“One of the only places we could find that was open on Thanksgiving. We were immediately greeted and drink orders were taken promptly. We had an appetizer of cheese garlic toast which arrived quickly and was delicious. We also had the Thanksgiving dinner which had huge, generous portions and the Roadhog pizza. The two staff members who were working checked in on us frequently and made sure we had everything we needed. So grateful we found this place!“

“We loved our dinner here - generous portions and affordable prices for a night out. Wine list was thoughtfully curated and well priced too. The Jell-O shots were such a fun touch! Especially loved the Goodbye Earl cocktail. We had a number of outstanding dishes. The overall winner was the steak tartare but the grilled prawns and scallops were wonderful as well.“

“Excellent staff, great selection of microbrew beers as well as Domestic beers , large choices of liquor, Homemade pizza available. Great atmosphere , your all time neighborhood gathering place, very clean ,especially the restrooms, I go there time and time again.if your ready to meet your friends or family, or go out alone it's a safe place to be ! 🤗“

“It's a dive bar so ambiance isn't amazing but every single thing else is fantastic about this place. Great food, attentive staff, it is cash only but they have an ATM. I recommend coney dog with cheese if your ever interested in trying it out“

“Loved the space, great band (The Comebacks), and the craft cocktails are awesome. Don't miss the drink called Hot Dog Water. It's great!
It would be nice if they offered even bar snacks, chips, a Heggies ..something. But it's great either way!“

“small town bar atmosphere. great drinks, nice people.“

“This place is a solid dive bar that takes you right back to the '70s. It's not fancy, just good drinks at great prices. The place is super relaxed, and the crowd is friendly and laid-back. It’s in the heart of downtown. This bar is an adults type place, though—wouldn't recommend bring the kids. If you're looking for a no-frills spot to grab a drink and relax, this is it. Highly recommend!“

“Stopped by after going to a show at the Dugout because we wanted some vegetables and had such a pleasant experience! Our bartender Derek took great care of us and was extremely friendly and attentive. Appreciated the popcorn and the bruschetta salad special was delicious. The vibes at Wildwood are super cozy as well. Definitely worth popping in for a drink or a meal or a snack!“

“This has become a favorite happy hour hang out. Great value and the best bartenders. Kendrick is amazing.“

“The hours are wrong on Google it says they're only open till 12:00 but it's open till 2:00. That means you guys are shorting your regular bartenders AKA Josh and Derek. They are the best! They're getting shorted because people are probably googling this place and being like it's only open till 12:00 but it's open till 2am actually.“

“Best dive bar in little Canada, let’s go!!“

“When I eat I drink Bloody Mary's they just taste better with my food if I feel like a drink, let me tell you I had a very reasonable priced Bloody Mary and it was on Point I could taste everything in the drink a first for me and it had all the fixings as well, I appreciated that. They also have a place too eat Pop's and Son grill I ordered 4 wings and a brisket topped Baked potato I asked for my wings hard didn't get that but they tasted ok and the brisket was not a lot but also good I didn't bring my wings back because they seemed real busy they brought me someone else's food at first them my order and I appreciated Who I assume was Pop came and talked to his customer's checking on them and their food they gave us A 1 service I work in kitchen's and understand things happen sometimes it's how you react to the situation and after that matters the most and they gave the all. I will try them again because they food is good, and they fact they was busy, busy so that let me know a lil sum People like they food I was also asking people in the line about food and if they been here before and I got more yes than no and good food I heard ok Pop and Sons I'll be back..the bar also had karaoke A good time was had Thanks Cheers“

“nice atmosphere. friendly people“

“Great group of Brothers. A Lodge to be proud of.“

“Good atmosphere, good drink prices. Love the karaoke Friday and Saturday nights..“

“This is an absolutely wonderful male dive bar, it's quiet and has quick service... if you are a female watch out for Steve(married) and be ready for probably too much attention because it's all older men and a couple biddies around.“

“Did not eat at bar but had drinks and the Tony and Jay were our bartenders and were fantastic, very friendly and attentive to our needs. It was my son’s birthday and he enjoyed the great service. There were a lot of customers and it’s nice they just flow don’t make it look like they are over whelmed and serve everyone in timely manner.“

“First and only visit w/ a friend. Friendly service, though I cannot speak to the quality of mixed drinks or beer selection since I'm sober and just ordered a juice and water. Slow night, which was much more my vibe. Very clean establishment on my visit. Definitely preferable to the 617 bar. Don't go there. Come here instead. WB Bar has more space, they have pool tables, AND the beautiful bartender is far more polite to those who are new and aren't looking to be treated like an out of towner when they are in fact more local than some of these other snobs! 🤓☮️“

“*Real bar with actual humans working there.

Yes, I got roasted for taking too long to order on a busy Tuesday night. Yes, the pool tables are confusing if you’re new. Yes, there is almost always some absurd event happening and often an unexpected cash-only cover.

I find myself unable to stay away.

I love drag, pool, beer, & queers. I like a bar without much fluff but a ton of character.

This is that bar. Its consistent. It’s dive-y, yet whimsical. I have yet to try to food; what should I order?“

“Had dinner before a concert. The bar scene was relaxed. The food was amazing. The pizza was so good. Almost deep dish and superb. Our bartender “Georgia” made the best margaritas, and she knows so much about Tupelo. Her service was impressive. This restaurant/bar is a must see if you are coming to Tupelo. We’ll be back.“

“Beer flights at the Minnesota state fair that change daily. A very cool way to check out some Minnesota beers at the fair. Buy a flight ticket from the booth first then pick which flight option you want. There is also a booth with merchandise there too.“

“Highly recommend! Excellent. The restaurant is cozy and tropical and you feel like you’re on vacation. But the showstopper is the food. Pricey but worth every penny! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“They never had anything for half time to snack on. Beers were cold..“

“Not too many places left where you can grab a $5 Bell's Two Hearted, but then again, it's a cash only bar, so that maybe makes up the difference.

Lots of different events going on for going in for cheap eats and cheap drinks.

We were surprised at how welcoming and inviting the bartender and the folks there were. We were expecting a very different environment but it's a very friendly place!

We went in on a Tuesday night and it was very quiet, will have to visit again on a weekend.“

“Great tour by Cade. Beautiful facility and even better whiskey. Can’t wait to go back!“
