So come on out to the Ice Rink at the 7th Mtn resort and get you disco skate groove on. Just head out on Century drive towards Mt Bachelor, only 7 miles outside of Bend. You may also enjoy the Bar and Lounge next to the ice rink to warm up with some great food and drink specials.
Hey everyone, I hope your having a great summer. Summer time in Bend is awesome, with so many things to do and chill people to meet. The weather here is pretty warm and sunny, which makes the outdoor patio scene really pop off. One of my favorite places to have a few drinks on the is the Wall St. Bar. Located in downtown Bend just off of Wall St. It’s a great place to meet your crew and catch the last glimpses of the sun before the night begins. This is definitely one of the local favorites and has been since I moved here in 2000. With a good size patio and a cozy inside atmosphere it really gets cranking with thirsty and sometimes crazy party people. It can be quite the scene to check out as the night goes on.
I would suggest either parking in one of the two nerby parking lots, or if you can walk or ride your bike there is plenty of bike parking/locking trees and posts. If you like people watching and checking out some random action, then this is the place for you. Did I forget to mention that they serve local beers on tap as well as $2 PBR’s all the time. The Wall St. Bar also has a juke box and 1 pool table along with some viedo poker. I highly recomed this spot if your looking for a place to end the day or begin the evening.
Classy!
So if your going out on the town and your not sure what your up to or where to go, then you have to check out one of downtown Bend’s newest coolest nooks. Located by the corner of Wall St. and Franklin is Velvet. Now this place is not as big as it seems, due to the optical illusion produced by the fully mirrored wall. But size isn’t everything. I like the atmosphere that you get at Velvet. With a crew of employees that run the show, which all have been in the downtown work seen for awhile, your sure to get what you want just the way you want it. So weather your looking for a Jack and Coke or a PBR 40oz in a paper bag they got what you need. The bar is in the upstairs area which can make it a challenge to get your order in, but what better way to mingle than actually squeezing through the crowd.
When your looking for a good time and not sure where to go, give Velvet a try, I think of it as a stepping stone to the rest of the evening. Being in the mix of the downtown area its a chill scene with some great people watching. I hope you can have as much fun here as I have.
Today was another great day in Bend, OR. I started my day by havin a cup of coffe and chillin around the house. The second half of the day was a little more eventfull, as I headed to work. You might be thinking to yourself how could work be eventfull. Well I’m not talking about someone getting fired or the copy machine breaking down again. I went whitewater rafting on the Upper Deschutes River just a few miles outside of Bend. I’m a raft guide for the Seventh Mtn. Resort and I’ve been working and guiding on the Big Eddy Rapids for the past seven years. I love my job and feel lucky to live in such a great place.
This site will serve as a guide to the locals and all of our visitors to this great place. I will be telling you all about my adventures and outings on the town as well as info I gather from other locals and friends of mine as to how they like to spend their days here in Bend. A locals perspective on what to do rather than what u see in the biggest advertisments. For instance, what is the best margritia in town, whats the music seen looking like or where is the pow stash on Mt Bachelor?
I encourge people to let me know what you think of my suggestions. Did you have fun, would you go back or did you go somewhere cool and have a good time. After living here for the past nine years I’ve meet thousands of people through the outdoor industry I work in. Over the years I’ve shared my stories and suggestions with people and now we’ve opend it to a new venue for all to share. So have a great day and we will see where the evelotion of the new site goes.
