The rest of the team, especially recently, have unfortunately always had frankly unwelcoming, bored, avoidant, unenthusiastic, dead expression attitudes no matter the time or stress level. I've even been in when zero customers were in the entire building and based on the sole interactions with the bar, or lack thereof, the magic gets leached away from the place. Without the bartenders, it's just an empty building after all. A welcoming attitude or some conversation is the warm hearth that brings cold travelers back over and over again; people remember how they feel. Then again, even when the place is packed with people, I don't feel any warmth or connection from anyone here. Maybe it's a sign of the times, maybe it's Bend in general. I'll keep trying and coming back nonetheless.

Follow the alley. Trust me…read more You know those places you stumble into and immediately think, "Yep...this is my kind of spot"? That was San Simón for me. At first, walking down the alley in downtown Bend, I honestly was not sure what we were about to find. Then we started seeing little fire pit pods, heated huts, glowing candles, and people tucked away having cocktails. It instantly felt cool without trying too hard. Walking into San Simón felt like stepping into some funky speakeasy hidden in plain sight. Dark lighting, moody atmosphere, David Bowie playing in the background, wild artwork on the walls that makes you stop and stare for a second. Just a great vibe all around. The kind of place where you sit down and immediately relax into the evening. The cocktails were excellent. Not overdone, not syrupy, just really balanced and well made. One of our favorites was the "Some Positive Feedback," which came with this sugar rim that looked awesome and added just enough sweetness without overpowering the drink. Bright citrus flavor, refreshing, smooth, and dangerously easy to drink. Then we asked the bartender if they could just make us something off the cuff. We said vodka, lemon and lime forward, not too sweet, maybe a little spice. They absolutely nailed it. Crisp, refreshing, layered citrus flavor with just enough heat on the back end to keep it interesting. Honestly one of those cocktails where everybody at the table takes a sip and immediately goes, "Oh wow." As a bourbon guy, I was also pleasantly surprised with the whiskey selection. The bartender recommended Stafford's Reserve, an Oregon bourbon, and I am glad I listened. Smooth, approachable, a little sweet up front with some spice on the finish. Easy sipping bourbon that fit the whole vibe of the place perfectly. What really made the night though was the staff. Everybody was friendly in that genuine way where you feel welcomed instead of "served." By the end of the night it honestly felt like we had been there before, even though it was our first visit. The outdoor setup deserves some love too. Bend cooled down at night, but the fire pits and heaters kept everything comfortable. We could have easily stayed another couple hours just hanging out. Pricing felt fair for the quality of drinks and atmosphere. This is not a dive bar pretending to be fancy. It is a genuinely cool cocktail spot that knows exactly what it is. If you are in Bend and enjoy craft cocktails, bourbon, cool music, quirky atmosphere, and places with personality, go find San Simón. Half the fun is finding it tucked down the alley in the first place.

You step through those lodge doors and boom you're greeted by a fireplace so colossal it deserves its own zip code. Twenty feet tall? Thirty? Who's counting when your jaw is on the floor. Six feet wide of roaring, crackling magnificence. It's not a fireplace; it's a monument to comfort. Plush couches wrap around it like royalty awaiting an audience, while on the flip side sits a bar so polished and inviting it practically whispers, "Go ahead... order the good stuff." Then there's the view. Oh, the view. Slide into your seat and you're staring straight across pristine fairways, emerald and endless, with Mount Bachelor standing proud in the distance like it RSVP'd just for your evening. A little firelight flickering, appetizers arriving at the perfect tempo, and that golden-hour glow washing over the golf course it's the kind of backdrop money can't buy, but somehow you're sitting right in the middle of it. And let us not forget Ashley over the top in the best way. Attentive, polished, dialed in. Drinks never empty, timing flawless, service delivered with effortless charm. Add in a beautiful wife sliding in after a long meeting, the fire roaring, the mountain saying hello my friends, this isn't just dinner. This is an experience. Champagne wishes? Maybe not. But appetizer dreams and lodge-side luxury? Absolutely.

Bunker Bar Recently…read moreopened Bunker Bar is a mix of a dive bar/speakeasy. Once was a bar just for members, but this December it opened to the public. Veterans and active duty personnel is the bar's priority. Very affordable but nice drinks. Increasing liquor options. Clean restrooms. Bartenders are volunteers, please be kind and patient with them. All proceeds is to support the non-profit organization, American Legion. I love what this place represents. The drinks are good. People are friendly and I feel the love between the military affiliated community. Bring yourself and your friends. I just hope this place starts serving small bites to go along with their drinks.
