This place has changed. It seems, mostly for the better. Always good beer, great food selections. Parents - wrangle your kids - there's literally an entire area for them. Dog friendly, so many great dogs. Please, please get better bathrooms. Bartenders are super nice. Beer garden is a dream. One indoor, single stall and 3 portapotties are not adequate for your business!!! read more

They have a big back area with plenty of seating and a food truck. Beer was okay, not bad but not great either. I was good for one and then that was it for me. The unattended kids were a nice touch to try and enjoy a beer. I asked about the Bend Ale Trail code and the server wasn't aware of it. I would think that as much as they promote the Ale Trail that everyone would know the code. If you have kids this place is great. But if you are looking to chill in a quiet place, this place isn't it. read more

This place has got some great beer, awesome food, and a fabulous ambience inside and out the fire pit outside children's play area and picnic tables was a fantastic venue to have a bite to eat and a great adult beverage read more

Good Life has an amazing happy hour menu, we got there 10 min before ending and the staff was quick to get our food and drink orders in so we wouldn't miss it, than you for that!!! The nachos were delicious, I added pork which gave it the perfect sustenance. Great drink menu, I enjoyed their stout. The gals in our group had their seltzers and raved too. read more

We were in town for a concert (daughter's graduation present) and decided to spend a few extra days (my bonus). We hit a few breweries while in town and I have missed stopping here the past few visits. Went inside to order, and interacted with a very friendly and knowledgeable man. We grabbed our drinks, ordered a pretzel and found a seat on the patio. The drinks were great. The pretzel arrived quickly and tasted great. I loved the use of the flaked sea salt. So many places you rock salt (blech). It was a quick stop, but a good one. read more

Used to really love this place and the relaxing outside area with music on some nights. Great beer and had the best dry rub full chicken wings! I'd even make sure to bring out of town people to try them. Since they got a new chef the wings are bland, nothing like they used to be. The large outside area is now completely inundated with young children running around so it's great for families but not for adults wanting to relax. I'm sad to say I'm not coming back. read more

Used to be my favorite Bend brewery for quality food and great beer. Something has changed, the beer is still great despite the brewery being completely removed from the facility. But the food has dropped in quality....good but not as good as it was. Regarding the service, well the crew is working very hard, but the understaffing results in lines to order and the lack of table service (like the old days) resulted in food being lukewarm and just ok. Please bring back the Good Life! read more

We came in on our Bend beer crawl. Small tasting room up front and huge outdoor space in the back with games, a food truck and potties. Great area for kids and dogs and relaxing while enjoying your food and beverages. The beer was good, service was excellent. read more

Love this brewery! A very dog and kid friendly patio. I enjoy sitting on the grass with my dog and the fire pit is nice as well. Lots of drink and food options. The staff is always attentive and I enjoy my time here. Been visiting for the past year and it's become one of my Bend favorites. read more

Everything's always great. In a perfect world, I'd pull out the lawn at my house and replace it with the same turf in the beer garden. just needs cornhole, ladder golf, and lawn bowls! read more

Great environment for anyone with young kids, there's an outdoor play area (with slides, jungle gym, etc) and grass. The beer selection is good and there's a few food trucks to order food from. But best of all, the staff is really nice. I was there with my family and my in-laws who were celebrating their 55th anniversary....when the owner found out (from the bartender I presume), he decided to comp my father-in-law's bar/food tab which was probably more than $75 at least. He said that his 55 year marriage was an inspiration, we were pretty shocked (in a good way). Anyway, great venue to check out if you're in Bend. read more

Beer is great! Service was the best. We went to 4 breweries a few weekends ago and this place had the best service and everything was delicious and fast! It was during the 49ers and Seahawks game, so they were busy. read more

Bruh. Really cool atmosphere , hazy and sours were amazing. I'll be back thanks for the hospitality to the bar manager.

Our last brewery visit in Bend was GoodLife Brewing Company, one that was special to me. This brewery was the creator of the Best of Craft Beer Awards, a large commercial beer competition that has since become independent. I wanted to check out the brewery itself, so we decided to have a late lunch here and were glad we came hungry. It's located in a little business plaza that felt commercial/industrial but still welcoming for outdoor fun with other businesses nearby. It was cold that day, but you could clearly see on a nice day the big garage doors would be open giving the whole taproom fresh air. The bar is big and shaped like an L along the back wall, with a door heading to the brewery itself behind. Mug club mugs were hanging everywhere, a great sign that it's a local favorite. We sat at a high top and each had a giant flight of 6 beers, plus all the food- I had a delicious sandwich and salad with fresh produce. Everything was delicious and this place ended up being a big hit. The bartenders were welcoming and super attentive the whole time, keeping us fed and laughing. Merchandise is also available. We had a great time here; if you're in Bend for the beer, this is a must-visit place. read more

Great tacos and beer. The crew in the back were having a great time singing and we thought it was great! We laughed and admitted, it's a good life! read more

Been regulars for over 10 years. The bar staff is great but the kitchen is a train wreck. The menu is reduced by what seems like 50%. 45 minutes to get food ordered at 5:45??? If we didn't love Chris and the rest of the crew, not sure we'd come back read more

