General Duffy's Waterhole
General Duffy's Waterhole is a beer and cider taphouse with a food court and two large events venues located in Redmond, Oregon. It opened for business in 2019. Shortly after opening, Duffy's began hosting weekly street markets next to the taphouse. Later that year, General Duffy's was recognized with two awards: one for improving the city's downtown economy, and the other as Redmond's "New Business of the Year". During the coronavirus pandemic, the business survived a period of carry-out only customer service and other mandated restrictions. Duffy's owners used that time to develop The Angle, an outdoor music and events venue with space for up to 2,500 attendees. In late 2021, General Duffy's opened a large special events hall on an adjacent property; Duffy's Annex provides indoor space for music programs and other events year-round. Description General Duffy's Waterhole is a pub, food court, and entertainment venue situated on a site in downtown Redmond, Oregon. It includes a taphouse, six food carts, a large patio with picnic tables and fire pits, a large indoor events hall with its own stage and bar area, and a covered concert stage with an outdoor dance floor and large pavilion-type tent to shelter event attendees as well as a block long street area used for outdoor markets during the summer and fall. The taphouse, food court, and patio occupy the northwest corner of the property. The taphouse has fire-station-style roll-up doors on the east and west sides of the building. The bar has twenty local beers and ciders on tap. It also sells wine and non-alcoholic sodas. The taphouse seats 60 patrons, while the patio adds additional seating at ten picnic tables. The patio also has Adirondack-style chairs available to seat patrons, along with two outdoor fire pits. There are five food carts located next to the patio year-round, each with its own unique cuisine and menu. In the summer, two additional food carts can be located on the property. Duffy's Annex is located behind the food court on the south side of the property. The Annex is an indoor events facility with its own stage and bar area. It is open year-round and available to host a wide range of celebrations and entertainment events, including music performances, wine tasting, bingo, public lectures, comedy nights, speed dating, and holiday and special occasion parties. When the Annex opened in December 2021, its first event was a Christmas market with forty vendors from the local community. During the Christmas market, Duffy's set aside space to collect Toys for Tots donations for children whose parents could not afford to buy Christmas gifts. The outdoor event area, officially known as The Angle, is on the east side of the property. It includes a large, covered stage with open-air sides. There is a concrete dance floor in front of the stage and a large pavilion tent next to the dance floor to provide shade and shelter for concertgoers. The Angle hosts concerts featuring well-known bands such as Everclear and
