GoodLife Brewing Company

Great “backyard” area with a playground for kids, turf, and a gas fire pit. The inside is a little smaller than others but not terrible. They had their own and a pizza food truck. We tried the pizza and it was good. Beer wasn’t bad at all.

Thank you, Goodlife! We were in town visiting and stopped in for lunch. It was delicious! The grilled bacon and mac n cheese was unique and to die for. The spicy turkey sandwich and side salad were so fresh and tasty. The beer, of course, refreshing. Our waiter was amazing and talked us into the stout brownie dessert to share, which was sinfully delicious. A to go box was needed. We left very happy and will be back again.

We visited GoodLife Brewing today and had such a great experience. The kids had a blast on the playground and loved snacking on the happy hour food. Mom and Dad enjoyed trying a few dishes and some delicious beers too. The whole setup is super family friendly with plenty of space to spread out, a fenced play area, lots of drink options for all ages, and a relaxed atmosphere. Happy hour runs Sunday to Thursday from 2 to 6, and the menu has something for everyone. Really easy, fun place to hang out as a family. Definitely recommend stopping in if you’re in Bend!

Great little brewery, with a nice variety of beers on tap. Friendly service, plenty of parking. Indoor and outdoor seating. Not a very lively atmosphere or crowded when I stopped by Saturday afternoon. Beers to go plus usual swag. Food looked good.

Had not been here in a few years! Great atmosphere, very friendly server, fun merch and the food was very tasty! I asked for some logo stickers but they were out so she gave me some cool keg stickers!

Would do a 5 star review, Came in with a group of friends and the kiddos, having an amazing time. The brisket sliders were delicious. deserves 5 stars hands down. Have not had brisket that tender in a long time. The only bad thing about the evening was the bartender. I saw and overheard him yelling at the kitchen crew for what seemed like no real reason. Just absolute disgrace to the company. It left a bad impression on my overall experience. I’m glad the kids didn’t oversee.

Terrific gin. This is a perfect location for me; great beer for husband and delicious gin distilled on site. You know it's good when I order a second. Great patio area, dog friendly and additional comfy seating to move around the tables. Very friendly service. Highly recommend and a definite addition to future visits to Bend.

Today was our first visit to Goodlife brewery. The dinner special was a grilled cheese and brisket sandwich. It was out of this world, and the Cadillac margeritta made by Chris was by far the best margeritta I have had in a long time!! We will definitely be back.

Great beer, great service, great food. Real comfortable place to sit and have a brew. I moved to Bend 12 years ago and this was one of the first places I found. It impressed me then and still does. Say "Hi" to bartender "Chris."

We came in on our Bend beer crawl. Small tasting room up front and huge outdoor space in the back with games, a food truck and potties. Great area for kids and dogs and relaxing while enjoying your food and beverages. The beer was good, service was excellent.

Such an incredible brewery in Bend. While there are a ton out there, this one is special. From the staff to the food to the beautiful backyard. This is a must check out while you are in the area. Amazing beer!

We just had a wonderful lunch experience in the pub. The chili was the chef's personal recipe and the turkey wrap was filling and flavorful. "Buddy", the chef came from the kitchen to share cuisine offerings. Definitely, a place to return to soon.

Our last brewery visit in Bend was GoodLife Brewing Company, one that was special to me. This brewery was the creator of the Best of Craft Beer Awards, a large commercial beer competition that has since become independent. I wanted to check out the brewery itself, so we decided to have a late lunch here and were glad we came hungry. It's located in a little business plaza that felt commercial/industrial but still welcoming for outdoor fun with other businesses nearby. It was cold that day, but you could clearly see on a nice day the big garage doors would be open giving the whole taproom fresh air. The bar is big and shaped like an L along the back wall, with a door heading to the brewery itself behind. Mug club mugs were hanging everywhere, a great sign that it's a local favorite. We sat at a high top and each had a giant flight of 6 beers, plus all the food- I had a delicious sandwich and salad with fresh produce. Everything was delicious and this place ended up being a big hit. The bartenders were welcoming and super attentive the whole time, keeping us fed and laughing. Merchandise is also available. We had a great time here; if you're in Bend for the beer, this is a must-visit place.

I got the bacon Mac grilled cheese and it was so good. Beer is great and staff were super friendly. Would definitely come back.

IPA's are great. Was able to taste the one stout they had which was pretty decent. Great outdoor seating area with fire pit. Wish it was a little closer to the register. Service was great.

