Cool place to watch sports get a drink and some grub. I really like sitting way in the back in the half circular table near the restrooms. They got a tv right there and you can watch whatever game you want.. I got 5 drinks/beers for $28.00. Not too bad. The bartender gal was very nice and she did a great job. Good place to hang in downtown Bend. This is definitely a good to bar for a stiff drink and Bloody Mary's. The beers are not bad and the food whether it be breakfast, lunch or dinner is really good. read more

We enjoyed a goodbye-breakfast here with our kids. It's one of their favorite spots! Our waiter was great and the atmosphere was what you expect for a Sports Bar, plus it was very clean from the dining room to the restroom! Breakfast: Huge pancakes with REAL blueberries, a Sidelines Scramble, a breakfast sandwich and a Mexican omelette (can't remember the name!). Generous portions and all VERY good! We'll be back next time we get to visit ;) read more

This is typical bar food. Good quality, large servings. The service especially on a Sunday is pretty impressive for the number of people in the activity creates you in an expeditious manner atmosphere of a big family gathering. The staff does a great job in getting your drink order correct and delivered in an expeditious order. A fun place with high energy read more

Would give it zero if I could. Came in at 10pm for a drink (they said they didn't close for another hour). Immediately got coasters tossed at us and crazy side eyes when we sat down. Proceeded to not leave a tip and had the manager crash out on us (threatening physical violence) and kick us out read more

Man this is just a great place my wife and I go to. Overall good food, probably the only none inflated place! Service is always good even when it is crazy packed. If you want a fun place to go to watch the game or just hangout it really is a great place. read more

Been a few years since we ate breakfast here on our trips to Bend. Amazing breakfasts and service in a true sports bar environment. I ordered the south of the border omelette. It was very good with crispy hash browns and a biscuit. Ordered a side of gravy to go with the meal. My wife ordered the eggs Benedict which she enjoyed. Great sports bar and breakfast. read more

Service was absolutely terrible, came in and immediately was met with a hostile environment. We sat down to get a drink and had more terrible service, and very unfriendly staff. Threw the coasters at us, mumbled under their breath about having to serve us, and messed up drink orders. Due to this service and only ordering a drink/beer each we did not tip and the manager decided to curse everyone out and insult each of us, and then tried to kick everyone out just after serving us our drinks. After verbally assaulting multiple of us and telling us we needed to go outside (simply for not tipping) we went outside to finish our drinks where the manager went on to follow us and continue cursing us out, and trying to lecture us. Absolutely terrible experience, would give it a 0 if I could. Avoid this establishment (if you can even call it that) at all costs. read more

One of the worst experiences! My group of friends and I were on break and were stopping for a quick drink. When walking in and asking if they were open the servers proceed to roll their eyes, look at the clock, and say yes. As uncomfortable as it was we sat down and grabbed a drink. They proceed to throw their coasters at us, roll their eyes, and murmur about the quickest way to get us to leave. Due to the poor service one of my friends tipped zero dollars on their 7 dollar tab and the manager cussed us out telling us some incredible awful things. We proceeded to try and finish our drinks outside to which he followed us and tried to physically fight us. Saying "I can't wait to get off work." As a tourist of the area I was incredibly threatened and so uncomfortable. I was scared for my life as this is the type of guy to take it too far. read more

My experience tonight was the most disgusting service I have ever received in a restaurant/bar. We walk in and the two bartenders immediately look annoyed that our group entered, despite the fact that it was 10pm and they are open for hours longer. The bartending service was poor, and they made no intentions to hide their attitude. After deciding not to tip because of how unwelcome we felt, the manager came over and proceeded to tell us how f*cked we were for not tipping. I have worked in the service and I have a great respect for workers in this industry, but a tip is a privilege, not a right. We respectfully told the manager this and he proceeded to start cursing us out, yelling profanities and telling us to get the f*ck out. He literally grabbed my friend's chair out from under him. We left without confrontation and stood on the outside balcony (1 foot from the public sidewalk) to finish our drinks. The manager then came out and started yelling at us to get the fu*k off of his property, which is around the point where he began to physically threaten us. "When I'm off work, you better hope I don't find you and fuck you up" is just one example. We walked to the next bar over, which had great service, which is conveniently when the same manager from Sidelines came over to try and get this new bar to kick us out. Obviously they didn't. The Sideline's waitress even came over and got in our faces. We gave nothing but respect and honesty, and I think the new bar understood that. My experience at Sidelines Sports Bar is, without a doubt in my mind, the most vile service I have ever had, and they deserve a zero star review. The manager's treatment towards us was absurd and abhorrent. Thank you Sidelines for ruining my night because of your actions. read more

