We went there on the 4th of July to watch the Timbers game having heard that they were a supporters bar. Sure enough they put the game on several of the big TVs. The place was fairly busy with people celebrating the holiday. Despite the crowd our server, Anna, did a great job. It appeared she was the only server but got help from kitchen staff and bartender. We ordered a few beers and happy hour food. The prices at happy hour are great. Beer selection was adequate and the food was good. Anna came to our table often and made sure we had what we needed. I am often in Bend and will return for future Timbers games and other sporting events. read more

talk about a great sports bar. the place was packed yesterday. caught the Beavers playing as well as many other games from around the country. good beers on tap and pretty OK food between the beers. while kind of dismal, they do have overflow seating in an upstairs kind of loft thingy; great view of the room but downstairs is where the action is. loads of TVs so everyone can see several games at once. glad I went. read more

Cheap, strong drinks from a full bar slung by hardened pros, a sorta scruffy clientele, video poker, dim lighting and absolutely atrocious bathrooms make this place a standout on the dive bar barometer (dudes: you got a trough to piss in and a condom machine to check out afterward. FYI). The food is average-to-okay, burgers and sandos and fried stuff, in good portions. BUT: the booths are comfy, and the service (yes there is table service) is far above what you'd expect in this class, plus the vibe is super warm and welcoming. So, 4 stars - graded on a scale.