You don't have to choose between great beers and great food! This place has it all. Get a flight! With a flight, you can get 6 different beers of your choice. One of the beers that I had was the Orange DreamZwickel. I loved it! If you're a fan of orange soda, you'd love this too. It's so orange forward and refreshing. I also got their wings (in sweet ass Habanero) and they were good! I didn't think that 6 wings would be enough, but I was surprised that it was actually more satisfying than I expected. 8 would be better but at least I wasn't that hungry at the end of 6.

We came here on a Sunday with our dog. We ordered food and a beer. We sat out back which is a nice large grassy area with lots to space to sit and tables available. When ordering the waitress was very friendly and helpful in picking out food. We got a wrap, chicken Cesar salad, and pretzel. The pretzel was amazing!! One of the best of my life honestly. Soft and delicious on the inside with a lightly salted outer crust that was so good. The salad was good and have great flavor, as well as the wrap. It all tasted very fresh. This is a great place to grab a drink, have a bite to eat and catch up with friends. We will be back!

Always our go to first stop in Bend! Quick river or bike from the river bend area. The Beach Life POG style pale sipped great on a warm summer day. The chicken wrap and pretzel filled me up very satisfied. A top brewery in PNW

Had the best time with Zane!! Did a beer flight, Huckleberry Ginger cider and ate burnt ends. We highly recommend this place, every beer was perfect and Zane and the staff made it so great that next time we are in town we will definitely be back.

We tried 2 flights of beer. 6 tastings per flight was generous for $12. I liked the beer choices but nothing really resonated that I wanted to take some home. The pretzel was fresh and yummy. BBQ chicken wings were big wings. A meal for the two of us. Sticky and messy but good. The staff were very generous and offered to turn on the fireplace it outside just for us.

Great food Fantastic beer especially "Sweet As" Pacific Ale The staff really makes you welcome and a super fun Beer Garden 5Stars

One of the best Hazys I've ever had!! Such a fun place for the family too. We enjoyed our visit and look forward to going back!

Great outdoor space. Can only order from outdoor bar with limited selection if you choose to sit in the yard. Still great beer and had another food truck for food options. Dog friendly but not in the pub where there is larger beer selection and swag for purchase.

This has a great outdoor area! They have an okay selection of beer and food. Tried the nachos, they were okay, but probably wouldn't get them again. I'll probably come back and try them again, to see if it's any better the next time.

Well, this place was SO GOOD we came back twice! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming! Both times we drank and ate! The food is so good! The Grown up Grill Cheese was a favorite as was the Turkey Bacon Pesto sandwich. The Mac and Cheese was good too. The beer was great too! It's safe to say, the next time in Bend, we are coming back! Definitely recommend!!

Marie is a killer bartender! She recommended all of the good stuff! I definitely recommend the beach life if you don't mind a sweeter beer! But her gin twist with their new gin is also life changing! Thanks!

We loved the brews here and the scene! It was a wonderful family atmosphere. We got the nachos which were unique and super yummy. Lucky for us there was bike parking and we took advantage of the fire pits to warm up. Mostly self serve.

I love Good Life and the people working there and I've been going there for years. Recently I sat at the bar and it was very busy with outside dining coming in to order drinks and food. I sat there for 26 minutes without any service. Again, I understand that they were busy but when you are sitting in front of the servers and bar tender, I think it would've been good to maybe acknowledge the fact that I was there and asked if I wanted a drink or food or maybe just acknowledge the fact i was sitting there. I hope that Bend restaurant and bar owners and staff realize that the locals are here ALL year and support the local businesses all year. Tourists are great but they are temporary. I'll be back but it was a very bad look for Good Life.

Great beer and friendly service. My first choice for Bend beer! It's not too big and it feels just right

The menu is excellent. All the beers are excellent and the food was really good. The atmosphere is fun and friendly. I will definitely return the next time I'm in Bend. We will definitely be back!

Great place for great beer and food!! Great for all occasions! Look forward to going back.

Food is pretty solid, beer is fantastic and the outdoor area is always welcomed. They also don't have a problems with kids running around like some other places in town.

We went away for the weekend and once we parked at the hotel in downtown Bend we didn't wand to start our vehicle. Happy to say this was a walkable distance from the Old Mill District and we highly recommend. Beer is excellent with many choices from IPA to stouts. The food was equally as good. Our server/bartender could have been better as he only half listened to us. Having to repeat 3 times that we needed silverware as he went back & forth wasn't nice. I think he may have been the manager, he seemed distracted by something?? Anyways, don't miss this place when in Bend!

