2-$20 Deals and $5 Pints at 10 Barrel West Side


Cheap Fun Happy Hour

If you’re looking for the best happy hour in Bend, Oregon, stop what you’re doing and head straight to 10 Barrel Brewing’s West Side location.

They’ve just launched a brand-new “Cheap Fun” Happy Hour menu that delivers unbeatable value, incredible food, and some of Bend’s best craft beer. I recently stopped in to experience it for myself, and trust me, you’ll want to make this your next stop.


Why 10 Barrel Brewing West Side Has Bend’s Best Happy Hour

10 Barrel has always been a cornerstone of Bend’s craft beer scene, but this new happy hour menu takes things to another level. It’s a mix of high quality, generous portions, and true value, something that can be challenging for Happy Hour.

Their “Cheap Fun” Happy Hour runs Monday through Friday, 2 PM to 6 PM, making it the perfect excuse for an early dinner, post-work unwind, or a casual afternoon meetup with friends. This isnt just your $0.50 off a pint, or a chick strip for $5. In my opinion, this is a real value, Something you share with friends, co-workers, or a casual afternoon date.


Unbeatable Value: 2-for-$20 Food and $5 Draft Pints

At the heart of this new happy hour is a simple but amazing offer:

  • 2 food items for $20 from the “Cheap Fun” menu
  • $5 draft pints of any 10 Barrel beer on tap

That combination makes it one of the best value meals in Central Oregon, especially when you consider the portion sizes and flavor you get. You can mix and mat 12 different items spanning a variety of tastes.


What’s on the “Cheap Fun” Happy Hour Menu

The “Cheap Fun” menu isn’t just filler food—it’s packed with hearty, craveable options that taste like full entrées. For $20, you can mix and match any two of these crowd favorites.


Our Top Picks: Giant Personal Pizza and Loaded Nachos

The Giant Personal Pizza

This one might be the best bang for your buck. It’s a full, thick-crust pizza—bigger than you’d expect for a personal size. I went classic with the Pepperoni, and it came out perfectly baked with a crispy edge and gooey center. You can pick from several varieties, so there’s something for everyone.

The Loaded Half-Order Nachos

Don’t let the word “half” fool you—this plate is massive. Piled high with chips, creamy white cheese sauce, crispy bacon, jalapeños, green onions, and steak, these nachos hit all the right notes. Easily one of the most generous and flavorful happy hour dishes in Bend.


Other Great Options to Try

If you want to mix it up, there’s no shortage of delicious picks on the menu:

  • Tacos
  • Wings
  • Roasted Brussel Sprouts
  • Cup of Mac ’n Cheese
  • Cheap Fun Burger
  • Pretzel Bites
  • And more

Each item holds its own, and the serving sizes are anything but “mini.” It’s a lineup that fits any mood—from shareable bar snacks to full-on comfort meals.


Why the $5 Pint Deal Stands Out in Bend

The food alone makes this happy hour worth it—but any $5 draft pint seals the deal. You can choose from any 10 Barrel beer on tap, which is rare for a brewery deal.

Whether you go for their classic Apocalypse IPA, the Pub Beer, or one of their rotating seasonal brews, it’s an unbeatable price for a top-tier local pour.

If you’re like me and appreciate a pint that pairs perfectly with good food and good company, this deal hits every mark.


Final Thoughts: Bend’s Best Happy Hour Spot

After trying it firsthand, I can confidently say that 10 Barrel Brewing’s “Cheap Fun” Happy Hour on Bend’s West Side is the best value in town.

For under $30, two people can share generous portions of great food and enjoy high-quality craft beer in a laid-back, quintessentially Bend setting.
