It is a pet-friendly spot where visitors can arrive by boat or car, making it a great choice for both casual meals and special treats.

The Bridge Bar (aka Packer Bar) immediately caught the eye of visitors from Wisconsin. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, with lots of Packers memorabilia and a friendly crowd that made them feel right at home. The Bloody Mary was well-balanced, flavorful, and satisfying, and the soft pretzel was one of the best they've ever had - warm, insanely fresh, and with the perfect chewy texture and the right amount of salt. The beer cheese dip that came with it was smooth and creamy, adding a great savory touch.

The service was awesome, with the server being very attentive, cordial, and a total pleasure. The food was delicious, and the live music by The Gentlemen Outlaws was outstanding. The staff also went above and beyond, holding onto a large bag of souvenirs left behind and mailing it back to the guests.
