We stopped in right after checking into our hotel, and it was the perfect first stop to kick off our weekend.

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!

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.

It's not like being in New Orleans, but it's pretty close! And you better believe that plate went back to the kitchen spotless!!! That BBQ sauce was bomb, which means good apparently.

So good... I wish the carrots were mushier (more mushy?). That's a personal preference. Waitress #2 highly recommended the carrot cake and assured us she wouldn't pass judgment on two dudes sharing dessert. I'm glad she did as it was one of the lightest and best carrot cakes I've ever had. And the carrots WERE mushy here. Then she had the entire kitchen staff come out and laugh at us for sharing (ok, she didn't, but that would have been classic). I enjoyed my time in Bend and this place would be on my list for a repeat visit if I'm ever here again. Loved it!

From living in Portland most of my adult life I found myself time and time again going to River Pig Saloon in the Pearl. Gathering for football games on the big screen, to catching up with friends over a few cocktails and food. This place always had a great atmosphere, incredible bartenders and staff. Since moving back to Bend where I was born and raised, it was difficult to find a watering hole I could call home. I got word that River Pig Saloon was coming to Bend I couldn't be any happier. As soon as the place opened for business I was home! It is everything River Pig Pearl has to offer and then some. River Pig has a fantastic patio, with corn hole boards, long timber bar hight tables that are perfect for bragging about the epic day on the mountain bike trails or river. However, don't think the outdoor area closes up for the winter, River Pig has a massive outdoor real wood burning fireplace that is differentially a prime spot to post up for apres ski. Step inside to see River Pig's unique decor and atmosphere which will make you feel like you stepped back into the days of the old sawmill town of Bend from of the early 1900's. find a table or belly up at the bar, there isn't anything on the menu that isn't amazing, in fact its fantastic! Drinks are reasonably priced. Great pours, and created, and presented in that old fashioned craft cocktail style that Bend has been missing. I'd suggest River Pig's take on the Old Fashioned or the California Widow. The food is equally as easy to brag about. River Pig's kitchen staff knows exactly what to bring to the table for Bend. Hands down, it's the best pub fare in town and doesn't break the bank as some other places do. After a fun filled day doing Bend things it is a no brainer to swing in, quench your thirst and fuel up with absolutely the best happy hour Bend has to offer. Local favorites include stacked to the sky nachos, amazing hand breaded chicken strips, and my all time favorite the Draper Vally drumsticks with River Pigs's own in house dry rub are a must try. All in all River Pig has quickly became a staple to Bend, you definitely won't be disappointed with a visit, and it will have you coming back again and again. read more

River Pig is one of my go-to spots in town. Great beers on tap, yummy drinks and even better food. Definitely the greatest "bar" food in town. Highly recommend the nachos and anything that comes with their curly fries. It is a BAR, so expect that it does get busy at night on weekends, especially during the summer and holiday weekends when tourism is high. They have a big following due to their other location in Portland and sister bar in Eugene so it can get crowded, but again it's a bar... Good vibe all around and best place in town to watch any given game, whether it's football, soccer or basketball. They have a large projection screen and multiple TVs to watch any given game, especially Oregon games (go ducks!) and always have the Timbers on when they're playing. They are located within walking distance to a bunch of other Bend favorites like Spoken Moto, Immersion, Brown Owl, Crux and many more faves. read more

The River Pig Saloon is an absolute gem in Bend, OR! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a fantastic vibe and a cool, laid-back atmosphere. The decor is rustic yet stylish, making it the perfect spot to unwind. The food is beyond incredible--every dish is crafted with care and bursting with flavor. The drinks were fresh, expertly mixed, and very delicious. The bartenders clearly know their craft, and it shows in every sip. Whether you're looking for a great meal or just a place to relax with friends, the River Pig Saloon is the spot to be. The staff were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall wonderful experience. Their service was top-notch, making sure every guest felt welcome and well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Bend, OR.

Rich with deep flavors, the right amount of creole seasoning and creaminess. I was told by the bartender that I should definitely try it. I was torn because I wanted to try so many things. The cocktails are all fantastic. The wine list is great. The servers are all very knowledgeable and helpful. This is a great spot that's not pretentious but would be fantastic for a dimly lit date spot, or even a casual date with a friend. They have a full bar, a unique menu, and indoor/outdoor seating. If I am back in Bend, this will be my first stop.

What a find in Downtown Bend... Ok, my coworker was here before and suggested we go, and I'm glad I…read moreheard him. It was kinda late as we were at an evening conference event, and after a short wait, we were seated! Crowded and late is usually a good sign. We ordered some great cocktails to start and a Cajun BBQ Shrimp Appetizer. The cocktails were great and unique, but the BBQ Shrimp was amazing. It's not like being in New Orleans, but it's pretty close! And you better believe that plate went back to the kitchen spotless!!! That BBQ sauce was bomb, which means good apparently. For some reason, we switched out waitresses halfway through, which made tipping awkward. However, each was funny and friendly in different ways. That's always a plus when you've been on the road for 10 days or so and are feeling the wear and tear on travel and bougie food. For Entree's, he ordered a salad which looked amazing, and I ordered the blackened redfish and swapped the sides for fries and carrots. The fries were absolutely amazing, as was the redfish. So good... I wish the carrots were mushier (more mushy?). That's a personal preference. Waitress #2 highly recommended the carrot cake and assured us she wouldn't pass judgment on two dudes sharing dessert. I'm glad she did as it was one of the lightest and best carrot cakes I've ever had. And the carrots WERE mushy here. Then she had the entire kitchen staff come out and laugh at us for sharing (ok, she didn't, but that would have been classic). I enjoyed my time in Bend and this place would be on my list for a repeat visit if I'm ever here again. Loved it!
