I have been coming to the HD for years, but the new owners are making this legendary stop even better. Whether you are in the area for winter or summer, you will not be disappointed once you experience the warmth of the owners and the atmosphere of this Northwoods gem. Looking forward to seeing what you guys have been up to and my first spring suds when you guys reopen at the end of the month.

A casual, no frills Irish themed pub in the great North woods. It works…read more Recently, six of us staying at a nearby cabin stopped in for a weekday lunch. An interior with an abundance of green and an assortment of items from the Emerald Isle might not prompt one to shout "Erin go Bragh!" But it does seem to be a heartfelt, agreeable homage to the old country. We found a space for six in the back and were promptly greeted by a cheerful server who took our drink orders leaving us to peruse the menu. I chose the Reuben (side of chips) and added a cup of mushroom soup. Others opted for the hot ham & cheese (x2), BLT (x2) and a bowl of chili. My sandwich on marble rye was excellent. A generous amount of lean, tender, flavorful corned beef with ample kraut and just the right amount of dressing. The homemade chips were a bit bland and half were limp and greasy. To be fair, those that were properly fried to which a dash of salt was added were quite good. The soup was outstanding. Chock-o-block with chewy, earthy mushrooms in a savory broth with a hint of Guinness. I wished I'd ordered a bowl. Everyone else was more than happy with their choices. Prices are much lower than one would pay for food of this quality and quantity in Minneapolis or Chicago. A very solid choice for dining in this neck of the woods.

We've been trying to visit all the tap rooms and micro-breweries in our region, (not easy because…read morethere always seems to be a new one opening up). This week we made it to Some Nerve. There is nothing fancy or trendy about this place. To me it seemed to be a hybrid "dive-bar-up-north-tavern" with all the requisite furnishings from vinyl upholstered bar stools to Green Bay Packers posters and other "up north kitsch." But -- we came for the beer. And the beer was not bad. I had a five beer flight, while my non-driving companion tried several more of the twelve selections on tap. The flavor profile of each selection was spot on. The wheat beer was wheaty, the stout was thick, dark and chewy, the Oktoberfest evoked visions of singing "Ein Prosit" in München. My other selections were satisfactory and my companion enjoyed his as well. With the proliferation of micro-breweries nationwide it's virtually impossible to visit all of them. And it's equally difficult to stand out from the crowd (and get four or five stars from me). But I can recommend stopping here for some beer and checking one more microbrew tap room off your list.

I wondered is this a Manitowish Waters thing I'd like not to believe that but not a good look for your town. A bar/restaurant further up the road gave us great service with a smile. So we got fed outside of town a bit. Bad look just go elsewhere
