Bend Brewing Company

Really well laid out brewpub with a pleasant atmosphere and nice staff. Pizza was not as described, looked like it came out of a box. Other meals looked pretty decent although a tad costly for sammies. Great selection of regular taps and 3 seasonals, all combined to make a great value on the sampler platter. I would give this place the nod over Deschutes based on a better brew selection and friendlier staff. Fun place.

Went there on New Years Day 2008 with Bikesandbeer. This was a cool little brewpub, the beer is decent not stellar but worth going to. The food was quite good and the prices on the food was excellent in relation to quality and portion size.

Somewhat limited selection when I was there. Service was fine, food was quite good. A great location on the Mirror Pond

Smaller brewpub with a nice seating area and patio. Basic pub menu with nine house ales on tap. Sampler was only $8 for nine beers. Service was ample and the food, although basic, was the best of the brewpubs in town.

Nice place to go. Good ambience... a step above a bar, but not exactly fine dining either. Menu was limited, but they made amazing use of what was there. The nachos were very impressive.. and I’m not a nacho person. You still aren’t gonna find anything more interesting than fish or steak. Beer selection was good... I was surprised to see an Old Ale as a regular selection. Nothing crazy, but I had 7 total here. Service was very fast.

I adore this place. I always get great service when I come here, great staff and great food. Their house beers leave a little to be desired but when they make seasonals they are always awesome!

Great food. Great little place. Great taster platter for the beer/price. My husband and I actually each got one the first time we where there and the second time we just shared on. I would advise anyone out this way to go here. We go whenever we can get that far away from home.

A small "hole in the wall" is right. I parked half a block away and I walked right by it twice. Nice, cozy, interior with lots of rustic wod but not run-down. Late night menu was all that was avalibel when I went and even though it was 3 min till closing, tatsed fine. The wait staff was friendly and helpfull with our large party ording mainly samplers and snacks. A few TVs but not anoying. Nice place.

A small hole in the wall offset from the main drag. Go through an alley to get to the front door. Very nice interior decor, fairly standard. Decent amount of taps available and a full sided sampler tray. The ceiling was painted a very dark color that adds a weird ambiance to the place. Just a pint & tv kinda place. They had the Hop Head in bottles too.

A small brewery with a small dining area but it overlooks Mirror Pond with some huge glass windows providing a nice view. Raised bar area and a couple of TVs on one side of the space with dining tables on the other. Bartender was nice, in fact I rarely find a rude or unprofessional bartender at a brewery. The beer was pretty darn good, sampled a stout, hefeweizen and an IPA. Ate from the happy hour menu, which was pretty decent. Worth visiting.
