More Beer for Larkspur Locals
A new brewery, a soon-to-be-built library and more populate this southeast Bend neighborhood
By Julianna LaFollette
The Larkspur neighborhood has everything: residential streets, an abundance of parks and a food and brewery scene. With densely packed streets and easy access to many bustling areas, Larkspur is a great neighborhood for anyone. You'll find families, young adults and a whole lot of dogs.
While the area is a mixture of residential and industrial, its growing restaurant and brewery scene should certainly be noted. On the east edge of Larkspur, next to planned mixed-use development Stevens Ranch, sits the spacious Cascade Lakes Pub, which just opened in August 2023. The larger corner lot is also home to The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill. Coming soon to the area will be a new gas station and Haven Bagel and Coffee.
Near the developing corner is Stevens Ranch, a planned mixed-use development that includes a large new Deschutes Public Library that's currently under construction.
Those looking for breweries and food truck options can find a great scene at Spider City Brewing and Bevel Craft Brewing, both with great food options and a relaxing vibe.
In addition to its growing food scene, the Larkspur neighborhood features great parks, including centrally located Ponderosa Park, equipped with pickleball courts, a skate park and scenic walking trails. The Larkspur community center is another perk, offering a number of activities including a pool, a fitness center and several workshops and classes. It will also be home to the new Art Station in 2026.
