Pine Tavern Restaurant

A beautiful 💎 in Bend, Oregon. I wasn't expecting such great service and food from a smaller town coming from Portland. I would Highly recommend This beautiful establishment. To ensure you get the full experience "in the back" reservations are required for busy nights probably mid-day the day before (Fri-Sun/Holidays). They offer free butter rolls with sweet honey butter. More important than the food, was our service from a server named DJ. A 10-year veteran to the restaurant who took our order without a notepad or a flinch. He even got my olives stuffed with Blue cheese for my Dirty Martini. He is what made our evening meal so special⭐️. I would 💯 recommend this establishment from the host, down to the chef and especially their seasoned staff. They also do Prime-Rib specials on Fri/Sat nights which is well marbled, but also very lean and not too fatty(sorry for no 🤳's) . I hope you get to enjoy the experience I had!

We stopped by for happy hour. The drinks were refreshing and perfectly. As for snacks, their creamy hummus and veggies to munch on paired well. Light enough to keep it casual, but tasty enough to make you want seconds. Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Definitely a go-to spot for an easy drink and a bite without breaking the bank. Cheers to that!

We stopped on our travels down the west coast to have the Lauderdale burger with garlic truffle fries and the Prime Rib in a Hoagie roll. Both were very tasty and I would highly recommend them. The servers were very polite and friendly. Well worth the diversion!!

The staff were very nice and friendly. Sat in the bar area to eat. The gin and tonic wasn’t good but the food was good. Very busy with nice outdoor seating.

The shrimp basil pesto pasta was delectable. The chicken fried chicken was crispy yet juicy and a large portion. Beautiful view of the river and nearby the walking path/park area.

Back in say around 1978 I used to work here cleaning the bakery after school when attended Bend high school. It always great to dine here when we are in town. The food and service was excellent. The Pine Tavern has so much history.

I was visiting from California and decided to try Pine Tavern, but was a bit let down to find they had no vegan options on the menu. Thankfully, our server really came through — she communicated with the kitchen and they crafted a custom pasta dish for me that was actually really flavorful and well done. The drinks were solid, and the overall vibe of the place was cozy and welcoming. The staff was super attentive and pleasant throughout our visit. While I hope they consider adding some vegan options in the future, the great service definitely helped make up for the limited menu.

This place is a historic land mark to dine at. My first time here and was very impressed with the food, service and the view! Sat outside with the river behind me! Loved it all!

This place is awesome! Great ambiance, solid staff, a menu to enjoy for everyone and quality items served. Always enjoyed heading in here with a buddy after work, having a couple drinks, appetizers and enjoying the conversation. One of the top spots in the area for me.

Came here for the first time while visiting bend and the service was very "bland". Definitely nothing over and beyond. Unfortunately the food portion of what my husband had (steak fritas) was so small and not worth the price at all. Sweet potatoes fries were amazing and definitely recommended. Honestly we won't be back though.

Met some friends while we were in Bend OR at the Pine Tavern, a favorite place for our friends and a first time for us. We sat out on the patio along the river and what ambience. Our waiter was happy and whitty as he guided us through the wine list, the food was so good and we were having such a good time I forgot to take pics . Nevertheless the food was amazing; Fish and Chips, Pulled Pork Sandwich, Steak Bites, Caesar Salad and Chicken Marsala. And don't forget the Scones with Honey Butter. Go early because it fills up fast if you don't have a reservation, great place, amazing food and fantastic service. Don't miss out on this local gem. Mangiamo!

Full disclosure I didn't eat here. Just walked in because I heard it's a cool atmosphere with the tree growing through it. That was true. Comfy booths, nice views but obstructed by some items and construction. The menu has a great variety and I've heard it's popular especially among an older demographic. I was looking for a popping lunch spot to socialize and it was pretty quiet when I walked in. I would go back but probably with a friend if I lived here. Enjoy!

