San Simon - Bend

There are lots of places to eat in Bend. Do not miss this one. OK, it is cheese, and sausage, and divine green beans charcuterie (yes, I had to look up that word), but it doesn 't really capture what is happening at San Simón. This is one of those places that you can tell they are doing it on purpose. Everything is done right. And the drinks are made to perfection I highly recommend the Executive Lounge, although When Icarus Strikes was tempting. We sat at a four chair table which doubles as a fire pit if the weather is brisk. These are placed in an alley as are four or five other closeted booths, that give you that, I am in a cool place in Spain or Italy feeling. The bar it self is made for the witness protection program or an illicit tryst. Quite dark and sexy. Service was perfect; Taylor the manager, came out to say hello and get our second drink order. Don 't miss it.

Best. Neighborhood. Ever. It’s literally in a brick-lined alley, but the drink selection (mocktails next to staples like gin juice) and variety of bar food (including vegan dessert) make it a cut above the rest. Taylor, a consummate professional, managed to mix hipster helpful. I should have gotten a greyhound, but that is my only regret! Indoor ambiance or dog-friendly patio means a lil’ something for everyone. ?️ #perfectday

Our favorite place in downtown Bend. Charcuterie boards are fantastic and the service is as good as it gets. The whole staff is friendly and most helpful. Oh, and the Spanish sardines are beyond amazing!

Simple Bend dive. Great environment. A good example of making something out of nothing. Bar tender was great.

The drinks are wonderful and the atmosphere is fantastic. I especially enjoy sitting outside. I would give it a perfect score of 10 out of 10.
