    A giant shark above the patio bar
    Emily W.

    After a walk at the Weimar Institute, we decided to check out The Red Frog near Rollins Lake--and I'm so glad we did. Seriously, this place is a total hidden gem. The staff was so nice--I really wish I remembered the bartender's name, because she was amazing. She said she'd worked there for a long time, and honestly, I couldn't give her enough compliments. She was fun, friendly, super welcoming, and just had great energy. Her customer service was top-tier and totally added to the whole vibe. The bar itself is wild in the best way. There's a giant shark hanging from the ceiling, red fire hydrant-style light fixtures, planes, and a plethora of tchotchkes--just so many random, awesome things to look at. It's quirky, fun, and actually cozy in the best way. You can tell it has a story. We sat outside on the patio and the view is unreal. You're up on this hill looking out over the forest and mountains, there's old vintage trucks and a boat just chillin' on the lawn, and even a plane hidden on the side yard. It's a uniquely magical little spot tucked in the mountains. And the food? It's hot dogs, hamburgers and fries, but it's perfect. They don't overdo it--it's simple, good, and exactly what you want while soaking in the vibe. Honestly, if you're anywhere near Colfax or Rollins Lake, stop here. It's fun, it's different, and I'll definitely be back.

    This is such a cute little dive bar. Was not expecting the spectacular covered patio and view. Quirky little dive bar with all sorts of frog decor. Worth a visit! Cheers

    The view

    Would recommend! Post hike rehydration station. Don't tell your friends. Sit on the back patio for the views and the nostalgia of second hand smoke. Frosty beer & jalapeño poppers hit the spot. Dive bar with a view. To be honest (from one lesbian to another) some of the clientele might be a tad homophobic but the bartender is really cool and has excellent trail tips. Worth the stop!

    Cheeseburger, french fries (mountain), jalapeño poppers.

    Great music in the background, mellow/country. Service was fast for drinks, a little slow for the food. Burger was really good, french fries were good, though a little soft. Jalapeño poppers were decent. I would go back again, especially for just drinks.

    Craig P said turn off at the Colfax exit. Just off highway 174 is this rustic bar over looking a timber filled valley. As we pulled in around 2:30 on a Friday afternoon, we all rolled our eyes. The parking lot was full of motorcycles. What was Craig thinking taking us girls to a biker bar ? But walk straight thru the bar to the back where there's a large back porch bar. (Full of bikers, just enjoying the view and beer like us). The view is spectacular. Miles of trees. Stone outcroppings. Blue skies. Red frogs hanging from trees. And timed right you can see a train ride the mountain side. Service was quick and with a smile. The menu prices amused us more than the bikers. See picture below. $1.87 for corn dog. $6.05 for cheeseburger. Cute. Two cheeseburgers, mountain of fries, wings, corn dog and five adult beverages had a check of $45 for four people. Decent food and drink with stellar view at great prices- acceptable !!! Swing in for a break from I 80 driving and check the view and food out. You may even get a fist bump and a smile from a very large biker.

    Right place to just relax and look at the best view in Colfax. Taco Tuesday is my favorite. Most taco you can get for the money.

I was disappointed and ended up throwing the rest away when I got home. In addition, they wanted to charge me a few extra dollars for the benefit of using my credit card instead of paying cash. Fortunately, I had cash on me and used that instead. Just imagine all the "free" money this restaurant is racking up daily from customers who use their credit cards instead of paying cash, which they may not have on them. I truly view that as thievery. Even if the restaurant has to pay a small transaction fee to the credit card company when a customer uses a credit card -- they can still write off those fees. But their customers can't write off those few extra dollars that they have to pay the restaurant in order to use their credit card. I will never step foot in their restaurant again. Colfax deserves better!

From the moment you walk in, the space feels intimate, sultry, and effortlessly romantic, with a beautifully executed 1920s speakeasy vibe that makes you feel like you've stumbled upon one of Roseville's best-kept secrets. They require a password to get in of which you can get by following them on Instagram. What really sets House Divided apart, though, is the passion behind it. The couple who owns the place has clearly gone to great lengths to create an exceptional cocktail experience. You can tell they genuinely love their craft, and that attention to detail comes through in both the atmosphere and the drinks. The cocktail menu is thoughtfully curated across a wide range of spirits, with enough creativity and variety to appeal to just about every palate. My wife and I especially enjoy coming here as the seasons change to see what new creations they've introduced, while still being able to fall back on favorites from their regular menu. Their Old Fashioneds are exceptional, and as someone who gravitates toward tequila and mezcal, I'm always impressed by what they do with those spirits. The Cozy Old Fashioned is a personal favorite, but I've yet to have a cocktail here that felt like an afterthought. Everything feels intentional, well-crafted, and true to the personality of the place. If you appreciate intimate cocktail bars, speakeasy culture, and bartenders who truly care about their craft, House Divided is absolutely worth discovering. It has become one of our favorite spots for a romantic drink and a place we genuinely look forward to returning to each season.

The room is small but surprisingly fit two large groups and a few couples. There's a bar plus a few tables and couches. The bartenders are very focused and work hard at their craft.

We enjoyed: - pomegranate martini: light and fruity, good pomegranate flavor - yuzu lime drop: seasonal for summer only! - the First Lady: strong but smooth; came with a nicely cut ice cube - whiskey sour: classic flavor, executed well The drinks were great but I really wish there was some sort of snack to munch on. Even peanuts or mixed nuts would have been welcome. Adding a small food menu of bar snacks would make me stay longer!