You don't have to choose between great beers and great food! This place has it all. Get a flight! With a flight, you can get 6 different beers of your choice. One of the beers that I had was the Orange DreamZwickel. I loved it! If you're a fan of orange soda, you'd love this too. It's so orange forward and refreshing. I also got their wings (in sweet ass Habanero) and they were good! I didn't think that 6 wings would be enough, but I was surprised that it was actually more satisfying than I expected. 8 would be better but at least I wasn't that hungry at the end of 6. read more

Had a good experience on our first time here. Staff were welcoming when walking in and were knowledgeable in what beer fit our desires. We also had the pretzel which was very good with a more finer salt rather than the courser typical pretzel salt. Even bought a T-shirt that fits nice! read more

Great food and excellent beverage options. WARNING: The burger is not for a "first date" or similar experience. You will want to savor every bite. You might let some of the juice run down your chin. You might have to close your eyes while chewing. You really should only order this if dining on your own or with good friends. The burger: freshly ground, half pork belly, half beef. Fixings included blue cheese and caramelized onions, mayo. It's been a week and I'm still thinking about. read more

We came here on a Sunday with our dog. We ordered food and a beer. We sat out back which is a nice large grassy area with lots to space to sit and tables available. When ordering the waitress was very friendly and helpful in picking out food. We got a wrap, chicken Cesar salad, and pretzel. The pretzel was amazing!! One of the best of my life honestly. Soft and delicious on the inside with a lightly salted outer crust that was so good. The salad was good and have great flavor, as well as the wrap. It all tasted very fresh. This is a great place to grab a drink, have a bite to eat and catch up with friends. We will be back! read more

Very happy with my experience here. I got the Comatose IPA and it was delicious! A very light and easy to drink beer for 8.5%! My dad got the High Altitude American Style Lager and he loved it. We ordered off their specials menu which was the Spicy Orange Wings with Peanut Sauce and it was very good. They give you the FULL wing(the drum and wing combined). So meaty, so good! We also got the chili. It was one of the best chili's I have ever had. They need to add it to the regular menu. Service was great, food was great, prices were better than expected. Would recommend this place 100%. read more

If you're looking for great beer, food/snacks and a place for your four legged friend to join you enjoying life... look no further than the #GoodLife brewing. We had awesome craft brews, a great outdoor eating and chill area and some decent bites. So glad that one of the many Bend breweries were still open and operating during this COVID craziness. We stumbled upon them on a bike ride. I'd tried a few of their brews in the past but it was awesome checking out their home turf and gettin to know their team. Definitely made for a more loyal follower and plan to hit them up on our next Bend trip! read more

Such an incredible brewery in Bend. While there are a ton out there, this one is special. From the staff to the food to the beautiful backyard. This is a must check out while you are in the area. Amazing beer! read more

I got the bacon Mac grilled cheese and it was so good. Beer is great and staff were super friendly. Would definitely come back.

We had a great time here trying some of their beers! All that we tried were really enjoyable, and we LOVED the pretzel appetizer. I don't know what the cheese dip they gave us was made of, but it was some creamy deliciousness topped with a ground mustard and it paired perfectly with the soft pretzel. The service was also really great. Our waiter and the other bartender were very respectful of COVID precautions, while still making us comfortable and answering questions/requests/fun we were having. Thanks for the good time, good food, and good beer! read more

This has a great outdoor area! They have an okay selection of beer and food. Tried the nachos, they were okay, but probably wouldn't get them again. I'll probably come back and try them again, to see if it's any better the next time. read more

Well, this place was SO GOOD we came back twice! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming! Both times we drank and ate! The food is so good! The Grown up Grill Cheese was a favorite as was the Turkey Bacon Pesto sandwich. The Mac and Cheese was good too. The beer was great too! It's safe to say, the next time in Bend, we are coming back! Definitely recommend!! read more

Great outdoor space. Can only order from outdoor bar with limited selection if you choose to sit in the yard. Still great beer and had another food truck for food options. Dog friendly but not in the pub where there is larger beer selection and swag for purchase. read more

Excellent beer choices and very friendly staff. Let us sample beers. Great sandwiches as well. One of our favorite breweries in Bend.

We went away for the weekend and once we parked at the hotel in downtown Bend we didn't wand to start our vehicle. Happy to say this was a walkable distance from the Old Mill District and we highly recommend. Beer is excellent with many choices from IPA to stouts. The food was equally as good. Our server/bartender could have been better as he only half listened to us. Having to repeat 3 times that we needed silverware as he went back & forth wasn't nice. I think he may have been the manager, he seemed distracted by something?? Anyways, don't miss this place when in Bend! read more

Another awesome brewery. Hubby is a comatose fan. He tried sincoe road and he liked it as well. I'm not a beer drinker so I tried their stubborn mule instead. It kicks like a mule that's for sure! Loved it! One more thing I loved...the roast pork belly! It was crazy good. Dip it in both in the bbq sauce and sweet and spicy sauce...,yummy! Wish they served it with rice(haha). Good food, good drinks, awesome service Local Thursday special....what else can you ask for? We'll be back! read more

I love helles lagers, so when I found out that Goodlife has it on tap Bavarian Lager), I had to stop in. I had my dog in the car on what was a very hot day, but fortunately Goodlife has an outdoor beer garden that was perfect for dogs. A big expanse of grass with lots of picnic tables and umbrellas, we chilled for an hour or two with the family. The beer was good and the ambiance was great. read more
