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.

We chatted and played a few etab games (be aware: ticket cash-out will print behind the bar, so you have to go up there to ask for it-- they won't bring it to you). Place started out slow and picked up speed. Our bartender, who only works a few days a month, was cool and polite. He got a little overwhelmed towards the end, but the place seemed short staffed for a Friday. Positive: Kegger Tators we're delish! Tasted like a sour cream and chive mashed potato with crispy goodness on the outside. Petty melt had a decent rye bread. Improve: Chicken wings were a little dry but at least they're weren't undercooked. Sauces on the side were bottled whatevs, wish they were house made. Wish the fries were crispy and not shoe string. Burger size was small compared to the bread. By the end, we still had to go up several times to get service and the bar wasn't near full.

Place was clean.. I saw they had a homemade Chilli on a menu I found on the Web but when I got there not so much and the menu was quite small... so I had to change my way... you could assemble a burger so I picked my cheese, bacon and toppings... they must fry in peanut oil also cause I always had the flavor lingering after each bite.... Set that aside and their burger is quite good.. they didnt have fries this day and no jalapeño which is an option... for their burger .. I used Texas toast so that was a new and pretty good.... Love the small bar atmosphere... the bar tender was working hard cause seats were full at 3pm on a Sunday can't imagine how crowded this place could get...

At first glance, the place presents itself as a neighborhood dive--a worn-in local haunt where the…read moredécor is secondary to the conversation. But the illusion fades the moment a Bloody Mary arrives at the table. This is a bar that takes its craft seriously. The cocktail was thoughtfully prepared and balanced, revealing an attention to detail rarely found in establishments trading on casual charm alone. The atmosphere is equally compelling: lively without being chaotic, welcoming without feeling manufactured. It possesses the kind of authenticity that cannot be designed or replicated. In an era of increasingly curated hospitality, this remains a genuinely local gathering place--unpretentious, distinctive, and unmistakably its own.

We like our walleye and eggs for breakfast, and decided to try out the Squirrel's Nest. It is a…read moresmall establishment with a bar to the left and seating area, to the right, with two smaller tables on the side of the bar. We arrived about 10:00 am, and it was packed. It was very loud with people talking, due to the small space. We sat at our table and waited awhile for a server, but didn't know if we needed to order at the bar. After a while, a waitress arrived to take our order. She was very joyful and friendly. We both ordered the walleye and eggs, which included hashbrowns and toast. My husband added cheese and onions on the hashbrowns at no extra cost. We also ordered a Bloody Mary, which came with a chaser. They arrived with a spear of mozzarella cheese, pimento olive, smoked sausage, and a dill pickle. The walleye had a nice thin crust and the eggs and hashbrowns were cooked perfectly. My better half said that he didn't taste any onions in the hashbrowns and they used American cheese, which made them runny. It was a good breakfast, and we enjoyed our time there. However, due to the loudness, we probably won't go back, as it was hard to have a conversation. Be aware that they only take cash, but they do have an ATM in the building. This establishment definitely had a great atmosphere and service, with friendly staff.