I stayed over the weekend for skiing in bend with friends. We went out on Friday and sat down at sidelines for a drink at 10, three hours before closing. All of us sat at the bar and were immediately treated rudely. The bartender threw coasters at us and the manager said under his breath to get us out of there as fast as possible. We all ordered drinks in a relatively empty bar and, due to the horrible service, one member didn't tip. The manager instantly berated him and kicked us out. We went out and tried finishing our drinks in the patio. He came out and physically threatened us saying that he hopes to see us after his shift ends. We left to a neighboring bar and he followed us to try to kick us out from there. This bar was respectful and respected our business. One of the craziest, most disrespectful experiences of my life. I hope you don't have the displeasure of finding this place. read more

Cool sports bar with lots of TVs so you shouldn't have any problem finding the game you want. Service was great with a very friendly waitress who was working constantly. Went there about 4 pm and received a happy hour menu and another small menu. This isn't the usual menu we see. The waitress said they were "paring down the menu." Didn't press her since I got the impression it wasn't her decision and she might be stuck in the middle. Not sure if this was a "one-off" or something that might become permanent. If so, it'll be a big mistake. It would mean a lot of their better items are now gone. read more

Anna was great. Good jokes. Good garlic fries. Good beers. We sat at the bar and drank til we left. The only thing that would make this place better is if they stayed open later. read more

- Long bar with a bank of TVs in front of you. Plenty of two-tops and other tables in the open area, with smaller TVs parked everywhere. - Good craft beer draft selection, but they don't have a beer list. When I asked, I was invited to look at the tap handles, which is no help unless you're right in front of them. They need a beer list. - Solid happy hour food list, including a bunch of sliders for $2.95. - Super friendly atmosphere. read more

If you walk in an only one waitress is working and she's blonde you might want to go to one of the other bars downtown that serve breakfast. Attitude is everything and her attitude was horrid. No smile no welcome, acted pissed off to be working. She tossed the menus down without a word, and snottily said, "Sorry I'm too slow for you." Ok miss passive aggressive, work somewhere else if you hate it so much. read more

Best biscuits and gravy I've had. And I've tried many. Service was great. Everyone was so friendly. I love the ambiance with all the televisions around. And again, the food was great! Highly recommended. read more

We walked in and it took 30 minutes to get our drinks and well over an hour for food. When we asked about our food our waitress, the bartender (pink hat) snapped at us with absolutely no customer service. I will not be coming back. read more

I caved in and visited Sidelines after listening to how fabulous the food was for several days. This bar and grill was packed with people and I wasn't sure if it was because the food is "that good" or due to the community events going on that day in downtown Bend. Nevertheless we braved the crowds and grabbed a tall pub table. For my beverage I ordered a mimosa which was served in a pint glass because, according to the table server, there were no available champagne flutes due to the bottomless Mimosa special. So I received and extra large mimosa. This made me smile. For my entree I ordered chicken fried steak and eggs over easy, which also came with sidelines seasoned potatoes and an English muffin on the side. The food was delicious and the table service was consistently prompt and delivered with a smile. I will definitely revisit sidelines next time I visit Bend. Lastly, and as side note to the BF, you were right....you win...ok?!?! This place is "that good"!!! read more

