Turf Club

★★★★☆ 4 (120) • $$

"I love Turf Club. This is a classic music venue with great service. I have been there a few times now and have never had a bad experience. The stage is elevated a bit so even if you're in the back, you can see the performance. This place isn't huge, so you get a very intimate setting. Great options at the bar for drinks and they have food, even though I haven't tried anything yet. Looks good though! I could not believe the service we got the last time we were there. We had a table and our server was so on top of everything. Never had to wait long for a drink refill. He was so nice and funny. Really added to the whole experience!I always keep an eye out for events at Turf Club because I'll take any excuse to visit here!"

CC Club

"Last minute change of plans had us stopping here for a night cap before heading home. It's a huge dive bar with a huge selection of drinks. I opted for a white claw and for seltzers they had 3 different brands with multiple flavors per brand. Wow! They also have food...we had already eaten so we didn't check out the menu. We lucked out with a round table by the front and had great service from our waitress. It's a popular place with the locals. It was definitely the place to be at midnight."

Spring Street Tavern

"Amazing wings and dips. The blue cheese, ranch and seasoned sour creams were the best I've had. Atmosphere is relaxing and diverse. All around excellent experience."

Moose Bar & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (113) • $$

"The food here is absolutely amazing. Soups are made in house from scratch. They have a server on until 2 AM every single night so if you're sitting down at a booth or table, the server is there for you. they always have a dj downstairs on weekends. Every single night they have karaoke. It's a great place to have dinner and hang out with your friends and everyone is welcome."

Half Time Rec

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (93) • $$

"Met a friend and some friends that are regulars last month. What a great neighborhood bar! I didn't ask if it was new or I just never noticed but besides street parking they have a small parking lot across the street! Our bartender was very attentive and friendly... kept stopping back as I couldn't decide if I was going to drink or not? The patrons are just a bunch of chill folks hanging out...definitely my atmosphere. Not like you would think... a dim lit bar... we had full lights beaming during our visit. I like that they have some regulars photos stapled along the bar....as a dear friend who passed several years ago.... I always look for his photos. Thanks Half Time Rec for being such a relaxing and inviting place to catch up w friends, cheers!"

"In Minneapolis and I had to try a Greenie. It was not what I expected. I thought it would be sweeter but it was good and definitely packed a punch. Cheap too. I think it was $6.50? I also tried a purple one and it was good but I liked the Greenie better. The bar seemed to be filled with mostly locals who all knew each other. Bar is across the street from Betty Danger's which was also on my must visit list. Cash only. There is an ATM onsite."

Frenchman's Pub-Richfield

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (74) • $

"Stopped at this restaurant for a quick lunch. I really enjoyed the small town atmosphere in the big city. Great people and quick service. I really enjoyed the Frenchmen's Pub sandwich. It is worth the extra $2.50 to get the french fries."

Knight Cap Bar & Lounge

"Always friendly. Have never eaten here. Good drinks and prices. Love that they usually have diet sprite. Cash only. They have pulltabs"

N E Yacht Club

★★★★☆ 4.2 (26) • $

"This is your usual dive bar. Small, outdated, and beer posters on the walls. We came here to check out the pool table. It was a Thursday night around nine and there weren't too many people there so the table was open. I hate when you go into bars and get stared at like you don't belong there, but I didn't get this vibe in here. The bartender was very nice and the drinks cheap. There's a nice patio in back and a parking lot. We didn't try the food but heard it was good. So next time!"

Nauti Hawg Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.7 (30) • $

"It had been 4 years since I visited this place. Food is great, people are friendly, service was outstanding by Joe the bartender and the prices are so reasonably set for a great luncheon as well as drinks were cheaper than most places we go. If you are ever on the mighty Mississippi near Treasure Island Casino and lock and dam number 3, this is a great stopping area for a good lunch and American Menu. I hope the prices stay the same. The only item I couldn't figure out was the Bavarian Pretzel was $10 and that seemed high but the rest of the menu was reasonable and delicious!! Good burgers and fries. Thanks Joe for taking care of us and the bar too. I would have given it 5 stars but the place needs some TLC clean up and the restrooms were let's just say need improvements. Otherwise a great bar and grill to hang out on the river."

Maxx Bar and Grill

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (57) • $$

"I'm surprised I've never given a review of Maxx's before since I've been come here multiple times over the past 15 years. Started with following a popular (now-retired) country band. Occasionally a bingo night with the work ladies and the famous tent parties.For the most part, I've always enjoyed my experiences here. The times I have not is due to large crowds (because of those popular bands or tent parties) where you can't easily walk from one end to the other for the bathroom, a drink, to the dancefloor. Just too crowded that you bump somebody and get a drink spilled on you. Some people might like that atmosphere but not me. Bingo nights are better. And I've learned to come early to get a good seat. Always be kind to your wait staff. They're busy and try their best.Now on to today's visit. It's COVID 19 time and I'm still uncomfortable dining inside or on patios. I'd rather continue supporting local and just do pickup. They aren't doing delivery or curbside. Must go inside to pickup and pay...masks required to enter. From time of calling in order to picking up was 20 mins. Food was warm (not hot) by the time I got home ( ~8 min drive) but that's to be expected. I ordered the Cowboy Burger (tomato,lettuce,onion,pickle), Cajun Fries with Seasoned Sour cream. Forgot to include the bourbon bbq sauce but it was still tasty. Cajun fries were spicy enough. SSC was eh. Almost tasted too sweet. It looked too uniform in red color. SSC should be speckled.Sis got the (crispy) Buffalo Chicken Wrap with Ranch, Waffle Fries and SSC. She loves to order BCWs. Wrap was the right amount of spicy for her, which for others might be too mild. By the time we got around to eating it, chicken was soggy, no longer crispy. She's had better wraps but was still happy she ordered it. So many good things on the menu: salads, burgers, sandwiches, wraps, pasta, pizza... it was hard to choose. Must remember they deserve breakfasts too!"

Hoot's On the Water

★★★★☆ 4.1 (9) • $

"Five stars all the way. We paddled up from the other side of the lake and tied our boards up to the dock. When we first walked up, it was clearly a dive and we were wondering if we would feel unwelcome because we are not locals. Absolutely not the case! Steve got us drinks and Kevin, the owner, chatted us up and made us feel like regulars. His mom was there watching a soap opera with some friends and she shared some delicious homemade cake with us. Kevin dropped $5 in the juke box for us to listen to some songs and made us The Best Pizza! Cheeseburger with extra pickles. There is a reason it has won awards! We are the whole thing! The bar area has a fantastic lakefront view but the outside is awesome too. There is a stage area for a band and plenty of outdoor seating if you want to keep your distance from others but still enjoy getting out and about. When COVID-19 goes away, this would be a perfect place to get back to normal!"

Casper's and Runyon's Nook

"This is a solid, classic American bar with friendly service. The cheese curds were a definite highlight--crispy and delicious! I personally would've preferred a lighter touch on the batter, but overall, they were great. Pairing a burger and a beer here in such a laid-back atmosphere feels just right. You can't go wrong with this spot. Worth a visit if you are in the area."
