    When in Redmond, this is a "must stop." Great beers and ALWAYS friendly service. It's real comfortable whether you sit inside the large seating area (lot's of room) or outside where you can enjoy some great Central Oregon sunshine. I recommend this place whole heartedly and if you are in Prineville, they have one there too.

    Loved the vibe and atmosphere of this place and the beer was also very good!! I went on an extremely cold day but the sun was shining and the fires were lit. I was very comfortable outside.

    In an area of Oregon known for beer, the town of Redmond doesn't have as much going on. Wild Ride Brewing was a standout and worth visiting especially if you're just passing through on the way to Bend. Wild Ride is right in downtown, a quick drive from hotels in the area. It's a large brewery with many tables, bar seating, and tons of outdoor seating. At the time of year I visited it was still really cold, but they have fire pits and warmers making it cozy for any area. The indoor area is cement floors, big open windows, and garage doors that can be open or kept closed depending on the weather. I came here a few times during my stay due to the fantastic experience on my first visit. Flights are $10 for 4 tasters, the glasses are large and uniquely served in old skis. Their taplist is long, filled with mainstays and limited releases (look for the additional board for those as new things drop all the time). Beer is priced cheaply for the quality - you can easily enjoy a long evening here without a huge tab. They offer cans and bottles to go; merchandise is also reasonably priced. For food, they have a selection of multiple food trucks outside; it's a great place for those families/groups that can't decide on a single restaurant. You can get full meals or mix and match appetizers from different trucks. Availability and hours vary for each. Simply order and pay, they give you a number and find you outside or inside. The staff here was wonderful on each experience - friendly, fast to serve, and happy to be there. Restrooms are clean and in a separate area near the bar but inside the brewery area.

    I always have a good time when I go to Wild Ride! Wild Ride was the first brewery/food truck lot in Redmond and it continues to thrive even with additional brewery/food lots opening up around town. Wild Ride has both indoor and outdoor seating (there are fire pits outside for those chilly Oregon nights) and there is even a little fake grass patch area where I have seen kids playing and dogs chilling. There is plenty of seating for large groups. Food wise - when I was there, there were four food trucks running with a great selection of food. Beer wise - I got the flight (a Taste-ski). I love Reds and Browns and it is hard to find those where I live now (las vegas) so I was very happy that both of those were offered. Family friendly wise - kids were welcome at this establishment and mine were entertained the whole time by the plethora of games that are along the wall. The only thing that would add value is if they had a little playground like another food lot down the street.

    K I D F R I E N D L Y Do I need to say more? This place is freaking awesome on all levels. Fantastic beer. In fact, they had the best beer out of all the places we hit in Bend. The food truck scene is fantastic, tons of options. The honey glazed shrimp from the food truck on the end were life changing. The Pilsner the brewery does might be the top 3 Pilsner's I've ever had. We will definitely be back when we're up that way

    This place was nice and spacious. Good beer, good vibes. Service was friendly. If you're looking for a casual place to hangout this is a good option.

    I flew in late at night and luckily Wild Ride was open! We grabbed a flight and some dinner form the pizza and taco trucks parked outside. It was a cool night but they had a fire pit going and nice music. .Great beer and the service was friendly. Just the ticket late on a chilly night.

    Food truck fish and chips. They were delicious!
    Amy R.

    Friends of ours shared this little gem of a place years ago and it's become our go to stop on our way to Bend. Love the beer and always a good selection of food trucks on site. Inside service and a huge outdoor patio with fire pits and plenty of seating . Street parking only and they always seem to be busy. Place your drink orders and pick them up inside, then out to the food trucks (they'll give you a beeper) for something to eat.

As a celiac, I made so that they have a dedicated fryer for their fries/tater tots, and they did, so naturally I had to get those. I decided on the sweet potato tots and they were just delectable. I was also craving something fresh, so I got the BBQ Chicken bacon ranch salad. Perfect meal after driving for hours on end. We even came back the next day and I got the exact same meal.

Once you step inside you are transported to a killer brew pub dimension. The place was moderately busy for 1:30 on a Wednesday and we were immediately greeted by the bartender. We analyzed the tap list and narrowed it down quickly to the 3 IPAs brewed by these guys. We ended up trying all 3 and overall I would give the beer an 8 out of 10. I love a Boneyard RPM or Ft. George 3-way. I have been away from Oregon Craft for about a year so I am a little off my game but I didn't leave a drop in those pint glasses. We both ordered the smash burger and fries with some jalapeño aioli sauce. The fries were maybe the best fries I've ever had. I literally put my head down and chowed through them all before realizing I had a burger too. Smash burger is true to form dressed with melted cheese, bacon, lettuce and tomato. The bun had been fried in magic sauce to a crispy texture before they built the burger. We were blown away at how good it was!! We went to Sunriver Brewing on Wednesday night and think Initiative won our personal award for that day!! Highly recommend you check it out and I want to go again before I have to leave town!!

It sits in an old storefront on what feels like a once-vibrant main street. The cozy colorful lights are welcoming. They have a larger outdoor seating area, but on the freezing cold night I visited, I opted for a seat at the small bar. There were large boisterous parties nearby, it was clearly a popular spot. The beer selection is large, with various serving sizes. Flights of 4 are only $8 here. They also had a number of bottled and can selections, even some from other breweries. The bartender was very welcoming and friendly, as were other patrons so it ended up being a fun evening of beer and fun talk. If you're a beer fan, this is a must stop in Redmond. There are also other excellent breweries within walking distance.

The 7th Street location in Redmond looks like an older log cabin, with a large patio out front. It's conveniently located to downtown Redmond, easily walkable from other restaurants, bars, and breweries if you're staying nearby. Going inside, I quickly realized this was a friendly local place where people come and the bartender knows your name and order. I ordered two flights on my visit; all the beer was great. They have a number of core staples, plus a bunch of small batch beers you can read about on the chalkboard near the door. The bartender was immediately friendly and welcoming; I said it was my first time there and she told me it's the oldest not-for-profit brewery in Oregon, donating all their post-bill/payroll profits to local charities. I was also here at lunch time and ordered maybe the best tuna melt I've ever had - rich, buttery, and delicious. They have lots of beers packaged to go as well. If you're doing the Bend Ale Trail, this is a fun stop and worth venturing to Redmond for if staying in Bend.

We were all getting cold and agreed that we were not enjoying the experience. We left. Strike Two! The third time we came prepared for the cold and found a table that we thought was protected from the wind. We ordered drinks and food, from the food trucks, and settled in for a pleasant evening with friends. Soon the wind started blowing dust and dirt around us. We tossed nearly half of the food in the trash because it was too dirty to eat. Strike Three! Sorry Food Truck People, what we were able to eat was good; but, we will not be returning to Blacksmith Public House.