The line tavern doesn't look like anything from the street, but oh what a treat when you walk inside! The bar is pretty plain, the entire side is a relic with old style wood look and kinda swanky. We stopped in to get out of the heat and have a bevy. Wine, cider and beer were good. The real gem is the restaurant, there are small little dining nooks with curtains for a romantic dining experience. In the main dining room there are two trees that are growing in through the building. So cool! Menu looks inviting. We will need to come back for some food in the future.

Excellent food and service. We stop here every time we're in Bend. Parking is convenient in the lot next door. Highly recommend!

We were turned away at the inn on Christmas because we were late for our reservation . Luckily we found another location to have our CHRISTMAS dinner.

The food quality has gone down hill since the restaurant sold. The scones are not the same. Our food was mediocre at best. What a shame. We always looked forward to eating here when in town.

The food was very good. I had fresh halibut with buerre blanc and zucchini and sweet potato fries. All I recommend. Husband had fish n chips that he says was a little dry but tasty. The service by Kyle was impeccable. The Ambiance is A+ and worth the stop if you're in for a lovely dinner. We were visiting Bend for the first time so appreciated the excellent suggestions for food. The parking is ez and nearby but like many vacation spots is pricy and packed.

Spent the birthday weekend up in bend Oregon. Stumbled into cute little tavern after skiing up in Mt. Bachelor. We ordered wedge salad (shared between my bf and I) it was a good portion for us to split. Then we ordered French dip and Cuban. Both were absolutely delicious and their unique sweet potato fries with pickled onions and cojita cheese was delightful. Must go back when we go back to Bend.

Cute place with an amazing history in Bend. The waitress was so lovely to tell us the history of the restaurant and the trees within its dining room. My partner and I weren't super hungry so we split a bowl of clam chowder, the wedge salad and a Reuben sandwich. The chowder was under seasoned and lacking the star of the soup...clams! I would not order that again. The wedge salad is as crisp and delicious. Finally, the Reuben was tangy and delicious. We really loved it. Though the service was nice and the food pretty good, I don't think I'd return. It was a one and done for me.

The food and the service was amazing! Angie our server was awesome!!! Exceeded our expectations!! The atmosphere, being family friendly, made our experience over the top! We will definitely will be back!!! Highly recommend this place!!

We were going to a show at the Tower Theater and chose to dine at the Pine Street Tavern beforehand. Our server, Taylor, was superb! Our meal was delicious and the patio setting was perfect! I highly recommend Pine Tavern and ask for Taylor as your server!

Chicken sandwich was bland and customer service was poor. Atmosphere was ok - would not return

We do love our classic go-to in downtown Bend, but a recent incident has triggered a negative vibe about Bend, and it affects this lovely establishment because it concerns PARKING. Bend has gone tragically wrong. Somewhere ... someplace .. A bit of history: Bend was once a logging epicenter. It was built by the sweat, blood and tears of hard-working folk with saws, rifles, horses, trains, trucks and buckets of sweat. Now, it's more for green glam 'progressives' who have decided they will have none of that. We are too high-fallutin' for all of that grit. Like work, Like trucks. So.... the City of Bend has instituted a unique parking equation. Take note of the parking spaces on the street. The stalls for vehicles have brackets painted at the end of the partitioning stall lines. If you drive a real truck, not oversized, just a real truck like a Dodge or a Chevy and it projects over this bracketed rear linea foot or two, you will receive a PARKING VIOLATION for IMPEDING THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. Yes, you will. And it will cost you $50. If you are from anywhere else in the world, you will not be familiar with this insane and asinine practice. So, if you think of visiting Bend, don't drive a truck. You won't be able to park it. Also, eat quick and don't shop -- you only have 2 HOURS at most in these spaces! Bend businesses, step up. You will quickly lose the customer base who built you up. And you'll sell out to the ones who will undermine your very soul. Oh, very good Happy Hour Burger and Wedge Salad. Kudos to the staff, especially the very gracious bartender. Great beers on tap.

