Best of Drinks

Source Weekly readers know what’s up. These are the drinks, bars and bartenders voted “Best”

Every year, the Source Weekly’s Best of Central Oregon issue highlights the local places and people that Central Oregonians love most. We launch the contest, and then readers nominate the people, places and businesses they want to win in each of over 100 categories.

Mark your calendars for July 5, 2023, the next “Ballot Issue,” where we print the categories and let readers fill in their favorites – and in the meantime, check out these drink-related winners from 2022. (Will there be a Best Mocktail on this year’s ballot?! You’ll have to wait and see….)
