The Stihl Whiskey Bar

Very cute little cocktail bar that's open late. Great service and good cocktails. Atmosphere is classy and fun. Seating is a little tight, but there's plenty of room. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Bend.

We are locals who long said “we need to go to the whiskey bar”. Decided tonight to go. Super disappointed. No one greeted us. We had to ask if we should sit wherever. Then waited 15 minutes and weren’t once asked if we needed anything, no one asked about drinks, no “we’ll be right with you” as just left sitting. And there were maybe five other tables, so maybe 30% capacity, all of which had already been served. The person we assume was our server was just chatting with the bartender, filling waters, etc as all while we sat, in plain sight, with zero attention paid. TL;DR … Would never go back.

Very friendly service with evening live performances. Food is not bad but nothing special - the steak bites were a bit too well done for my liking.

Cool vibes, open after everything else is closed. Dark and cozy with a 15 page cocktail menu… all whiskey.

Incredibly knowledgeable bartender, may have been the owner. Could answer any question about whiskey and direct towards a particular bottle out of the hundreds available. Good cocktails, nice vibes, didn't have any food this trip but I'll definitely be back to try it next time.

Cozy bar with a good vibes and a solid whiskey selection (of course). Food was just okay though, the steak bites were more like teriyaki.

The drink menu is fresh and exciting. Great selection of whiskies (both whiskey and whisky). The appetizers were fun. The bread pudding is a YES!

Solid happy hour and an extensive selection of whiskey.

ONLY RATING THE CONTACT EXPERIENCE:
Been trying to get ahold of someone through all available contact methods but their phone number doesn’t work and their ‘website’ just links you back to their Facebook account which appears to be unmonitored because they don’t answer FB or Instagram messages. The bar itself is great but I’m frustrated by how impossible it is to get ahold of this establishment. I live out of state so I can’t go in person.

Went here for happy hour on June 6. Sat at the bar and got great service from the bartender and server.

My wife and I each ordered the happy hour Old Fashioned. The well pour for the OF is Lewis & Clark, which is a solid choice for that drink. We also ordered a whiskey flight and got some great education from the bartender.

My wife ordered the smash burger and tater tots. She loved both but I thought the tots had too much garlic. I ordered the happy hour bourbon burger, which is outstanding.

We were the first ones in the place when it opened at 5:00 but by the time we left there were quite a few parties.

Had sweet potato fries and bread pudding. Both tasty. Good bartenders and service. Chill atmosphere. Good selection of bourbon.

Laidback bar with an enormous whiskey selection.

Great spot and knowledgeable staff making top notch cocktails.