We had reservations for Father's day evening. The place was bustling. We were seated in the dining area, next to the signature trees. The food was OK. For an appetizer we had the seared ahi, which would have been better served as sashimi I had the fried chicken breast with gravy and potatoes. The potatoes were excellent. There wasn't enough gravy. Husband had prime rib and had to trim off so much fat. Overall food was unremarkable. Service was slow. I requested a box and waited and waited. Asked 3 times. We can say we've eaten there but we won't be back.

The Bloody Mary was fantastic and the Mac n Cheese was the best I've ever had. Creamy and crunchy. I'd hella recommend this place.

It's been going for quite some time. An easy pace, unhurried dining experience is very welcome in today's hurry environment. Our party of four enjoyed our late lunch/early dinner for nearly two hours without feeling rushed. The food is very tasty and huge portions (a rare combination in my opinion). Desserts are enormous! It is spacious with indoor and outdoor seating.

This is our second time and it was lovely! We shared a steak and Cesar salad! Both were very good!!!!! The steak was one of the best flavored steaks we have had! It was my husband's birthday so we ordered the Sky High Mud Pie and again the best mud pie we have had! We were there for lunch on a weekday and it was pleasant and the service was great! We love the view and the 2 pine trees in the middle of the restaurant!

We had a wonderful dinner here. Great list of whiskey options. Parking is minimal if it's busy. Reservation is advised. The table we had was private and perfect for date night. Outdoor seating is an option in the warmer months with views of the park.

We had the best food & service - Ashley was AMAZING and made our family dinner even more perfect The food was delicious, fast, and well paced. Thank you Pine Tavern Restaurant, Ashley, and PTR staff for such a wonderful meal & experience! We'll be back!

Pine Tavern is pretty much the definition of a local landmark having opened in the 1930's. There are already a ton of reviews so I'll be brief. - The space is huge and can hold a lot of folks with a variety of seating types (ADA friendly). Nice back patio when the weather cooperates. - Nice bar, although it's not particularly large. - The menu is similarly not terribly expansive but what they have is typically well prepared. - Good happy hour menu. Pine Tavern is noted for having one of the better happy hours in town. - Service is top tier. - Take some time to look at the historic photos on the walls. Recommended.

On 3/22/24 while wondering around downtown Bend for a place to have dinner at, I just happened to spot this charming looking place on a side street from a block away while walking by and decided to check it out on my second passing. Very nice atmosphere and I was able to get a table right away upon walking in on a busy Friday night. I really enjoyed the Hefeweizen drink and my steak salad as the entree. My friendly server was a chatty gal from Tennessee who recommended to me the scone bread pudding for dessert and it was very delicious. I will definitely be coming back whenever I'm in Bend again overnight or long enough for a meal.

The pine tavern was an okay place for us to take a load off after exploring Bend. This is located right in the heart of Bend and in walking distance to a great brewery and a ton of cute shops. I got the ribs and the French onion soup. They were both great and it server was amazing! Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a classic bar style place.

I came here during lunchtime with two others. The waiter took over ten minutes to bring us our drinks. He spilled one of the drinks of one of us, forgot who had which drink, and forgot what one of three of us had ordered. The outside was nice along the water, although there were yellow jackets. The drinks were not bad, though.

Absolutely fabulous, pt steak salad and chicken marsala so good. And the "scones" with honey butter were amazing. Great service, highly recommend

We visited on Christmas Day. It was very busy since not a lot of restaurants were open. We were able to share a table with two other people so we got seated pretty quickly. They were offering Christmas menu. I ordered Turkey with stuffing. Turkey was not dry at all. A bit chewy and irresistible. Gravy tasted great. I took a to go box since I couldn't finish all of it. It also came with a salad/ soup and a dessert of choice. The salad tasted very refreshing and appetizing. The colorful cherry tomatoes and dried raspberry made it look very festive. We ordered Bourbon Pecan and apple cinnamon for desserts. The bourbon pecan one was way too sweet for me. The Apple cinnamon pie was very nice. Great balance of sour and sweet. I'm very grateful that this restaurant was open while we visited Bend. Made the holiday season warm and cozy.

