzola fries were delicious. The picture doesn't do them justice, but they were also served on a massive sheet pan. There were plenty for sharing, and of course the sausages were good too!

Amazing food and amazing customer service. I highly advise people to give this a try. The mashed potatoes were so good and every hot dog Ive had so far is amazing. The chimichurri with bread they give you free free is good as well. That chimichurri sauce is very good

What a gem! The outside does not tell the full story of a lovely family owned business with a passion for sausages. Food: Really flavorful and thoughtful created. We did an elk sausage with cheddar over a pretzel with chimichurri sauce and WOW! Explosion of flavors, so good, so interesting, so memorable. Environment: They’ve simple indoor and outdoor seating, good music playing, and we lucked into a beautiful sunny 65 degrees. We enjoyed our patio seating and how dog friendly they were, along with the free WiFi. I think we were served by the owner and he and his staff had great attention to detail and took great care of us. Drinks: The Pilsner was great but it was the Imperial Mango cider was what made me stop to review. SOOO good! It was crisp and refreshing and somehow calmed the garlicky spice in a beautiful way. Bonus: The prices are the best we’ve seen yet in Oregon! Maybe we went during happy hour?!?! 🍻 🫶🏼⭐️

Excellent hot dog place with many varieties. As a fan of Chimichurri, I was delighted by their Argentine special hot dog. The sausages are juicy and flavorful and their homemade cheesecake is excellent too.

The sausages are great, as well as service and atmosphere. I had Mac n cheese as a side and was rather disappointed as it was somewhat bland. However I think any of the sausages are great.

Genuinely the best hot dogs I’ve ever had! And the blue cheese fries are phenomenal!! Very diverse menu including kangaroo?! So cool and unique! Great customer service!!

Not only does this bar have fairly priced drinks but the staff is amazing! Manager and Bartender Erica keeps the vibes fun and lighthearted, has amazing customer service skills and is just a blast to be around. Would highly recommend visiting even if it’s just for a good cackle

The manager and bartender, Erica, is such a wonderful host! While the drinks are good, it’s honestly the service that has me coming back again and again. Erica makes sure her customers are taken care of and treats everyone like family. Thanks for always making Astro’s a fun and welcoming place, Erica!

Josh, the owner likes to go to other bars and harass customers and talk about how he’s a boomer (he’s not, he would have to be 61 for that to be true and he’s not that old) and just be super loud and obnoxious in public. I would highly recommend staying away from his establishment. He doesn’t deserve money from anyone

where to start about astro? hmmm. service is amazing. i think her name is serena, i see her bartending on karaoke night. but i gotta give an honorable mention to erica! she has helped me out when i lost my wallet, or even just had a bad night. Sometimes i come in just to see her and get a smile on my face. atmosphere is great, it is my fave late night lounge. also, i love bubba.

Great place to blow off some steam and dance the night away!

Such a fun joint. You could be a punk rocker, a church lady, or a juggler and feel at home in this boozy cavern.

Showed up with a limo full of people last night celebrating a birthday party and we were told that women get in for free, but all the men in our group would have to pay $10 cash only. We all were planning on spending our money at Astros last night, but ended up spending it at every other bar in Bend (all of which let us in for free).

Fun place to visit. Staff are friendly and sont rush you. Chill environment with tvs to watch different things. Our server was really nice and patient. The bison burger was good and the salad was delicious. My drink was a little different than I expected, but it was ok. I'll try it again and check out some new items on the menu. I can't speak about parking because I used a ride service, but the area is nice and you can walk around the area.

If I was 20 again I wouldn’t leave on Wednesday nights. So much fun, so many people dancing, just a blast. The whiskey selection was surprisingly strong. Including a nice pour of OWA for $16. The burgers were solid and the fries were hot and tasty. Our bartender was a riot and was excellent with her drinks and service!

Stopped in for a few drinks after the Pepper/ Iration show. Employees were super friendly. It was a welcoming environment. Outside seating with a wood fire. The chicken strips were fire. Hand breaded deliciousness. The pic is the leftovers the next day. I will go back anytime I'm down in Bend.

Really cool location good beer and the food had really good potential. The fries were amazing and had a great peppery seasoning on top of it. The bison burger was really good, but we ordered it medium and it came well done (My friend ordered medium rare and it came well done). The wait staff never asked how everything was, so we never told them. Maybe they were just having a bad night. I could see myself trying it again.

