Considering Shou Sugi Ban originated in the 1700’s might suggest it’s not a fad.
Trends being cyclical and memories being short however, say what you will…

I really like the charcoal. And IMHO it won’t be any more dated in 10 years than the 
that suddenly got popular for a hot minute.

I went to the Bend soft opening and it’s a solid spot. Lots of outdoor space, and inside was super cozy. It kind of feels like you’re in someone’s house with a bar in the middle. I didn’t take any photos because I was just there to enjoy myself and it was quite busy.
Definitely looking forward to the other spots opening up, too.

do they sell beer other than their own? if so maybe worth a trip.
Yes. Small selection when we went because it was brand new, but they still had other beers and the cocktail menu hadn’t been finalized. They said 2nd week of January the State of Beer next door will be open, and I think they’ll hit their stride.
