I had had one hell of a messed up weekend and was even hoping to bend the ear of an unsuspecting bartender. Jackpot!! Lone woman trolling the forest for an open bar finds bar, beer, sour cream and onion potato chips and a friendly bartender, who happened to be the owner. And his name is Bob. I sipped away and he listened to my tale of my tiny dog being mauled by a neighbor's dog.. I told you this was messed up. I felt so much better afterwards and met some other really nice people. The bar is spotless, well stocked and they have an enclosed, but outdoor area with live music. Head to Mountain, good people! Give Bob your money for cold beer and tell him Virginia said hello!

Amazing customer service, food and drinks! Came by on a trip to a friend's lake house, and stopped…read morein for a quick bite and drink. We had Pam as our server, and never have I met a happier, more eager to please server. Despite being short staffed and having an 18 top, she was eager to make their custom Bloody Marys. After receiving them, we realized there was a meat stick, and one in our party was a vegetarian, so without asking, she happily made another veg Bloody Mary on the house. The table next to us ordered a lot of food with several substitutions, and she said the kitchen can accommodate any and all special requests. Can't do any better than this place if you're in the area, and if you stop in, request Pam specifically and you won't be disappointed!

Bear Paw has a lot to offer, including: kayaking, lodging, gear and incredible food. It's in a stunning location, very near the Wolf River. We had a " pub style, plank pizza". It was loaded with fresh vegetables and meat with a medium thickness crust. A crunchy, yet tender crust, at that. I can't wait to go back. Eric, one of the owners and operations manager, was cook, bartender, server and entertainer. He does it all with a smile and makes you feel right at home. I highly recommend you try this place. It's on a stretch of Hwy 55 that winds and dips and while it is fun to drive, is a puke factor "8" out of 10 when I'm driving with my cat. Yeah, I drive with my cat.

All we heard from our local family was that we needed to go. So the day we were leaving we made sure to hit up the place as we left town. Bartender was an interesting character.

I will say this, he made a bang on spicy bloody Mary and it is by far one of the best I have had in years! We definitely will go back when we come back to visit our family.