The patio was nice. However, the chicken sandwich was not good. The chicken was super thin and tasted old and stale. See the photo of the black cardboard? That's it. The spicy sauce was ok, but I could not get over how thin and small the chicken was. It was smaller than my friend's chicken strips. This is what an $18 dollar menu item looks like. The service was ok. Skip food at this bar. Not worth it.

The cocktails are top notch! Stopped by after a concert for a drink. Very impressive bar tenders made two delicious cocktails. The waitress who checked on me while me partner was grabbing us drinks was incredibly friendly. The outside area desperately needs more stools, the inside was completely packed and there was a sparse amount of stools outside that a lot of patrons were vying for. Overall great place though!

I ordered the chicken strips. Didn’t realize they didn’t come with fries. I waited 20 minutes and finally went up to ask about them. An employee asked me if I ordered strips, I said yes. He said that they made me fresh ones because my first order sat and was forgotten. I said thank you. I opened my to go order box and was disappointed that I had 4 very small strips. I felt $13 was a bit steep for not including fries.

This place was overall fantastic. Things that stood out most. N/A drink options for the nondrinker. I had the chill pill, well made drink with a layers of flavors. Prawn Dumplings, I could and should have ordered 2 dishes. Im particular on Asian food, especially fusion. This hit all the senses immaculately. Monkeys drinking vodka and smoking 🚬 Bathroom decor, loved it and gave me a small chuckle. Shortrib was good and the polenta was great. Ambience perfect. Had indoor seating, bar seating and outdoor seating. Our server was attentive and prompt. Food came out quick, but fresh. I love a well calculated server. Good service can help make or break an experience, he elevated ours.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A true gem — worth planning your trip around! We love Dear Irene. So much so, in fact, that we literally extended our trip in Bend just so we could be here on a Tuesday night because they’re closed on Sundays and Mondays, and missing a dinner here simply wasn’t an option. From the moment you walk through the door, you know you’re somewhere special. It’s not a huge space, but it’s packed with charm. The ambiance is eclectic and inviting with plush velvet chairs in rich turquoise and citron tones, exposed brick, thoughtful artwork, and a vibe that somehow feels both elevated and cozy. We always sit at the bar top, and let me just say: Brian is a rockstar. Bartender, server, host, local guide…you name it. He makes us feel like royalty every single time, and his recommendations are always on point. The food? Out of this world. Every bite feels like it was made with care and intention. The dumplings are insanely good. The ribs? Fall-off-the-bone perfection. And the heirloom tomato salad we had on our most recent visit, Brian mentioned they picked up the tomatoes fresh from the farmer’s market, and you could taste the difference. It was hands down the best tomato salad we’ve ever had. Oh, and the bread! Just trust me on this one: get it. You’ll thank me later. We’ve never had a single bite we didn’t love here. It’s the kind of place you want to tell everyone about, but also keep to yourself because it feels so special. Dear Irene has become our favorite restaurant anywhere. We’ll keep coming back again and again. Call for reservations so you don’t miss out!

Amazing food, atmosphere, and overall deliciousness!! Definitely one of my favorite spots in bend, and I definitely plan to eat here again. I've been to some very fine restaurants in bigger cities and even in the ever-growing city of Bend, this place is up there in terms of flavor profile, presentation, and ambiance. Deliciouso! We arrived with no reservations and although packed, we got seated at the lobby and once a table opened up, they gave it to us, which was very nice.

A posh inviting atmosphere for good drinks, appetizers, and entrees. Adults only with a vibrant atmosphere that is also intimate. Service started at the door with a proper host to seat you. Followed with attentive staff and bartender. Appetizers/drinks only this but there were a small selection of entrees too. The appetizers were excellent and the menu featured items such as foie gras. They were large and shareable. Drinks were properly prepared and mixed to perfection, no bruising here. Prices were upscale. Reservations required. Parking is downtown. This is a more fancy date night option for adults or perhaps for celebrations.

Intimate restaurant with a fabulous cuisine, impeccably quiet and understated service, and background music lifted straight from Pink Martini. The salmon tartare was delightfully fresh, bright with accents, and virtually a meal in itself. The scallops were beyond tender, albeit with a nicely crusted surface, and were served alongside a wonderfully creamy sauce. The flourless chocolate cake was superb, swimming in a tart raspberry sauce. And the Monkey Business cocktail, Austrian white wine, and espresso were all great accents to a terrific meal. Well done.

