A place that caters to locals. As visitors, we found ourselves waiting longer than the tables around us.Great cheese curds, onion rings, and beers/ciders though. We brought a board game for our group to play and were not bothered. Table of locals next to us were friendly, and server shared her favorite local suggestions.Fun arcade next to the bar. We gave Silver Falls all our quarters.

Great food. Awesome beer/bourbon selection.Stopped again. Had a few drinks ( bourbon list is still great) had a burger. Others had nachos, fish tacos and the Cubano. All excellent. Definitely worth the drive to o northern door.

For years when in door county we drive by and say we should stop in. Well today we did and we were not disappointed. This place has an incredible selection of beers and bourbon. This alone has my attention but it didn't stop there. Our lunch was pretty darn good. I guess we could call in bar food but it was much better than that. I had a shrimp po boy which was so much better than I was expecting. My wife had the chicken poblano soup which was super tasty. This place doesn't luck like much from the outside but do yourself a favor and stop in. I don't think you will be disappointed.

We stopped in to get a drink and play some games but the service right off the bat was really negative. Especially for New Year’s Eve. The bartender girl didn’t say anything to us when we walked in. After 5 minutes muttered “here’s that” as she slid us a smeared beer menu. We had a service dog and she said “is that a dog” with a side glance. She came back a few minutes later and said “what do you want” and so we just left. We would rather spend money around a more positive staff for the holiday. Staff is really important in the restaurant business and we will go to one of the many other places around here that treat customers well.

Try their walleye po boy, cheese curds or burgers! Fresh ingredients, good prices, and fresh food, a really solid place. I would definitely come here again if I lived in the area.I was a actually pretty surprised by the quality of the food. Super fresh fish, lettuce, and tomato but the bread was pretty average. The cheese curds were good too, worth the extra 2.50 substation cost. A little salty but cheesy and chewy with just the right firmness. Burgers are also juicy and thick as well.Price was pretty cheap with good quantity of food. Maybe I'm just too used to Chicago vivid delivery prices. Atmosphere is lively, staff was friendly and quick.If you're in the area definitely try these guys out!

Our family stopped here for lunch at the suggestion of our Kayak Tour leader at Lakeshore Adventures. His suggestion was spot on. The food was very good and they had a fantastic choice of beer on tap. They even had vegan options for some members of our party with special dietary needs.The service was friendly and prompt.If that wasn’t enough, they have a small arcade in the back with darts, pool tables, skeeball and shuffleboard. Had a blast. Great end to our eventful day.

Went a couple of times for dinner in and out of season. Long list of delicious drafts, wished they had some German ones on it. Food was good and served promptly. Blonde waitress was attentive and friendly, seems like she's been working there for a while which is great. Kid friendly, plenty of space and even arcades which are mostly unused. Had a great time and felt like a local. Really homey vibe and people minding their business. Sort of divey but in the best way possible. Will be back for sure.

Local hangout - one of the best ways to explore and eat. DJ our bartender extraordinaire was a gem - we had a great time. Food was best of pub food.. only got to capture the cheese curds since we were too hungry and put our faces in our plates 😛. If you want to skip the touristy spots for a second give this place a shot! And say hi to DJ for me 👋

Always a great conversation w/ the staff. Looking for a unique whiskey or bourbon? If they don't have it, it's probably not available! Food is always good with a rotating, changing menu. Does not disappoint! Home made fries? Enough said!

Had an absolutely wonderful time here recently with my girlfriend. Lindon was very attentive and informative to not just us but everyone at the bar, while still knocking out orders constantly. We went with the intent of getting just some food and a beer each and ended up staying three or four hours. The place is fun to be at and has so much to do. Food was amazing and beer selection was excellent. The staff took it above and beyond, though. I will go out of my way to revisit again.

Super friendly staff and way better than average bar food, make this a great stop for a beer and a burger. The nachos are also very delish. They're open year round too! The sticker made me laugh.

A short walk from our motel. Dozens of beers on tap and 150 whiskeys. Friendly and efficient wait staff. I enjoyed a whitefish Reuben!

I was visiting from Chicago area and it was such a welcoming environment to all. But the food is the true success story. Everything tasted so perfect from so many other places with a similar menu. Hope I'm able to return one day.

Enjoyed a tasty, cold beer and a delicious bowl of mac & cheese with pork belly at the Mink River Basin. Service was fantastic and the staff was friendly.

My husband and I, our 2 daughters and my parents visited the area and had no plans for dinner. We stopped in and there was a 40 minute wait. We had a blast teaching our youngest to play billiards and the girls spent time playing arcade games while we checked out the menu. The time flew by!We ordered pizza for the girls and between the rest we had a grilled chicken salad, Buffalo chicken sandwich, spicy burger, and the best dang Nashville hot chicken sandwich I've ever had hands down.Our waitress was great and we will definitely be back next trip!! Thank you for a fun atmosphere and delicious dining experience.
