$30! Can't beat that! My husband and I had a nice meal with drinks and are taking home at least two meals for leftovers. If you like fried food and are willing to arrive between 3 and 6 PM, this is the place! Unfortunately, I can't speak to the real meals on the menu. The atmosphere is a typical bar. read more

Keg N' Cork - Smorgasbord for 1/2 price - Irish Pub Near Me - Bemidji, Minnesota

Had lunch at Keg N' Cork on a weekday. Our server ( young brunette) was on top of her game and definitely should get them tips!!! As I said I was there for lunch with my Mom, she raved about this place. She said we had to start off with the Beaver Droppings (I'm pretty sure that was the name) basically cream cheese puffs with jalapenos, really good but spicy!!! I had the blue burger with fries, it was good a little dry. Mom had the fish taco, she said it was super yummy and huge! She's glad she just got 1 and not 2, she opted for onion rings. Coffee was good as well. read more

See all

Amazing Happy Hour with 1/2 off beers and appetizers. We love the beaver nuggets, walleye, and sweet potatoes fries. The service was excellent and we love the outdoor dining with our fur baby. We will definitely recommend this place-Great ambiance. read more

A.hole women one and all working here! Save yourself the poor experience and drive back toward Nymore to The Green Mill! You will love the experience and food and the beautiful waitresses. Also, unlike the K&C, you will be a valued customer! read more

Just returned home from the Keg N Cork. I went down by myself or a few beers after work and was considering having something to eat. Most of my usual hangouts were packed but I pulled right up in front of the door and there was plenty of parking at 5:45 and hardly anybody inside other than some pool league people and a half dozen at the bar. I sat at a table and the waitress brought a beer and a menu but she never returned to my table. I went up to the bar for my drinks for the remainder of the time I was there. They weren't at all busy. She walked past me three or four times when she finally decided to wait on the other table that had already been there waiting for a while. No comment to me as she passed and no eye contact. Had she looked, she would have seen my beer was empty. But she didn't. I am a local and I have gone there a lot over the years and it used to be a good place. However, I have had a similar lack of service on a couple of other recent visits. I didn't think much of it at the time but It seems to be becoming a trend. The one waitress seemed preoccupied with the boyfriend at the bar and was either off duty at that point or just didn't care. The "bartender" was casually eating her food and was quite content to have me come to the bar for my drinks rather than actually waiting on me at my table. The owner of the establishment lost at least $30 - $40- on me tonight, the wait staff got no tip, and I came home and made a grilled cheese sandwich. A lose-lose-lose situation. I won't be going back again. Three strikes and you're out. The owner had better wise up and start paying attention to what's happening when he's not around or he may be looking for another gig soon. read more

The atmosphere was great. It's a fun place and the food's OK. The only negative thing is they don't serve desserts.

Best pub in Bemidji! Great atmosphere, menu, amazing apps, and great service. Highly reccomend!

This place had amazing service with lemons in the water and free popcorn. Friendly Staff but they messed up my order only giving me 1 patty instead of 2 it took them for ever to get my second patty so I ended up with a cold burger. Kind of ridiculous that you have to pay $2.00 extra for French fries, nobody likes chips. Btw add me on Soundcloud @DJWesternMestern stay fresh check this place out yo and stay with the flow don't get the deluxe burger like my boy joe see you all at the next yelp review show! read more

Keg N' Cork - This is my Burger - Irish Pub Near Me - Bemidji, Minnesota

Very friendly staff! One of the few places in down that is dog friendly. The Reuben was excellent. They have a limited menu right now because of a kitchen fire last month, but the great service and lovely patio made up for that! read more

Good food, nice food, great beer, delicious walleye sandwich. Would highly recommend it.

Walked inside around 7 pm and waited 10 mins without being acknowledged. There were about 5 other people in the entire place, the workers were too busy chatting. place looked trashy as well. read more

Best and first Irish pub on the Mississippi. They have great food. I highly reccomend their burgers and beaver droppings.

So disappointed! Having been a loyal customer for years, the place was sold and everything has gone way downhill. We ordered the cheddar cheese curds as an app and the "full order" was 19 small curds, it didn't even cover the bottom of the basket. The burgers were not as good, I don't know what they changed. The waitress we had was not good or particularly friendly. We were so bummed that we will not be back. Completely ruined it for us. read more

After giving my regards to Babe and Paul, it was time for dinner. A quick walk around the block led me to the Keg-N-Cork. It was still happy hour, but my sights were set on food, so I cracked the menu and got to looking. As I perused the various offerings (burgers, sandwiches, shrimp basket, etc.), I noticed the friendly crowd hanging out and enjoying the scene. College kids sat next to seniors, and everyone was friendly and having a good time. I also noticed that Guinness and Bass were on tap, all the better to wash down the free popcorn and peanuts (ask for the latter). Finally, I noticed that a mushroom swiss burger sounded good, so that's what I ordered. The burger arrived fast, hot and delicious. Billed as 1/3 pound, (I suspect it was a bit larger), the patty was obviously formed by hand, well seasoned and perfectly cooked. Also most pleasant was the fact that the mushrooms and swiss did not make the toothsome bun all mushy and sad, as often happens with lesser examples of the breed. I opted for fries (an upcharge applies), and got a plentiful portion of crinkle-kut goodness. I suspect the friendly atmosphere starts with the staff, who greeted all--even this out of towner--with a smile and a friendly word. The very fair prices probably don't hurt either. Hooray Keg-N-Cork! Yes Please!! read more

