It’s been awhile since I’ve surveyed the local happy hour options, but I’m pleased to see that the Broken Top Club is going to be having one, open to the public, starting next Wednesday the 6th. Theirs will be running three days a week, Wednesday through Friday from 4 to … Continue reading
In just a few weeks, Bend’s newest brewery, Worthy Brewing, will be opening up on the east side: February 4 is the “quiet” soft opening, and February 26 is the grand opening (“with a bang”!).
