It feels elevated but still relaxed and genuinely welcoming. It's the kind of place where you can settle in easily whether you're catching up with friends or making a night of it. The drinks were a highlight. The London Fog martini, Under the Apple Tree, and Fanny's Pet Monkey are seasonal, but all seriously good and worth trying if they're on the menu. The espresso martini is amazing and easily one of the best I've had. Their happy hour is also incredible and definitely worth going for. Service really stood out too. The staff are kind and attentive without being over the top, and Carmen and Sarah in particular made the experience even better. Overall it's just a really solid spot with a great vibe. I'll definitely be back, and you will be very happy if you get to experience it for yourself!

We were told to have a seat and she'd bring us the menu. After we decided we went back to the bar and was told to sit back down that she'd get to us. I told her no rush, I can wait. She then replied, "I have these drinks to make and when I'm done, pointed to the dishes she had to get to first." I went back to the table and we left. We had planned to order drinks and food. Was the place understaffed? Did they not have enough dishes and glassware to support the guests? Was she insensitive to minorities? Regardless, I venture to say that I have been in "customer care" for more years than the age of the bartender. There have only been a few other instances that I've been treated this way. Extremely disappointing! Will never go there again and will never recommend this bar.

You have 2-3 open little tables out front... she claims you can't sit or grab a drink since you are understaffed.

Then they are holding a chair for a bf/hubby to arrive for over an hour. Wait... it gets better we order a pizza and some drinks....

We came with a group of about 15 from a…read moreworkshop conference, and several in our group have dined at Michelin restaurants worldwide-this was absolutely that caliber. Fresh, colorful, beautifully plated food with true options for everyone (vegetarian/vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, fish, meat). Beet salad was incredible, plus great appetizers (scallops/Brussels sprouts) and family-style entrées for our group. The venue is gorgeous and full of meaningful art (including the owner/artist's work). The standout was the hospitality-Sharon (founder), Rhonda, and the team were warm, present, and genuinely engaged with us. If you're in Sisters or nearby, do not miss The Open Door.

This was my second visit to Sisters. I decided to go to The Open Door for dinner. I ordered the…read morepasta dish for $25 which was supposed to come with [a] " white wine blue cheese sauce, chicken, fresh cherry tomatoes and chopped basil". I also ordered the $3 baguette and a mocktail for $10. The pasta dish was a massive disappointment. I had to search for the chicken such was the limited amount in the dish. There was a minimal amount of cherry tomatoes. The supposed "white wine blue cheese sauce" was missing from the pasta also. There was no Parmesan Reggiano cheese offered at the onset or freshly ground pepper. Perhaps The Open Door is not that kind of culinary experience. I rarely complain when I visit restaurants as I try to do my due diligence before I go. I spoke with the waitress, manager and one other lady who came by to check on me. I was told they could bring me some more tomatoes, etc. However, the dish should have contained sufficient ingredients to warrant its description which it didn't. Pasta is one of the cheapest mainstays in the restaurant business, but The Open Door's pasta dish took this to a whole new low. As for the baguette, I was given four tiny half slices of bread and not a baguette. In hindsight, I would have been better served going to the Sisters Smokehouse and Deli and ordering their Tri-Tip Sandwich - which is delicious BTW- than wasting my $ here at The Open Door.

I won't be able to give this place enough praise without sounding fake. But of the MANY restaurants…read morearound the world that I have reviewed, Cascada is among the best. I have eaten here several times now, and both the food and the service are dependably excellent. The burger is one of my favorites with a tomato jam that elevates "burger" to "you gotta try this". I've also enjoyed an amazing scallop appetizer with wild mushrooms and an incredible sauce. For breakfast, try their crab crepes baked with Gruyère cheese. The staff members take Cascada to the next level with inventive cocktails, jovial attitudes, and an attention to detail that seems forgotten at other restaurants. Cody, the head mixologist, has some innovative drinks to be sure, but even a basic Manhattan or Martini is poetry in his hands. Adrian makes sure the entire evening is enjoyable and top notch, while Logan never misses a detail. Even if the food were to suffer (which I don't believe it will), I will return for the staff. Try the special house cocktails for a special evening. Don't miss Sunday brunch and the crab crepes. If there is a special on the menu, order it. And if you just want something small for a quick meal, the poutine will stop you cold. Order it!

The atmosphere is rustic, cozy, and a little exclusive, which made it a really unique spot to grab a drink! We stopped in right after checking into our hotel, and it was the perfect first stop to kick off our weekend. There isn't a ton of seating, but you can choose between the cozy indoor space or the patio in the alley. Since there were only two of us, we were seated right away. If you're looking for a relaxed place to enjoy a quick glass of wine or a cocktail before exploring the rest of the town, I'd definitely recommend stopping by here. It's a charming spot with great vibes!

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.
