The beer they had on tap was delicious. I had a Blonde ale and was very pleased. The staff was very friendly and the other patrons and class attendees were fun. They have a variety of options upcoming to attend DIY classes which will be a lot of fun to attend. I will be keeping up with options for attending these in future trips to the area. Wish there were places like this on the East Coast because it's a great idea.

Walk in, look around to see who works here - it won't be obvious- and get a local beer. Go out back and misted on a hot day. Grab a lawn chair or bring a blanket as one couple did when we were there and relax and enjoy. They have a food truck in the back. I got the chicken wrap that was tasty and generous. Love this place.

Found out they are one of the few places that stays open till after most places closes (at 8pm). Came in and was greeted promptly by a friendly guy. Since he recommended the Philly cheese sandwich, we gave that a try (my friend and I shared it along with a Cole slaw). They came already split up for us. The slaw was very good and the sandwich was probably one of the best I've ever had.

If you're traveling through Central Oregon, The Spot is an…read moreabsolute must-visit destination. From the moment we walked in, Andre made us feel like old friends. Owner, bartender, comedian, and all-around incredible human, he welcomed us with his Friday Joke of the Day that had us laughing so hard we were nearly in stitches. What makes Andre truly special, though, goes far beyond his humor and hospitality. As we got to know him, it became clear he's a man driven by purpose and passion. In his "retirement," he's dedicated himself to helping build curriculum and support Oregon's donor programs, making a meaningful impact on countless lives. His depth, wisdom, and genuine love for what he does are inspiring. The Spot reflects everything Andre brings to it: warmth, authenticity, great conversation, positive energy, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease. It's one of those rare places where you come for a drink and a meal but leave feeling uplifted and inspired to pursue your own passions a little more boldly. Thank you, Andre, for creating something so special. The Spot isn't just a stop along the way, it's a destination in itself. We'll absolutely be back! Cheers to great food, great laughs, and even greater people.

Searching for a place to relax, have a meal (after working under tents for their Western Days all…read moreday in the cold blistery wind weather), we decided to visit Horseshoe Saloon, only to tell us: we go outside (pointing that way) to ORDER our food (from two food carts), and bring them back to eat inside - if we want, or eat outside. We went outside (back in the cold wind), and found no one in both food trucks. We also don't feel like this is the type of food, we want for dinner, since we ate from a food cart, during my event! We couldn't find the exit, back to our parked vehicle, since we're inside a locked-in coral, so we have to go back inside the bar, where people were staring at us, that we didn't order food or drink, to go back to our vehicle. Embarrassed! For those visiting Prineville, this is what you'll get!
