2 Best Nightlife in Central Oregon, Oregon

Bend Brewing Company

A long-standing brewery, founded in 1995, BBC (as it is affectionately called by locals) offers around a dozen different types of beers on tap. A park-like outdoor seating area overlooking the Deschutes River makes a fantastic venue for regular live music performances.

Crux Fermentation Project

Housed in a converted auto repair shop, this experimental brewery has no flagship beer. Instead, the brewmaster, a Deschutes Brewery alum, produces an ever-changing variety of pale ales and other craft brews, all of which are on tap in the lively tasting room. Live entertainment, on-site food carts, and a sprawling patio make this a popular hangout in the summer months.
