Bar with good food. The portion are huge so come hungry. Service could have been a little better. The busy bar tender was also the server so she would get behind. Overall good experience would definitely go back.

The food was absolutely amazing. The hamburger came out and was massive and the homemade fries hit the spot. The mac & cheese across the way on someone else’s plate amazing also that will be my next try here. I highly recommend the Black Bear Inn to everyone
