We parked in front of the Wells Fargo Bank, and two security guards were watching us, and since they've been watching us, I confronted them, where a good place to have lunch. They recommend us two restaurants, and one was the Pine Tavern, where there's a lake view, which my husband were planning (anyway) to take us. We've got two hours to park there, so we hurried and we found it across the street. We were seated (by a window as I asked), and directed us to our seats. We ordered the same sandwich, with different side dish. He got French Onion soup, and I had Clam Chowder with our Half a Tuna Sandwiches. I was surprise to see vegetables in my Clam Chowder, that was a first! Both were quite good, except I didn't care for Onion Soup. Hubby loves his. I've taken photos inside, and only the next day, hubby realized there are two huge tree trunk inside the living room. ('Really? I didn't see that!' he questioned). My photo showed it, and we were talking to a cousin visiting with us, and we're talking & laughing about the trees, even after showing him my photo. It was hilarious! Our waitress gave us a complimentary dessert for our wedding anniversary. We picked Sky High Mud Pie. (Thank you!) We made the right choice to come here! BTW: They also have nice restrooms, and curtain for privacy room dining. read more

My boyfriend and I had dinner here our first night in Bend, which happened to be St. Patrick's Day. We had totally forgotten the day, and were surprised to find the entirety of downtown packed with people! We had decided to try this place because of its particular historic relevance to Bend. Luckily, since we only had a party of two, we were able to get a table relatively quickly. They had live Irish music for the celebration and people were packing in like crazy. We were seated in the very front of the restaurant, so unfortunately we didn't get to see the back area with the tree trunk growing through the ceiling. It was far too busy for me to feel comfortable wandering around to sightsee inside. It's a cute older building with a traditional pub vibe, and the menu mostly has a slightly elevated pub food to match. Photos of varying significance line the walls. Many seem to reflect famous people who may or may not have been patrons over the years. My boyfriend ordered the fish and chips, and I ordered the mac and cheese with bacon. While both are simple dishes, they were both prepared well and quite tasty. The waitress was very efficient, but also laid back and friendly. We liked her a lot. I don't think you're going to experience a groundbreaking culinary experience here, but we did enjoy the quality of the classic dishes we ordered. The portion of mac and cheese was so big that I took leftovers and had the second half of it for lunch the next day. The prices seemed fair for the portions we received. I would come back here again for the friendly vibe, solid food, and lack of pretentiousness. read more

We came in last minute and were able to grab a reservation online. The service was incredible. I forgot our server's name but he was on it the entire time. The atmosphere is really cool, especially the tree in the middle of the dining room. The patio view looks like it would be great in summer too. Food was mostly solid. The bread with honey butter was super sweet and felt more like starting dinner with dessert. The French onion soup was good but a little watery and needed more salt. The classic wedge was perfect and crisp. Mac and cheese tasted extra cheesy with a little al dente bite. We had a celebratory peach crumble that was good but lacked flavor and tasted more like hot peach's with too much cinnamon and oats poured on top. Overall it was a good experience and the service definitely outshined the food. read more

This is the oldest restaurant in Bend, Oregon. It's super cute and rustic. They've got a nice menu and the server was probably the best server I've had in years. I wish I could remember his name, I'd love to give him a shout out. I went with a group of 7 and unfortunately, didn't take any pictures of the food. But it was just OK in my book. Everyone else in my party seemed to really enjoy their dinner. We had a couple people that got Caesar salads with shrimp, the steak salads and one person got the marsala chicken. I also really liked the little scone donut bread with the honey mustard that they brought out in the beginning. When the server was going over the specials, he did mention a prime rib. I don't even eat a lot of beef anymore, but for some reason that appealed to me that day after probably 30 years of having a prime rib. So I ordered an end cut because that's what I would typically eat. The end cut has the most seasonings. When it arrived, it was a massive portion of meat, almost comical that one person could possibly eat that in one sitting. I like leftovers so right on. I've got to say, it was seasoned well but it was SO dry! If it wasn't for the au jus and the horseradish sauce I'm not sure if I could've gotten it down. In retrospect I probably should've said something to the server, but then they would've just taken it back and wasted it. I have a hard time wasting meat because that cow died for someone to eat it. I didn't want to complain about the food, but then still eat it because then it looks like I'm trying to get a free meal which was not my intention. I did enjoy the potatoes and the asparagus AND I took the rest of the prime rib home and made sandwiches with it after soaking in the au jus, which were nice with some melted cheese and horseradish sauce. read more

We would rate the food about 7 the service a 5. The ambience 10. Nostalgic - love that the trees are still there.

