18 Killer Breweries and Brewpubs in Bend, Oregon

From tiny tasting rooms to massive restaurants

View as Map
Bend Brewing Company’s outdoor pub.

While Bend’s status as an outdoor sports destination is known throughout Oregon, its identity as a beer haven only continues to draw crowds from across the country. New breweries seem to pop up every month, trying to stand out in what is an already crowded field. These days breweries are focused on current brewing trends, inventive pub fare, and quality atmosphere — beer pretzels, fire pits, and retractable garage doors. It’s not all about the hoppy IPAs anymore either; every one of these breweries offers distinct and varied lineups of sours, bruts, and hazy ales, just to name a few.

Below, find our guide to Bend’s finest brewpubs, breweries, and beer bars, from Summit West to Bellevue Drive. Those seeking more dining options may want to check out Eater PDX’s Bend’s dining map.

Cascade Lakes Brewpub

Copy Link

The Cascade Lakes Brewpub has gone non-profit. Proceeds from beer sales are now distributed to a variety of local non-profits. The brewery, founded in nearby Redmond in 1994, offers year-round beers, including Blonde Bombshell, Hazy IPA Lotus Pils, Salted Carmel Porter, and a few rotating specialties. Last year the brewery won an award for its “This” IPA. The menu changes for winter and summer, offering cajun mussels and clams, and shrimp and grits in the summer. A few Asian fusion dishes have also been added, including a bao bun stuffed with miso-glazed pork belly. It’s a favorite stop for those coming down from Mount Bachelor; a gondola sits out front to invite skiers and others in. By summer 2023, Cascade Lakes Brewpub will open a location on Bend’s eastside at 27th and Reed Market to accommodate new neighborhood development.

GoodLife Brewery and Bierhall Tasting Room

Copy Link

Tucked inside the Century Center on Bend’s Westside sits GoodLife’s expansive brewing and distilling facility. Its tasting room is airy and inviting, with garage doors opening onto a courtyard. Its house-smoked brisket grilled cheese sandwiches are swoon-worthy with tender meat, and tangy barbecue sauce playing against the sharp cheese on Texas toast. It begs for one of GoodLife’s approachable beers like the popular “Sweet As” IPA. The Biergarten that often hosts concerts and young families has been moved to the other side of the building with an expansive lawn and picnic tables, a food truck, and a beer truck so diners can order without walking around to the tasting room. The Lucky’s Woodsman truck is also available for gourmet-style burgers and camping entree kits to take away on an outdoor adventure.

Boss Rambler Beer Club

Copy Link

The embodiment of Bend’s fun-loving outdoor lifestyle, the front patio of the Boss Rambler Beer Club is typically overflowing onto the sidewalk with laughing beer lovers who have stopped there after a day skiing or dirt-biking near Mt. Bachelor. Boss Rambler’s tropical-noted IPAs land in pints alongside mellow summer lagers, fruited beers, and boozy slushies. This summer, Blue Eyes Burger is parked next to the building, bringing its classic, just-plain-good smash burgers, and fries. Other food choices are available at the Lot food carts located a block off Galveston.

Sunriver Brewing Co. Galveston Pub

Copy Link

Sunriver Brewing Company opened its doors in Bend in early 2016 on what has become a busy stretch of Northwest Galveston Avenue. Since then, its award-winning beers have been a draw to this lively pub. The Rippin, a Northwest pale ale, is an excellent match for a giant beer pretzel with beer cheese and beer mustard. Other elevated pub fare on the menu include the wagyu sliders, a truffle club sandwich, and the popular General Tso fried cauliflower in a sweet garlic-ginger sauce. Sunriver offers year-round outdoor dining in a covered bridge replica or around the shaded outdoor fire pits on the recently extended back patio. Sunriver Brewing also has an eastside, more community-oriented location, with an indoor play area for kids and ample outdoor seating.

The Brasserie at Monkless Belgian Ales

Copy Link

The Brasserie at Monkless Belgian Ales offers stunning views of Bend’s Old Mill and the Deschutes River from its heated deck, while some visitors enjoy Belgian-style ales at the monastery-like bar inside. The move here is to opt for Monkless specialty beers like the small-batch Dark Habits: This Belgian dark strong is aged for four months in pinot noir barrels, with added cherries that provide a subtle fruity bite. Bring a group of friends or meet new ones at Bend-sourced wood slab Ponderosa pine tables, while enjoying a pot of steamed mussels, a pork schnitzel plate, farro risotto, and more.

