15 Best Bars near Nisswa

“Great food, views, drinks... live music on Friday and Saturday. An intimate woodsy venue. Top notch staff. And I think you can play golf here if you’re into that sort of thing.“

“Great food and service! We had the shrimp tacos and a Reuben. Both were excellent. Very good tap list and drinks as well.“

“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!“

“The best stop for food in the area! We all love getting lunch from shiners!“

“We enjoyed lunch on the patio around noon on a perfectly sunny day. Great burgers, sandwiches, and home-made-beef stew! Our server was very friendly and efficient. She was also the bartender and hostess that day, so doing everything. She deserves a raise.“

“Always good food & service. We live down the road & it’s our go to place! Always has our drinks ready when they see us!“

“We had dinner at the Commander last night. We were a little hesitant because of a spate of not very good reviews but, wound up with a really good experience. Our server, Heather, was quite pleasant, and very attentive. The food and drinks were really good and served promptly. The prime rib was a healthy portion and very good. The $25 price was well worth it. Reviews can be very interesting. The only thing I can say is that if the spotty reviews were earned, and I have no basis for not believing other reviewers, then just maybe management learned from them. Our experience was very good and I wouldn't hesitate to go back“

“I absolutely love eating here! The vibe is always relaxing. I have never had a beverage or plate that I did not love.“

“If you are coming to the Brainerd Lakes area a visit to Ernie's is a must. They represent what we are about up here: water, beautiful settings in nature and some of the best food you can find. Their creativity, presentation, and taste exceed the norm. Do not miss Ernie's!“

“Go here quite often. Great staff, food, and fun. I highly recommend.“

“Cole at the bar was awesome! Always on his toes. Appetizers were yummy! We will be back“

“Breakfast Skillet! Ordered milk & it came in a chilled glass, super nice“

“We stopped by this evening for dinner. There was a sign posted, they were short staffed and there could be a wait for service. One young girl had all the tables and did a fantastic job. We did NOT have to wait at all. She stayed on top of things. We ordered the chicken Chimichangas and the chicken enchiladas. both were excellent! We would order again! While the building is a little tired, the food makes up for it!! We will be back!!“

“A group of friends and I were at the Commander on Friday and Saturday night...we were so impressed with our waitress both nights. She was working with a broken arm and was always there when we needed a drink or something from the menu. She had a great attitude and was super fun. I believe her name was Alyssa.“
