Chill A While and Enjoy a Cold Craft Beer at Confluence Fly Shop’s In-Store Craft Beer Bar in Bend, Oregon
Take a time out from your outdoor adventures (or just shopping) with a cold beer at one of Bend’s best fly fishing shops in the Old Mill District.
Visitors to Bend’s Old Mill District – shoppers and outdoor adventure clients, as well as craft beer fans – have a new spot to grab a pint and bend the ear of area experts in fishing, flies and tackle.
Confluence Fly Shop owner Tye Krueger unveiled a significant store remodel this past winter, the highlight of which includes the addition of an 8-tap bar, with sliding-glass door access to seating in an outdoor patio. Krueger said he hopes these additions will complement their current retail space as well as enhance the experience of customers attending fly shop classes, events, and guided trips.
“With so many great fly shops in Central Oregon, we’re always striving to be the premier destination for fishermen visiting our region,” said Krueger, who founded Confluence Fly Shop in 2013. “The addition of the bar will enhance an awesome fly shop vibe that is already built on one of the most broad-reaching product collections and knowledgeable staff in the area.”
“We have a great riverfront location in the Old Mill District, classes, workshops, and guided fishing trips,” Krueger added. “Swapping lies over a cold beer with your friends, is a natural next step after a day on the water.”
The roughly 20-foot-long, 9-stool bar, features a large TV and a rotating selection of draught and bottled beer, wine, and cider. While the new countertop was designed to be dual purpose and double as the main point-of-sale for the store, the bar is open to the public during normal store hours. Taps will continually rotate, and at times, will likely include various ciders and kombucha along with wine and various drinks available in cans and bottles.
“When the weather gets nice and the Old Mill District is just brimming with people, I feel like we can be another incredible place to just sit and have a cold beer or other refreshing beverage,” Krueger said. “During the right time of year, it’s just so nice to sit outside, enjoy a sunset, or relax on a warm sunny, high desert afternoon.”
