Wildwood Bar (formerly Brown Owl)

Just to say that Dana, the owner, is lovely. I’ve organized a fiber arts meetup there three times now and Dana and her staff are so nice and accommodating. She also does all of the food truck cooking so shes a busy gal. I noticed they do allow dogs inside, but the puppers were all well behaved. At 4:45, my pint of Viscous Mosquito beer was $5! I’m rooting for Dana and hope the place thrives.

Parking was a bitch but I’ve been told as soon as the yoga class crowd leaves at 5, spaces open up.

Agreed. Nice folks and good value in both food and drink. Their Buddha Bowl may be the best deal in town.

Love the Buddha bowl! It’s yummy and you get a TON of food.

Thats what I had! $11 for a huge bowl of rice, beans, cabbage, quac and a protein. Mine had three HUGE falafels (which, in hindsight, wasn’t a great choice with the rice and beans 😑)

It’s through the Power of the Pack women’s group on Facebook. I’m trying to schedule a meetup at the beginning of every month. Only about 6-8 of us and it’s all levels and all fiber crafts. I just ask that you have basic skills so no one has to give lessons!

Came back to say that if you're interested in attending, join the group and check the events page at the end of the month!!

I would love to join! Is there any way to get the info without Facebook?

Unfortunately the FB meetup is for members only, but I’m thinking of starting a second group outside FB. If there’s enough interest! I’ll post to Bend Reddit group and see who’s interested!
