The Stihl Whiskey Bar

Bend, OR · Bar · Genres: rock, country, folk, blues, jazz

A downtown Bend whiskey bar in the Franklin's Crossing building, opened by owner Jason Gartz after he went looking for a proper whiskey bar in town and found none. Over 400 varieties of whiskey alongside a full cocktail list and a kitchen that serves late, in a small low-lit room done in earth tones and copper. Hosts occasional live music — typically solo artists and duos on no-cover early-evening slots at conversation volume.
