I was unprepared then for their gigantic and amazing main brewery. The industrial building is mostly hidden my verdant gardens and local art outside. It's so happy and welcoming. Inside you can immediately see the tanks at the back, with a large bar to the left. Merchandise shop is at the front, with tables all around. The bartender was so friendly and welcoming. I talked to some brewers after their shift and they were just as friendly, albeit tired and ready to relax. Their beers are excellent, and I only wished I could've physically enjoyed more! I highly recommend a visit!

Taking over a whole corner block, the shed offers indoor/outdoor seating with an antique flare, rustic yet funky. Huge wrap around bar and little random nook seating.

I got the funky cold Modena which was tart and tasty. And we got to see Miz Cracker from RuPaul's Drag Race!! So fun! The drag show was high energy and a great time.

I've been back multiple times since, and every visit has been consistently great. The owner is friendly, genuine, and always a pleasure to chat with. If it's your first visit, do yourself a favor and order the steak sandwich with grilled onions and cheese. You won't regret it. Don't hesitate to give this place a try. There are plenty of great options on the menu, and everything is made personally by the owner. That level of care really shows.

We think that everything you order off their menu is gonna be good and we love how big the leaf are on the Caesar salad.the surface is always so friendly. and the ambience is just great what they've been able to do with this historic building in Bend although some of the other reviews say that the service is rather lacking and it is overpriced. I disagree. I think that their food is priced rather fairly for how good it is. I would definitely recommend and it doesn't seem like too much of a tourist packed spot yet. It is 100% worth a 30 minute wait.

We decided to come here for lunch thanks to a big menu. On arrival it wasn't too busy, and we had fun choosing where we wanted to be.

We had a bunch of appetizer selections that we all shared, loved the street corn dip. It's a nice option to have lunch and enjoy some beers in the area.

Between the exceptionally good food at Hook and Plow, a most pleasant hotel experience, and a memorable trip to the High Desert Museum; our trip to Bend turned out to be a pleasure instead of the miserableness I expected. We had the Steak Tartare, the Chef's Board, the Blackend Crabcake, the Pear and Burrata Salad, and the Bone-in Pork Chop. We each got the cheesecake for desert and split the other dishes. This was more than enough for the three of us and we left full, happy, and with three large to-go boxes. The flavors of the various dishes were amazing. While all the dishes were vvery good, the standouts to me were the steak Tartare, the Pear and Burrata Salad, and the Cheesecake.

Bend, OR has its share of delicious fine dining restaurants and The Hook & Plow is no exception…read more While the food is on the high end side, the vibes were definitely more casual. We were greeted by the host and seated quickly. We started our meal with a delicious non-alcoholic drink and the Chef's Board: a charcuterie with an assortment of cured meats, rustic bread, and various spreads. That came out pretty quickly. Unfortunately, our main courses came out much, much later and lukewarm. Luckily, the food was good enough that it made up for the temperature. I had the NY strip steak. The steak and the Boursin mashed potatoes alone were very good. The pickled onions and chimichurri complemented the meat very well. The meal was supposed to include brussel sprouts but came with a grilled broccoli cauliflower assortment instead. My wife had the Scallop Risotto which was also a great recommendation from the server. In reality, The Hook & Plow deserved 3 1/2 stars but that's not an option on Yelp. It may have been an off night for the staff, so I will give them the benefit of doubt. We would be open to trying it again sometime in the future.
