M & J Tavern

Good open mic night, friendly bartenders, nothing fancy, very hospitable to local musicians.

CJ is the best bartender I've ever had!  She knows what to make based off of what you like, and the two "surprise drinks" she has made me have been amazing!  She is very on it...bringing water over before I even ask for it.  She is happy, and efficient, and looks as though she enjoys her job.  Live music is here I think every night.  The times I have been here, the music has been great!  This is a great neighborhood bar with pool and games and great music and service and fabulous selection of drinks!  I'm not a regular bar-goer; but this one makes me want to keep coming back!  Yikes...

My favorite bar in Bend. Great bartenders and owner.  All sorts of people come into the M & J because of it's location and the fact that it's joined with a laundry mat.  Great pizza next door at Old Towne.  Free, live music every week.  Free pool on Sundays.  Great juke box. A couple really nice screens to watch a game.  The best collection of  tequila I've seen in Bend.  Definitely a regular's bar.  But what decent bar isn't? :)
