i have a personal preference (nostalgic) for the original pub (or brewery) in Bend, but this place is pretty sweet. perhaps a little too poular/busy, but the service is great. the wood carvings are incredible. the beer is fantastic, and there is a huge selection of good food. even the hand dryers in the bathroom, made by Dyson, are badass. like mini jet-engines!

I like this place, very ’Alaskan’ feel to it with the exposed wood pillars and beams and carvings. Probably a bit too much for the PNW city folk. All the great Deschutes beers, plus seasonals and a great menu. A step above burgers/pizza pub food and this is why I enjoy it. It does get crowded and is not a dive. Bathrooms could probably use a tighter cleaning schedule but hell, it’s just a bathroom. I’ve never had an issue in my several stops there and last had Abyss while on tap. Unreal! One of the much better upscale brewpubs.

This is a must stop on any visit to Portland. During me recent travels there it was suggested by some locals that these guys were the big guys in town and that somehow that made them less cool...less "worthy"...well they make great beers...and yes...their place in very neat in a "big brewpub" way...but so what. They still have good food...great beer (large selection) and large but very interesting "digs"...especially for any craftbeer tourists visiting Portland.

One of my favorite breweries in Portland, OR. The atmosphere is very open and upscale. Seating is usually pretty quick unless you’re there for a release like The Abyss, where it can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 1 hour to get a seat. It’s worth the wait IMO no matter what. They always have solid beers on tap, the service is great, and I’ve (so far) never had anything to eat there that wasn’t delicious. They have a lot of offerings for vegan/gluten-free as well, which is nice. Overall, this is a must see for any beer lover visiting Portland, OR.

The brewery tour was top notch; Everything was laid out well and you really got a good sight of a fantastic working brewery. Guides were great. Free samples of BBXXI, Red Chair and some of the standards. Nice gift shop. The Public House was a great place for dinner - good food, good service, and an enormous selection of small-batch experiments. Great atmosphere and located right in the heart of historic Bend. Each is a must-see.

Cozy, log cabin feel with big brewing tanks exposed. You can tell this is nestled in the good ole north west. Busy but not over crowded. Room buzzing with lively conversation. Solid unique brews on tap. Got a chance to try Black Butte XXII, which was nice. Menu filled with above average grub that paired well with the beer. Aesthetically pleasing and world-class beer. Definitely would visit again if in the area.

Visited here in August ’12. Great downtown location, economical parking nearby. Beautiful decor with high ceilings, big windows with a view of passers by, plenty of brass. Had about 15 of their beers on taps with a few specialties like their Black Butte Anniversary. Food and service was outstanding - I had a spent grain pizza. Prices were not outrageous considering the location. Would be a regular stop if I worked in downtown Portland.

This place was absolutely packed and that added to a lively ambiance. Service at the bar and the table was prompt, quick, and well deserving of a nice tip. The Bretterweiss on tap was amazing. Food was excellent. I don’t recall what I ate (unfortunately their website doesn’t have a menu), but it was quite delicious and I’d definitely eat there again. This place is right down the street from Powell’s bookstore. My girlfriend had the Abyss on nitro.

I really enjoyed my visit to this brewery and public house. I had some good beer, and the staff was awesome. Cheers to Deschutes!

Great location in downtown Portland. Great food, great brews, decent prices. One of the better places to go in my opinion when in Portland.