Four stars for a sports bar? ........ I know. I know! I suggested it's four stars because of the exceptional "experience" we occasionally visit a sports bar for. The owners and staff facilitate a spirited, fun (but respectful) atmosphere as your favorite team competes on multiple TVs. It's always a friendly spot, with cheerful staff and positive energy. Recently I asked the server the best way to find a menu item which was free of garlic powder. She suggested a grilled chicken sandwich and she would have the kitchen specially prepare an unseasoned grilled breast for me. I have to say, it was just about the best grilled chicken I've ever enjoyed - clean and free of any seasonings during a very busy NFL Sunday rush. Above and beyond the call of duty - one of the kitchen staff delivered my custom sandwich (in a prideful way) to be sure it got to the right guest. Nice attention to detail - and an example of the kindness and warmth you'll find here. Breakfasts are terrific - lots of value and plenty of breakfast options. If a NE Patriots fan and Red Sox fan from New England can find comfort here, you probably will too. read more

The service is awesome. The food is great and the drinks are great! I enjoy going occasionally or drink, and every time the service is so good. read more

Great beer, great food, great service! A couple buddies and I stopped for a light lunch and a couple beers. We sat outside at the sidewalk tables. Normally when I sit outside, I kind of expect service to lack a bit. Not the case here. Our server and the servers around us all did an amazing job being attentive to customers. Our food was excellent, and our beers never got below halfway before our server came to ask if we wanted another. We tried to get one of our buddies to try the Triple Bypass challenge, but he chickened out. We will be back on our next trip to town! read more

Great food, awesome TV set up, presume the owner is cool, but the staff is really rude and awful. make sure to not bring goodies ice cream in while your watching the super bowl. they'll try to kick you out even after you just tipped more than your bill was..... we also bought more drinks trying to stay longer and was treated like trash read more

So hadn't been here for a long time and decided to have breakfast today. The server was right there for our drinks but it went down quickly from there. Son ordered chicken fried steak and asked for brown gravy substitute for the country gravy. Fast forward: Breakfast came out..she put down a plate of something which was clearly NOT chicken fried steak. My son just looked at it and looked at her with the WTF look in his eyes. He said "I ordered chicken fried steak..." She said,unapologetically "oh,my mistake..I put it in as the country breakfast". Then offered an insincere "well,I can take it back and reorder but it'll take about 15 minutes!" But the rest of us had already started eating so he said just never mind. He took one bite and it was inedible..come on,brown gravy over country bisquits..please!!!" My "world famous" French toast...below mediocre,on par with McDonald's I would guess. Bacon limp and cold. Husband's breakfast sandwich..made with sausage links???!! Terrible! And my DIL's California Benedict..sauce had broken and egg was chalky and overdone. All this was bad enough but the server never once offered to remove her "mistake" from the bill. I wanted to talk to the owner but since I wasn't paying I was at a disadvantage Topper: the server offered to take my $90 video lottery ticket to be redeemed. As she said her goodbye after the bill was paid,I reminded her of my lottery winnings..she brought it back....$5 short! I went with my $85 right up where she,2 other servers and the bartender were standing and said I had been shorted. They started to say something..I cut them short and said "it's right there on your lottery monitor/register: $90.10" Bartender said..hmm and gave me the other $5. Pretty sure the server pocketed the original $5 probably to make up for the minimal tip she suspected she'd be getting! I and my son have both been in the industry and know crappy customer service when we are subjected to it! Will NEVER be back! And before you write me off as a "Karen"..I am incredibly sensitive to the challenges posed by the pandemic and have empathy for business owners and employees trying their best. Mistakes happen but if a server goes the extra mile and tries to make the customer happy..that makes all the difference. read more

Sidelines Sports Bar - Sports Bars Near Me - Bend, Oregon

We we're really excited to give Sidelines a try as they were a personal recommendation. They also have great prices for being Downtown in a prime location. The service was good and we found seating promptly and they have tons of TV's with lots of different sports playing. Their selection of local beers wasn't the best but I found a pint I enjoyed. Unfortunately, the food was sub par and it was overall pretty dirty from the floors to the bathrooms. I really wanted to love this place but I just could't with the food and cleanliness. I may give it another try at some point to see if it was just an "off" day but I'm in no hurry. I'll update my review if it improves... read more

