Oblivion Brewing

The beer was delightful, our favorite was the Red-​Road Ryder! The jack 12 was delicious with avocados added, but our favorite was Meg’s bowl. We have been traveling for quite some time so it tasted delicious with the veggies and fresh ingredients. Add some steak if you want protein!

The best Burnt Ends in Bend. If you go to this place, go there for those alone, totally worth it. Everything else on the menu in mediocre, and the wings are terrible. 3 starts for the Burnt Ends and the atmosphere.
I know Unilocalers like to deal in extremes, but this place varies widely in its quality.

We have tried this place twice now. First time we said we would not go there again but it was shortly after they opened so we gave them the benefit of the doubt. They were out of beer and food items off of there menu both times we went. The beer really isn’t that good. The food is over priced and not that good. They charge for a condiment?! That is crazy. The menus were wrinkled and had dry crusty food on them, so much that it was disgusting to touch them. The glasses were dirty with chunks of food stuck to them. They charge $ 2 more for a vegetarian option burger. They charge extra for cheese. This will be the last time we went there. Very very unsatisfying!

Love Oblivion! They aren’t sell-​outs like 10 Barrel. Fantastic service, amazing and unique food, and I love the atmosphere and location. Give it a shot!

So the staff was good. They let us cram ourselves into a tiny table which was nice of them. The food was so good. Just eating food and drinks alone I would give them a five. I think the service was a solid 8.5 out of 10, but the overall experience was a 10 out of 10!

Actually I would probably rate as a 3.5 stars if I could. We Went to Oblivion at 8pm for dinner. Immediately sat at table and drink orders taken promptly. Service was great throughout and waiter had several dinner and beer suggestions. Unfortunately none of us tried their beer. But small selection of liquor was good and wine was decent with a generous pour. We had served at our table a BBQ chicken salad, quinoa burger and pulled pork sandwich. The salad looked awesome, the quinoa burger had generous toppings and the pulled pork was different than I am used. It held together well on a thin bun. I had to ask for more BBQ sauce as it was a little dry for my liking. The meat was tender but I like a lot of sauce. The ‘Q’ sauce was spicy and really flavorful, I am glad I asked for it. It made the sandwich! The French fries were thin crispy and salty just the way I like them. This is pub food, nothing fancy. Don’t set your expectations too high. Decent food, decent prices. The décor is cute but the large garage doors look out at 7 – 11. I would probably stop by again but not my first choice.

The first of 4 breweries on our Cycle Pub crawl, this place had one beer that stood out as my favorite for the day. I continued on to sample over 30 beers that day (taster size) and at the end of the day I had the Road Rider on my mind. The Road Rider is a dry hopped red ale that is truly something special. Tons of great hop flavor on top of a malty caramely red base for a perfectly balanced and highly drinkable ale. All 7 beers I tried were awesome with the 2 IPA’s coming in at the top.
My sister brother in law who had been there before kept talking about the pulled pork waffles they had but we were there too early (1pm?) to have any so I can’t tell you about those. So we settled on a couple house made soft pretzels with beer cheese dip and they were great! The pretzels were super soft and coated with some chunky sea salt. The cheese dip tasty like a sauced version of swiss cheese, a great pairing with just about any beer.
Props to Jon from Cycle Pub to make this the first stop!

Very mediocre food, friendly service, but slow waiting for our check at the end. The menu has a lot of fancy words and options leading one to think you will receive fancy food, but you would be mistaken. They also should check their definitions. Lox is cured but I received horribly fishy tasting fried salmon.
The actual smoked salmon my friend got was also very bad/​fishy. The fries and onion rings were the only thing worthwhile. Turkey charcuterie? Seriously? was dry and bland, hummus was orange? Also bland. Mac n cheese was good, but overwhelmingly rich.
I’ll come back here only if they get a new chef. Maybe their burgers are good?

More like «Oblivious» Brewing. Ask them why the beers called a polar star. Ask why everything is called «backside»… Ask for a substitution on your silly panini. and don’t forget to peak in the kitchen and see the French fries being cut in the dish pit.

Went to Oblivion for the first time. I ordered the Cubano sandwich and fries. My girlfriend ordered the waffle pulled pork sandwich. The fries were good, which is the the best thing I have to say about the meal.
The Cubano was advertised in the menu as being served on a cardamon roll. I assumed a cardamon roll was some type of bread suitable for a sandwich. I was incorrect. The roll was literally a cinnamon roll with no frosting. I was cut in half and completely impossible to pick up and eat. It was dry, had a single thin slice of corned beef, and the flavors were almost nonexistent. Those flavors that could be tasted did not work. This was the worst sandwich I have ever eaten in a restaurant.
My girlfriend was told when she ordered that they were out of waffles but were serving the sandwich on bread. This sandwich was also light on the meat. The bread was overly greasy. Flavor was lacking. Again, this was not something one would be expected to be served in a boutique restaurant such as this.
The beer was good. Not great, but good.
Nice atmosphere and good service from the waitress. These two the only reasons for 2 and not 1 star. I’m a local, and I wont be back. Gotta question a lot of the positive reviews…

We had a good dinner and good craft beers at Oblivion this week. We experienced none of what the previous negative reviewers commented on.
This is a cozy and modern little brew pub with large open air windows, made of metal garage doors. Located in the old West Side Bakery location Westside of Downtown and Drake Park. The place was half to three-​quarter full when we arrived after work during mid week. We were seated quickly and given, menus and waters. Our waitress was delightful and attentive. The busboy was also friendly and on top of it.
We thought the onion rings were okay, but the burgers were large, absolutely delicious, cooked perfectly with a generous portion of fries on the side — just $ 9 for their regular burgers with cheese. Our only complaint was the limited beer menu. We liked the golden and IPA and we’re glad we got some tastes because the red was warm, flat and bland on the day we tried it. Parking is limited out front, may have better luck on side street or behind restaurant. Overall, an enjoyable visit.