I asked Aaliyah what she thought of this place, "good" she said. When I asked her why, she said, "the food." I agree with my critical and honest great granddaughter. read more

Keg N' Cork - Aaliyah enjoying her lunch - Irish Pub Near Me - Bemidji, Minnesota

Pros: dart boards, good service, free peanuts, next to Paul Bunyan Playhouse Cons: limited booze selection, mediocre food, unappealingly high ratio of fratboy douchebags in white hats on weekend nights But, when in Rome... read more

I've been going to Keg & Cork every time I'm in town and was a regular there before I moved away. I would rate it as the second-best burger in town, behind the Corner Bar, but Keg & Cork is definitely the pick of the two for atmosphere, location, and service. Can never wait to stop by when I'm home for the holidays, see you next year. read more

I know the owner in a professional way, as I am a frequent customer. This place reminds me of the Irish pubs in New Zealand, as you can take your kids there for lunch. Nice atmosphere, and excellent soups with free unlimited popcorn. read more

Fish fillets on the fish and chip platter were wet, soggy and tasteless. When we asked the server for crispy fresh fish, she brought us more fish but it was the same style just fried two minutes longer in dark oil. Also, we did not get fresh fries when the new fish came. Burgers were good, but an up charge on Fries. Really? Everyone seemed to be friendly. read more

Went for lunch with the guys, horrible, the waitress couldn't get the orders right, never came back to refill our drinks, took forever for the food and when it got there, my burger was burnt beyond recognition, it was the western but no BBQ sauce on it, the fries were cooked so long they were just an empty shell of potato filled with fishy tasting grease. My buddy got the fish and chips and said it was also burnt, and tasteless. The other guy got the wrong food, he ordered a Louis, got a club, ordered Beer cheese soup, got Ham and bean. I won't be eating there again. read more

We really enjoyed our lunch at the Keg and Cork. My fish and waffle fries consisted of 3-4 pieces of fried cod which tasted good but was a little greasy. The waffle fries were very tasty; at $7 it was a good value. My wife's half pastrami and swiss was deli quality, with standard bagged potato chips and an unusual but tasty chicken/tortilla soup. At $6 it also was a good value. The service was friendly, polite, professional, and prompt. The manager even cam to our booth to chat which was a very nice touch. The pub itself is deserving of even a ranking of "classy." The decor was very Irish pubby, no blaring TVs, acoustics were some of the best in a long time so it was not too noisy. We were pleased! Too early for a beer, but $1.50 Miller lite pints is a great deal! We will go back. read more

This might be my favorite bar ever. I never had a bad experience throughout my college years here and this was the one place everyone liked the most. I can't comment on the food, however... read more

This place was terrible!! Only positive was our server - she kept smiling no matter how long it took to get our food. The food when it finally arrived was terrible. All 4 of us agreed we would never recommend or return to this restaurant. Stay away!!!! read more

Really enjoyed hanging out here! Service was outstanding!!! We got some appetizers and they were delicious and very well made/cooked.

"famous" Reuben was tough and difficult to bite through, plus the bread was burnt. Hungarian mushroom soup was really good. Service was slow even though there were only 5 people besides us in the place. read more

The food was shit. The famous ruben was terrible and oretty sure they microwaved my meat. Probably a cool place to drink but not to eat.

Excellent food and atmosphere! Great Irish pub to chill with a Guiness and/or eat a nice meal. Highly recommend!

Nice, cozy, clean, my husband and I take our kids down there for lunch quite a bit. Definitely a great asset to Downtown Bemidji. :) I really like the Mushroom and Swiss Burger, while my husband likes the Lou's Club. A great place to go eat, meet friends, and relax during the day. read more

I got severely sick on the chicken wings and The owner never showed any sympathy or an apology only that no one else complained accountability would have gone a long way regarding this severe matter of food poisoning read more

Food was good, staff was friendly. I would return if I found myself back in Bemidji. The portions are small but the price is right for what you get. Very flavorful Reubon sandwiches. read more

We were 3 couples that stopped to get a drink after a show next door. We never did see a wait person. Waited and waited. One server sort of stumbled by..but never stopped. So we bussed our own tables, and went up to the bar to order our own drinks. Drinks were actually mixed very well. Service was horrible!! read more

Service was slow, drinks were watered down, waitress forgot our appetizers until our main food was done then brought our cold appetizers, and there is a 7% charge on using a debit card. read more

Food was good but was unhappy had to pay extra to use my credit card. Have never heard of that before. Had I used a check my bill would not have been bigger. Go figure!!! read more

Me and my friend when into this place around 2pm yesterday walked up the bar and tried to order some beers. The person working took our ID and looked at them for at least a minute and asked us a bunch of random invasive questions and then went on to accuse me that my pupils are dilated and that he doesn't know if I had been smoking something funny after that he said he didn't feel comfortable serving us. Me and my friend are both respectable people of legal drinking age we didn't cause and trouble and all we wanted was one beer. The owner if the establishment harassed me and my buddy and wouldn't serve us a drink for no reason whatsoever. This place made me feel like I was a criminal and made me feel extremely unwelcome. read more
