Maverick’s Country Bar and Grill has a lot of things you’d expect at a country bar (people in boots, a selection of domestic beer, a lot of hats) and a few things that are a whole lot more fun, like Central Oregon’s only mechanical bull. Since 2011, Maverick’s has worn the 10-gallon crown as Bend’s only country bar. Located on the eastside off Brinson Blvd, they offer line dancing lessons with a terrific instructor select nights and they serve up big burgers, a nice selection of salads and appetizers and what they describe as “Central Oregon’s largest wagon wheel”. Also, bottomless fries, because you’ve got to fuel your boot scootin’ all night long. Open until 2:00 a.m. many nights, this is a place a lot of people drift into later on the weekends. Country music, onion rings and people hopped up on shots getting crushed* by a mechanical bull means a fun night out. *Not actually crushed, metaphorically and spiritually crushed