Do NOT give your credit card info to them, they will steal it if they think you're not paying attention. My ex tried using his "loyalty card" (ironically) to pay for a 25 dollar meal, the server who's name starts with a "J" ran the credit card and forged his signature after explicitly stating she didn't run it, he went back in within moments of the forgery to confront the bar (since he got an email notice of purchase) and they pretended like they couldn't find his ticket (and signature) in their pile. Magic! It was disgusting. They then sent one of their employees to go after him in his home until he kicked her out once figuring out what was happening. Do you really wanna hang around a depressed atmosphere like that where you're essentially tipping dead-beat moms so they can put more crap up their nose? They are scummy and proud. Next time, don't protect your ratty thieving servers. All thieves pay in the end. The owner lied about what happened in the end so he was apart of it too. Just a gross place full of gross people read more

We are traveling and we're looking for a Seahawks bar to watch the game on the road. This was the first bar to pop up as a Seahawks bar so we were super excited and headed over. Upon arriving it became apparent that it's NOT a Seahawks bar. Wish we would've known and we could've gone somewhere else where it was more fun and Seahawk friendly. GO HAWKS read more

This is definitely one of my favorite places to watch sports in town. I'm a vegan and I don't normally support places that contribute to animal cruelty but I've heard they get some of their meat from local ranches, hopefully they get all their meat from local ranches soon. :) Come on Sidelines I'm rooting for you. It's also a local business and I'm happy to help support most of local businesses (ETHICS MATTER!) Before they were considered meat, they were animals, and all lives matter so lots of Blessings They've got a great TV set up and it's been fun chatting with other fans and enjoying banter! During the Olympics it was exciting cheering on our local competitor(s) and watching the pros do their thing. They've got the holiday season in full swing with the xmas tree and the vibes seem pretty on point. So kudos for that, they're also are hooking up a banging salad for me with all the vegan fixings and the bartender was super nice about my order! read more

I mean it's what you would expect tons of tvs for sports and they have some good options for cheap beers

I've always had a great experience here, except the last time, we went here with a table full of service industry people (so, very understanding) our waitress Brianna was strait (still) wasted? And super rude. She was awful and had the worst attitude I've ever witnessed and some of the worst hospitality/service I've ever had. Not usually a complainer, but I'd definitely avoid her section if I ever go back. read more

I go here primarily to watch soccer matches on early weekend mornings. It's in a perfect location and the doors are already open at 8am. The place gets packed with locals and tourists. Many TV screens and you can always find your game on one of the screens near your table. Also there are plenty helpers inside at the Bar or for all tables. So you are well attended as a customer. I really like that! The menu is extensive. We have had several different plates over the last visits. We have tried the Southwest Omelette, Big Jon's BF Burrito, French-toast BF, and even the Biscuit & Gravy as a side dish. In general they taste good, quantities are average, and the coffee taste in my opinion is below average. But its also very inexpensive at under $2!!! The Bloody-merry drinks are good, but we tend to be there for the early games, one of the only places in town being open so early, a decent breakfast, and very consistent and friendly services. read more

Biscuits, gravy and football on Sunday. Nice place in a beer town to watch a game. Upstairs isn't amazing. But good atmosphere.

Went to sidelines today with a group, server was new which is fine however I asked to order and she told me we were not on ready on her list of things to do yet! Wow I work in the industry I can't imagine telling a guest that it's not on my list for them to order! Also never received 2 of our beverages after asking us twice. Trinity needs a lesson in manners and how to treat guest in this restaurant!! As the meal went on she spilled a white claw on my friend without apologizing or an offer of a napkin. Then proceeded to slam beverages down. I'm not only embarrassed for her, I'm embarrassed for my poor group! Trinity could not be more rude. Just wow!! read more

So we took a $10 Uber down to Bend Brewing after calling them at 9pm to confirm they were open until 10. Arrived by 9:15 and was refused service because they already had last call (would have been nice to know when we called). So we decided to try sidelines. They had vicious mosquito on tap which is way better than anything BB has ever made, and our waitress was awesome and we were able to get two rounds before they got everyone out at 9:50. Very nice pours on my vodka soda. Great prices. We would definitely come here again. read more