Immersion Brewing

Copy Link

Approaching the patio of Immersion Brewing in the rustic Box Factory near the Old Mill District, it’s evident from the welcoming ambiance that this is a family-owned brewpub. A windowed garage door extends the high-ceiling indoor dining room to join a lively outdoor patio. Voted Oregon’s 2020 Small Craft Brewery of the Year at the Oregon Beer Awards, Immersion offers fun IPAs like the Hazy E, a pineapple-forward Northeast IPA, as well as sours and stouts. The excellent beer goes well with Immersion’s family kitchen, which serves made-to-order basic pub food like blackened steelhead BLTs.

Bend Brewing Company

Copy Link

Bend Brewing Company was established in 1995, making it the second-oldest brewery in Bend. BBC (as locals call it) finished an indoor upgrade and patio seating with heated benches in the winter. Summer brings families and dogs to the sizeable lawn and outdoor pub overlooking Mirror Pond, a bustling community space. Popping by BBC is a lovely way to spend the day and enjoy Bend’s best crunchy and fresh fish and chips and dripping burgers which pair with BBC’s brews like the Tropic Pine juicy IPA, an award-winning porter, German sour ale, and others.

The Cellar - A Porter Brewing Company

Copy Link

Visitors who walk down the stairs to the Cellar from the downtown sidewalk are transported to a traditional English pub. The small space includes a bar, a few tables, a small library, and a classic “snug” — a room found in most English and Irish public houses where one can drink with a bit of privacy. The English pub vibes extend to Porter Brewing’s cask-conditioned ales, served by hand-pumping imported beer engines rather than taps. A charcuterie board, sausage bites, and pretzels are available along with Vi’s scratch-made pies, including Scottish Meat Pie and Chicken Pot Pie.

Deschutes Brewery Bend Public House

Copy Link

For more than 30 years, this lively, rustic downtown staple has helped define the craft beer scene in Bend and America. Its vast array of experimental and seasonal brews is the real draw here, and they are well-paired with classic pub dishes, like poutine and pizza. Deschutes is the go-to place for thick, juicy Central Oregon beef burgers. Eat and drink in the large dining room at an intimate fireside table, or in the covered and heated outdoor space. The upstairs has recently been converted to a game room with darts, vintage video games, and shuffleboard.

Crux Fermentation Project

Copy Link

At the end of a back street near the Old Mill district, the Crux Fermentation Project is housed in an old transmission repair plant. Visitors can grab a pint and some pub grub inside the glowing copper taproom or hang out on the park-like lawn with yard games for adults and kids and fire pits. Food trucks include El Sancho tacos, the Tin Pig known for its well-seasoned fried chicken that’s worth a special trip, a pizza cart, and the Shaka shave ice truck. The Crux kitchen menu will be changing as soon as its new Portland Pub is established. During the daily “Sundowner hour,” breathtaking views of the Cascade Mountains come with discounts on 20-plus taps.

Silver Moon Brewing

Copy Link

Bend’s third-oldest brewery built a beautiful wooden patio, which evolved into a large complex with a stage, outdoor bar service, and a food truck pod called “the Office.” The food trucks here don’t serve the typical Pacific Northwestern standbys. There’s Blind Tiger pizza that ages its dough 60 hours before making the wood-fired pizza in a forno bravo pizza oven on the cart, “The Bob” kebab truck, Southern Accent with a choice of meats on po’boys and in fry baskets, including Gator, and Tablas Mexican food. All these are best paired with Silver Moon’s barrel-aged selections, year-round cans, or rotating Lunar series beers. Concerts are held indoors in the winter. The bar opens for music in the winter but moves outdoors, and the indoor lounge and game room, the Green Room, is open.

