This place is definitely a bar, not a restaurant--just a heads up if that matters to you. I stopped in specifically for the broasted chicken, which was quite good! Brian was both my bartender and the cook for my chicken, and he did a great job on both fronts. The reason I'm giving four stars instead of five is the noticeable odor when you first walk in. The bar mats and floor could really use a deep cleaning to help get rid of that lingering spilt beer smell. Overall, it's your classic bar vibe: a bit dark inside, music playing, and folks chatting and hanging out. I'm not much of a bar person these days, but if you're looking for some tasty broasted chicken and a laid-back atmosphere, it's worth checking out. read more

On 4/30 11pm my friends and I went into this establishment and the bouncer were automatically rude to myself and another friend saying "you already got 2 strikes" mind you we rarely go out in general and it was the first place we went to. I'm not sure if he was having a bad night or what but the disrespect was uncalled for, and let me say this if you're gonna throw someone out because they got a quirky personality then you are most likely a piece of shit in general read more

Maybe the best dive bar in the world. Friendly bartenders, ample TVs for all sports and great food. read more

So glad a local stranger shared this secret gym with us during our last visit to Bend. Great vibe on the weekend evenings, late night. A very eclectic mixed crowd all in good spirits from my perspective. The star of the show of course is the fried chicken and holy God was it amazing! Better than Reel em Inn in Portland, which was my former number one go to read more

Cascade West - Wood log wall - Bars Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Another day in Bend and another bar checked off the list (don't judge). Cascade is an awesome tavern with super bomb Jojos, the old school ones, not those little potato wedges they sell at delis these days. Overall it has a great bar ambiance, good tap list if you're a beer lover, and a great liquor selection with solid pours, not that I'm looking to get trashed as those days are behind me, but it's nice to taste the liquor in your drink or if you order a shot have a decent pour (no need to have someone measuring out the portions to the tee, rely on a hand pour people were pouring drinks here not creating craft cocktails) The food prices are also great for the portion sizes... you can definitely split their chicken meals with 2 people. We've had a couple bartenders there and they were both friendly with solid service too, so it checks all the boxes in a bar that I'm looking for. Stop by here for sure if you're ever out and about. read more

Best chicken in town. Great dive bar with stiff drinks. What more ya want !! Full lottery

This was a fun place to hang with friends, the beer is relatively cheap and it has a true dive bar aesthetic with an outdoor patio in addition. I did try to play big Buck Hunter and it was disappointing that the machine did not work well. If you want to play some slots they also have those there. read more

I was in town for the week and a local friend recommended this place for our big group to grab a beer and some food. It's definitely a dive bar, and it smells like pee. If you can get past that- they have a good beer selection and friendly service. I was a little disappointed that they were already on the "late night" menu at 6:30pm on a Thursday because there wasn't a lot to choose from that wasn't fried. The bartender recommended the 4 piece fried chicken and jojos and it was very good and affordable! I just wish there were some healthier options on the late night menu. Overall I liked the laid back divey vibe, but I wish I would have eaten at home before I came. read more

Always friendly staff. Probably considered a dive bar but prices are good, beer is super cold, tons to choose from. And they make really good fried chicken. read more

BEST LUNCH DEAL IN TOWN!!! Unfortunately bend has lost some of their more budget-friendly lunch options, resorting to sandwiches and salads upwards of $20 a pop. Ridiculous!! Not a C-Dub... Delicious, and my girlfriend thought the salad was perfect so everyone wins. read more

Shelly makes great drinks and Wills breakfast was awesome. Definitely coming back for food and drinks.

Used to love this place... now it's always overcrowded and it always smells like barf. I've been here a countless number of times and I usually have a good experience, however when I was there a few nights ago, a blonde female walked by me and sexually assaulted me by grabbing my butt and then staring at me, making eye contact with me and then she kept walking. Five people around me witnessed it and one of them was also sexually assaulted by this blonde female within seconds before I was. I noticed the blonde female was chatting with the bouncer and so I reported her to the bartender and they immediately kicked her out, thankfully. Shortly later, I noticed the blonde female was back in the bar and so I'm wondering if the bouncer was friends with the blonde female. Either way, I did not feel comfortable nor safe in that environment so I left and I don't plan on going back. Really disappointed. read more

Great vibes in this place! Dive with charm. Beers were cold, whiskey was a plenty. Had the grill open late for bar food.. handcut french fries served with ranch/ thousand island (in n out style sauce) and ketchup. Bar tenders were friendly and on it! Enjoyed the spot. Will be back!! read more

