13 Best Bars near Shafer

“Stopped in for Monday night bingo and it was a good time for everyone in our group. We had French fries, California burgers, and signature burgers (burgers were on special) along with loaded nachos. The service was just right too. We will definitely be back for bingo and burgers, maybe even a pizza next time. Was a nice experience.Parking: There is parking out front of the building on both sides of the street and there is also a decent sized lot out back for overflow parking all of which is close to an entrance.“

“Just like the previous owner's: Same big burgers etc, and they will pull in bands that you would only expect to find at a much larger venue in the Twin Cities. Last act I saw, the singer had just recently been featured on national network.“

“After reading other reviews of the Crystal tavern the wife and I decided to give it a shot. It's true that you get free drinks if you're gambling! They have a few 4 seat tables and possibly the most comfortable bar stools I've ever sat on. The only thing that I didn't like about our experience was that our Jack and Cokes were extremely weak, like 1/2 of an ounce and served in a disposable cup. I guess that's why the majority of the people there were drinking cans/bottles of beer.Pull tabs + free drinks= fun! That is if you win. Worth a stop though.“

“Had breakfast on Saturday. They open at 9am, and when we got there at 9:20 the place was packed. Friendly folks. The cook looked all of 18 we braced ourselves for ‘just ok’ food. We could not have been more wrong.His hash browns were crispier and more delicious than most twenty year cooks. The skillet breakfast was ample and amazing. Ate til full and still leftovers for the next day.Just one of those incredible hole-in-the-wall places. Totally worth the drive.“

“I'm glad this place is still around. It's been pretty well kept. It's a full bar and the sports TV's are perfectly positioned to watch at the bar. Bartender is really nice. Local gal came in and gave us all free pastries I'd never had before that were really good.“

“It was a Monday night 1/2 price burger baskets, They had pool table leagues going on and only the bartender and cook was working so the bartender was extremely busy but she did the best she could. The girlfriend and myself both got burger baskets and they were excellent.“

“St. Croix tavern is your standard Wisconsin bar. They have a full bar, darts, pull tabs, and pool. What more could you want? The owner and bartender is a nice guy and this place has live music pretty frequently. Prices are standard for a bar in the area. It's a clean place with few frills. Just good drinks and good conversations.“

“Had lunch after our trip on the train. We were with a large group of friends. We were able to call ahead and told them we had a large group and they were able to accommodate us when we got there. The food was fabulous. Had the classic hamburger and it was very good! My husband had the Ruben and he said it was small but very good. Will most definitely come back again.“

“Cozy and fun environment. The food was beyond delicious and prepared perfectly. Our waitress was friendly and attentive even though it was very busy. We will definitely be going here again.Parking: Parking is free on the street and there is also a free parking lot in the back. Close to entrance either way.Kid-friendliness: Family friendly environment. Great kid's menu.“

“This bar was really nice a calm space that is nothing like your average greasybar cute little small town bar but better the food was really good not that greasy at all bar the food was really good service was really good good energy everywhere a little wait but definitely worth it and a good place to bring your family very welcoming really enjoyed -anonymous“

“If you ever get stuck in the city of Osceola during their annual parade, try a pit stop at Tippy Canoes! Haha, we weren't planning to go here, but had a great time anyway. Food was great, the Vikings football game was on a big screen inside the bar area, and I really enjoyed the beautiful outdoor patio. The service was a bit slow, but I think they only had one waitress for the entire outdoor area. Honestly, she may have had to wait on tables inside too. But, we weren't in a hurry to get anywhere that day so we just tried to enjoy the sunshine.“

“Went there for the fish fry. We do fish fry's all over the twin cities during lent and I was very impressed with these guys! Service was phenomenal, drinks were fabulous and we played bingo and enjoyed the evening very much. The rest of the menu looked really good so we will be back to check that out. I highly recommend!“
