The Local's List 2025 is The Bend Magazine's annual readers' choice poll.

Voting Round Presented by:

Every year, The Bend asks readers to highlight the best the Coastal Bend area has to offer. You choose the local businesses that blow you away, the restaurants that serve top tastes, the excellent entertainment and first-rate amenities that make life great in the region. We then gather the winners and announce them in our July 2025 print issue.

This contest is now closed. The winners will be announced in the July issue of The Bend. Subscribe to our newsletters and the print magazine to be the first to know! Have questions about how The Local’s List works? Check out our FAQ page.
