First time to this bar/restaurant and was excited to try it out. There is a new large deck with…read moreseating and lights out front that offered many tables with a street view. The inside has been newly renovated and seems the restrooms (there are two) are both shared gender. That being said, the employees should visit them more often to be sure they are stocked and clean (and to be shouted the floor is not wet). We had a group of 5 and then sometimes had a couple more. No table service, you had to go to the bar and order and wait for your drinks. There was food to order, burgers, wings, etc but we only had drinks. The staff was friendly, but it is a newer place and possibly working through that. Will try again in the future

The pickle shots were briny and a little spicy, so good they make you think you need another! Our food was freshly made and piping hot! (We were cautioned that it would be, thank you) The dry rub wings were big, juicy and crispy. The rub, their own recipe, was phenomenal. Brown sugary with a little heat and other flavors. Their fried pickles are the best I've ever had. Sandwich slices, hand dipped. So good! This is a Veteran owned business as well. Thank you for your service. We'll be back soon!

I ordered the PBJ smash burger and it was dry and overcooked to the point of being burnt. The chips were good, but the pickle fries were soggy and tasted like old oil.

A solid place to stop by!…read more We came during an extended weekend trip for lunch, drinks, and the pool. We were seated pretty quickly but this place DOES fill up fast (that includes the pool). The front has a place to order different t shirts from the wall then there's a small indoor seating area and a lot of patio seating outside. We ordered the jumbo crab rangoons, jalapeno poppers, and club sandwich. Although there was a bit of a wait the food was good and had good portion sizes which helps if you're there day drinking. Our waitress was friendly and helpful although a bit on the slower side with checking in and bringing items we requested. We waited about 20 minutes to get boxes and our checks. If you walk down the stairs from the restaurant there's the gated pool area. As it was summer it was packed even on a weekday. There's bars and bathrooms right next to the pool as well as a swim up bar. This was helpful since we had to get out to order drinks we at least didn't have to go far. Although it was a nice vibe I didn't enjoy that it felt like a hot tub especially in the summer and while drinking. In knowing a large amount of ppl come for the pool I would've hoped they cooled the water down & circulated the water better. Additionally a bit of added staff or security would be helpful to ensure ppl aren't getting ridiculous. I saw someone passed out in a chair from drinking too much and someone else falling over into the chairs unable to walk because of how intoxicated they were. Ofc we're all adults and should be able to control our drinking but ppl prove that theory wrong every time. It caused a bit of an issue with ppl & their stuff being trampled by ppl too drunk to walk and no staff around to help. For those who don't know the added another add on to the location off to the right side of the property. This includes a stage for performances which is cool! Although there isn't a restaurant like there is at the main pool there are food trucks which is a cool concept to get different types of food. Overall will be back to check out the other side.

Our first visit to Encore and it definitely won't be our last!…read more The atmosphere alone is worth the trip. The upper level has a more upscale feel, with a beautiful dining room and an incredible covered outdoor space complete with a stage for live music. The massive windows and stunning views overlooking the peninsula make it the perfect spot to sit back, relax, and enjoy the evening. As for the food... wow. I had the crab legs, which were cooked perfectly, but can we talk about the green beans for a minute? They were ridiculously good. If licking the bowl in public wasn't frowned upon, I might have considered it. Colin ordered the salmon, which was absolutely beautiful and served with rice pilaf. Chris went with the crab-crusted walleye, and it was cooked to perfection. Emma Grace chose the giant pretzel, and giant is an understatement, it was the size of a dinner plate! It came with an assortment of charcuterie-style accompaniments that were fantastic all on their own. Then came dessert, and somehow things got even better. The bread pudding was hands-down one of the best I've ever had. I don't eat bread pudding often, but this one may have ruined all future bread puddings for me. We also shared the cheesecake and cookie skillet, and every bite was delicious. To top it all off, our waitress Makayla was absolutely wonderful and made the entire experience even better. Great food, beautiful views, amazing service, and a fantastic atmosphere. Encore knocked it out of the park. We'll definitely be making a return trip next summer!

This little bar is tucked back in a strip of bars and shops. You would definitely miss it if you weren't looking for it. We walked in up to the bar and ordered our drinks. They come in 16 or 32 ounces. This weekend we were offered styrofoam or they usual souvenir bucket. My sister got one and I got the bucket. Not sure why I thought I could drink 32 ounces or Miami Vice but I tried. The hurricane my sister got was delicious. There were quite a few options of frozen drinks, maybe 10. This is a must do, if you love frozen drinks. An odd thing on my way out, was a cage near the door that looked like it could be for a monkey, and there was a mini schnauzer in it. Thought it was a bit odd leaving a dog in a cage inside a smoky bar all day, but okay.?

One coin dropping game, a computer type gambling game, and a pin ball machine. The smell of cigarettes was pretty overwhelming and we left with the smell on us for sure. When we walked in it was a bit awkward because it was a little bit older crowd and they all stopped talking to stare at us since it was a small place... The good part about this bar was the friendly bartender, and the variety of frozen drinks. They were very tasty and priced about the same as everywhere else on the lake.