I absolutely love this bar!! Was in last night after the snowboard movie premiere at Volcanic. Bar was slammed, but the bartenders were crushing it! Brian might be the most efficient mixologist I've ever seen, and even in the midst of chaos. Highly recommend this fantastic staple of the Bend bar scene!!! read more

Loved it until the heavy set door man called my friend a "bitch". Extremely casual. He's said it a million times. It's 2022. Hire better. Owners- contact me and I'll remove the review until you've replaced him. read more

A low key place with character. They serve a decent honest burger. And they dont grill the hell out if it. Slightly pink inside without asking. Worth it for a quick stop by. Also friendly staff. I'll definitely be back. read more

The single best dive i've ever been to. The bartenders are excellent at what they do, unbelievably fast given how insanely busy it gets. This honestly is the last true example of what Bend used to be, and they do it well. Super local spot but plenty of variety as well. If you're looking for a great time, this is the spot. Compared to the rest of bend, the drinks are absurdly well priced and generous to boot. If you're wanting to have a memorable and genuine night in Bend, this is the spot for you! read more

This is definitely a dive bar but has some decent rustic charm and a fair amount of activities to help keep you and some new or old friends entertained. As with most dive bars the experience depends on who else is hanging out which can be a mixed bag here. The beer selection is decent and they have a decent amount of taps. The food seems to be mostly deep fried frozen type items so keep your expectations realistic and have fun. There is no menu or tap list so you'll have to take a look at the tap handles and at wall board for food. These type of places seem to be rapidly disappearing in the PNW with the rising competition and real estate costs going through the roof so enjoy an old time tavern experience while you still can. read more

Cascade West - a bear on a log - Bars Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Cascade West is a really cool old-style bar and pool joint. - Large bar, plus a smaller inside fire-pit bar and loads of various size tables. This is possibly the grooviest bar in town in terms of ambiance. - Several pool tables, some arcade games, other stuff. - A good number of beers on tap but no beer list! You either need to ask (and get told to look at the tap handles) or just look at the tap handles first. They need a beer list; my eyesight isn't what it used to be. On one visit, I inquired about one of the taps as the handle had only the brewery name on it. The bartender didn't know what kind it was and had to go in the back and check. Turns out is was a 9.5% ABV beer! They need a beer list. It can be a white board; I'm not picky. - No printed menu but there is a white board for that, albeit one partially obscured by a condiment tub. It's located to the left of the bar. The menu is not terribly vegetarian friendly. - Weird parking lot. The left side is lined with spaces angled towards the back but there's no exit in the back. You have to back out and turn around, which is mildly irksome if the lot is packed. It would be good if they could negotiate a deal with whoever owns the lot behind the bank to allow one-way egress into that lot. Overall, I like the joint. And I'm a brewpub kind of guy. read more

GET THE FRIED CHICKEN. It's the best thing about this place. Hot, fresh, crispy, and comes with the best jojos I've ever had. Atmosphere is the same as any bar. They've got multiple pool tables, big game hunter, golden tee, and lottery too. read more

Great dive bar! Fried chicken and jojo are soooo good !!!!All the staff are very nice.

Visited on vacation and had a great time with the arcade games! Great beer options, tasty margaritas and don't skip the jalapeño cheesy tots! read more

Watch out for the bar tenders rounding up their tips on your tab. Place smells like an old motel too.

Smells like pee, but it's my favorite bar in all of Bend, Oregon! Hands down a good time.

This place will let you lose money on their AMI music when they choose to skip your songs for "their vibe". Shut it off!! Don't have people waste money. Horrible. read more

Bartender Shawn was amazing, super busy on a Monday night but he was right on making sure our drinks where full. Made sure to make us feel at home even though he could tell we where not locals. I am a beer drinker so priority is a full beer, watching the mixed drinks being made I can say that the pours are great. I leave the review at 4 stars because of a limited night menu for food, but from what my Lyft told me and Shawn told me this place has an amazing menu during the day. Will be back for sure. read more

Food is really good to excellent, premises are clean and well decorated, staff is friendly and easy to converse with. Lottery machines, pool table, lots of TVs. Patrons know each other. On one of my trips, the House Special was a Prime Rib sandwich. Super good with a horseradish sauce that was killer. The price (including three glasses of Pepsi) was just over $10. read more

Theeeeee Best fried chicken in town. Chick-fil-a doesn't even stand close by. This shit is so tasty and addicting!!!!! I go there only for chicken and their fries. So worth the money!!!! read more