From Service to amazing Food, Pine Tavern has never disappointed me when I have eaten there.

Very delicious food, quick service. They have 300 year old trees that they built the restaurant around!! Our server Danny was great and very attentive. A worthwhile stop in Bend! read more

Classic joint. Have had a few things here and everything has been pretty solid. In the past I've enjoyed the French onion soup and the chicken fried chicken. Recently I tried the Reuben and French Dip. The French Dip was aiight, but the Reuben was spectacular! I'm not even necessarily one to order a Reuben. It was delicious! Truffle fries and salad were an upgrade. Fries were super garlicky, which I enjoy. If I could do one thing differently I would have asked for a side of mustard with the Reuben. Yummm!!! read more

Great food and service. Atmosphere among the best around. Love their bar. Looking forward to the locals night specials.

Visit: Oct 8, 2025 Score (1 - 5): Hostess - 0 Waitress - 4 Food - 4 Portion Size - 3 Prices - 3 Ambience - 3 Been coming here for almost twenty years. Was looking forward to celebrating our wedding anniversary this evening. Should have just turned around when the hostess didn't even greet us, or acknowledge our anniversary, and then sat us in the back with a great view of several window tables that remained empty all night. Waitresses were having to bus their own tables, food took almost 45 minutes to arrive, wood seats were super uncomfortable after about the first 30 minutes, sodas were flat, meals were OK, scones tasted pre-packaged. Just not that great an experience. Sorry. read more

I had an amazing steak salad. We had a view of the water and the service was amazing!

Excellent food, upbeat, ambience, and energy. We loved our salads and entrées from the very start that we sat down. We were celebrating the holidays in downtown Bend and decided to swoop on in. Service can be a little slow, but only because this place is very popular. Highly recommended. read more

Omg - amazing all around! From the hostess to our server, customer service was EXCELLENT! We got the orchard Moscow mule (2 for each of us) and they were beyond delicious. We ordered clam chowder, steelhead, and the 3 mac and cheese. All the food was FRESH, hot, and timely served. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating, which is a huge plus for us. We soooo highly recommend this historic site with the most amazing service and food! read more

Great food including prime rib. Shocked to discover 3% surcharge added because used credit card. I did not see any notification that there would be a charge. read more

Full disclosure I didn't eat here. Just walked in because I heard it's a cool atmosphere with the tree growing through it. That was true. Comfy booths, nice views but obstructed by some items and construction. The menu has a great variety and I've heard it's popular especially among an older demographic. I was looking for a popping lunch spot to socialize and it was pretty quiet when I walked in. I would go back but probably with a friend if I lived here. Enjoy! read more

The food is very expensive. It's tasty but not great for the cost. I'm glad we went but won't go back.

Was excited to grab a cocktail and a little happy hour. The place wasn't too busy but we sat for 15 minutes with out being greeted. We left. read more

I had the Steak Frites, which was well cooked - tasty and tender. Convenient location, reasonably priced for the quality of the food. Service slightly slow because it was pretty busy. I think most would enjoy a meal here, though maybe not have their minds blown by a fantastic culinary experience. I'd be happy to go again, though with so many options in Bend and only visiting once a year, it may be a while... read more

*AVOID* Not welcoming to people with disabilities. I have a seizure disorder and an alert dog for epilepsy. The staff could not have been more kind, and asked for his tags upon entry. After 3 hours, the new manager on duty approached me to say they only allowed dogs for "physically visible" disorders. Please do better. Or at least have your mgmt read up on state law. 2 legal questions-all he had to do was ask :) like the servers before him. Some people have disabilities you can't "physically see" until it's too late. I left immediately. read more

The line tavern doesn't look like anything from the street, but oh what a treat when you walk inside! The bar is pretty plain, the entire side is a relic with old style wood look and kinda swanky. We stopped in to get out of the heat and have a bevy. Wine, cider and beer were good. The real gem is the restaurant, there are small little dining nooks with curtains for a romantic dining experience. In the main dining room there are two trees that are growing in through the building. So cool! Menu looks inviting. We will need to come back for some food in the future. read more

