    Sharpen Your Boot

    I've only been in a few times since Nordic went from a brewery to a brewpub. I asked a server about it one day and they said most customers don't realize they brew their own beer. Their cocktail list is impressive but don't skip on their beers either. Parking is easy in a big lot and the brewpub is comfortable seating where the staff is always friendly.

    We loved this place the minute we walked through the door. Something about the way it was decorated gave it this unique vibe. The bar, wallpaper and things hanging on the wall were interesting. Our waitress came over immediately and got our beer order. My husband had a Mr Pandy which is a smoke pineapple lager with a nice Smokey flavor. I had a Mango Woman which was a currant & mango sour. It was just a perfect amount of sour. We love a brewery with food and the food did not disappoint. We started with the buffalo cauliflower which was not deep fried. The Buffalo sauce was a good amount of spice. We decided to share the pork belly sliders and wild mushroom flat bread. The pork belly sliders were so good with a sweet bread and salty pork belly. The slaw was flavorful. The crust on the mushroom flatbread was nice and crispy. One of the cheeses had a smoky flavor. We went here on a Sunday afternoon after a hike. It was fairly quiet and I heard someone complain that the pinball machines weren't turned on. We loved it. Our service, the beer and food were all wonderful. We'll definitely come back if we are in the area.

    Super cool space with 12 different beers on tap at the time of visit. Had samples of the My Randy Plus (smoked pineapple porter), Addled Ale (cream ale), ol' pudgy frontbottom (English bitter), and the Thunder Bus(imperial oatmeal stout). Probably my favorite was a NE IPA called Treasure Coast. A super juicy beer with lots of fruits and only 40 IBU. Some I enjoyed, one not so much but you may. That Randy Plus was a surprise close second. The space is open and airy and the music pumping through the place was light and festive. There is also a huge side room for bands and what not. I also enjoy the artwork and every table and the bar counter was custom made and seriously, the space is really nice but speaking with the owner, he really put his heart in the place and the focus is obviously going to the beer. My little Cliff Claven fact for the space is that they are using some of the old fermenters that used to be in Jack Pine Brewing out of Baxter. Let's hope that good mojo rubs off for these guys too. Overall, I'd give it a 4.5, but since I can't, a 5 it is.

    Amazing local business! The owner is passionate and involved. The cocktails are unique and well thought out. I had the Dead Elvis and the Bloody Mary flight, my wife had the Dangerous Man Brewing Canna Blissed Tonic Pain Killer THC+CBD and we split a soft pretzel. I love the back lot outdoor patio. Just pull up, scan the menu with your phone and let the servers do the rest. We need to support establishments like this. Keep it up guys!

    When you walk in it has a really cool decor very retro. The staff was very friendly. And the cocktails were delicious. A few people got plates of beer. However, there were some people in our group that did not enjoy the beer selection. The food options are very random. However, everyone enjoyed what they ordered. They do have pinball machines in the back so it would be kid friendly.

    Beautiful interior and great food. Nordic's smash burgers are beyond delicious. This is one of the best spots in town! Highly recommend.

    Iron horse has been around for about 20 yrs.. They started great. Husband and wife owners cooked…read moreand ran the business. After divorce, only she ran it. Food was great, staff friendly, live bands, fun place. Stopped in tonight after a few year gap. It's looks a bit run down and dirty. The staff on duty was very friendly and helpful. Food came quickly and it was great! This was a "full" which is like a large pizza size. You can get a half order but it's only a dollar less. Get the full and take home another meal!! Sort of a local working man's bar, biker bar and sports bar mix but you can still bring the family. If you're in the area stop in. Affordable good food, affordable drinks that aren't skimped on. Only reason they didn't get 5 stars was due to cleanliness.

    Saw a post about their special on the local Facebook group, so my husband and I decided to try it…read moreout. I have not been to Cokato in the eight years that I have lived in Minnesota, so I was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant space is called upstairs, and the bar is downstairs. It was quiet and the ambiance was great. I did not catch her name, but the lady working there was incredible. She was the only one helping the customers, but she did it all with grace. Shout out to her! For the food, we got their special which was the flame grilled steak and grilled walleye. They were delicious. I did not expect the portion to be that big considering it was $23 for the two meals. We also got their Mac Bites appetizer. Those were good as well. I started following them on Facebook after this meal. I hope to catch more special deals here! Tip: It looks like the deals start at 5PM. If you are in a hurry, come as close to 5PM as possible. The upstairs fill fast!