We were blown away by the food at Dear Irene. This was easily one of the most memorable meals we've had in a long time and we especially loved the Mediterranean influence in many of the dishes we tried. We started with the sourdough and kalamata olive butter, followed by the roasted asparagus, strawberry & burrata salad, and the braised short ribs for our main course, which were incredibly tender and flavorful. We finished with the cannoli tiramisu for dessert which was also phenomenal. We were just in Bend for the weekend, but Dear Irene made such an impression that it’s officially a must-visit for every trip back. Cannot recommend it enough.

TLDR: This place is a 10/10 and a must try in Bend. We arrived just before opening and were actually greeted at the gate with a friendly hello and handshake from the owner/chef, Johnny. As an Art School grad who had to study a lot of design, I really appreciate all the little details they put into the quasi-Speak Easy/Art Deco interior design: from the draped chandeliers, to the velvet chairs, cross-complimentary color schemes, and the thoughtful lighting of the bottles on the shelves in the bar. Simply beautiful. Walking in and sitting down makes you feel like you are leaving Central Oregon and are entering a restaurant in NY or SF. Despite the restaurant quickly filling up and having brick walls, we could still hear each other talk without having to raise our voices. They must have some covert sound dampening. Our server, Serena (sp?) was a perfect representative of what Dear Irene is: super hip and cool, without trying too hard. She was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the food and drinks they have to offer. She coursed everything out and guided us along for a very memorable experience. The mocktails she recommended were amazing, too. The biggest hit of the night was definitely the Prawn Dumplings. This was our first time trying Dear Irene. We'll definitely be back!

Just got drinks, but they were great, cold and refreshing. Has a nice vibe, good service and bar chatter, and some good music as well. Definitely worth a stop by and just relax and enjoy the liquor and island vibes.

My wife and I had a good evening there. Friendly staff, good kalua pork and fun cocktails. We had great service, but it wasn't very busy and I think if it got busy they could be overwhelmed. But overall a great place that I hope people will support. Also, we love the tiki mug we took home with us.

A bit spendy. Run and vodka drinks mostly with island themes. Beer selection is minimal but had Kona so that's a plus. Jerk chicken was spicy goodness and kalua pork was smoked just right.

Hidden Gems! Made happy hour and we had a Pain Killer and a Mai Tai. The drinks were low/now sugar and wonderful. The staff and atmosphere are what’s expected. Cool, music spot on.

If you want a unique and themed bar experience try this tucked away Tiki Bar in Bend. I live nearby and consistently love to pop over for a bite to eat and drink. Great atmosphere, attentive staff, creative drink specials and amazing food. Come for the ambience, stay for the goods. For drinks, I highly recommend the Painkiller… a crowd favorite! For food, try the tacos… they rotate the menu a bit so they might be Korean or Jerk Chicken. The new coconut shrimp is also amazing. Do not miss this hidden gem.

Our server was excellent in recommending the drinks based on our preferences. We enjoyed all the drinks she recommended. We had spring rolls, and it was okay. We'll definitely come back again!

Located at the Old Mill district on the second floor in one of the buildings. It looks pretty cool walking but the experience was meh. Tropical atmosphere with a island vibe. The drinks were watered down and the food was ok.

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

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 had never been to Bend before and one of the number spots I was told to visit was Old Mill District and I must say it was... Generic. All the shops are either alcohol sellers or typical shopping mall stores I can go to anywhere. It is well managed and the walking paths around it are nice, but the only store I actually enjoyed visiting what the M's Bakery; that place is superb

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.

Went for our 12 year together anniversary. The Blacksmith never fails. Started with crab cakes and the cheese plate. I'll post pics, AMAZING. I had the filet with onion bacon jam and the blue cheese butter. Steak was cooked to perfection. I ate maybe a 4th of my dinner, appetizers were filling. Took it home, had it for dinner the next evening, still surprisingly wonderful. My husband had the pork chop special with mustard sauce. I am not a fan of mustard, had a bite and it was the perfect amount of mustard without being overwhelming. We try to go to new places for our dates, but it's hard not to continue to go to the The Blacksmith because you know it will be top notch.

