If you enjoy a well-shaken cocktail, The Flamingo Room — San Simón’s sister restaurant — is a must try. The sophisticated space gives the impression of dining outside with overflowing foliage and a “vaguely equatorial” theme. 

Another peaceful pocket in Bend is The Commons Cafe & Taproom. Previously a coffeeshop and bike shop rolled into one, it’s now a hub for everything from remote work to live music to spoken word. Stop by for an adaptogenic latte by day or an evening full of laughs and community by night.

Where will you be eating and drinking this weekend?

Cheers!
