We love the Bears Den. We always have great food, friendly service, and a fun atmosphere. It's your typical sports bar with pull tabs, TVs, darts, and free popcorn too. Drinks are great and we love the small town feel. read more

We hit happy hour at 2 which was a pleasant surprise! The spud balls were good, but we were looking for a little more flavor. Maybe some cheese?! The honey siracha, buffalo, and ranch were all good with the boneless wings. The grizzly burger was good and the fries were great! read more

All good,,,,its not a table top restaurant. Food and service are good...prices decent and the beer is cold.

First time to this establishment, ordered a pepperoni cream cheese pizza to go. Super friendly staff greeted me on arrival, and the service was quick. Pizza looked great and was still hot when I got back into NW Rochester. Overall, the flavor was just bland and tasted almost like a frozen pizza with a little thicker of a crust. Maybe the addition of some Italian herbs/seasonings would have made things taste a little better? Also it would have been nice for a little more cream cheese ratio throughout each slice. I would still be up for giving them another try sometime in the future with other menu items. read more

The Bears Den - Pepperoni cream cheese pizza - Sports Bars Near Me - Byron, Minnesota

So this bar, very nice, plenty of sitting, large screen TVs everywhere, and more importantly, this place can fry some food. The oil isn't old, the food is really crispy, and their burgers are also delicious, will definitely be back. read more

If you've ever been to a small town sports bar and grill then you've already been to The Bear's Den, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Typically they are a friendly environment with reasonable prices and consistent with good, but not great food. This is also the case here. They have several choices on the lunch menu for only $7. I ordered traditional wings and tater tots. The tots were perfect, with the proper amount of crunch. The six wings were large and the spicy mango coating was good, but the skin had no crunch and the meat was a little rubbery. The person I was there with had a half sandwich of turkey with cranberry mayo and mashed potatoes and gravy. The sandwich was thick and the only negative comment was that the gravy was too salty. Overall I was pleased. The service and prices were good and the food was fine. They have a good variety of tap beer, and a bear greets you outside the entrance. read more

Food is always top notch. Service is great, has a wonderful small town feel. Reasonably priced!

The Bers Den is one of my fav restaurant. They have the best chicken wings. I never tired to eat their chiken wings, especially the traditional Honey Siracha wings and buffalo Served with ranch(their ranch is the best ). I also like their reuben. read more

Descent bar with typical beer selection. Food and service were good. As someone who lives in Byron, it is a good local option.

It was all as expected. Very polite helpful staff. Food was good, good portions and I will go back there

Support small businesses! Great location, good food - I don't care for the atmosphere but it's tolerable. Service is good and the owner is nice! read more

4 stars for atmosphere here. We came during a Vikings game and the patrons and staff are awesome! I would come back for the environment alone! We got the wings, the texture of the wing was weird to me. Not crispy at all, a little rubbery. The wing flavor was alright but nothing special. I look forward to trying some other items they have. read more

The Bears Den - Sports Bars Near Me - Byron, Minnesota

Nice enough bar. Food is basic and bar food. No frills. Basically a dive bar for people who fancy themselves above dive bars read more

This has become our go to place during the Covid19 lockdown. Pizza is excellent... that crust! Bear Fries and boneless wings complete the order. Boom-Pow! read more

Owner is the biggest a**hole, came in one day and was completely rude. I was told it was cause he had to cover a shift, not really my problem. Except for it ended up being. Not my thing, but last time I used the mens restroom there, 2 adults were sharing the bathroom stall for over 10 min (I waited outside b4 I went in) read more

We ate there Saturday afternoon for lunch. Hubby had the club sandwich with french fries and I had the chicken tenders sandwich with fries. In my personal opinion the chicken tender sandwich was horrible. This sandwich had no taste / flavor and is terribly dry. The sandwich is served on Texas toast with 2 strips of bacon, 2 slices of cheese and 2 chicken strips. My husband's club sandwich was very good. That's the only reason I'm giving it 3 stars. It is a clean restaurant and seemed fairly busy for Saturday afternoon. Food prices are average for the area. I can not comment on prices of cocktail or beer. I would try The Bears Den again. read more

I highly recommend the Turkey Cranberry!! Every thing is so amazing, the people, the atmosphere, the food, the Football!! Love this place and highly recommend it!!!! read more

We have not eaten there in person before yet because of COVID, but we do take out often and they are very consistent and never late with their food. Their food is very good as well. Keeps us coming back. read more

I enjoy going to the bears den because the food is always good and the servers are always nice. I enjoy the south west wrap. In fact if they ever take it off their menu I would be really disappointed. I love their fries because they are thick which also means you don't need a ton of them. Their cheese curds are the best I've had. They have a good beer selection. read more

This place is great. Really enjoyed the fried mashed potato balls service was great

hanging out here before the big storm. Good burger and fries. Nice place to stop in Byron. Decent prices too. Family style menu. Good place to come to watch the games and have a few drinks also. read more

Food is bland and tasteless. The manager is very judgmental and will hesitate to serve you booze no matter you age. Don't order mixed drinks, they are watered down and contain little to no alcohol. Many other bars and restaurants nearby that are much more friemdly read more

The quality of the food and drinks are only surpassed by the quality of the owner and the service. I look forward to my next visit!

