The pours at the bar are HUGE and the food is made to order and can take some time. The clear thing to order is the burger. They have plenty of winning burgers that they showcase but they are layered with a lot. I think the best way to try a place is with a classic. So we for a bacon cheeseburger and a walleye fish fry since it was Friday. The bacon cheese burger came with the most bacon I have ever seen on a burger. Dare I say too much bacon. The burger itself was a little dry but all together kind of worked. The fish fry wasn't very meaty but the coleslaw and fries were good. Overall, solid place but it's not going to be the best food ever. It's a good place to start with friends then head downtown as the prices were super reasonable and the service was top notch. I'd round to a 3.5 if I could.

You won't run into Peter here, but you'll meet other delightful people -- locals and vacationers. Most of the time, it's closed, but on the rare occasion that you find this building open (usually a weekend evening during warmer weather), it's a bit of a delight. Owned and operated by the people who run Twin Shores next door, this little building has a tiny, crowded bar with one table, and several outdoor tables. The drinks here are the same as the drinks at Twin Shores. It's a perfect spot for an after dinner drink when you want to sit outside and breathe in the fresh lake air on a warm summer night.

The people that work there are really nice. The atmosphere is always calm and cozy. Very very rarely do a few drunk frat boys dribble in there if the Essen Haus is too busy. People seem to overlook it and thats a part of why I love it. The regulars that go there are also really fun. When I want to hang out with a friend and have a good conversation I go to the Up North. Its always really chill in there. There's a pinball machine if you need it. There's always drinks specials. And popcorn. Basically I have no complaints about the Up North. Its a great bar.

My kids enjoyed the pinball machines and the board games they had available, and it was the perfect day to sit outside on the deck.

I definitely plan to return post-partum to enjoy some alcoholic beverages at this fun establishment!

I was supposed to be meeting a group elsewhere nearby when our original place closed without warning. So we headed to The Mason and it was a delightful experience. It was very busy with one bartender, so it took awhile to get your drinks, but they were still well made and the bartender was very friendly. It's a small place so it can get loud when busy, but our group had a great time and we enjoyed the place. It is a dark, neighborhood type vibe. And the sealing the deal of the 5th star for this place is that they were dog friendly. My pup had a great time getting pets from customers. Great find!

The restaurant is fairly small, but cozy. The ambiance is very relaxed and social. It was a bit noisy but a good noisy, not obnoxious noisy; people having good conversations and lots of laughing. Our server greeted us in a timely manner and took our drink order. I ordered an old fashioned, my wife a Hugo spritz. Both were fantastic but just a heads up, the drinks were relatively strong. The menu is relatively small but still enough to choose from and not be disappointed. My wife and I both ordered the 5 oz filet with shrimp. We split a side of green beans. When our food reached our table, we thought that it might not be enough to fill us but we were more than full afterwards and agreed that anything bigger might be too much. The food was excellent, one of the better steaks I've had in a while. The service was good and our server, Sammy, did a real nice job of taking care of us without being overly intrusive. Prices were appropriate for the quality, maybe a little higher than you would expect but still worth it. If you're looking for a high quality, local small town steak experience that isn't a chain, I highly recommend Driftless Social.

On a recent afternoon, I stopped in for lunch. There were plenty of regulars dining and drinking when I arrived around 12:30. During the week, they have a $7 burger and fry lunch special. It was very good. While not fancy, the 1/4 lb burger was chargrilled and tasty. My beer battered fries hot and crispy. A tremendous bargain. A great bar tucked away in an inconspicuous setting. By the way, the swampwaters pack a punch so go easy on them! I will be back.
