Lure Lakebar

Great menu - so many good options that it was a tough choice. I went with the fish tacos.The restaurant itself is very nice and spacious. Great views of the lake too if on the patio or along the windows (or overhead doors open on summer days).

As a local, you probably aren't picking this as your first choice but this is a good place to bring out-of-town visitors. The view of the lake is nice and it's fun to watch the voters come and go sitting out in the patio. It is a dog friendly establishment on the patio- or it was when we visited.The food is pretty good but for the price I don't believe it's worth it. Each time I end up eating here a majority of the menu items have gone up $1-2 in price.Never had an issue with service or being seated without a wait- but we usually don't go when the patio is packed in the summers.Like I said, a decent restaurant, just spendy and not one I'd frequent outside of treating visitors or celebrating special occasions.

Food = good but overpriced (20$ tough calamari I'm looking at you).Walleye fillet with zucchini and squash is good.Walleye sandwich my friend had was WAY bitter, they subbed in a three triangle walleye tacos but no salsa or Siracha so lacked flavor.IMHO the place is overpriced (maybe due to the lake view?) 20$ avg calamari and others need some work.

The original plan was to go to Zorbaz for tacos and/or pizza pies, but it seemed pretty packed there. Decided instead to check out Lure Lakebar just across the way, a party of 3 for dinner.Seated right away, in a semi-indoor table area with open-air access with views of the patio, sand volleyball court, and of course, the lake!Most patrons seemed to be coming from the nearby golf course/club. TVs around the bar in case you wanted to catch up on some other live sports coverage. We did not get there in time for Happy Hour Specials but the list looked pretty good. We started with a half dozen raw oysters on the half shell to share, which came with lemon, horseradish, mignonette, and hot sauce. I had the Lobster Roll with Kettle Chips (Tender pieces of lobster meat tossed in house chive & lemon dressing, toasty split-top bun, greens). This was buttery and really hit the spot. My companions had the 8-ounce Grilled Salmon and the Seafood Bowl (shrimp, lobster, ahi, crab, roasted corn, Manhattan style tomato broth, arugula, grilled baguette). My only regret is not getting a side of beer cheese for the kettle chips! Next time I'd go for the signature Pan Fried Walleye, Fish & Chips (Walleye), or the Walleye Hoagie as it is the Minnesota state fish after all.

After our order was in and we had our appetizer we waited and waited for drink refills so I had to get my own from the bar. Another five minute wait after that, still no server so I had to get my mother another mojito from the bar. When the food arrived, my wife was served walleye when she had ordered salmon and the server had the nerve to show my wife what she had written down, walleye of course, and she said "I wouldn't have written down walleye if you didn't say it". My wife doesn't like walleye and we all heard her say salmon! To top it off, I ordered the ribeye steak and granted it said "market price" but never did I imagine it was $120 on the bill and the potatoes were dripping with grease to the point I couldn't eat them. We could have paid less @ Manny's Steakhouse in Minneapolis for less and the service would have been excellent. For the prices in this place the service should never be this bad. The music was bad and too loud, and the place was nearly empty. We will never go back.

I liked it for the view. The ambience and the live music. I really enjoyed the service by oour waitress. It was her first week and she did a great job. I did not particularly enjoy my food. I got the seafood boil and I thought it was under seasoned. I didn't particularly enjoy my food but the crowd. The scenes and the music made up for it.

Chelsey took care of us! Love the fish tacos. Hubby said BBQ sauce on his burger was a bit tangy. But gorgeous bar, ambience! Greta service. 10/10.

Lovely spot by the lake. I visit Alexandria several times a year and one of my biggest disappointments is that there are very few places to eat on or near one of the many lakes! I can not believe I have never been here before.The options for vegan and vegetarians are decent- better than average greater MN restaurant but I wish there was more creativity. Not sure there any truly vegan items but I had the mushroom sandwich and held the cheese. It was quite good as was the tomato soup (vegetarian not vegan). The Serrano margarita sounded promising but was disappointing. Why do restaurants make these so sweet? Way too much syrup and soda. Make it smaller with no soda, more lime and syrup. I want to taste the tequila land lime. The setting is perfect. Many seats have a lakeside view and the food was generally good. This will be a new favorite for my Alexandria visits

Hey, what's with all the negative reviews of this place?If you are on lake time, vacation time... get over it. This place provided the perfect amount of drinks, food and attitude that I needed today. We sat mid bar with air conditioning and open doors to the outside and it was so comfortable.

Very dog friendly. Had a great meal looking at the lake. They made kids meal for our girl and she loved it
