Remember when your buddy bought that big-screen TV? All of a sudden, his (or her) house became the best place to catch a game, match, or race. The screen was impressive, your buddy chummy, and his couch comfy. Besides, knocking back a few brews guaranteed a good time. But your friend, it seems, has some competition. There's a new, better-equipped guy in town, and he's packing around 280 total (high definition) inches of television.
Redmond's Clock Tower Pub changed hands last month and the new owners aren't wasting any time. The Pearsons, Dan and his wife Dawn, and Dan's parents Steve and Carol Pearson, kicked off a list of improvements by installing an additional five televisions, raising the total to seven. Other immediate upgrades include extended hours and a new menu.

Since opening just last month, 10 Barrel is quickly gaining a reputation as one of the best brewpubs in Bend, which, considering Bend's tough competition, says a lot. With heavyweights like Deschutes Brewery, Cascade Lakes, and BBC leading the pack, 10 Barrel has managed to quickly gain a solid footing. With increasing foot traffic as the weather improves, eateries and pubs are quickly turning Galveston into the destination spot every Westsider always knew it was.

I should have listened when my mother told me not to judge a restaurant from the sidewalk. But I didn't. Instead, I learn these lessons at my own expense. The most recent discrimination cost me countless lunches at an award-winning cafe. Readers of yours truly, The Source Weekly, voted Cross Creek Cafe “Redmond's best lunch spot” two years in a row.
But based on a few passing glances at 20 miles per hour … er … the posted speed limit, Cross Creek Cafe looked like an ordinary deli serving, likely, the same 'ole sandwiches. Boy, was I wrong.