If you're looking for great beer, food/snacks and a place for your four legged friend to join you enjoying life... look no further than the #GoodLife brewing. We had awesome craft brews, a great outdoor eating and chill area and some decent bites. So glad that one of the many Bend breweries were still open and operating during this COVID craziness. We stumbled upon them on a bike ride. I'd tried a few of their brews in the past but it was awesome checking out their home turf and gettin to know their team. Definitely made for a more loyal follower and plan to hit them up on our next Bend trip!

One of our absolute favs and must stops when in Bend! Great beer and amazing outdoor seating!

I'm glad my husband took me there! I've been wanting to check it out for a very long while! I just love their macaroni and cheese! I ended up buying three Good Life t-shirts! The people were really nice there! It was a lovely place! We sat at a table and I ordered a big serving of Mac and cheese! It was very delicious! I'm hoping I can go there again someday soon!

Friendly staff and delicious beer! Perfect for Aprés ski. The Pass Stout was super smooth.

I love helles lagers, so when I found out that Goodlife has it on tap Bavarian Lager), I had to stop in. I had my dog in the car on what was a very hot day, but fortunately Goodlife has an outdoor beer garden that was perfect for dogs. A big expanse of grass with lots of picnic tables and umbrellas, we chilled for an hour or two with the family. The beer was good and the ambiance was great.

Marie was the most helpful server! Walked me through the entire menu until I landed on something that was delicious! So bummed sippy cup isn't a to go beer yet but I can't wait to support it! Also amazing job on the gin !!! I had to take one of those to go! Also to reiterate Marie was so amazing , you've made a life long customer out of me!

We love the beer so much we bought some to bring home. Good Life POG! Buy 3 6-packs and you get one free for $30! Thank you for my new favorite POG!

Another awesome brewery. Hubby is a comatose fan. He tried sincoe road and he liked it as well. I'm not a beer drinker so I tried their stubborn mule instead. It kicks like a mule that's for sure! Loved it! One more thing I loved...the roast pork belly! It was crazy good. Dip it in both in the bbq sauce and sweet and spicy sauce...,yummy! Wish they served it with rice(haha). Good food, good drinks, awesome service Local Thursday special....what else can you ask for? We'll be back!

On a recent trip to Bend we stopped by for a beer and to meet some friends. Great Beer Selection and both an indoor and outdoor area. We choose to sit indoors only because they offered their whole beer line up inside and not so many choices outside. Food is available and has vegetarian as well as meat options. Staff was super nice and were right on when you needed a beer. We enjoyed our time here!

Love this spot! I've always been a fan of GoodLife brews and hadn't had a chance to go to the actual brewery until last weekend. The beer is fantastic but even more impressive was our food. I was there with a group of 12 people and we shared a bunch of the chicken wing appetizers. It was some of the best chicken wings I've had at a restaurant... especially the buffalo. Seemed like they were smoked, had a really nice smoky and peppery flavor you don't normally get with traditional buffalo wings. SO good. And then of course you can't go wrong with pulled pork grilled cheese! I would've liked a little more cheese and a little less pork, but really can't complain. Awesome spot for groups, they served us very quickly, and amazing beer and food. It doesn't get much better.

Incredible service and brew knowledge from the bartender / manager. The food is the best we've had in bend since moving here 4 months ago ( we tried adult Brie grilled cheese, salad, spicy chicken sandwich on Texas toast, pretzel/beer cheese and Mac and cheese). We also tried tried the gin that they distill in house and we bought a bottle to take home. We've been to 3/4 the breweries here and good life is for sure #1. Great service, food, vibes! 10/10

Staff was super friendly, even with dumb out-of-towner questions like "where's your front door?" Pro tip: the entrance to the pub is at the far end of the building from the beer garden. There are lots of signs, but not a lot of clarity on where to go. I had the bacon chicken pesto wrap and a few descender IPAs. Food was delicious and the IPAs were surprisingly smooth given their high gravity. They have a nice beer garden, where there was a fun mix of folks, families, dogs, and games. A great place to hang out in a heat wave. If I lived in Bend, I could see hanging out here a lot. Now if I could just convince them to open a brewery near me...

We had a great time here trying some of their beers! All that we tried were really enjoyable, and we LOVED the pretzel appetizer. I don't know what the cheese dip they gave us was made of, but it was some creamy deliciousness topped with a ground mustard and it paired perfectly with the soft pretzel. The service was also really great. Our waiter and the other bartender were very respectful of COVID precautions, while still making us comfortable and answering questions/requests/fun we were having. Thanks for the good time, good food, and good beer!

