Love, love, love this spot. On a recent trip to the area, we stopped by here for dinner one evening. I think it was our favorite dinner of the trip. Patsy's serves up some delicious eats and their patio? All blooming, shaded loveliness. The first thing to note is that if you're dining on the patio, you'll want to run inside and grab some menus. You'll order at the bar. For my dinner I ordered their patty melt served on marbled rye, which was everything a patty melt ought to be (so good!). For my side, I opted for the onion rings which were battered (I prefer this over breaded) and perfectly crispy. Zero complaints on the pub grubtastic food. I also ordered an whiskey old fashioned, which was prepared in the Wisconsin style and was great. The service was also lovely. When I was ordering, the gentleman in front of me explained that he had been coming here for 30 years and it's the same guy behind the bar--amazing. Also, I totally accidentally left my purse on the patio (I only had one drink--just a complete oopsie moment). I didn't realize until the next morning. When I called, they had it stashed behind the bar for me and I was even able to pick it up prior to their opening. Really, above-and-beyond lovely folks working here. Get to it! read more

Visited on the way back from Bayfield Menu was mainly burgers/sandwiches, but overall great food. Beer on tap had a good selection, not so much on wine. Outside patio was very inviting. Overall cleaned comfortable. A stop worth it. read more

Food is good but right when I take a bite from the mozzarella sticks they were cold and mushy in the inside I was expecting very good cause I have ate here before but just horrible mozzarella sticks. Good service. And only took 20 minutes. Place is good just don't order the mozzarella sticks read more

The service was great, food came out quick, and it was delicious. I liked the ability to sub fries out for cheese curds or tots. The location has a nice outside seating area. The inside area is a little plain, but there is a cool woodworking shop next door. read more

Mom & Pop shop. Had the Sat night special which was Prime rib. Excellent! Great side salad with it along with American spuds. The owners wife waited on us , was really friendly and we got excellent service! Friend had Prime rib and really enjoyed it. His son had a burger, and devoured it which was perfectly done. Place is in the main drag, Entrance is on the side, which is accessed from the parking lot. Place small and narrow, and gets busy. We were lucky and got in at the end of the rush and didn't really wait long for food. Kind of rustic looking inside, sports bar feel, has several TV's. They have some local microbrews ( I had Southshore brewing, which is in town and puts out good brews. Great place! Do stop here! read more

Food was really good once you got it. We got the Northwoods burger and prime rib Philly cheesesteak. Busy place with a small kitchen so food took a bit.The atmosphere and staff were great. Everyone was so friendly. Will stop again. read more

Had dinner here Sunday night after finding no place to eat in Bayfield, where we were staying. Eating here was not our intention, but Patsy's was about the only place open and serving food at 7:30 p.m. So we went in. We were not disappointed. Really good burgers. Strong selection of draft beer. Good people. Attentive service. There was nothing not to like. Eating here Sunday was not our intention, but a happy (and delicious) accident. We'd happily return. Enjoy. read more

Only giving this 2 stars because of the lovely outdoor patio with fire pits. However, our experience was less than desirable. We went on a Friday night to try their famous fish fry dinner at about 7 pm. After waiting 20 minutes for someone to even look in our direction to order, we were told they were out of fish. Huge disappointment. Once we decided on what else to order, we had to wait another 20-30 mins for someone to take our order. We tried waving someone down and the female blonde bartender rudely told us to wait while she helped everyone else get drinks. Another bartender ended up stepping in and apologized, but we were already upset and fed up by their poor level of service plus not having the food we wanted. The food was not worth the prices we paid; there were only three of us there and it cost $80 for three entrees of mediocre bar food, three Coors beers, and two seltzers. I have no interest in repeating this experience so we will not be back. read more

Traveled from the west coast to see friends and this place was a highlight of our trip. The burgers were excellent and the service as exactly what you'd want: friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend to everyone, even families with little kids. read more

We stopped in at Patsy's for lunch today and I'm so glad we did! Nothing fancy, but friendly staff, good service and delicious food.

We were in Washburn, for our first time, for the Book Across the Bay. We were looking for a place for dinner, last Friday night, and came across Patsy's. I had the fish fry and my wife had a burger. Both were fantastic. We decided to go there for dinner again, on Sunday, so that I could try one of their burgers. Again, both of our dinners were fantastic. Very good beer selections. During both of our visits, the service was very good. It also has a nice, fun atmosphere. read more

Patsy has my vote for best burger in the Bay Area. Their options are flavorful and well cooked. Their fries were delicious. Draft selections were creative and the happy hour pricing was very fair for craft brews in the north woods. They even had a tasty veg burger for my vegetarian husband. With a friendly atmosphere, we will be returning again soon. This place is very worth the stop! read more

One of the best burgers you'll ever have! Everything else is great too! From the plain old bar burger to whatever the special of the day is, I have had nothing but outstanding food here! Even when they are busy, the staff is friendly and efficient. A must stop if driving through Washburn! read more

Took an unexpected trip to Bayfield this past weekend with some friends who used to live in the Bayfield area and they took us to Patsy's for lunch. All I can say is OMG!! I had the Patsy Classic burger and my husband had the mushroom swiss burger and they were probably the best burgers we have ever had. They were grilled to perfection on a lightly grilled bun with cola grilled onions and a slice of cheese of your choice, I had American cheese. And then the fries! They came out hot and crispy, not soggy and limpy! The service was spot on, friendly and very attentive! I highly recommend Patsy's if you are ever in Washburn (Bayfield) area!! read more

Had a beer and a burger. That was one of the best burgers I have had and I've had a lot of burgers. It tasted just the way it should. Like delicious death on a bun. My bf had the bacon blue burger and he agrees. read more

Patsy's Bar has gotten nothing but great over the years. They really have turned that place around in the past couple of years. I remember going in there when I was younger and it being a shit hole, but when I recently went back, the place did a complete 360! I was impressed. They have a limited menu, but what they do have, they cook well. Full bar, bad selection of beer, but that's Northern Wisconsin for ya! Darts, pool, drinks, and food! read more

First time I've tried the Barbs Chicken Sandwich, I like it! A little messy but very good.

Nice little bar - was recommended by a local for good fish fry and did not disappoint. Good service, although I question if waiter had really forgot to put or order in (and then is showed up like 2 minutes later). Good fish fry (huge piece of whitefish) and good fries. Good food, reasonably priced and good drinks. read more

Lively place in Washburn right on the main drag, popular with both locals and touristas. Got some good beers on tap and the burgers are very tasty. Fries were very good as well. Service was prompt and friendly. Some playing cards and dollar bills attached to the ceiling, not sure why. read more

If you want to know what is going on in the city of Washburn, this is the place to go.

Excellent beer selection, tap and bottles. The cheese curds were battered and fried and served hot. The burgers were delicious smothered in fried onions and cheese, served on a fresh roll. It's easy to drive through Washburn and not see Patsy's. Take your time and stop in for an understated delightful experience. read more

Great burgers. Specials are excellent. Service is pretty good despite the annoying bad attitude of our server.

If you go anywhere in Washburn, go to Patsy's for a burger. We had both the fiesta and original burger and both were excellent! Plus, as an added bonus, the fries were perfectly crispy. All this in a hometown bar atmosphere where they cook the burgers in front of you and treat you right with great service! read more

Awesome little place! Great craft beer selection with a good welcoming atmosphere. The burgers are phenomenal!

Absolutely delicious burger and accommodated with fries, the portion keeps you well over satisfied! read more

Awesome burgers! Favorite place to do for a drink with friends and hang out with good food!