Crab cakes were the highlight—but the rest of the meal struggled to meet even basic expectations. The filet arrived dry and unremarkable, lacking the tenderness and buttery flavor you’d expect from a cut of that caliber. The New York strip was even more disappointing—not only poorly trimmed, but of noticeably low quality. Out of a 16 oz steak, nearly a third was inedible fat and sinew. For a restaurant positioning itself as a steakhouse, the execution here was far below par. And then—there was the mac and cheese. Or rather, a bowl of pasta wearing the label of mac and cheese like a cheap disguise. As seen in the attached photo, it was a lifeless combination of overcooked elbow noodles with what appeared to be the faintest trace of cheese—more of a watery glaze than a sauce. The dish lacked creaminess, depth, seasoning—or any redeeming texture or flavor. If mac and cheese had a mugshot, this would be it. Someone call Tillanook, their name is being poorly represented. Aside from the nicely prepared crab cakes, nothing about the meal stood out in a positive way. For the price point, one expects thoughtful preparation, quality ingredients, and a dining experience that rises above cafeteria-level missteps. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.

This place is amazing! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was the wait.... reservations were at 8pm. We didn't get our food until 9:30 Drinks were delightful and creative. Wonderful wine selection. Food was delicious and filling with a great presentation We will be back soon. Maybe 5 stars if the wait lessens

Bend is stop 4 of our vacation. We didn’t have dinner plans and found Blacksmith online. The reservations were full but they were able to squeeze my husband and me in with only a few minute wait, thankfully! Great atmosphere. It has an upscale feel without the pretentious staff and uncomfortable experience of some high-end restaurants. Everyone we spoke to was incredibly friendly. My husband really enjoyed his drinks from the bar. He had the Steak and Seafood plate and raved about it. I had the Bacon Bleu Filet and OMG- I think it was the best steak I have ever had. So buttery smooth and juicy. I’ll be dreaming about that sauce for a while. I hope I can find a replica when we get back to Texas. The crème brûlée was also amazing!! It IS a little in the pricey side, but very much worth it for a special night here and there. HIGHLY recommend!!

This place has a reputation as being one of the best dinner houses in Bend OR. Our food and service was a 10! Derrick was our server. He had everything under control plus a great sense of humor. Really really happy with Derrick. You might think it costs too much....this place is worth it. For a serial occasion I highly recommend it. For food we ate steaks for dinner and cream brulee for dessert. Very tasty.

Food was outstanding. Cocktails were super tasty. The 4roses ginger was my favorite 😍 we got to laugh, play, eat, and enjoy. Most inviting. Thank you all very much.

Nice restaurant for a dress up night in Bend. Good food but not $200 good food. But good food nonetheless. Their half lemonade half sprite was delicious!

Loved this place! Coffee was great! Toasted waffle was great! Server did a great job guiding our orders for the coffee experience we were after since their sizings are limited. Ordered a 12oz cappuccino and he suggested a foamy latte since they only do 6oz cappuccinos. I just went for the 6oz. It was perfect! 😋 Wish we had time to stay longer and have another. Will definitely returned on our next trip.

Hey guys, I’m giving you one star just to get your attention: your plant is screaming for help! Its leaves are covered with a thick layer of dust — it’s suffocating, turning yellow, and drying out from all the dirt. Please, for the love of all that’s green, wipe its leaves! Besides feeling sorry for the poor thing, it wasn’t exactly pleasant to sit under it. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s infested with dust mites — the conditions are perfect for them. This is honestly cruel treatment of a living plant. Why have plants if no one takes care of them? For decoration? Well, it’s definitely not decorative anymore. If you and your staff are too busy, please hire someone who can come and look after the plants. Be kind — even to your greenery. P.S. The coffee is great, the pastries are delicious, and the atmosphere is lovely. But the plants… Please, save the plant!

One of the best coffee shops in Bend! Super casual and relaxed atmosphere! Seats outside or inside. Usually they open up the garage door so lots of fresh air! Mix of people hanging and working on laptops. Nice snack options like avocado toast and pastries. If you purchase beans, you can get a free drip coffee

I'm not sure if this is one of those places that it's worth driving extra to find, but if you're in the area, it's definitely a good non-chain place to get coffee and hang out. They also roast their own beans there. I had the maple iced coffee and it was pretty darn tasty. My son had the cortado and said the same. Was anything home run out of the park special? The staff probably. But that's why I would say not a drive out of your way to go. But definitely a place to hang out if you're local and or in the area.