Boneyard Beer Pub

Copy Link

Boneyard has long been a favorite Bend brewery with hoppy ales like RPM, and a few sour and hazy beers. The clean, modern lines of the pub’s indoor/outdoor space juxtapose a motorcycle bar atmosphere complete with a dark bar lounge with high-backed vinyl booths. Boneyard offers five types of wings and fresh salads, but the piece de resistance is the Royale with Cheese. Pulp Fiction fans might recognize the reference where this cheese-in-the-middle burger got its name.

Bevel Craft Brewing

Copy Link

Bevel Brewing is in the midtown industrial area tucked behind the DIY Cave, where visitors learn how to weld and woodwork. The tasting room and patio share the space with the 9th Street food pod, which includes house-made pickles at Nosh Street Food; or Mexican fare at Tacos El Nava; the Slider Company offers sandwiches and a breakfast poutine special; Bleu Rooster’s global-inspired family cuisine, including pomme-frites with garlic and mushroom dust and truffle aioli with subtle flavors that beg for a beer to go with it. The tasting room offers flights, pints, a wide range of ales, and a few off-kilter options like barleywines. Bevel places small tasting glasses in holes of a decorated frisbee for those who want to compare the IPAs before filling a growler to take home.

Spider City Brewing Company

Copy Link

Spider City Brewing Company is the only women-owned-and-operated brewery in Bend, located in a 3,000-square-foot building in an industrial area just east of the railroad tracks. Bins of wheat and hops sit on shelves beside the beer taps, pouring experimental ales and fruit-forward kettle sours. There are plenty of long tables indoors and out. Two food trucks offer grub to go with the beer. One is the Wagyu Burger joint, the only place serving pure Wagyu beef from the local 2Sisters Ranch, and IndoDaddy with an Indonesian fusion menu including Lumpia, Banh Mi Sliders, Nasi Goreng, and peanutty chicken or tofu sate. 

10 Barrel Brewing East Side Bend

Copy Link

Located in an industrial area on Bend’s Northeast side, 10 Barrel’s vibrant brewpub fits right in with stainless steel rafters, an open kitchen, and a fire-pit-laden outdoor patio. Likely one of Oregon’s most recognizable breweries, the Northeast Bend brewpub pours fan favorites like its Crush series sours, as well as seasonal beers and tasting flights. The kitchen churns out pizzas and black-garlic-rubbed steak frites, plus more inventive fare like tempura-fried broccoli in a Korean barbecue glaze and jalapeno popper mac and cheese.

Worthy Brewery and Pub

The Worthy Brewery and Pub, located on Bend’s eastside, is hard to miss with its large outdoor area, airy brewpub, and a three-story giant “Hopservatory”— a reflective telescope with a retractable roof. Inside, diners find well-crafted IPAs and creative one-off seasonal ales. Along with basic pub fare, creative entrees include Korean-marinated steak tacos and wood-fired pizzas topped with Oregon pears or white beer cheese sauce. Thursday through Sunday, on clear nights, patrons can ascend the spiral staircase and stargaze with a beer in hand.

Craft Kitchen & Brewery

Copy Link

Craft Kitchen moved its tasting room and restaurant from the Old Mill to its brewery location, hidden in the backstreets of northeast Bend. Although the kitchen is now in a food truck, it’s maintained the Craft touch with barbecue and Southern cuisine like Po’ Boys, Sandos, a Cubano. It’s hard to choose between the southern fried chicken, gluten-free spicy sweet honey jalapeno cornbread, the fruitwood smoked brisket, or the fresh sweet potato tacos with lavender salt. It all pairs well with Craft Kitchen’s beers like the Juice is Loose Hazy IPA. For fun, Saturday night is comedy night, where Craft brings in national and local talent. Or, come Wednesday for open mic night.

Bridge 99 Brewery

Copy Link

Bridge 99 may be tucked away near the industrial northside of Bend, but it’s carved out a charming indoor/outdoor brewpub. Flowers and a fountain adorn the outside of the natural wood counter, and a custom-carved steel fireguard brings style indoors. The embracing ambiance is only topped by a creative, fresh menu that includes a spicy, sweet, savory bacon mango, habanero cauliflower, and sprouts and pizzettas (small pizzas). Many beers have been clarified to be 99% gluten-free. Rock Crusher Red is their flagship beer, but they make killer hard seltzers, including Huckleberry Lime and Peach Lemonade flavors.
