<b>No Shortage of New Year’s Options</b>
Below you’ll find there’s a whole lot more to do Saturday night than just the crowded parties in downtown Bend. And there’s something for everyone. Want to be take in an evening of mellow, folksy pop and still be home relatively early? Try Chris Beland at Parrilla Grill, Justin Lavik at portello winecafe or The Oxfords at River Rim Coffeehouse. Looking to classic-rock the night away? Consider Hangar 52 at Checkers Pub in Redmond or The Reputations at Crossings Lounge. Maybe crusty punk and metal is your thing? You want the five-band thrashgasm at Big T’s in Redmond. And you Sisters folks who don’t want to drive a long distance at the end of the night should hit Three Creeks Brewing Co. for the rootsy rockabilly of Poor Man’s Roses. “OK,” you say, “now you’re done telling me about New Year’s Eve options. Right?” Wrong. Find even more in the following listing.