Got an amazing cortado with beautiful art and texture. The beans I got I know are going to awesome since it’s roasted beautifully in house! My only issue was when I was getting a drip to go I was kind of given the stink-eye/ugh when asking for a splash of oat milk. It’s TOTALLY awesome that they make their own Cashew-Almond milk so makes perfect sense to not have oat! No big deal! I am sadly allergic to nuts though and just had a milk drink so I didn’t want to overdo it. As a barista myself I get it that oat is a trend & not always the best option for texture/taste. You just can’t shame people to their face about a preference choice.

Coffee shop with a nice selection of baked goods, and a good atmosphere. The space also displays art work for sale from local artists.

Friendliest coffee in the city. If you are looking for a spot to post up or grab and go…THIS IS IT! Delicious. Lone Pine always delivers! the best coffee, pastries, 🫘 and beans. Highly recommend a bag of their Heartwood Blend ❤️ for enjoying coffee ☕️ in the morning at home.

Awesome happy hour! Sat at the bar and had a great experience. Quality eats, top notch bar tender Willy, and atmosphere to match. Well recommended.

The new owners have really turned this place around! I can see that they are trying to make things right with customers from 1 to 12 years ago that left bad reviews. Too bad Google doesn't just delete those when the business is sold to someone else. Service was good and the place is well appointed. Food was delicious. Wine bars typically have a smaller menu, but this one really does have something for everyone.

Portello is a super cute spot. Just an ok wine list. Food leaves a bit to be desired. The servers are sweet but the service is terrible. Literally had to flag them down for EVERYTHING (water, ordering both food and drinks, refills on drinks and water, needing utensils, etc) and we were one of four tables in there. I’ll go back if friends want to meet there but I won’t seek the place out myself

Walking in the atmosphere was fun and inviting. Low lit and welcoming with couches and tables scattered about. Service was adequate but generally lacked cadence and consistently left with empty glasses. There was also a general lack of wine knowledge and no bottle list available. Food was good, but was clearly from Costco with no attention to detail or flair. Wine selection was small and had no real variety for flavor. Overall the selection of food and wine pairings were amateurish with the oldest bottles of red wine being from 2018 to go with Costco appetizers. Location is very desirable. Parking was available both on and off street. Prices didn't match quality. Hopefully they can improve with better products and increased sophistication.

Enjoyed the small plates and wine here with friendly staff. The only issue was the insane mark-up on the bottles of Cava ($54) and Prosecco ($46). We were given a different Cava than was listed on the menu (the $10 retail bottle) and charged the menu price of $54 and told the price remained the same when i asked. These were $10-$12 bottles retail that I have personally purchased on my own and the restaurant price was ridiculous. So beware of bottle mark-ups and potential bottle switching when you order. Other wines offered seemed to be more on par with expected restaurant prices.

Happy Birthday tomorrow my oldest and dearest friend Bryan Neil Smith. The owner of this great establishment. I hope to get back to my Native Oregon one day to see you buddy. Love Gav

Lovely, homey, comfortable, unpretentious. We enjoyed the low-key vibe and the servers' knowledge about pairings with each of our meals, as well as a single bottle that would work for everyone to enjoy together. I adore cheese plates and order them often. This is the first time I've had one plated this way, and I'm changed forever! Why every establishment doesn't present the cheeses this way, I don't know! 👍🏻

I am continually amazed by The Good Drop's outstanding service and remarkable selection of wines and champagnes from across the globe. This charming wine bar in Bend has become my top choice. The warm atmosphere and Sarah's hospitality as the proprietor ensure that every visit is a delightful experience. If you're looking for a memorable wine experience, this is the place to be!

This is an amazing wine store in downtown Bend. The owner is fantastic to deal with. She has a nice selection of wines and is very knowledgeable. If you're looking for a great shopping experience and a special bottle of wine, I couldn't recommend this establishment highly enough!

My son and daughter-in-law had told me about this shop and owner Sarah many times. While I was visiting for the holidays we stopped in to share a bottle of wine. Sarah was a sweetheart. The shop and staff were terrific. We stopped by a second time before I left town. Five stars every day of the week. If you enjoy wine and want to learn a little more to make the right choice this is the place you need to visit.

This wine shop is a true gem! The selection is top-notch, with everything from Italian classics to standout Oregon bottles. The owner is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, making every visit a great experience. It’s dog friendly, relaxed, and welcoming—yet still feels elevated and thoughtfully curated. Highly recommend!

