"Sunriver Brewing Company opened its doors in Bend in early 2016 on what has become a busy stretch of Northwest Galveston Avenue. Since then, its award-winning beers have been a draw to this lively pub. The Rippin, a Northwest pale ale, is an excellent match for a giant beer pretzel with beer cheese and beer mustard. Other elevated pub fare on the menu include the wagyu sliders and the popular General Tso fried cauliflower in a sweet garlic-ginger sauce. Sunriver offers year-round outdoor dining in a heated, covered bridge replica or around shaded outdoor fire pits on the recently extended back patio. The brewery also has a more community-oriented location on the east side, with an indoor play area for kids and ample outdoor seating." - Barb Gonzalez, Jeffrey Stull
