I've been to a fair number of beer festivals around the country. My experience is that the really…read morepopular ones are total zoos - wall-to-wall crowds, long lines for beer, inadequate facilities. Not the Bend Brewfest. Arriving on Saturday, we found a good-sized but manageable crowd, virtually no lines for beer, easy entrance and plenty of port-a-potties. Awesome. More brands of beer than you can shake a stick at, with lots of types. If you like beer and didn't find at least several good beers here, well, you don't like beer. One negative: the festival puts out a hugely comprehensive guide book (not booklet) listing the beers, activities, logistical details, etc. But what it didn't have - and it's something that's properly become standard for those selling craft beer across the country - were the ABVs for the beers. I don't like drinking high alcohol beer, so I pay attention to the ABV. At the brewfest, that required checking out the beer detail sheet laid out on the tables at the various vendors before deciding on whether to try it. All the vendors supplied the ABV, so it should have been listed in the guide book. Other than that, no complaints. Great festival!

We have been members at Evoke since it was Naked and first opened in Bend. We have been in Vegas…read morethe past 10 years so I was so happy to be able to finally stop by their tasting room in The Old Mill and use some of our membership perks like a free tasting. We got there right as they opened on Saturday and were greeted by Hannah who was absolutely amazing. I had a white flight and my husband had the red. We had our two littles with us and ordered them a cheese plate and Capri suns. Our kids thought this was the coolest. We also had a dog with us so we sat outside - Hannah was so on top of our drinks and describing all of the new wines. I also ordered a frose because why not? It was amazing. We ended up walking away with three bottles as well. Love Evoke and hope to make it back here more often - but until we do we will enjoy the wines being delivered!

It's a pleasure just to be in the building. But you're there to see an event, right?

The Tower exemplifies the notion of 'Bend friendly.'

I Love this venue! My favorite in town by far!…read more Always something cool happening!

I wasn't planning to write a review, but after what I witnessed, I felt it was necessary. I came…read morehere with a group of friends after the Jimmy Eat World concert. While we were standing outside the bar, we watched a tattooed bouncer being incredibly rough with a man who was being kicked out. I don't condone whatever the man did that led to him being removed, and if he was causing problems, he absolutely should have been escorted out. But the guy was clearly intoxicated, and the amount of force being used seemed completely unnecessary. People around us were yelling that he couldn't breathe, and whether that was true or not, the whole situation was disturbing to watch. It honestly felt like we were watching someone get beaten up. I understand security has a difficult job, but this didn't seem professional. It completely ruined the night for all of us, and none of us feel comfortable coming back after what we saw. There are plenty of bars in Bend where you can have a good time without witnessing something like this, and we'd rather spend our money at those places instead. Go to Astros instead!

Between the attitude of the employees and the way issues were handled, there is zero desire to ever purchase tickets for an event at this venue again. Love Carolla, but prefered Las Vegas Venue. Would not recommend this experience in Bend, unless another venue. I am resident in Bend. Highly disappointed.

It's dark It's loud It's gritty I had to tour the bathrooms to see if they were as bad as rumored and no- they are not even as bad as The average gas station facilities and are galaxies better than CBGBs or Whiskey a GoGo or any other club bathroom I've endured. Equal opportunity- 2 up in the admittedly junky bar, & 2 downstairs for the youngsters. Not enough- I agree. The sound was not great- but the tickets were reasonable- not scammers, this is a music club run by people who do Bend the service of having live music- I appreciate you!