Update 12/2021. Still cool and I'm glad they were able to survive COVID. They added some fun outdoor seating. Wine is good. Service is great. So nice to have a wine place in CO! I really liked this place. A (much needed) cool wine shop in Central Oregon. Simple, yet elegant atmosphere that resembles a nice tasting room on a vineyard. Many different regional varietals with knowledgeable staff. Great location to pickup a bottle before dinner. Several price points that can fit any budget.

This was a perfect little spot to grab a gladden of wine before dinner at Bos Taurus. Owner was friendly and knowledgeable. Wine selection and by the glass pours were very nice. We sat outside and enjoyed the entire experience. Will definitely return!

Excellent service for my recent online order. Great selection and the smartest most efficient packaging I've seen for wine shipments. Included a thoughtful handwritten note as well. I keep an eye on their sake collection as I'll certainly order from them again. Highly recommended!

Stopped in for a glass of wine and dessert. Beautiful atmosphere. We sat in the big chairs by the fire. Our sommelier was very knowledgeable and helpful in selecting a good pairing. We were also given a tour of the downstairs rooms. These would be useful in hosting an upscale family gathering or meeting of professionals.

Beautiful atmosphere and lovely food. Our wine specialist Linna was incredible with her hospitality and knowledge of wine culture. Thanks to her, we were introduced to our new favorite wine, Santenay Premier Gru Gravieres.

Upscale wine bar with upscale prices. Hilariously, my wife and I stopped in briefly for a drink, and neither of us ordered any wine - just a cocktail apiece. And while both of them were fantastic (a Barrel Aged Old Fashioned and a Wyld Thymes), $40 for two drinks w/tip included is pretty steep, even for Bend. No points lost for quality or service, only for pricing. We sat on the outside patio, as we had the kids and our dog with us, but the interior is snazzy without being overly pretentious; definitely catering to the rich white crowds you'll find swarming and/or staggering around downtown, depending on the time of day. Definitely has an elitist vibe about it, (both the establishment, and the conduct of its patrons), which probably helps the regulars feel better about the amount of money they're spending for what they're getting.

Exceptional experience- especially this beautiful location in downtown, Bend. I Love the underground party room for special occasions- a truly unique space. Food is top notch and wine is even better.

Anytime you get to drink Domaine Serene Wine at winery prices AND eat great food AND have great venue?! You're in for a treat. Their wines are some the best in the world (literally... Look it up). Their wine selection is limited to their wines, but offers a variety from both Oregon and Burgundy and will surely have something for anyone's taste. The oysters are wonderful for being so far from coast. I have had the Oxtail Pappardelle twice and don't even want to try anything else. And oh, the popcorn chicken? It's my son's favorite fried chicken... Anywhere! Anyway, I recommend this place but do make a reservation. It's hopping!

We picked the Domaine Serene because of the curb appeal. We were paired with our server Troy who was so informative about the menu and had great recommendations for food and wine. Eveything he suggested we went with and it was all top notch. We can’t wait to come back!

After reading some of the less-than-flattering reviews here, I decided to see for myself. The Domaine Serene Wine Lounge is a very nice establishment. Not overpriced at all for what you get. The food is very good, the wine selections are also quite good, even if they are from only one producer. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. I had.a great time at the bar, good conversations, and I will be back.

The focaccia is divine. It was fluffy on the inside, crisp on the outside with a gorgeous presentation; possibly the best we've ever tasted. The service was attentive and friendly without being disruptive. We were surprised and delighted with the seafood special and highly recommend the halibut. The flat iron steak and meatballs were fine, but nothing noteworthy or anything we'd order again. Their accompaniments- the pommes frites and tomato gravy - were both amazing, well balanced and hitting all the right flavor notes. Overall, one of our favorite dining experiences in Bend and we'll definitely be back to see what dishes match up in quality to the halibut and focaccia! I'm recovering from surgery - so no alcohol and both the Linda and Super Tuscan Sodas were fabulous treats!

Delightful food, service, and atmosphere. Cocktails were unique and expertly crafted. Wine list is extensive with a great range. Dinner was out of this world. Service felt luxurious but not intrusive. Will definitely return.

