One of Bend’s newest bars — and there are many of them opening this summer — might take a little time to find… but that’s kind of the point. Cellar 65 is the new speakeasy opened by the owners of Blissful Spoon, which operates as a European-inspired breakfast and lunch spot upstairs along Newport Avenue during the day. Three nights a week, the action happens down below. Head to the side door festooned with an art-deco style logo and find cocktails, small plates and wine from 5 to 9 pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.

“The tapas menu draws from our experience in the Mediterranean, with flavors from Morocco, Spain, France to name a few,” Co-owner Miki Bekkari told the Source.
