    a bar with neon lights
    Jason V.

    This place may have become our favorite local dive bar in Bend! It's not super fancy, but it has a nice social atmosphere, made even better by the incredible bartenders! From the moment we sat down, we were engaged in friendly discourse with our servers, including one guy (whose name I shamefully did not catch) who had just come on shift. He discussed with us about having a desire to craft some sort of cocktail using Galliardo that wasn't a Harvey Wallbanger, and had an experimental recipe he had devised earlier in thr day that he wanted to try out. I told him I was game. Aztec chocolate bitters, sweet vermouth, whiskey and Galliano. I was surprised how much I liked it. Loved it, even! While I savored it, the bartender and I discussed what to name it, and for some reason our conversation shifted to the movie Blade Runner (a favorite of us both). We decided it had to be called either the "Deckard" (his choice) or the "Roy Batty" (I felt it definitely had a "teardrops in rain" quality). If you ever come here, ask for either one, and you may just be in luck! My wife had a good chuckle at our emerging Bromance while she enjoy her cosmopolitan, which was so wonderfully smooth and tart. There are a lot of excellent choices for places to grab a drink in Bend, but this one has rocketed to the top of our list! It will be a definite must stop next time we are back in town, not just for the incredible drinks, but also mostly be engaging and personable staff. It reminds me of the type of pub experience you see in movies and on TV: personal and personable. Cheers to that!

    Laid back casual friendly crowd... a great dive bar. They let dogs in here which is a little weird and I'm sure violates a health code... and there's some random slot machines in back.

    Astro Lounge is very cool supporting local musicians with a venue. Open mic Monday attracts top notch talent including a few celebrities! Gotta go for the music, you will not be disappointed!

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!

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.
