Our local breweries are an obvious place to start to find the best happy hours in Bend. Here are a few local breweries that offer some solid happy hours. 

Happy Hours Bend Oregon

Boss Rambler Beer Club

Boss Rambler may be one of the coolest places to hang out, watch the action on Galveston Avenue, and drink a beer in Bend. On hot days, its water misters, cold beer and periodic live music prove it.

Happy Hour at Bend Restaurants 

While our breweries are a classic choice, Bend’s happy hour scene has hidden gems offering everything from craft brews to cocktails. Here’s a roundup of non-brewery locations where you can enjoy happy hour in Bend, Oregon.

Bangers and Brews

The best way to grab a cheap drink at Bangers and Brews is to follow their social media and turn on notifications. Happy hour sees $2 off beers, $2 tall boys, and discounts on food and is daily from 2-5 p.m., except for all day happy hour on Tuesdays. Thursdays are trivia nights featuring a different brewery each week with $4 beers, with other special events and evenings sprinkled in. As Bangers and Brews would say, “E-B-D-B — eat bangers, drink beers.”
