Bar Rio - Bend, Oregon

My boyfriend and I stopped in here for a quick bite while exploring downtown Bend. The service was great— the staff was on-point and attentive to our needs. It was Happy Hour, so I had the tamarind whiskey sour and my boyfriend had a margarita. Both were delicious! I especially enjoyed the whiskey sour. It was so fresh and lemony.

For food, we tried their current special: the middle earth flat bread. It was very tasty! I loved the goat cheese. I would definitely eat it again!

My husband and I came here for lunch, and we had to stay for dinner because we wanted to try the dinner menu as well.
Everything from the cocktails and food, to the music, service, and atmosphere, was absolutely amazing. We tried the gorgonzola pasta from the lunch menu and their cuban sliders from the dinner menu, and both were phenomenal.
The flavors are wild and we have a plan to come back and work our way through the menu to try all the different cocktails and dishes.
Can't wait for our next date night!

Had a great time at Bar Rio with live music and late night happy hour! Great margs and tapas! The tamale with egg is so good, going to have to try that at home!

We stopped in just for a drink. They have a great cocktail menu, almost too many options to choose from. We did not try any of the food as we already ate, but we will likely be back to try. Their happy hour menu has some great deals so make sure to check that out.

We had such high spirits coming in, and low spirits leaving. After hearing phenomenal things about this place, we were so excited to try it out. The short haired gal that took our drink and food orders acted from the get go like it was an inconvenience to serve us. We ordered drinks, chips and dip, and our lunch. As for the drinks, I was shocked to find out at the end that each iced tea is $5, no refills so we paid $10 for my two. Maybe this is standard for the area, seemed crazy to us. We thought the chips and dip would come before our meal like any other place, but they must have forgot or something and didn’t bring them until after we were finished with our lunch. So then we had this whole plate of food we kind of didn’t want at this point and still had to pay full price for. We picked at it but left most of it behind as you can’t really take chips, guac, and salsa for later. The tacos we did get were good. I will say the second gal that came to take care of us half way through was much sweeter than the original lady. I really hate to leave anything but a positive review on a business but we really felt off put by the service in particular. Posting this so maybe the business owner can take note and try to curate a more positive and inviting environment.

Their cocktails are so good! My new favorite cocktail place in town.
Their paella is even better than the one that I had in Spain

The outside seats are very nice and relaxed. The service is ok, it didn't take a lot of time to bring food. All dishes had some interesting twist or sauce with it. The Coctail that we ordered was refreshing with good tasts combination.
