Stopped in here on my way to Crater Lake after a quick Google search for breweries in Bend. I am so glad I did. The beer was tasty, the burnt ends (recommended by the staff) were the best things I ate my entire trip and everyone in bier garden was very friendly. I highly recommend this place and hope to come back again some day!!
Discriminated against me for having a service animal clearly marked, hostess thought it was her right to be able to know information about my medical record, WRONG! I told the hostess Im not disclosing my medical information to her and she puts her hand up and walks off.Absolutely disgusting to treat disabled Veterans this way!This is an addition I spoke with the manager on the phone he didnt want to listen to me he wanted to yell at me and not listen to anything I had to say and so I told him he can just deal with the Ada because I filed a formal complaint because of this
Everytime I visit Bend I come here. My husband loves the beer, but I come for the food. A great menu with lots of tasty food! We always grab some gear for gifts! Family and dog friendly!
Their beer is a personal favorite for me, and the brewery is a sweet place to hang out. Top tier in Bend and a great place to visit
Staff was super friendly, service was excellent, beer is tasty, and the adult grilled cheese sandwich might have been the best sandwich I’ve ever had
Lots of good bbq food options. The drinks were also real good. Only having one bathroom in the bar/restaurant was kinda a bummer.
I have walked by GoodLife a few times in the last year, but never gone in because Im not really into beer (dont shoot me). But my son wanted to try some local beer before he went back to Seattle, so we went to the GoodLife tearing room.I had a lager, my son had the Sweet As!, and we shared some happy hour grub. We had a buffalo flat bread pizza and a hummus plate. Everything was on the happy hour menu, and everything was fantastic.Nice chill vibe. Friendly staff. This may be my new Cheers bar, since I live in the neighborhood.
Mug club member for years now. Always fun!
Wonderful beer selection. They have some fun bourbon barrel aged beers. The food here though..... Excellent!! They had the best cheese board I have ever had. There is pork belly, prosciutto, salami, pepperoni, sausage, Brie, goat cheese, and some fruits and olives. For 15 bucks I guarantee you will not find one better.
Great locals hangout with lots of space in the outdoor and patios, great craft beer and a pierogi food cart, in addition to their own menu.
Chill outdoor grassy area with shade. Great beer and food.
Always a huge fan of their beers, and this tasting room is no exception. You cant beat this atmosphere + beer selection + pub menu. The crew is awesome and was great at relaying directions to maintain distancing and protocols- plus plenty of outdoor seating with heaters, great spot for dogs too
Good food and beer, great service.
What started as a great experience was ruined when a drunk driver hit us in the parking lot.
Best vibe and beers in Bend. Cheers for keeping the GoodLife alive!
What a great selection of diverse beers. My personal favorite being the 7 year anniversary, a rich bold bourbon barrel aged beer. The cocktails were great too, everyone’s favorite of the ones we tried was bar keepers friend - tasted exactly like grapefruit juice! The only downfall was their was only beer available in can to take with, should definitely can and bottle some of the other gems here!
Um its Good. Life
This place is my happy, deep rooted and newly created.. This is the place for memories
Another fine Bend brewpub
Really nice. I like the German lager. The yard has plenty of room for safe spacing. Wasnt crowded
Pretty good beer. But plastic cups
As usual, good life comes through with great beer and great food. Definitely on the list of a to spot for the family
The last several times I’ve been there, they’ve been pretty rude on their service. Example: came in at 5ish, asked if they still had happy hour, the employee said yes till 6. Got my drinks, then went to pay, and the person checking me out said they don’t do that anymore. I replied that I had just checked right beforehand and the employee said it was on. They rudely rebutted that they must have been misinformed.Was with a family member that day, they said they’ve had their last 3 experiences there be very rude treatment as well.
Wow! Absolutely try the pretzel or the Pork Belly.Also if youre a wing lover, Im pretty sure these wings came off of a goose or an ostrich or something because they are massive!
I love everything about Goodlife. Great beer, great food, and an amazing staff there to help. By far, my favorite brewery to grab a beer and a bite in Bend. From the seasonal selections to the mainstays you will not have a bad beer.
Perfect outdoor space for a summer day with plenty of space between tables. The carnitas tacos were really good - would definitely go back!