I came here 2/3 nights I was in Bend. On a Thursday it was really busy when we were here around 8:30-10pm. They played country music. Friday around the same time it was much slower and they played 80's music. There are several pool tables. They have food, but I did not try anything since both times I came in after dinner. There is a smoking deck outside. The bathrooms are clean. The interior reminds me of my favorite bar at the coast, lots of wood beams with a rustic vibe. read more

5 breakfasts for $5 - quality food. We were a bit unsure of this place when we got there this beautiful Sunday morning. It was just after 9 and the door was locked. As we sat in the car avoiding the cold trying to find something else on the Yelp App, somebody finally came to open the door at 10 after. Once we got inside the place was empty of course and it stayed empty the entire hour. For starters we had a blood mary at the blood mary buffet style bar. A few different mixes along with all kinds of garnishes. Not the best blood mary in town but it did the trick. Once we sat down there was a menu on the table for breakfast reading "5 for $5 breakfast menu". I ordered the bisuits and gravy while Jen got the 3 pork chops and eggs with home fries. The service was quick and OMG the serving was huge. The biggest $5 breakfast I have ever had. The B&G were 2 open face biscuits with a meaty gravy and home fries on the side. The gravy was quality, much better than most and the potatoes were tasty. The pork chops were good too and the eggs were cooked perfect. Next time we go we will share a plate. Although we ate it all we are both just about in a food coma, comparable to a Thanksgiving feast. The bartender was nice as was the cook who came out and asked how the food was. Why do they always ask while your mouth is full? I don't know if they serve breakfast daily or not but if it is Sunday morning, get over there and get a quality breakfast at a very good price. read more

Wow, this place was packed on Sunday for bingo and Bloody Mary bar! ((Yes, the exclamation point was needed for that statement). Watch out for your seats cuz if your up at the bar ordering it will get taken. Bloody Mary bar had plenty of options. First go to the bar they will give you your glass with house vodka and ice for $5 (upgrade your vodka for an up charge) then head to the BMB and choose from a multitude of Bloody Mary mixes and a plethora of garnish; shrimp, bacon, marinated artichokes, green beans wrapped in salami, and the list goes on and on. They also have pint size mimosas a limited breakfast/brunch menu; burgers to breakfast burrito. Bingo, come prepared with cash and be prepared for some good size pots to be won. What a fun way to spend a Sunday morning, just the right amount of excitement for a lazy Sunday. read more

Came in here on Sunday. Good drinks by Mandy and great fried chicken made by Erin. Will be coming back.

Went there Sunday to enjoy some beers and football with my son. We found good seating with lots of screens. Good selection of beers on tap and really good food! Have had their fried chicken before and love it. Tried the jalapeño cheesy tots and they are great! Almost the texture of good bite-sized arrancini, with good heat and three dipping sauces. Lots of locals made it feel quite homey. read more

First time back in bend in a while. I LOVE THIS BAR! It's nice to see it hasn't changed much over the years. The bartenders are absolutely amazing. Especially the guy with all the tattoos, Might be the best bartender i've ever seen! read more

When you think of "dive bar", this is the exact place you picture. Not typically my scene, but I'm frequently here for the fried chicken and French fries. Plus the wonderful employees of this establishment bring you a variety of sauces in bottles to use until you're content. And I'm not content until I've downed an entire bottle of ranch dressing. read more

Sunday Breakfast!! Awesome! We had the Benedict Scramble and the chef made a really delish hollandaise. He also custom made a teddy bear pancake with bacon lips. We rocked out to Jethro Tull on the juke box in this nostalgic old saloon. This is a kid free zone... 21 and older. Other breakfast items include biscuits and gravy and chicken fried steak, breakfast burrito, and meat n' eggs (ham, sausage, bacon) served with toast and hash browns. Nothing fancy, but hits the spot! read more

This Friday a day bartender served me a drink in a broken glass. Hey I get accidents happen, but this was a seriously cracked, chipped and broken glass that had I not noticed would have been a cut on my mouth. I don't even really know if glass was in my drink. She was rude when I showed it to her. I have been a bartender and a server and the reaction I got from this girl was surprisingly callous. No sorry....or hey are you ok??? read more

Someone sold this to me as THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN. So, naturally, we had to try it out. I enjoyed it - crispy skin and juicy meat and LOTS of pieces. They came out with some large wedges. Was it the best fried chicken? not good enough to make me come back all the way from Los Angeles to have it. But if I am in the area, I will come back. The mini corn dogs were the surprise of the evening. We actually had ordered the pretzels but they were out so we changed it to corndogs. Another thing to come back for is $6 dollar pint of stiff mixed drinks. We definitely don't have those in Southern California. read more
