“Above and by far the finest old fashioned in town. They have an excellent scotch selection as well. The people are wonderful and the owner Rob especially make you feel welco e and comfortable. If your not drinking here, or even just showing up to say hello and grabbing a soda, then you are missing out on one of the very best parts of downtown brainerd.“

“So a guy from Pine City goes into this place and over a weekend, has new friends and a lot of fun memories. Just talking with the old timers and the locals. I can’t say enough about the bar, the bartenders, the karaoke and the locals that hang out as well as the out of towers like me. Would never think of going to Brainerd without stopping in“

“The bar is amazing! The Bartenders are fast, and the drinks are reasonable! Highly recommend!“

“We’d had a day full of errands in and around the Brainerd area. By late afternoon we still had our Costco trip ahead of us, but we were both feeling spent and weary from the day. We decided to look for a new happy hour location in Brainerd and found B Merri. The online reviews looked promising, and there were some vegetarian items on the menu so we blew off the Costco trip, crossed our fingers and headed north out of town.
The vibe was exactly what we were looking for, and the staff was friendly. Our waitress, Hannah, was devoted to making sure we were enjoying ourselves. Her recommendations were spot-on, and she offered us samples of IPAs she thought we might like (We did!) Our favorite was an IPA called “Old geezer” or something like that. Bright and refreshing. Hannah recommended the bruschetta platter. It was gorgeous and delicious. Quality shaved parm, fresh cherry tomatoes, halved and drizzled with balsamic, little baby smoked mozzarella balls, caramelized onions, fresh pesto with slices of bread that were soft and perfectly toasted with a light crunch. The chef made a specialty sandwich for us out of portabellas and Hannah recommended the sweet potato fries for the side. I cannot remember ever having better. Crispy and flavorful with a yummy sauce for dipping.

We highly recommend B Merri and look forward to returning! Thanks to Hannah and Chef for turning our afternoon around!“

“Weekday bartenders are the best.“

“We're from Wisconsin went to play bingo on Saturday afternoon sat at the bar we had a young lady who bartended who was unbelievable she had a German accent I've never seen anybody hustle like she did it was a very very good experience“

“We called around to resorts in the area mostly to ask about winter lake access. Other resorts basically pushed us off and hung up if we were not currently booked with them. Ernie's however was so helpful, friendly and informative when we called, they really stood out from the other locations. This will be our go to place on Gull Lake from here on out.“

“Absolutely love this place! Great food and staff! The owners are Awesome! Best burgers around! 100% recommend.“

“Went to St. Mathias last night with mama and had some excellent food and great drinks, great staff were very attentive and I got to see Big Al!! We will definitely be back! 5 star all the way“

“I don’t typically write reviews, but I went to this restaurant 1.5 months ago and had their chicken salad sandwich and a bloody mary. I became a part of the clean plate club that day. This is the best sandwich I’ve ever had in my entire life. The buns, the perfect temperature of the chicken salad, love and kisses in every bite. The fries were also amazing as well as the Bloody Mary. I live like 3 hours away but have thought of driving that far just for this sandwich. I think about it so much I had to come and write a review because it crosses my mind more than it should. The waitress was also super nice! One day I will be reunited with this sandwich again!“