This is one of my favorite breweries in bend has a very good atmosphere and a very good selection of beers.before covid I came here with my friends and I got the mac and cheese sandwich which was amazing and I hope that after covid they can bring it back!!!
Absolutely killed it with their Flanders Sour. If you have the chance to try it, I would!! The servers were incredibly nice and the inside / outside area was a vibe which I loved. The outside had bocce ball and a fire which kept my group warm while we battled the winds. I loved the beer and the place and would go once I’m back in the state!
Had some great beers on a sunny day in bend Oregon
Chris and Alyssa were great servers. 5 star margaritas and burnet brisket ends. Will be back!
Cutie cute spot. Friendly staff. Good deals on Thursday.
The bartenders are super genuine and know what they are talking about when it comes to beer. The waiter Dave I had was very personable and attentive!!
Nice brewery with plenty of seating, food and outside seating. The beer was 4 star beer but the service was 1 star. We had a flight at the bar where you would think the bar tender might have some interest in beer conversation. The bar tender was no help explaining the breweries beer but rather having conversations with other employees. Not the type of brewery atmosphere I enjoy. Bend has plenty of other breweries.
GoodLife Brewing is always a good bet. They have beer specials and great food. PLUS...a big outside area for kids and what not to run around while the the others drink beer.
Really friendly staff. Cozy and good beer without the high prices. Loved the $3 pints on Thursday. Good food as well.
Beer is good. Dont buy the tacos. $15 for MAYBE 2oz of meat total. Complete waste of money.
Good beer and fun atmosphere. Please post more clear rules on the games. We started playing tailgate toss and were stopped by another patron who was angry that we were using “his boards.” We had no idea they required sign up and he was extremely rude. It unfortunately put a damper on the night.
Have been delivering new cans here for a few years
Not your average pub food. Great menu!
Even with the stupidity of the virus, I still really like the staff. Friendly and in good spirits.
Awesome food. Awesome beer. Fantastic service.
I hesitate to give five stars because one of my favorite places to go might get even more busy. But, the truth is the beers are always outstanding. This is a true craft brewery. They always have several new seasonal choices that are amazing as well as their beers that are always on tap. This is an award winning brewery for a reason. I cant say enough good things about this place other than it gets pretty busy during peak times, which is a bummer for people who live here and arent touristing. However, this is a place that should be shared. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the menu. The ingredients are prepared in house and it is apparent. Try the turkey bacon pesto wrap. Its outstanding. I love Good Life. ❤️
Good, but lackluster. The beer was good, but waited for about 15min for our drinks. The atmosphere was awesome, but left little to be excited after about 30 minutes. Food was tasty, but better culinary options are available within the same price range. All in all, this place makes for a great night cap, or as a last stop after visiting your other preffered venues.
Went by for the first time for lunch today. Great service, and the waiter told me about some great weekly specials. Very good Pub Salad, excellent beer, and music I could recognize (Im 64) and not too loud. Highly recommended based on my first visit. Ill be back soon.
Great beer, great food! The wait staff is very nice but could use some speed. Its not really their fault as they only had 2 people working for a full house. Overall great I just hope the owner will hire one more person for peak dinner hours.
Great beer, tasting room is cozy but cool. The beer garden is awesome, with lawn games, tables, dog friendly. Overall a great place to go. Especially on a hot summer day. They also have live music from time to time.
Solid local craft beer. I had the comatose and my wife had the Oregon berry wheat. Both were delicious and well priced. Service was good too. Would go again!
Beers are dialed in (Bavarian lager). Outdoor patio situation is ideal. Food trucks and beer garden seating were on point per Bend standards. Will return!
Super friendly staff. Amazing outdoor space, and great music during the summer. Oh, and the beer is great, and the margaritas....!!!!
Great beer, great food, locals only! JK we need them to stay in business 😀
Just went to Bend for the second time and hadn’t checked out goodlife on my first trip; the only regret I have in coming here is that it wasn’t sooner!! Really authentic spot, true brewery vibe with a wide selection of styles and delicious classic NW IPAs. Indoor and outdoor space, great for the whole family! The food was awesome, the chips and salsa is a perfect snack with the chips fried to order and a grilled lime (yes you want that) to squeeze over them, we had the two brats and they were both delicious! The service was also spot-on, really fun folks who seem to love what they do. If you like sours take a stroll over to ale apothecary too!
Great patio!
