The Craftsman American Tavern

First time there for our 10th wedding anniversary! We live a half a hour away and will defiantly be back! Great food and service!

The Craftsman American Tavern is a staple dining and drinking experience for out-of-area visitors and locals alike. A creative blend of rustic Northwoods themes and modern elements welcomes you into a uniquely trendy and upbeat atmosphere. Once you have marveled past the physical beauty and have found yourself seated either inside, outdoors on their patio, or at their stunning bar, you will enjoy an astounding selection of craft beers from local breweries and an specialty cocktails that excite. Don't forget their fun and hip selection of appetizers, entrees, and dessert options made from whole, local, and organic ingredients. And whether you are waiting to be seated or for your order to arrive, they have many classic and family-friendly games to enjoy with those close to you for a truly interactive and bonding experience. The Craftsman is a unique and fulfilling experience that you won't forget.

We had lunch at the Craftsman today. I was not happy with my choice. I ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. The brioche bun was burned around the edge and the chicken was over cooked and dry. No hot sauce on it, just not good So disappointing. I paid $90 for lunch, not good.

Great upscale vibe. Drinks are more costly than most bars in eagle river but that is to be expected as this is a bit higher level than most dive bars. Drinks were great. Great atmosphere. Bar tender was great.

In town from Texas and this place rocks. Great food, drinks were amazing (a little too much ice) but they were very well “crafted”! Waitress was very good and attentive. 5 stars all the way! Played shuffleboard after dinner. Shrimp, Santa Fe chicken salad and flatbread pizza were a 10 out of 10!! You can’t miss by going to this place.

No matter what time of year we stop in, we receive exceptional service and the food is always great! We usually are in town for hockey tournaments and pop in with a large group. We've never been turned away and even with a packed restaurant, they are always willing to accommodate us without complaints. Highly recommend their craft cocktails too. My favorite is the Wild Blue Mule. Yum!!

I dont get it?!?! Why doesnt ANYONE note the cleanliness of the mens bathroom....on late Saturday afternoon, on the opening day of Wi rifle season? Clean bathrooms...even had breathe mints, bodyspray and tooth picks in there!! Table Tennis, pool table, both in GOOD SHAPE AND TAKEN CARE OF!! Owners thank you for having these on a cold day! To the "Two little helpers" on Saturday I hope you had fun spending your tip money! You earned it! Attentive bartender, severs interacting with the people dining and enjoying the place. We had a great time again. This establishment's team nails it.... daily... and it shows.

Very well put together restaurant. The atmosphere was great especially with the christmas decorations and such. Our food came out in a very timely manner and tasted amazing! I also like the games (shuffle board, pool) it seems like they would be fun on a cold winter day. The bathrooms were extremely accommodating and were very aesthetically pleasing. Next time we’re back in town we’ll be sure to stop back!

Great service, great food, great drinks, no complaints!
