    BBQ Smash from Alpine Smash Burger (plus side of fries and fry sauce)
    Shelby E.

    Crux slaps, always. When the sun is setting, the outside area is a great place to be. The beer here is always fantastic, and the folks pouring rock too. Great people! The food carts offer a nice variety, but we tried Alpine Smash Burger (a shame they're not on Yelp yet!!) BBQ smash and fry sauce were FANTASTIC. I WILL be thinking about those pork belly burnt ends for a while. Crux is the vibe every time!!

    Beer flight

    Cool place to hang out and get a refreshing beer! Lots of indoor and outdoor seating with a ton of food cart options. Cheap beer flights (4 for $10) and a good variety of beers to choose from, will be back!

    IPA

    Good brewery and I enjoyed the IPA so much that a bought one to go. There was plenty of seating inside and outside and they had tv screens throughout. Seemed like a great place to chill and relax on a Sunday afternoon.

    Still solid after all these years. We Love their porters and my hubby loves their IPAs. In the past, this was such a hip tasty industrial brewery with indoor outdoor seating. Serves food and also may have a food truck open. Our last visit we enjoyed the bowl of chili and Caesar salad was all A-OK. The staff was helpful even when busy. Interesting to note, it's like all the beer drinker mt bike folks that used to all come here years ago just happened to grow up and have kids at once, so now it definitely has a very kids playground scene, but I still think it's cool here. (Just go inside to avoid the mayhem. lol!) It's sweet that they create a fun environment outside there. A suggestion maybe would be create a small section outside. that's a no kid table for sunshine and drinking too. ;) it looks like they're making good use of their space. I noticed many changes since the last visit. Looks like they have a party room you could rent, lots of fun well designed swag for purchase, ect. Crux will be always be on my brewery list for Bend, I will perhaps just avoid peak weekend hours. Cheers!

    Wow! This place is awesome! It's like a park outside and the food and beers are incredible. I spent a week in Bend and there are SO many great places to relax and have an awesome beer, this place is definitely one of the best around! I have been doing "beertender's choice" flights almost everywhere I went this week but here, I just stuck to what I like. I got 3 West coast IPAs and one imperial. They understand this style and knock it out of the (their own) park! Today the "Grade A" did it for me and the 1/2 hitch was an excellent stronger option. It will be a while before I return (500 miles from home) but if you live in, or are traveling through the area, definitely give'em a try!

    The ambiance is perfect for families. The alcoholic drinks were strong. The food truck food was okay. Loved the vintage booths too.

    Dragonfruit Jalapeño Margarita
    Julie D.

    Walked into Crux on a Sunday afternoon and it was barely busy. For a change, I had the dragonfruit jalapeño margarita and we shared the brewers Mac n cheese. The drink was fruity and a little sour, no detectable jalapeño. Good flavor, just not what I expected. The Mac n cheese was a huge disappointment, Bland and flavorless. We added salt, pepper and hot sauce to make it palatable. I would skip this next time and probably get a sandwich. Lots of seating inside and out. Food truck onsite as well.

    We love going to Crux whenever we visit Bend (which is at 3 times a year). It's a great place to meet up with friends and for all the kids to play/hangout. There is live music a lot of times. I enjoy choosing my own beer sampler. The kids have plenty of options for food. Highly recommend!

    Great local brewery. Inside or out seating. Food trucks and fabulous beers. Very laid back atmosphere

    Project nacho
    Camille H.

    One of my favorite breweries to stop at in Bend! Great beer options and also have good food. Service was good and staff were friendly. Very spacious indoor space, they even had a market going on on Sunday when we went. There is also great outdoor seating available. A couple of food carts available as options. I had the project nachos, Italian sandwich (hot) and tried the whipped feta. It was all super good.

    One of the best local breweries in Bend and the best sunset in town over the near Cascades. Try the sour when it's on.

    Hi! Is there Wi-Fi here?

    Yup

    Does this location take reservations for large groups of 7-8 people?

    We don't take reservations but our space is large enough to accommodate most groups and on nice days, the long tables in the back are usually available. We hope to see you soon. Cheers!

    This was a fun spot to visit! The atmosphere sure is lively, lots of people, lots of noise, great…read morebrews, fun cocktails.. But what you really just cant be here, the seating area and the patio, incredible.... I also personally like the way they have the bar set up as an in/out. Pretty damn efficient way to get everyone served and keep them drinking haha. Food was solid, for a brewery, what you would expect. Hot and crispy fries, decent smashburger, nachos, etc.

    We went to Bend Brewing Company because it was dog friendly. They have a lot of picnic tables down…read moreby the water which is great to bring a friendly pup. It is hard to find parking in that area. We went over the weekend and even after showing up a little later (1:30) the wait was 45 minutes for an outdoor table for 4. After waiting 55 mins and seeing more than 5 picnic tables outside vacant we went up to the hostess stand and she couldn't even tell us where we were at in the list (we had given our phone number when we put our name in). Then as they are trying to figure out how much longer we have to wait they continue to seat people who are just walking up outside. We finally get seated after an hour and then we have to wait another 10+ minutes to get kid menus (we had 2 kids in our party). Our waitress was friendly and got our drinks in right away. We ordered a pretzel for the table and the cheese dip was really tasty. One of our kids got a kid's cheeseburger and fries which were good. The other got a kid's grilled cheese which was on the smaller side with fries. We did a beer sampler which was a good way to check out several options. Overall rating would be 3.5 rating.

I hate being the first patron inside an establishment, and we arrived promptly at opening; however, it didn't take long before other customers starting taking seats - both inside to watch the World Cup and outside on their patio.

The food was absolutely dynamite! It's exactly what you want out of bar food - warm, comforting, and so delicious. Food paired well with our flights and although we couldn't customize them, I appreciated that I helped us explore a lot of the menu. We ended up leaving with two many 4- and 6-packs. The brewpub is more casual and relaxed, and you can tell that it's well loved by how many people there were on a Monday early afternoon!
