Bridge 99 Brewery — Restaurant in Bend

We were watching the annual Bend pickleball tournament at Pine Nursery Park and decided on Bridge 99 which is not too far from the park. This place has a mixture of indoor and outdoor seating in an off the beaten patch section of Bend. There were 4 of us pretty hungry and thirsty around dinner time. My wife and I are dark beer drinkers and saw they had a couple on the beer menu. We tried the Cherry Stout and Tiramisu Porter. To me the Stout had a Robitussin flavor which I did not like. My wife prefered it over the Porter so we ordered a Stout for her and the Porter for me. The Porter was no bad at all. The food menu is not too extensive. Pizza and sandwiches are the main calling. We wound up ordering a plain 12" cheese pizza . This pizza reminded me of frozen pizza I had when I was a kid. It was way over cooked too. Our friends had the Graden Pinic pizza and 2 Bog Trotter Irish Ale's. I didn't hear any complaints so I will assume they liked what they had. I was hoping to find another brewery in area to frequent but sorry to say it didn't meet my wife's...

We recently held one of our After Hours Networking events at Bridge 99, and it was a fantastic experience! The staff were very kind, fun and approachable. They went above and beyond accommodating our notably large group of 37 attendees. We met in their fully covered extension area, which was warm and comfortable. They offered a great selection of tasty beers on tap, a great in house food menu, and adjoining food truck food options as well. What a cool space, and hidden gem. This is a great neighborhood gathering space for Bend East/NE side residents, and worth a drive if you're looking for a fun new space. Such a great way to kick-off 2024, and a big thank you to Evan, David, Carlin and the fabulous Bridge 99 crew...

Very good beer, ok drinks, meh-or-worse food. Pizza needs help, toppings are ok but crust is bland and tastes frozen. GF crust is available but it's very sub par and tastes like cardboard. Get tacos (pretty good) or teriyaki chicken (good enough and freshly cooked) from trucks instead. Hawaii truck has great waffle fries.

2025 update: Taco truck is gone (boo), pizza crust is still utterly tasteless (toppings still good though), cocktails have greatly improved (better training of staff I think), ukb trivia (Monday and Thursday) is still awesome(!), teriyaki truck is still good, beer still excellent.

Would love to bump to five stars, but man that pizza crust is...
