Their schtick is that every "s" on the menu is replaced with a "z", which the kids got a kick out of. They have some creative pizzas, which are quite good. A big beer list with a lot of a variety. Reasonable costs for everything. They have an arcade area and it is quite big inside, with a cabin feel. Also have a small live music stage and a nice patio that we didn't use as it was not the season for that, but I'm sure it is wonderful in the summer! Their model is to order at the bar, no table service, but it works very well without a hitch. Super fun place and family friendly!

We sat outside which was great since it was a great day. The waitress was quick and attentive. I would say eat here if you have to but not because you really want a good meal.

As we parted ways she even gave us recos on shops to visit. We highly recommend Bar 209 for families of all ages.

This seems to be the place to dine in Bemidji so we went to check it out. We had a reservation and…read morewere given a great smaller booth which I prefer to the large shared tables. Our server was working her tail off, with a large table near us, outdoor patio tables, and many tables inside. To that end, we waited a bit here and there but she was apologetic and clearly working hard so no worries. We started with dry rub, bone in wings which I accompanied with a Bemidji IPA. Both were fabulous. Next, we split a smash burger with fries. The meal had a lot of potential but the fries were warm, not hot, and the burger a little small (but it did have a double patty and tons of sauted onions). We finished the meal with the Big Cookie Sundae and big it was. Waaaay too much to eat with only 2 people. The cookie was delicious. Soft and gooey inside with a nice crisp around the outside edges of the cookie. We tried but couldn't finish it. Liked the brewery vibe in there with lots of seating and exposed brick. Nice stop.

I hate to rate (whoa, rhyme!) a place solely based on a singular visit, however I do think this…read moreoccasion is appropriate. Scenario- weekday visit- two first time guests. Walked in and was awkwardly greeted by locals (turning around away from their usual bar seats) staring at me deliberately as I entered like that of outlaws in a western film observing an outsider. (Maybe I'm just that hot? Haha! No way) Anyway, the uncomfortable awkwardness was instantly wiped away by our adorable server. She promptly greatest us kindly, in her northern plaid attire, fair complexion and strawberry blonde hair. She kept very good care of us throughout our visit, but my one complaint is- she never offered a drink menu to us. In a bar that's a bit strange. Ever been the sole sober table in a bar? Unfortunately I have many, many times. In bar standards the food was good, and for the price I would recommend.

An order of eight chicken wings was $16 and a basket of breaded mushrooms was $10. The chicken wings looked like they were from a nuclear power plant dump and they were thoroughly disgusting.

I definitely do not recommend this place and I will not be back on the service factor alone.

This place was great - super friendly service, reasonable prices, big portions, AND tasty food! Nothing flashy, but everything we tried was good. We had cheese curds and fried green beans to start, my son got shepherd's pie, and my husband and I both got fish & chips, and we got a little two pack of monster cookies to go for dessert (yum) - we would definitely return here!

Food 5/5: the outside of this place gives dive bar vibes, but the food absolutely wow'd us. We got pretzels and the fried green beans for appetizers, both were very good. It was a cooler summer day, so many of us opted for the comfort food. I got the chicken and it was spiced absolutely perfectly. The rice was done to perfection, the chunks of chicken complimented by the sauce. I would absolutely go back for just that. They have a great menu selection and great kid meal options. Service 5/5: our waitress was very friendly and attentive. She took our order quickly and the food also came quickly. Ambiance 5/5: like I said earlier, this place gives dive bar vibes from the outside. The inside is definitely more elevated. Plenty of room and seating with a great patio for nice days.