The food was decent. We ordered the pasta and the prime rib sandwich special. It was ok. The bell peppers overpowered the pasta, and the prime rib sandwich was thin shavings of beef. Great caramelization on the onions, though. I was least impressed with the cleanliness of our dining experience as a cherry stem was laid neatly on the corner of the table as we sat down. The unwrapped fork handle had dried food on the handle, and the bathroom door was held together by strait hinges. You would think with a $100 lunch with beverages and appetizers, the place would have a bit more ambiance and cleanliness.

Food was great however I felt the staff wasn't very friendly. I guess we weren't dressed fancy enough! Food was overpriced

WOW just WOW! What an incredible dining experience!! Food was outstanding but the service....off the charts! We were fortunate to have Danny as our server!! He was amazing! Personality plus and spot on when it came to timing and just overall experience!!

Table not ready at time of reservation - upon being seated, waitress was virtually non-existent until she brought the tab - never once asking if there was something else we would like....we were prepared to order more food. Good food but sketchy service!

What an amazing experience!! The Drinks and food were so wonderful. We had the Mac and cheese was the best my husband has ever had. And the onion soup was mind blowing.

Great cocktails and even better food. The river patio is open and the weather is perfect. Excellent service with a smile making for a perfect place to land on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Highly recommend. I had an espresso martini to start off and it was amazing. The truffle Mac and Cheese is yummers. I opt out of the bacon, but the shrooms are delish.

The service was excellent! Friendly, kind waitress, who was very attentive and kind to our family. The food was also excellent! We had the Alaskan fish and chips, the chicken sandwich, and the kids had chicken strips and the fettuccine Alfredo. All of which, was very good!

We arrived for an early dinner (4pm) but ended up ordering off their Happy Hour menu @ the historic Pine Tavern in Historic Downtown Bend, Oregon. The last time we ate there was almost 20+ years ago so it was nice to eat there as it brought back fond memories for us. I ordered the Pine Tavern Burger and my wife ordered the Shrimp Fajitas (both were on the Happy Hour menu). We inquired about their famous hot scones with honey butter, our server Madison noted they still serve their famous complimentary hot scones with honey butter but wouldn't be served until 5pm. So she said an order would be brought out for our dessert! Such a wonderful customer oriented server! Our meals were delicious but the service made our dining experience much more memorable. Note: rustic and comfortable ambiance, you must check out the Pine Tree growing through the back dining room! Caution: free street parking is limited but there is a parking lot about one block away for $1/hr which is paid at the parking kiosk (the kiosk accepts $1 bills but no change is given back if you want a 1/2 hour. If you use a credit card, there is a 16% additional charge).

The place used to be a great place to have a quiet dinner. The service was great but the food was pretty bad. We've eaten here in the past and the food was great but the night of 12/9/23 it was surprisingly bad. I ordered fish and chips which is usually a home run here but this time it had no flavor/seasoning. Tasted overcooked and cooked in old oil. My wife had the Mac n cheese and it was delicious. I hope this was a one time issue but I may wait awhile to have it again.

Excellent service and food. Sat on the patio overlooking Mirror Pond in downtown Bend. The Prime rib was cooked to perfection and the wedge salad and chowder excellent. Highly recommend!

Great location, great food and great service. We were engaged here 31 years ago and come back regularly

Best Fish and Chips I've had. Not just good or great, best ever. Right on the River, can stay inside or sit on the deck, same great view. Great vibe inside. Server handled about 10 tables and never skipped a beat. Very impressive. I seriously doubt reviewers on this site when their rating is nearly a full star below most other sites.

Stopped in here for dinner and cocktails. Located along the riverbank of the Deschutes River, this restaurant is a nice place for any dining occasion with an amazing view. The staff was very nice and attentive. They have a great dining and bar menu with daily drink and food specials. I had the Pulled Pork Sandwich with a bottle of Oregon Pinot Noir. Both were terrific. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

Real nice friendly people good food . Had private booths also total plus! Steak fish or soup salad options good ginger beer for those nonalcoholic drinks! Also premium spirits too!

