    Gin Gimlet
    Sandra L.

    Absolutely love this cute cocktail bar! Nestled in an alley in downtown Bend. It's one of those places you walk by and are drawn in because it looks so cool. The outside seating has tables and cute pods with string lights for atmosphere. The interior is dark and romantic with mood lighting. We sat at the bar and I orders a Gin Gimlet which was excellent and my husband ordered an Executive Lounge- old crow bourbon, ardbeg scotch, ginger, lime, mint, rosemary. I am not a scotch fan but this drink was super tasty and more whisky forward than scotch. The complexity of this drink was incredible and well balanced. I love when I am surprised by a cocktail that is comforting, spirit-forward, both strong and smooth. Our bartender was super cool and friendly I am sorry I don't remember his name. Bend has a lot to offer but don't miss this gem.

    Found this lovely bar in downtown Bend, OR a 5 min walk from our hotel and down a little alley. The vibe is super cool with an altar for San Simon, the patron saint of debauchery in the middle of the seating area. The server advised that people leave trinkets or something for San Simon so he won't pester them or give them any trouble later in the evening. Of course we obliged with a little note on some MX pesos from our travels. The drinks are flavorful and strong. So many great options - we ordered the Gin and Juice Number Deuce (nice passion fruit flavor), Executive Lounge (strong and smokey) and Shrub a Dub Dub (the watermelon shrub and pickle was so good). We also got a build your own charcuterie board with marinated olives, a fancy canned tuna and smoked Rogue blue and a soft Brie. A must visit if in Bend!

    I love good lighting, I love a mean whiskey sour, and I love a cool, unique place I can just unwind and have a good time, with or without friends. San Simon is that place. Salud!

    Forgot the name of the Cocktails but both gin drinks - very good gin..

    Cute alley , got a bit loud when a group of 10 or so folks gathered right in front of the tiki booth ( loved the velvet curtains) we'd chosen to sit in... drinks were ok / excellent quality gin - I think you pay for the vibe- inside was really really dark but the chaise lounge seating looked comfy ...

    It was not about the food but an after dinner cocktail and a charcuterie board hit the spot while catching up with friends. Service was amazing and very tentative. Thank you for entertaining our jokes and keeping our drinks full. Super chill place, quiet and relaxed and just an awesome vibe to this place.

    Classy place to have a cocktail or whatever you're drinking. There is plenty of outdoor seating. When we were there, it was cold, and the fireplace tables were in full use. We sat inside, at the bar. This place has tapped into the desires of many patrons at an upscale bar, and that is a great charcuterie plate. You can build your own from a selection of high-quality ingredients. For the olives, they make their own brine with harrissa and citrus. The portions are pretty generous, so it is easy to share.

    Wanted to do a big shoutout to the service here!! Everyone who worked with us on Saturday night, different bartenders/waiters who brought our drinks and helped us were all SO NICE AND SO COOL. You normally don't see this kind of service these days going out. Drinks were bomb. A fantastic cocktail bar!

    Amazing vibes, nice and dark ambience. Some of my favorite drinks are here with fun rotating seasonal drinks. The food is super expensive for what you get so i just usually come for the drinks. Great service, always greeted kindly.

    A great place that is truly focused on craft cocktails

    A true craft cocktail bar that caters to the most adventurous to the standards. We had a couple of their signature cocktails along with a Manhattan made with High West Whiskey. Seating is plentiful for singles and small groups with bar seating and small group vignettes. Service was friendly and knowledgeable. Great selection of local and National distilled spirits.

    We had a lovely time getting pre dinner cocktails! Service was great and we sat outside with a fire pit. I ordered two gin drinks which were great. My friends also loved their drinks especially the mezcal paper plane. We would love to come back next time we are in bend!

We ordered the scallops which were full of buttery deliciousness, the chicken which was cooked to perfection with crunchy breading on the outside, and a creamy polenta dish. You can't go wrong but be sure to order one of the salads. Our favorite was the baratta and citrus salad with olives and pine nuts. It has all the textures and sweet-salty goodness you could want. As for cocktails, our favorite was the pear and side piece drinks. The presentation is beautiful and they really are one of a kind. We'll be back!

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!

Let's just start out with the atmosphere.... This place is just covered in craft store plants and Amazon decorations. No character nothing special. Now I could've gotten past that if the drinks were OK. I didn't have super high hopes, but I was very excited to find a Tiki Bar in Bend while I was traveling for work. So I started out with just a classic Mai Tai after looking over the menu and being pretty disappointed that it's just the most basic "tiki" drinks in existence. The Mai Tai was flat out awful, and I mean AWFUL. It tasted like water mixed with lime juice. No alcohol taste in anyway, and not even a drip of Orgeat taste. It is so bad that it upset me, and it's completely clear like water. I did decide to stay cause I needed a break from the long week of work, but I just went straight to rum straight. I could've overlooked this, if there was even any slight conversation at the bar with the bartenders, but they had no interest in talking to the people that were there, three of the people at the bar were employees, and the entire time was just them talking together about how much they don't like rum or even the drinks on the menu. Wild. Past that they were talking about how they store their juices, and that they don't date label them in any way or throw them out after a certain amount of days, they just come in and taste them to see if they've gone bad. Get the f*** out of here.... A quick Google search will show you that most citrus juices start to oxidize within the hour, and orange and pineapple are not far behind... Don't even come here and give it a try, just go somewhere else.... This place should not be in business.