My boyfriend and I were excited to try this place. We were disappointed and will not return. The service was okay, but we were constantly forgotten about. The place wasn’t even busy.
The beer is average. It was nothing to rave about.
The food was the biggest disappointment. I ordered the shrimp and grits. It comes to you served in a pool of oil and the portion size is small. My boyfriend got a salmon sandwich which did not look appealing in any way! The salmon was colorless and looked more like cat food. If they really smoke it themselves, there needs to be some improvement.

Best new restaurant to hit Bend. Opened 4 weeks ago, the handcrafted beers are phenomenal. The staff is fun and friendly, try the Cubano sandwich it’s to die for and the French fries were fabulous. Great value! We will be back! Can’t wait to try the salmon salad.

Beer is excellent, wait staff is friendly and courteous… I highly recommend this place. Brand new restaurant worth your time. Skip 10 Barrel down the road and head here.

My mom and I came here for lunch, wanted to check out the newest brewpub in Bend :)
What an impressive place, the atmosphere was funky, kind of garage/​roadhouse chic! The windows open to Galveston, and the breeze floats through the dining room, it was really a nice way to enjoy your meal.
The service was outstanding, our server was knowledgeable and friendly, she brought me a couple tasters of their beer and I was super happy with her choices. The entrees she recommended were AMAZING, my mom ordered the shrimp and grits and I had the cubano, both were fantastic and I would get them again a thousand times.
Our entire lunch was fantastic from beginning to end, I would HIGHLY recommend Oblivion, and I will be coming back many more times.
Thanks for your amazing beer, wonderful food and perfect service!!!

I hate giving negative reviews but it looks like I’m the first one here to be disappointed. The service was sub par, the beer was average, and the food left a lot to be desired.
Two of us went in on a weekday afternoon and we were the only two at the bar. We were greeted quickly and given beer menus and food menus a few minutes later. We ordered beers which were nothing special. After about 15 minutes of watching the bartender walk back and forth in front of us without making eye contact I finally had to say ‘excuse me’ to get his attention so we could order something to eat. You asked us if we wanted food menus and we said yes so odds are we were hungry, no?
I was interested in the sliders (3, 1ea of beef, pork, and salmon). I don’t eat fish so I asked if I could just get 2 of one of the others as a replacement. He checked in the kitchen and said no, sorry, that’s how they’re served. Really? You have to make them anyway so it’s that much of a problem? I grabbed the corn dog instead which was way over battered and fried for too long to the point that some of the batter had turned almost black.
Turns out I was the lucky one as my friend ordered the sliders which apparently were utterly devoid of moisture or flavor. He even asked to use the rest of the honey mustard that came with my dog to give some life to the beef slider left on his plate. If you want sliders done right, go to Cabin 22.
We tried a few different beers but none of them were memorable. We also noticed that a lot of the beers that were being poured behind the bar were coming out half foam which tells me that some of the kegs likely aren’t being kept cold enough.
I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt since they just opened (only reason for 2 stars) but mediocre doesn’t fly too long in this town when so many places are damn good. I hope they’re still working out the kinks since I’d like to see them succeed and give us a Galveston alternative to 10 Barrel. If not, it doesn’t bode well.

Beer is awesome, as is the food. Everything is fresh and house made, including smoking of the various meats and fish. Bartender very friendly and helpful. We’re from out of town; this place just made our list of places we must visit when we come to Bend.

This place is great! The beer was good, the food was good, the service was fast and friendly, and my family had a good time.
I recommend the Backside IPA fish and chips and the Smoked Salmon Sando. My wife and I shared both and they were both more than what I expected. If you bring a child, the White Cheddar Mac and Cheese was awesome!
We will be back definitely!

Was visiting Bend and staying in a house just down the street. 10 Barrels was packed and Oblivion looked very inviting with a fun crowd and all the garage doors opened up. Ended up having a great dinner with a few buddies. We all agreed the food was great and the beer was solid.
One of the waitresses sat down and gave us the history of how Obvlivion got started and where the chef came from (Victorian Café). Really impressed with all the meats coming from a smoker on site and the quality of the food. You could tell all of the wait staff was excited to be there and give great service.
Overall, a great experience and will go back the next time I am in town. Give them a shot!

Wife and I went out to Oblivion last night — I have a bad habit of going out to new places during the first few day of their opening. Usually I’m disappointed. This was the exception.
I have never had a better opening day experiencing in a micro brew pub EVER! Wife and I had a Knockout Stout (quite good) and a Snowblivion Winter Ale (liked the stout better). We shared the Veggie Antipasto (with a yummy Kim Che), a Sweet Beer Can Chicken (could have been Cornish game hens) and a Poached Pear Tart. All the food was way, way above average. Now if they only had good food and beer, well, that would get them 4 stars, but the quality service and obvious joy they took in working pushed them into 5 star rating.
Our server, Amanda, was absolutely hyper (but in a really good way). Her attention to our table, and her awesome advice was outstanding — she even introduced to to the purveyor of the locally-​made Kim Che.
All the staff we interacted with felt like seasoned professionals — even though they had only been open for hours, not months. Everything just seemed to mesh.
They plan to have outdoor seating available in a while. I will definitely be coming back.