A day later and I’m still thinking about the food. We did not have dinner reservations, but with a little wait we’re able to get a seat at the bar. We had a couple of non-alcoholic cocktails and the taste was good and the value was just okay. Still think over 8 for a drink without alcohol is too much. The food was amazing though. We had the calamari and snails to start. Calamari was amazing. Really good!!! Highly recommend. Snails were good too just a bit too much red sauce that hid the flavor. Also had the pork ribs, and flat iron steak. Pork ribs were out of this world. So well seasoned and cooked. It came with some broccolini that was undercooked but man was it good. Flat iron steak was ordered Medium for my husband, but came out Medium Rare, which is my preference so we didn’t say anything. The sauce on the side— crazy good. The truffle fries— wow! Worth it!! We also had a side of mushrooms which were good. For dessert we had the panna cotta dessert and I would also highly recommend this— just amazing! I found the host to be great, and the people delivering the food as well. The bar tenders were good. The whole placed seemed very well staffed and tho they genuinely liked each other. Having a well staffed front and back of house comes across! I hope the second time we go it’s just as good!!

Amazing dining experience, the kind that leaves you with a smile the rest of the evening. We were visiting Bend with our adult children all who love food. We started with cocktails and they have a great list of options and a nicely curated wine list. The crab appetizer was expensive but so fresh and full of flavor, we would surely order again. Do. It miss the Tricolore Salad also spectacular. The spaghettini with local wild mushrooms was my favorite entree full of umami, texture and amazing flavors. All the pastas are homemade in house and delicious and you can’t go wrong. The 8oz steak with pomme frites was cooked perfectly and full of flavor as well. We finished with Tiramisu and Date Cake for dessert and while good was not up to par with the amazing dishes we for our meal.

Truly a delight in Bend! Delicious food prepared with seasonal ingredients and great cocktails. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio with a group of six (no reservation, but they accommodated us on a Saturday). It’s definitely a “small plates/shareable” place, but what it lacks in volume more than makes up for in quality and flavor. Expect to spend a decent amount here if you want to walk away satiated. Highly recommend the focaccia, burrata, and pastas—the rigatoni hit the spot!

Absolutely outstanding service and delicious food. Advise the snails as they were a special treat. The foccacia with whipped butter was by far the best bread I have ever had.

We took family here for our first visit and I was so impressed with the food and the service!! I’m often disappointed in Bend, but BOSA knows what they are doing. The table timing, the crumb clearing, the way the servers properly drop food to the correct seats and with the correct arm. Every single employee acknowledged us, not just the host and server. It was a refreshing experience for this former server/bartender :) My only complaint is the patio. There is tons of traffic at that intersection and I watched several near misses (not BOSA’s fault). It was a bit over-stimulating so I wouldn’t reserve a table out there in the future. But it would not deter me from returning, in fact I can’t stop thinking about our meal and I think we will be back as soon as possible!! THANK YOU BOSA

Beautifully designed wine bar in the Box Car building. Try a flight or a cocktail along with a nosh of their well composed menu that offers generous pours and portions. Quiet, trendy, friendly staff with good vibes all around. A must visit and sip.

I enjoyed the white wines but my palette didn’t favor the reds. We stopped in and I tried a flight. The food looked good but we had just had lunch. My experience was so so.

Wonderful setting, nice music, great wine and food! Our servers Lexi and Jim did a fantastic job of keeping wines coming! When you’re in the Portland area, give Stoller a try!!

Always great wine and service. The bites they have are good too. Can’t go wrong with a visit to Stoller in Bend!

I absolutely love this place! Best staff, great food, they care about their clients, fun place for music on Thursdays, amazing staff, good wine. I highly recommend!

Tried to get wine here with a sandwich from next door and sit on the patio. They wouldn't allow other food, on the patio! So we left and didn't order wine. I won't go to or support that type of inhospitality.

Several friends and online reviews tipped us off to enjoy a wine tasting at the Stoller Vineyards. The reviews and friends couldn’t have been more right! Make reservations to ensure you have a spot. It was a slow morning at the tasting room so we had our own personal guide through the tasting experience. The service was phenomenal. Bre, our server, was informative and we enjoyed interacting with her learning about the wines. The nice thing we learned was their affordable tasting at just $20 was a bargain! However, they wanted to make our experience exceptional so they gave us a taste of their reserve wine. The nancy pinot was delightful! What made the experience better was the exceptional turkey sandwich with a basil aioli. Stoller has thought through every detail of their experience and I’m sure you will enjoy your time there too!

Really nice, personable and welcoming tasting room. We did a few tastings along with a glass or two. Quite excellent Pinots. The ‘22 Dundee Hills is particularly good. The Walla Walla Cabernet Sauvignon is also a winner. Do yourself a favor and stop by Ermisch Cellars in Bend. Very recommended.

