Bend, OR

Because Hopsfest in Hood River was so much fun, I went down to Bend to spend some more time drinking beer, laughing, and acting like a 14 year old boy.  They were staying at a hotel that was converted from an old catholic school, and it was really cool!

The McMenamins pubs and hotels are a staple in Oregon and Washington.  They utilize old and quirky buildings, and have a sense of fun.  Not known for their fast service in the bars, that's okay in a place like Bend, where everything should be very laid back anyway.  Plus, at the Bend location, everything isn't always as it seems....
