Boneyard Pub Goes Beyond Classic Pub Fare
Poke bowls and Cubano sandwiches might not be typical brewery fare, but Boneyard Beer in Bend has always done things a bit differently. From its unconventional beginnings (with a “boneyard” of old brewing equipment sourced from 13 different breweries nationwide), to its distinctive grunge aesthetic and its anti-pub pub food, Boneyard Pub stands apart.
Not Your Classic Brewery Ambiance
Boneyard Beer, which started brewing in 2010, opened its current location on Division Street in 2018 and established itself as more than just a brew pub. With an impressive array of more than 20 taps, they serve clean, balanced beers perfectly complemented by a menu of delicious cuisine. So delicious the pub’s motto is, “Come for the beer, stay for the food.”
The large pub offers three distinct areas to suit your mood: its beer hall, a cozy private corner bar with plush seating, or an expansive wrap-around patio complete with fireplaces and outdoor heaters, and fantastic views of Pilot Butte. Nestle up and browse the menu; it’s guaranteed to offer a few surprises.
The Anti-Pub Pub Food
The Thai Peanut Bowl is a fusion of flavors and textures, featuring pickled onions, crisp cucumbers, edamame, fluffy rice, mixed greens, tofu fried to perfection, and a medley of cilantro and basil. Topping it all off is a generous drizzle of deliciously spicy peanut sauce. You can also swap for chicken as your protein choice.
The Cubano sandwich is a must-try for anyone craving Latin flavors. It boasts marinated crispy pork, black forest ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, yellow mustard and mayo, all tucked into a warm hoagie. The balance of flavors is just right, with the savory pork and ham complementing the zing of the pickles and creamy Swiss cheese.
The appetizers and side orders are not an afterthought. Consider adding a side order of the polenta tots to your meal. These little nuggets are made from creamy polenta and served with a togarashi sauce, offering a hint of spice. And, of course, one of Boneyard’s exceptional craft beers is a must-have addition to the experience.
