8 Best Bars in Gaylord

“Pine Squirrel was recommended to use by the Business Manager at Jim Weirnig. It did not disappoint. My pizza was cheesy and delicious. My husband had a specialty Sloppy Burger that he enjoyed. You have choice of chips or potato salad and he chose the potato salad and said it was very good. The service was amazing and it did not take long to get our food. We give this a 10 out of 10 ranking and highly recommend it.“

“Great owners, great drinks and great customers. Always have a great time at Karma Taproom.“

“We’ve just had a delicious dinner here at Inn the Woods. Excellent salmon, pretzel bites and the spinach artichoke dip for apps, plus an incredible French Dip sandwich. Fast and friendly service as always! Thank you Kyle and staff for making sure your customers leave smiling and come back for more. You’re all doing an excellent job!“

“Nowicki’s sausages are a family favorite. We place orders to be shipped to California about once per year, unless I make a trip to Michigan, then i load up my suitcase up for the trip back. My favorite is Jalapeño Cheddar, my wife’s is BBQ honey, and my brother’s appears to be the Polish.“

“Yo! That Sunnyside is the nectar of the Gods! Great food, great folks, delicious beverages.“

“We attended a very small wedding reception at Tavern Inn the Woods last weekend and it was very nice. The food was good, the private room was beautiful, the servers were professional, and the bar was fully stocked with a pleasant and competent bartender... and she made me a tasty 'adult' coffee, which I needed in the cold weather! 😉“

“This restaurant is one of the most welcoming places around. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere makes you feel comfortable and taken care of. Trina’s service really stands out—she has such a great way of making guests feel at home. She’s amazing at helping you find the perfect drink and always has spot-on menu recommendations. You can tell she genuinely wants everyone to have a great experience. Between the friendly vibe, great service, and delicious food and drinks, it’s definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to!“

“Stopped into The Iron Pig Smokehouse and had a pretty good experience overall. The service was friendly and attentive, and the food came out quickly which is always a plus. You can tell they take pride in what they’re doing.

That said, while everything was cooked well and presented nicely, the food could use a bit more flavor and spice to really make it stand out. It’s good BBQ, just missing that extra kick that takes it to the next level.

All in all, still worth checking out—great atmosphere and solid service, just hoping for a little more boldness in the flavors next time!“
