Best Craft Breweries in Bend
Bend, Oregon — updated August 22, 2026
Eight Bend-area breweries and taprooms ranked by how settled their reputations are, from a 2,400-review downtown standby to a small taproom with thinner numbers.
Listings verified
Bend's breweries cluster in two rough zones: the downtown blocks around NW Bond and NW Brooks, and the west side and industrial pockets off Galveston and Century Drive. Nearly every one on this list sits at a 4.5 rating, so the useful question is not who scores highest but whose score has been tested by the most people. That is how the order below works, with the review counts stated plainly.
1. Deschutes Brewery Bend Public House
This is the most heavily reviewed brewery on the list by a wide margin: a 4.5 rating across more than 2,400 reviews, which makes it the most settled number in Bend. The public house sits at 1044 NW Bond St, in the middle of the downtown walking grid, so it absorbs both visitors and locals in volume. A rating that holds at 4.5 through that much traffic says the kitchen and the taps stay consistent on busy nights, which is the harder test. Expect downtown parking to be the limiting factor rather than the wait itself, and plan for the dinner rush to be the fullest stretch.
2. UPP Liquids Pub, and Fermentations (of Immersion Brewing)
A 4.5 rating across more than 1,300 reviews puts this second only to Deschutes for weight of evidence. It sits at 550 SW Industrial Way, in the Box Factory area southwest of downtown rather than on the main brewery walk, so it draws people who came deliberately. The brewing side operates as Immersion Brewing under the UPP Liquids pub name, which is worth knowing if you are searching for one and finding the other. Off-street parking in the Industrial Way lots makes it an easier stop than the downtown pubs if you are driving.
3. 10 Barrel Brewing West Side Bend
The Galveston Avenue location holds a 4.5 rating across more than 1,100 reviews, enough volume to call the score reliable rather than provisional. It is on the west side at 1135 NW Galveston Ave, a short walk from the Newport Avenue shops and across the river from downtown, which makes it a natural second or third stop on a walking route. Galveston fills early on warm evenings, so arriving before the standard dinner hour is the difference between sitting down and standing around.
4. Bend Brewing Company
The lowest rating here at 4.3, but across more than 1,300 reviews, which is more than most of the higher-scored places on this list can claim. A 4.3 that has survived that many visits is a firmer signal than a 4.7 from a few dozen. It sits at 1019 NW Brooks St, one block off the Deschutes Brewery block and closer to the river, which makes the two easy to pair on foot. Worth the stop if you want a downtown brewery that is not the busiest one on the street.
5. Silver Moon Brewing
A 4.5 rating from 526 reviews: fewer than the leaders, but past the point where a handful of opinions could move it. Silver Moon is at 24 NW Greenwood Ave, on the downtown edge along the Greenwood corridor, which puts it within walking distance of the Bond and Brooks Street breweries without being in the same crush. The Greenwood location means street parking rather than a lot, so budget a few minutes for it on weekend nights.
6. GoodLife Brewing Company
Rated 4.5 across 484 reviews, a body of feedback close to Silver Moon's and consistent with it. GoodLife operates off SW Century Drive, the road that runs southwest out of town toward the mountain, which makes it a logical stop on the way back rather than a downtown crawl entry. Because it is away from the walking grid, it tends to be the brewery people drive to on purpose. Check hours before making the trip out, since it does not get the same passing foot traffic as the downtown pubs.
7. Boneyard Beer
A 4.5 rating, but from 201 reviews, the thinnest evidence base on this list. That is enough to be promising and not enough to be proven, so treat the score with more caution than the numbers above it. The address is 37 NW Lake Pl, in the northwest pocket near the Old Mill side of the Colorado Avenue area, listed as a restaurant rather than a bar, which suggests food carries more weight here than at a pure taproom. Go if you are already nearby rather than making a special trip on the strength of the rating alone.
8. Sunriver Brewing Co. - Sunriver Pub
The strongest numbers in this group after Deschutes, a 4.5 across more than 1,600 reviews, with one caveat: the pub is in Sunriver, not Bend. The address is 57100 Beaver Dr, roughly a half hour south of town, so this is a drive and a designated driver rather than a walkable addition to a downtown crawl. Ranked last here for that reason and not for quality, since the rating and the volume behind it are among the best on the list. Worth building into a day heading south rather than an evening in town.
