“We had Lucky’s/Main Bar do our bar for our wedding and they were fantastic! Several positive comments about Tanya and Bryan about drinks, cleanliness, and promptness during our wedding/party. Bryan was very on top of things prior to the wedding and had excellent communication. We had all of the alcohol that we had asked for and more. Our venue was out of town on a private farm and they came extra prepared! Drinks were ice cold and service was impeccable. I would absolutely recommend them to serve at any event! 10/10!“

“My friend and I were greeted as soon as we walked in the door by the bartender Matt. We sat at the bar as we are from Canada and wanted to get a feel for the place. Let me just say, he is an exceptional bartender. He was chatting with everyone and staying on top of everyone's drink orders. The Tavern was filled with great energy, great people and great staff. Not only that, but they had karaoke, and it was lots of fun listening to everyone sing their hearts out. 10/10 will recommend to anyone and we will definitely be back soon!“

“Celebrated a dear friend’s birthday there last night and yet again had a top notch experience. The drinks were delicious and the food was amazing! Our server, Isaac was outstanding! He was prompt, engaging, and has an amazing personality and sense of humor! Job well done Paddle Trap! You continue to consistently impress! 👏“

“A nice rooftop bar in downtown Bismarck. Great selection of signature cocktails and spaces to sit and converse and relax. On the night we were there, some of the clientele were a bit rowdy but overall it was a good experience. Recommend checking out at least once or twice.“

“Any bar can serve me a beer, so let's talk about what makes the OP stand out. My favorite thing about the OP is that they have a stage and support live local music. There are frequently live shows to attend, that's the main thing that gets me in the door. There are 2 pool tables, a few dart boards, a pinball machine, pull tabs, a touchtunes jukebox, and a small stage with lighting. There are enough choices of alcohol, the bartenders have always been prompt and friendly, and even on a night like St Patrick's day the place is busy but not dirty; it feels well maintained. It's a little ways off from main street but that just means parking won't be difficult to find. The place wraps around and is bigger than it appears when you walk in the door. As I write this, two grown men are two stepping to heavy metal on the concert floor and it's hilarious; I'm having fun. 10/10 would skip the giant crowd at Blarney's and spend St. Patty's day here.“

“Great band for dancing. Friendly and professional staff.“

“Awesome downtown bar/restaurant that is kid friendly. We love bringing our kids down for Saturday morning brunch!“

“They got pool and 2-for-1 on drinks some days im not sure exactly which. But its a nice surprise when you go in and not know and you get 2 drinks for the price of one. They got slots and tables for gambling. Plenty of TVs for sports games and such.“

“Great atmosphere if you're looking for a neat little upscale pub style setting. They have a full bar and a bartender and some pretty decent burgers. Loved the hand cut fries. Yes it's slightly expensive at 14 to 15 for a burger but it's an upper scale pub atmosphere in there. Neat little place with decent food. If you haven't tried it, it's worth s shot.“

“Amazing experience at 510.2 Speakeasy! Kenzie was an incredible server, friendly, attentive, and full of great surprises. We asked for six surprise drinks and Piper, John and Kenzie absolutely nailed it. Don’t forget about Q, he’s the man!“

“There was one server doing all the work and she did very well. We had a party of 4 and she got our orders right. She was also handeling other customers. It was a good lunch. Our tabels were clean and the food was good. It was not over priced. She was doing all the work. I will go back for lunch there. A very clean bar.“

“Nice little bar, stopped in on a Saturday for lunch and had the pretzel bites and french fries, food was good and hit the spot.

May be an odd thing to mention but as a sign guy of 20 years, I did appreciate their neon logo behind the frosted and textured plex/polycarbonate in center of bar.“

“Outstanding service from start to finish—friendly, attentive, and professional. The Southport Burger was absolutely delicious: juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Great atmosphere and top-notch hospitality even with a busy lunch crowd!“

“Stopped here on the way home from our road trip. The food was Fantastic! Had the Polar bear pizza and Meatball stroganoff with a house salad. Loved the vibe and decor, just a great find in a little strip mall! Delicious!! Hope to get back some day!“

“A friend and I attended the All-you-can-eat Korean BBQ today and it was fabulous. We have been waiting for a long time to try an authentic Korean meal so we drove 3 hours to get to Bismarck. The meal didn’t disappoint! Everything was so flavorful and fresh and grilling the meat was fun. We also enjoyed a lovely conversation with the owner and his wife as we talked about all the things we adore about Korea. Wish we lived closer so we could come more often! Thank you for such a wonderful experience. 🫰🏻“