Enjoyed a flight and lettuce wraps, the wraps were tasty and had a neat variety of flavor and sauces, our favorite beer was the Scottish heart. Friends had a salad, thought it was chicken Caesar but no chicken, they admit it may have been their mistake.Update: after trying many on the ale trail I really enjoyed both the service and food here. If you enjoy Asian style vegetarian dishes I highly recommend the lettuce wraps.
This was a pleasant surprise. Im not very familiar with GoodLife but wanted to swing by and give them a try. 13+ of their own beers, with some being special limited-time beers, two guest ciders, and two guest nitro taps. Staff was knowledgeable and helpful in finding the perfect beers. Growlers are filled. Tastes are gladly poured so that every customer is thrilled with whichever pint they decide on.
Amazing beers, good service and great food! I split the baked brie with my girlfriend. It was awesome. Went on a Friday night and it wasnt very full - if you are looking for a bit of a quiet atmosphere with solid beer this is a good stop!
Awesome beer!
GoodLife is great. Their beer is awesome and the food options are excellent as well. The pub has a laid back atmosphere, and there is an outdoor area with a fire pit and games. Fun place to bring the family or a group of friends.
After the off road adventure we found wonderful service, fascinating beers and an interesting menu. We are only staying a few days, wish we could stop some more. We really appreciate the sustainable business plan and giving back to the community. We are taking some Good Life home with us.
GoodLife Brewing has very well crafted beers. Its Bend. If you dont have good beers you wont make it; so their doing something right. The food on the other hand is just alright. Tastes good but not amazing. I would recommend coming to check them out and see the awesome outdoor area they have.
We were at the Good Life this weekend, not once but twice! Loved the outdoor area in the beautiful weather and went inside to enjoy the special Mac & cheese and meatballs, both delicious!! Cant wait to go back in when in the area again~cheers!
Unique and comfortable atmosphere. Cool and helpful staff. YUMMY food. Very nice beer. My wife, who doesnt drink beer said her Vanilla Pineapple drink was excellent (made with onsite distilled vodka). Im a hophead and enjoyed both of their 8% (one double, one imperial). This is the sort of find that you have to check out and is why guys like me constantly search for brew pubs! Good job GoodLife! keep it up!
Served beer for their patio in plastic cups and wont even allow them to be refilled! Gave a new cup for every beer.Cups are labeled eco and compostable but are only actually able to be composted in special facilities and only a trash bin was provided, so make no mistake, your plastic is going straight to the land fill.Bend is better then that, and Goodlife needs to be held responsible for its trash.
I think this place was hands down our favorite spot when we visited. Great food, plenty of selections for the kids, LOTS of sunshine, great beer selection. Staff was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back!!
Last beer on our way out of town after our Cycling Cicerone adventure. Great outdoor setup. Our beer was good and the service was good. It was a nice way to say bye to Bend!
Fair selection of citrus IPAs (which are my favorite) but the atmosphere was spot on. Great place to play outside with friends or family while enjoying a good brew.
Sweet As!
Huge outdoor area. The longest cornhole range Ive ever played on, so it was pretty tough. On a sunny day, you could lounge here forever. Their space is shared with a distillery, so you can get a glimpse of that neat equipment. Their entire facility is visible through their garage doors and everyone inside was just jamming out and having a great time. Theres a food menu too, but I didnt bother with it. Looked pretty boilerplate. This was part of my Cycling Cicerone exploration of Bend, and I would definitely recommend it
Variety of good beers, friendly staff, however the place is hard to find.But keep on looking, its worth it!
Good food, but on the small side. Great beer and a fun atmosphere. We had the corned beef cheese steak which was a special and it was really good.
I love bringing my dog to the outdoor area here when its nice out. When its not, the indoor area is cozy and they have pretty good eats to pair with their brews too
Great assortment of good beers. Love the 7th Anniversary ♥️ Cant wait to come back. Great service.
Beer is great and the tasting room is vibrant. We had the pork and tri tip taco special, and it was good with the aardvark hot sauce, but forgettable without it. I would definitely come back to try the Shepards Pie and for the good service.
Just passing through Bend and stopped here. Beers and service were amazing. They have a lot of hoppy beers. The comatose was my favorite. Also had the blue balls and lettuce wraps and both were phenomenal. I will definitely be back.
Great place to go after mountain biking
