Dear Irene


BEND OR

Downtown Bend, OR
2179 SF Suite of a historic brick structure

Situated within the historic O'Donnell building, built in 1912, Dear Irene seemlessly blends the old and the new, using original building elements as a backdrop for bold new architectural interventions.

Patrons are greeted by a rehabilitated patio & custom metal door integrated into the historic brick facade - a sophisticated fusion of contemporary design and traditional architecture which preserves the original opening into the space. Once inside, the layout is carefully planned to optimize flow and functionality while respecting the building's spatial constraints. The bar itself serves as a focal point, crafted with attention to detail and high-quality finishes that align with the overall design aesthetic. Seating arrangements are designed to facilitate social interaction, offering a range of options from intimate high tops to communal banquette seating.