Met some friends while we were in Bend OR at the Pine Tavern, a favorite place for our friends and a first time for us. We sat out on the patio along the river and what ambience. Our waiter was happy and whitty as he guided us through the wine list, the food was so good and we were having such a good time I forgot to take pics . Nevertheless the food was amazing; Fish and Chips, Pulled Pork Sandwich, Steak Bites, Caesar Salad and Chicken Marsala. And don't forget the Scones with Honey Butter. Go early because it fills up fast if you don't have a reservation, great place, amazing food and fantastic service. Don't miss out on this local gem. Mangiamo! read more

Love this place. My parents bring me every time I visit! We get French onion soup and a Caesar. We also come every birthday because you get a huge, yummy dessert! Gorgeous view (esp in the warmer months). Shout out to the hostesses for always being welcoming (and complimenting my mom's birthday crown) and to Ashley J for being a fantastic server! read more

We do love our classic go-to in downtown Bend, but a recent incident has triggered a negative vibe about Bend, and it affects this lovely establishment because it concerns PARKING. Bend has gone tragically wrong. Somewhere ... someplace .. A bit of history: Bend was once a logging epicenter. It was built by the sweat, blood and tears of hard-working folk with saws, rifles, horses, trains, trucks and buckets of sweat. Now, it's more for green glam 'progressives' who have decided they will have none of that. We are too high-fallutin' for all of that grit. Like work, Like trucks. So.... the City of Bend has instituted a unique parking equation. Take note of the parking spaces on the street. The stalls for vehicles have brackets painted at the end of the partitioning stall lines. If you drive a real truck, not oversized, just a real truck like a Dodge or a Chevy and it projects over this bracketed rear linea foot or two, you will receive a PARKING VIOLATION for IMPEDING THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. Yes, you will. And it will cost you $50. If you are from anywhere else in the world, you will not be familiar with this insane and asinine practice. So, if you think of visiting Bend, don't drive a truck. You won't be able to park it. Also, eat quick and don't shop -- you only have 2 HOURS at most in these spaces! Bend businesses, step up. You will quickly lose the customer base who built you up. And you'll sell out to the ones who will undermine your very soul. Oh, very good Happy Hour Burger and Wedge Salad. Kudos to the staff, especially the very gracious bartender. Great beers on tap. read more

I like the food and the ambiance and I recommend the Pine Tavern. I rated it 2 stars for 3 reasons: 1. The person refilling water glasses places the pitcher on the glass to pour, effectively sharing germs between all the patrons. 2. We were seated outside (lovely), but as it got dark there was no lighting - not even a candle on the table. Cheap fix. Stupid oversight. 3. The service was sub par. For example, we ordered a botttle of wine to accompany dinner. It was delivered to the table after we had eaten 3/4 of our dinners. So, in short, go to the Pine Tavern for food and ambiance, but be prepared for sub-par service, possible darkness if you sit outside for dinner, and the possibility you will catch a bug from cross contamination of water glasses. read more

Fantastic historic setting. Great piney indoor areas and trees covered outdoor seating by the Deschutes River. A Bend, Oregon classic!

The food was incredible and our server was helpful and very personable. We sat outside and were able to enjoy the nice weather. They printed us our own menus for our anniversary. We'll be repeat customers for sure. read more

Pine Tavern Restaurant is such a Bend gem. It's like having dinner with an old friend. I have always loved the food - they have the very best fish and chips and my husband says the grilled chicken sandwich is something of dreams. They have a great wine list and the drinks are perfect. And of course, the staff is very friendly, always going above and beyond. If you haven't been in a while or if you have never been, do yourself a favor and visit them. Oh and order the mud pie - you deserve it! read more

Pine Tavern is pretty much the definition of a local landmark having opened in the 1930's. There are already a ton of reviews so I'll be brief. - The space is huge and can hold a lot of folks with a variety of seating types (ADA friendly). Nice back patio when the weather cooperates. - Nice bar, although it's not particularly large. - The menu is similarly not terribly expansive but what they have is typically well prepared. - Good happy hour menu. Pine Tavern is noted for having one of the better happy hours in town. - Service is top tier. - Take some time to look at the historic photos on the walls. Recommended. read more

Spent the birthday weekend up in bend Oregon. Stumbled into cute little tavern after skiing up in Mt. Bachelor. We ordered wedge salad (shared between my bf and I) it was a good portion for us to split. Then we ordered French dip and Cuban. Both were absolutely delicious and their unique sweet potato fries with pickled onions and cojita cheese was delightful. Must go back when we go back to Bend. read more
