View this email in your browser Welcome to the Downtown Bend Newsletter, News from the ️ of Bend! Another great week in Downtown, with the snow off the ground and the sun in the sky, our hopes are high for a fun spring just around the corner. Start keeping your eyes peeled for seasonal sales at all our local boutiques and retail shops! Its been two weeks since restaurants have been allowed dine in-service since early December, and we are ecstatic to see everyone inside and enjoying themselves. With restrictions slowly being lifted we love the increase in shopping local and supporting those places that suffered the most.  Thank you! This week you don’t want to miss grabbing drinks at Joolz, their new cocktail “Anything for Selena” is our new favorite. This mezcal cocktail brings in a rich, smoky flavor, with a splash of Aperol and a dash of house-made strawberry syrup that rounds it out with a nice, sweet flavor.  With a full bar, there’s always bound to be something new and delicious at Joolz! Looking for your new favorite burger, look to Bend Brewing Co, their new whiskey BBQ bacon burger, is stacked high with candied pepper bacon, crispy onions and house made Trade War Stout BBQ sauce. Pair it with a house salad and that view of mirror pond and you are sure to have a great day! And no week would be complete without stopping by Deschutes Brewery to grab a cold pint of Red Chair while you hang out in their brand new curbside dining (especially now that spring is right around the corner!)
