For at least the past few years they have a gift set called "The 12 Beers of Christmas." The beers have funny festive names and funky festive flavours. This past year, 2023, some of the beers in this set were "Cuddly as a Cactus" (Green Apple Sour), "Figgin' Christmas Cake" (Christmas Cake Honey Brown) and "Not My Gumdrop Buttons!" (Gingerbread English Ale). Even though I'm not a beer drinker, I do like trying these unusual flavours and having a tiny sip. My comment is usually "too hoppy" or "tastes too much like beer!" Haha. My husband likes the fun flavours but has noted that some of the notes are on the artificial side, and likes their "regular" beers better. They sell their beers online and offer free local delivery (The Ottawa Valley) or you can also pick up at their location in Cobden for free. They deliver to the rest of Ontario for a shipping fee too. Their beers are also available at the LCBO. The 12 Beers of Christmas set is regularly $68 but if you pre-order, you get the pre-order sale price of $54.40, which is what my brother did. It means my husband received his gift a bit early, but I'm proud of my brother for scoring a deal ;) (12)

Service was prompt and friendly and the place was busy when I arrived shortly after noon on a Wednesday. As you enter the Wifi password is printed on a dry-board near an in-house ATM. Very handy when you're working and need to connect. They have a selection of good beers on tap plus good variety of bottled beers and Strongbow cider. They have daily specials and today was a Bandito wrap and fries. $16.95. Chicken wrap with peppers, onion and jalapeño peppers. I ordered that and a craft beer that was on tap, Farmer's Daughter from Whitewater Brewery (Cobden). Very tasty and lots of food. It also came with sour cream and salsa on the side and gravy was an option. The nicest part for me is the fries were hand cut and wonderfully hot. The server told me in passing the cook was just waiting on my fries. Honestly they were chip truck good and best of all they have malt vinegar (is there any other kind). I'll go back and highly recommend if you like good pub grub.

I have stopped at the Bears Den a few times over the last ten years while in town visiting friends…read more The food has never been terrific and there is still a lot of weak spots on this menu. This round was for breakfast and we were a group of 4 adults and 3 children. Where the place is not lacking is portion sizes for most of the dishes. The mix plate dishes (e.g. Eggs; pancakes; etc) were really large (too large to be honest). There is also combinations that do not make a lot of sense (e.g. You usually don't get pancakes AND toast). The problem with these dishes were execution. Eggs were fine, home fries were white and under cooked, toast was so thin buttering them broke the slice, and the pancakes were flavourless. My wife had a breakfast wrap which was hilariously small. It looked almost miniature novelty sized. Fortunately, everyone else's food was so over portioned that there was more than enough to pass on to her. The place apparently has been taken over by new owners. They are Indian and are launching an Indian menu in mid-September. That will hopefully be something they enjoy themselves and have some good family recipes to delivery to the locals. I wondered in the back where they have a bar & grill type place. It was nice looking and they had a couple of decent beers on tap. Might be a better evening spot.

Our server was quick to take our drink order and soon after brought them to the table. A maple old fashioned for the Mrs. and a Dog House IPA from Petawawa. Both were perfect to start our evening. We ordered our starters; a Caesar salad for myself and the Soup du Jour (a homemade tomato soup for the Mrs.) She really enjoyed the soup. It was hot and creamy and very flavourful. The Caesar was fine to me. I like a more punchy dressing, more garlic, anchovy. But I do know I am in the minority here, I like it to really rock you. And most people probably wouldn't enjoy that. So, you may really enjoy theirs. It had lots of bacon bits, great croutons and cheese. Our mains were Pork Roulade for the Mrs. and Branzino en Papillote for myself. Only issue with the Roulade for my wife was she could only finish half of the dish. It is a big serving. And the Branzino is a very filling dish as well. The Branzino was cooked perfectly and was buttery and light. Inside there is a soppressetta salami and thin sliced tomato and emmental cheese. I think the tomato was unripe, it was crunchy, and even though I absolutely love a soppressetta sandwich, I found it too overpowering for the fish. It does sing in there though. On the side is a very large serving of roasted vegetables. They were very tasty, and very hot. The first bite took me by surprise! And that was a very good thing. Caution, let them cool for a minute. The restaurant is a very nice place to have a great evening. And we will certainly be returning to try more of their great menu. And we are curious to see the upstairs next time. We had a great time, delicious meals and drinks and our wait staff was very friendly and did a wonderful job.

The portions are generous, and the food is tasty. Service this time around was much improved. Again the restaurant was about 1/2 full (a little more this time), but Service was much improved on this go around. Extra star given. First visit was 2 star visit, second a 4. Hence 3 stars over all. We ate here upon arrival of our stay at Calabogie Lodge Resort. The restaurant has about 1/2 full the entire time. Food was probably 3.5/5 stars, but the service was abysmal. Our drinks, our meal, our bill each took *forever* to arrive, and our server was nowhere to be seen for a large part of that time. We canceled our reservations for a meal hear later the same week.