I recently visited Elixir Wine Group after hearing about their 96 point pinot noir, which was made locally in Bend, and had an amazing experience. Not only was the wine delicious, but there was also an impressive variety of both local wines and international wines. The tasting room was nice and cozy especially during these colder months. I highly recommend visiting Elixir if you’re in the area and I look forward to my next visit!

Paul at Elixir Wine Group is amazing! Super friendly, personable and knowledgeable about the wines they carry. Definitely try the Ermisch Cellars wine flight. I also love that they carry a local Bend wine producer Lava Terrace Cellars that you just have to taste as well. Elixir is a great venue for a group or social meetup. I have been there two time with my Rotary Group and our members had a great evening trying some delicious wines!

Absolutely amazing! 🍷 Every wine we tried was delicious — especially the Or region and the Reserva. The tapas and bocadillos took us straight back to our years in Spain. The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming. A must-visit in Bend — we’ll be back every time!

Absolutely the best wine destination in Central Oregon! Kirk and his incredible selections are a treasure and I love supporting his business. Thanks!

I was visiting Bend from Hawaii and stumbled on Elixir Wine Group, what a surprise! It’s part winery, part international wine importer, and totally different from anything I’ve seen. I did a flight that mixed their Oregon Pinot with wines from Argentina and Europe. The host was super knowledgeable, but chill and the place had a really local, welcoming feel. Wish I had something like this back home. Definitely worth stopping in if you're in Bend and love wine.

Mark was a great host. He was very flexible with our taste.

We had a great experience at The Bend Wine Bar. The wine was excellent and the charcuterie was delicious. We were excited that they have a Vegan charcuterie board option which made it easier to accommodate everyone in our group! It was also delicious! It was nice chill ambiance and the staff was very friendly.

We were looking for a nice spot to wind down in the afternoon, and this was definitely the best option! I can never get charcuterie boards as cheese makes me sick, so I was very excited to try the Vegan option Bend Wine Bar provides. IT. WAS. AMAZING! Every single item on the board paired perfectly together, and I will be returning just for this board alone--as well as the tasty wine! :)

I had a GREAT time at the Bend Wine Bar! Order their vegan charcuterie board and was blown away by the fact that 1. They had a plant-based/ dairy free option on the menu and 2. How delicious it was! I would definitely recommend for your next happy hour/ night out!

Staff is fun and helpful. Lots of flight option and a great selection by the bottle or glass. Atmosphere is very inviting.

My book-ish group of 8 awesome women met at the Bend Wine Bar and had a blast! The wine was delicious, the cheese board had the most incredible almonds and the ambiance of the place was so warm and inviting...we shut the place down we were so comfortable! The staff was really accommodating and friendly too!

Encourage you to check out this place! It was a lovely space to meet up with friends, imbibe and nosh perfectly balanced small plates. The atmosphere worked well for our small group to drink wine, chat and move around a bit, too. We sampled a variety of wines that were all wonderful. The 2020 Blanc de Noir Oregon Sparkling will be on our table for the holidays this year. A positive experience with knowledgeable staff...recommend this little gem highly.

This is such a great space to enjoy wine, snacks + great conversation with friends. The staff was very kind and knowledgeable about all the amazing wines available. I'll definitely be back!

Came here for a date night. We ordered oysters, sardines, and the smoked trout roe. We paired our meal with white wine and vermouth. The food was light, flavorful, refreshing and fun. Drinks were delicious. It was really an enjoyable experience, making Hasta que Olvidemos one of our new favorite restaurants in Bend.

The best new addition to Galveston! Love their wine and snacks… and overall vibe! So nice to have a new wine bar in town that has a fun and casual vibe.

The concoctions on the wine menu are the best twists on traditional spritzers you’ll ever have. Bright, briney oysters and the anchovy butter complete the perfect summer afternoon!

Service was outstanding, oysters were very tasty and the drinks were wonderful. The Pink Vermouth drink was excellent. Highly recommended!

Best spot in Bend! Atmosphere and Vermouth Spritzes are 10/10. Always love the shared plates. Have yet to skip on a visit when family or friends are in town. Don't miss!

A lovely spot to have a glass of vermouth and some delicious nibbles on a summer evening. We were delighted by the burrata with pickled rhubarb, and the smoked tuna dip (citrusy, spicy, smokey, and perfect on a Ritz cracker)

First visit- presently surprised Oysters were delicious and service was excellent. Wood seating was not comfortable.