We enjoyed their outdoor seating on a Saturday afternoon after a hike. We ordered outside and I loved the pineapple cider while my husband enjoyed the lager that was on tap. We ordered the pretzel and nachos. We luckily found a picnic table in a shady spot and sat there with our dogs. The tables are very spaced out which allowed us to enjoy our second eating out experience since covid started. The pretzel was delicious and had a good amount of salt. It's not buttery but it was still great, especially with the cheesy garlic sauce. The nachos were ok, but we would not order them again. I would have enjoyed more beans and cheese added to the middle layer-it's a giant stack of nachos but only the top layer is full of cheese and salsa. Really pleased with what they've done to help keep everyone safe!

The food was perfect for a nice casual lunch - we had the chicken caesar wrap and the brisket grilled cheese. Would get both again!

Great outdoor space with a giant fire pit and picnic tables. Giant wings that are smoked and messy as they should be. Could have used a little crisp on the them to be perfect. Note the buffalo is not spicy. Good beer, but everyone knows that.

GoodLife is well-reviewed, so I'll be brief. - Nice bar area. The bar itself is medium-sized and easy to sit at. The pub seems famous for their outdoor area, which is pleasant with good weather but too prone to be overrun by rugrats for my taste. Food: - Not the most vegetarian-friendly place but there are a few choices. - BLT, solid example of the classic sandwich, served with a beer bread that is better than most. - Wings, whole wings with Buffalo sauce. Well prepared, sauce is spicy yet not too much. I will say that I prefer wings that are cut up rather than served whole. Much less messy. - Winter Harvest salad with roasted beets (a Bend staple, it seems) is good. - Pub pretzel served as a ring, very tasty. Beer: - Good IPAs and brown ale. Their flagship brew, the Descender, is a fine example of Bend-style IPA. The 29er similarly a good brown ale. - Not loud. You can actually have a conversation here. - Friendly, prompt service at the bar. Recommended.

Goodlife brewing discriminates against service dogs, I walk into GoodLife yesterday evening with my service dog. The hostess/waitress at the front says "is he your service dog" I reply, "yes, he is my medical service dog" she says "what tasks is he trained to do"..."help me when I need it" I replied...she says "what specific task though"...I said "I'm not giving you any information about my medical record, period"...I said "all's you need to know is he is my medical service.dog and.not a comfort animal or a pet"... She does the "attitude" put her hand up and walked away not seating me but left behind the "gates" 5 feet inside the front door. I walked out and called to speak with the manager, goes to voicemail (even though the taproom was less than half full), I called again 10 minutes later got ahold of the manager, told him I was just discriminated against by his hostess--he cuts me off and starts yelling at me-- I just continued saying what I had to say, let him know I filed a formal complaint with the ADA and that his employees don't have a right to have any information from guests regarding any health conditions they have, PERIOD, then "god bless you, have a nice day" This is how good life brewing harassed disabled combat veterans, harass them at the gate, no way would I EVER trust food made by someone who wants to harass me about a LEGAL MEDICAL SERVICE DOG PATHETIC!

Not a bad brewery... there just was different ones in Bend that I enjoyed more. They also serve food here but we didn't order any of that so I can't critique that part of what they have to offer. We went here on a holiday weekend and once again we were surprised with how quick we got seated despite there being tons of people here. It probably helped not needing a table... we took the bar. Steve got the Pass Stout and I got one of their beers from their Session series. I got the Tie One On session. While the beer were enjoyable enough neither of us were particularly bowled over with what we got. It was just okay. The service was pretty good... fairly friendly which is good. Perhaps a return trip to try their food is in order because what we saw being ordered looked delicious!

Was excited to eat and drink here on a vacation from California. Arrived and was promptly able to order and got our drinks at the bar. That was the only positive from this place. We waited for over 90 minutes for our food to arrive and ended up asking to be refunded our food as we were tired of waiting. The customers before us promptly received their food. The customer after us also received his meal the second time I went to the bar to get an update on our food. If you're in a hurry or not as patient as we are - I would not recommend stopping here. 90 minutes is a ridiculous wait for a pretzel, a wrap, and a grilled cheese.

We love this place. It's so delicious. We had their pulled pork grilled cheese. I would have to say it is the best that I've had so far. And Oregon having so many street venders, this is the stop to go to. Thank you for having us!

Good food and a great vibe - the nachos with carnitas were delicious . The outdoor biergarten was good for kids and dogs.

Great food! Love the grown-up grilled cheese. Nice outdoor space to eat or drink when the weather is nice

Food was amazing. Have lived in Bend for about 7 years and wanted to try something new. Was not disappointed!!!!! If you have not eaten here it is a must!!!
