22 Best Bars near Niagara

“Places That Felt Like Home Some places in this world hold you not because of their walls, their menus, or their decor, but because of the way they welcome you. For me, two of those places were Just Brew It in Union Grove, Wisconsin, and the North Star Bar in Rochester, Minnesota. At Just Brew It, after only a couple of visits, the staff began greeting me by name every time I walked through the door. It reminded me of Norm from Cheers—that easy ritual of belonging where the world pauses to say, you matter here. The drinks were good, the people were kind, but it was that simple recognition, that moment of being known, that made the coffee shop feel like family. The North Star Bar carried the same magic in its own way. Whenever I walked in, they’d call out, “Georgia,” not just as a nickname but as a nod to where I came from. It was playful, affectionate, and grounding. No matter how far I was from home, I carried a piece of it in the way they saw me. Both places remind me that what makes a space sacred isn’t the bricks or beams—it’s the people who look at you, smile, and say, you belong.“

“Great place ! Stopped for lunch and was very good ! We'll be stopping again soon !“

“Three friends and I were visiting from southern Wisconsin... and we wanted to go bowling. We were staying in Iron Mountain. We originally had gone to the bowling alley there, however while waiting at the bar for a lane, the man running it was so offputting and rude we didn't want to stay. We asked him about Uptown and he said they were his #1 competition. So we said thanks, cancel our lane, we're heading over there.So glad we did.It's definitely a little run down, you may or may not get shoes that fit, or even a ball that fits, but the atmosphere and the employees were amazing. Food was good... although they do refer to beer dip as beer cheese ? Not good on the soft pretzels, but awesome on the burger!I'd definitely go back.“

“Best bar in town! The staff is top notch and the atmosphere is great! The staff and patrons of Mister Moms treat you like family. They have the best sausage boats, made with their very own BrewyLouie sausage and homemade sauce. Listening to the friendly banter during a game of Smear will certainly have you laughing. You might even learn a Louieism or two. If your looking for great drinks, awesome music and lots of laughs, Mister Moms is the place for you!“

“Pool, Hot-Tub & Sauna is the best in the Iron Mountain, Michigan area. Staff needs to have more professionalism with Pool Guests. Power was out Friday night from 6pm -10pm. Restaurant Staff was sent home due to the power outage. My family survived no back up lights in our Lodge Room for the 4 hours. Power came back on at 10pm, and our kids were hungry. Food purchased from Famers Restaurant is only allowed in the Pool Area. Which we have always been respectful to and ordered all of our food from them. We ordered Pizza Hut and assumed due to the Power Outage and the restaurant closing, we would be allowed to eat our pizza in the pool area. However was told due to their policy, we were not allowed to eat in the pool. Which did not make sense to me since they waived the policy to allow our kids to swim later than the 10pm deadline due to the power outage. This lady also stood guard over my daughter while she paid the driver for the pizza in the front lobby as if she was going to run into the Pool area with the Pizza!! That was very odd behavior!! Anyways the next day we are in the pool again, power stayed on all day (High Five)! A family brought in pizza from Little Caesar's (We were thinking - Oh boy here we go!!) They ate the pizza and about an hour later, an elderly lady who worked the front desk with a Service Dog (Sweet dog) came into the pool area. Pool area was very loud with kids screaming. Dog was very scared with his tail between his legs and he was directly behind her. While she asked a group of families in the Hot-Tub who had brought in the pizza, her dog was being swarmed by a little girl about 5 years old, wrapping her arms around his head and squeezing him. The front desk lady did not look back to check on him. I mentioned to the Front Desk Lady, that he looked very scared. She then walked to the door and stood watch over the family to remove their pizza and walk out of the pool. All the families were shocked and the family with the pizza looked very embarrassed. For the safety of the elderly (guessing disabled) front desk lady, her service dog, the children, and everyone in the pool area I am shocked that they handled this in the manner they did. It happened a second time, later that night when it was 9:55pm, she came in again and reminded all parents with children that 10:00 was approaching and all children had to leave the pool area. She stood in the pool area again for at least 5-10 minutes watching and waiting for all families with children to leave. To me this is Overkill!!! If it were my business, my guests, my pool and my staff, I would have asked the family to come to the front desk to discuss the policy, not embarrass them in front of everyone! The sign is posted on the door, but as we all know, not everyone reads signs!! But for the respect of your guests, this should be handled in a much more respectful manner!!!“
