The Best New Restaurants in Bend, Oregon — Winter 2023 | Eater Portland
"The owners of Barrio and Shimshon are leveling up the social scene in Bend with a sultry look, transforming the long-beloved Barrio into Bar Rio. Here, friends gather in dark corners to share pork carnitas-topped plantain jibaritos, tender fried cauliflower atop beet labneh, or the best paella in town. Bar Rio is also a strong stop for happy hour, which runs from 3 to 6 p.m. No reservations or minors at any time." - Barb Gonzalez
