Sunriver Brewing Company

It's been a few years since I've been here, like maybe 8-10 years. Not sure what beers I had at the tine but enjoyed them. The place was like a log cabin in a V-shaped lot that was not good access to it. Beer and food were good though a little on the expensive side compared to some of the other breweries we went to. Weren't many people there midafternoon when we attended the brewery. Overall good experience, would go back.

Freestanding rustic brewpub in a mixed use complex call Sunriver Village. Straight bar opposite the entrance seats about a dozen with tables about the room and a small patio on the right side. 16 beers on tap. Professional bartender. Southwest Rice Bowl was excellent, albeit on the pricey side.

I really like SR’s beers. Been to the pub in on Galveston to eat and drink a few times, but not the one in Sunriver. Mostly because it is in Sunriver and there is not a whole lot of food and drink offerings there (aka always busy).

Anyway, we got in yesterday after waiting an hour. What I really appreciated was they had an app that you could track your place in line. You would also get a text when your seat was ready. So this allowed to browse the shops (boys really liked Riverscape Arcade) while we waited because very tiny waiting area at the pub.

Beers - on point as usual. They also had a guess cider on tap and wine for the non beer drinkers. Had a cooler of some of their beers to go.

Food - very tasty and decent sized portions. Not the biggest menu. Prime rib on Fridays! Decent kid’s menu. Their pulled pork (my wife got the Mac and cheese with pulled pork) sure has a signature…cinnamon? Interesting. I can see this as being off putting.

Visited their location on Galveston on a Sunday during the pandemic. We sat indoors. They were moderately busy.

They had 12-18 taps, a bunch of their standards and a bunch of special stuff. We mostly had small pours of special stuff, barrel aged stouts with stuff added. I did have a glass of their hef, which I thought was decent. Table service, which was pretty responsive and friendly.

We also had a pretzel, and it was really good. Vibe was fairly typical brewery, but maybe a bit more trendy than some.

 

 

 

Located in the Sunriver Village, stopped by the other day for lunch and a brew with the wife and sister (and her husband).

The Sunriver pub is a decent size affair, with a nice size patio area as well. In the summer time, the village can get pretty packed with tourista types, and so to no great surprise, this place can get pretty busy (half hour to an hour waits for a table are fairly typical). The vibe is fairly low key, with a few flat screen TV's strewn around with various sporting events on. There didn't seem to be anything very distinctive about the pub otherwise, though it seemed to have something of a modernistic vibe. There's a modest size bar area holding I think around 10 seats (straight back from the front door I believe), along with all the tables in the dining room and out on the patio.

In terms of beer, I think there were some 10 different selections, which consisted of the 3 core beers (IPA, rippin ale and something else), and then a variety of seasonals (DIPA, TIPA, ESB, porter and weizen, among other things). I got the pineapple haze IPA (yet another NE style IPA), and it was pretty good. I think I might still prefer the vicious mosquito, but it was an enjoyable IPA for sure. Also tried the TIPA (batch 1000 I think), which was OK. It's not going to make me forget notorious or younger any time soon, but it wasn't terrible. Service was decent. The server seemed personal and pretty quick, which was a good thing, considering the lunch hour crowd. Food was also a cut above your basic pub grub I thought, and everyone at our table enjoyed their selections.

Shrug. If this place was located in Portland or Bend I'm not sure how often I'd stop in, but it was a welcome oasis in Sunriver. Can absolutely see myself stopping in again the next time I'm in Sunriver.

Good little brew pub. Original, authentic. Good location close to all the foot traffic and life in Bend, OR. The beer is some of the best in Bend. Love there IPA's

 

Bacon wrapped pineapple, say 'yes' very time.

Very good beers, except food and outstanding service

 

I love this place. The staff works their buns off to provide customers with a Great experience characterized by excellent brews and very good food. You can't go wrong.