I Ordered the Chicken Marsala over a weekend visit to Bend, and the chicken was gummy, little to no sauce and overpriced. I don't mind paying that much for an exceptional meal, but this meal was anything but. I make this dish at home and know how it should taste. Won't be back if that is representative of their food.

Great prime rib 5++!! Chocolate martini, made me order 2 Great bar service! Hours are short, Bend closes early! Closed at 8pm, thankfully we were able to drink our drinks past closing time.

After a couple days in Bend, OR, I am left feeling impressed with the town but disappointed in the food. Until. Now. I couldn't decide between this place and the Bend Brewery. I really wanted the fish tacos at the Brewery. But after talking to the wait staff, the tacos were taken off the menu. And the vide wasn't what I thought. So I wandered over a few doors down to the Pine Tavern. I am so glad this happened. I just had the most delicious French onion soup and the biggest tastiest Alaskan Cod fish and chips. As if I wasn't incredibly full after all of that, I ordered the Scone Bread Pudding with bourbon sauce. This was the most delicious bite of deliciousness ever. The staff is friendly. The vibe is a chill bar with good music that's not too loud and the walls are plastered with original pictures. My diet is destroyed but my spirit and stomach are full. Go here asap.

The folks at our hotel recommended this restaurant, so we went there for dinner on Thursday evening last week. The restaurant was charming, the service was good, but the food was not worth the money. The seafood pasta was bland, but the steak was terrible. First, the steak came overcooked. Then, when we mentioned that to the waiter, he insisted on taking it back and giving me a new one. The new one was less cooked, but it was thin and full of fat and gristle - it was the worst steak I've ever eaten, but I didn't dare complain again. At least the baked potato and veggies were okay. I would never go there again.

I hope that our experience was unique, otherwise how could this restaurant call itself iconic and have been in business since 1936? But resting on your laurels and dismissing extraordinarily poor service cannot define a successful business model for very long. The waitress forgot to "hit send" when she took our order. At some point she remembered and came to tell us of her error. That can be forgiven, but extreme vigilance to make sure that attention to our table should then be first and foremost in her mind for the rest of the meal. It was not, and no offer of apologies or recompense were offered. It was a miserable experience. Hope you don't have the same. Or don't go there, it's loud, overrated, and average food.

"Keep it simple, stupid!" is often the best advice one to get and give to a restaurant and it's patrons. Pine Tavern gets it. It is just this: A Tavern. Rustic. Warm. Dim lighting. Quiet, but not silent. The game is on to help bridge the transitions between conversations and transactions. Serves: Tavern "comfort" food. Well cooked. Presented as it should be in a tavern. The service: No nonsense, straight forward wait staff that simply does their job well. The waiter was as efficient as they come. Attentive, but not at all "how is everything" aggressive. Sometimes. Often times. It just comes down to the basics. A traditional dining out experience done in the expected sequence. This was such a time. This was well welcomed and appreciated. We had the garlic Fries as an app. I had a cup of French soup. Amazing. Then main coursed the Fish & Chips. Others in my fam had the Mac & Cheese, and Burgers. Comfort food to the core. Bottom line: My family and I were able to unwind, exhale, actually talk, eat and leave rested and with fully bellies. This was a Plan C or D (to be honest) that became a surprisingly good, well welcomed, diamond-in-the -rough, happy-accident.

Pricey and not great food. I got chicken Marsala and didn't eat the chicken, none of us were really impressed and for the price I would expect more. Outside looked nice, but it was full so I didn't really get to see it. Really enjoyed the bread they give out at 5pm, as well my espresso martini was good.

Our grandchildren love the scones and honey butter. We do too. Good value. If you go for lunch in good weather, the river views from the outside seating are very pleasant.
