Sunriver residents Amanda and Michael Sumpter invite locals and tourists to visit Whiskey River Bar in the Sunriver Business Park to watch a sporting event, play pool, throw darts, enjoy a meal, listen to music or try a signature drink.

Amanda and Michael Sumpter invite community members to a ribbon cutting and grand opening starting at 5 p.m., ribbon cutting at 5:15 p.m. and music by the Jugulars at 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 8. Light snacks will be provided.

“We wanted to create a place that would be a nice addition to the Sunriver area and that combines our many years of experience,” Amanda Sumpter said.

Guests can enjoy signature seasonal cocktails created by bartender and food prepared by their two chefs while sitting on the outdoor patio or inside the rustic themed bar.

The Sumpters are planning to offer breakfast this fall for guests watching football games, and they are planning to have live music. Whiskey River Bar is for guests 21 years and older.

“We noticed there wasn’t a place for adults to gather after 9 p.m. so we decided to fix that by opening Whiskey River Bar,” Amanda Sumpter said.

The bar is open 3 to 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 3 p.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday.

“We created Whiskey River Bar to be a timeless place where everyone feels welcome,” Amanda Sumpter said.
