“The Mink Farm is a solid local watering hole that does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It’s a comfortable, no-frills place to grab a drink, catch up with people you know, and relax for a while. The atmosphere is laid back, the bartenders are friendly and attentive, and it feels like a spot where regulars and newcomers alike are welcome.
It’s not trying to be trendy or over the top, which is part of the appeal. You can stop in after work, on a weekend night, or just when you want a quiet place to unwind. On some nights there’s live music or events, but even then it keeps a casual, neighborhood-bar feel rather than turning into a chaotic scene.
If you’re looking for a straightforward bar with good service, familiar faces, and a genuine local vibe, The Mink Farm fits the bill. It’s the kind of place that becomes part of the community simply by being consistent and comfortable“

“Love that place!!! Great bloodys“

“Friday night paddle drawing is a blast. I believe it starts at 5pm. Decent fish fry for $10.50 on Fridays. We ate at Rockdale bar and grill twice while in town. Typical bar food, but the owner and staff are above average. Thanks for making us feel welcomed.“

“NICOLE!!!!! She’s so adorable and so sweet. She was soooo busy on this Saturday night and absolutely killed it. She kept everyone’s drinks full yet still socialized with her customers which we all love!!! She has such a good balance with bartending she was absolutely made for a social job. We love tappers!“

“What a great restaurant! Saul was so efficient and attentive as a waiter. He took care of our table of 12 with ease. He was so kind and responsive to our requests. The food was awesome and we all had a great time. Nicolas, what a nice venue. Thank you!“

“Ate here for the first time based on a recommendation. First off, this is the coolest bar/restaurant I’ve ever seen. Up North vibes. The owner met us in the bar to make sure that we were being taken care of. Very classy. We were initially sat in the main dining room, but requested a table with a view along the river. They were happy to accommodate our request. Our waitress was the daughter of the owner. She was amazing. Extremely personable and attentive. We started out with pork bellies. Delicious. I got the Walleye fish fry. Great batter that stayed crunchy. The bread they brought to the table and the tartar sauce was incredible. In my opinion tartar sauce can make or break the meal. The tartar sauce was hands down the best I’ve ever had. I’m a tough critic when it comes to dining. I can’t wait to return.“

“If you find yourself in town or nearby, this is the place to go be when you’re hungry, thirsty for tasty drinks and ice cold beer. Great punch bag game to blow off some steam!

Kid-friendliness: Shirley temples and kitty cocktails!“