I am a local and have mixed views of this place. I never take issue with the food or atmosphere it is always the service that is hit or miss. Smoking cigarettes on the outside patio appears to be more important than making sure customers are happy. The poor service has become more prevalent as of late. read more

Decent small town pub with pretty good food. Pretty good free popcorn. Tasty wraps and burgers. Lots of TVs (bummer), but truth in advertising... it is a sports bar. read more

Went there again. I'd have to say this time the service was excellent, and the burger was very good.

Great service! Pizza was average, but met kids' needs. Nice draft beer selection for a smaller place.

Good food. Great service. I am a vegan and all I could order was their chicken salad without the chicken. It would be nice to see them put more choices on the menu. My family loved their food and said the burgers were great. read more

It was fairly busy so taking a little extra time to get our food was expected but it took almost 40 minutes and when I got my burger it was not hot and the bun was hard!! My husband waited 20 minutes for someone to come over after we got our food to pay so we could leave. Maybe get something besides a burger or chicken because those two simple things were apparently difficult read more

Great hometown bar, with very good food options. The staff is always friendly and takes extra steps, to get to know their customers. My wife and I regularly come here to relax and unwind. The menu is mainly American fare with a wide variety of other dishes. It's always a good option, when you just want to get out of the house. read more

Was disappointed in the Grizzley Burger. 1/2 pound burger (didn't seem like it), parmesan-crusted sourdough (sourdough yes...parmesan-crusted?) and topped with Pepper jack cheese, grilled onions, jalapenos and bacon (all seemed sparsely added). The burger was also overcooked. What was advertised sounded fantastic...what was delivered was mediocre. Felt like it was slapped together and pushed out of the kitchen. Service was good and the beer was cold. read more

Stopped here on a Saturday between kids baseball tourney games. Service was a little slow but they were not staffed for the number of customers that walked in. They did a good job providing service and treated our group well. Food was average. We had the boneless chicken wings BBQ and Teriyaki which were fine. Bring quarters as they have some machines the kids liked playing! Prices were reasonable and the kids meals were only $3 read more

Nice little bar in Byron. Enjoy the wings and beers on tap here. Great service. Nice people.

Service is great. The burgers were good. Plenty of TVs to watch the games. Just added top shelf tequila 1942 to their bar selections.

We come in here often in Byron. The service ranges very widely from super slow to super awesome. The food is bar food but is pretty good! Drinks are usually made well. Worth stopping in for the cozy small town atmosphere. read more

NO HYGIENE!!! One of the waitresses was coughing 20+ times in the dining room and kitchen while walking, carrying food, and at the salad prep etc. Not once covered her mouth. She basically was coughing onto the food when carrying it. Honestly I was so disgusted. If that wasn't off putting enough, we sat by the kitchen and saw the servers dropping off the dirty cups/dishes into the bus tubs;our personal server touched the straws and rims of the cups and forks etc and came right back out into the dining room as well as handled food thereafter both at the window and the salad prep. This is obviously not code. All of the servers were handling dirty dishes then food/salad prep/sides and other peoples beverages and food with out washing their hands. To top it all off I watched both our server and the coughing waitress, as well as the presumed manager handle the garbage/garbage bags/and cans then not wash their hands proceeding to handle food/beverages/sides. As the cherry on top there was a hair in our appetizer. Shit happens, yes its gross but whatever, I'm actually angry because our server didn't apologize for the experience or say anything what so ever. She just took the plate silently and brought it back to the kitchen. The presumed manager apologized and told us the food was on the house, this was of course the appropriate thing to do. Our server didn't check on us at ALL after that. She said goodbye and that was it!! Classy. We would of course had rather just had a non disgusting experience with basic common courtesy. Honestly if there was good customer service and basic hygiene that hair would not scare me off. Food was fine other than the hair. Not returning sadly. read more

The Bears Den-Located in the Town Of Byron( 8 miles from downtown Rochester) The Bears Den, the name says it all, a small eat in area with a large bar that has the small home town feel. Looking for a quick good burger or chicken sandwich this place is it. Although their menu is broad it might be just a little to much hometown feel where most Places try to have a romantic Setting The Bears Den Is All About What They Want. As I ate my Peanut Butter Burger (They use chunky not creamy) and enjoyed the Twins game I saw the backroom staff was young and unexperienced. I have to say that the atmosphere in the bar area is fun and ubeat although it is an older crowd. They do have a assortment Of Hdtv's to enjoy Your Favorite Sports Game and A Daily Drink Special Whcih Is Fairly priced. The food is always hot and has the home town cooked taste but the service is slow (why they did not recieve 5 stars), but if you are in the neighborhood stop by and try The Bears Den for yourself and make sure to YELP IT OUT LOUD! read more
