“I didn't eat, but met some friends here! Bar was very clean and gives the small town bar feel. There was not a lott of clutter, which was nice! Staff was friendly! Outside isn't much to look at, but when you walk in, its like walking into an updated, old-school bar! Very neat environment! They also have a nice outside patio area, which is private! I Will check them out again! 5 Stars.“

Shep's On 6th Bar • $
315 S 6th St, Brainerd

“I really feel that this could be a five-star place. Their outdoor seating was nice. Bugs were a little bad but that can't be me. Blamed on the business. However, this was a cash only place.Now I do understand but they have an ATM on site. However, for those that only carry a credit card to take out $40 cash will cost $30 in fees.I have no issues with companies charging me to use my card if that is the method I choose to pay.Otherwise the drinks were cold and good. And the server coming around for a drink orders was friendly.For those looking for food. They have only pizza.Vegetarian options: They did not have foodParking: We had to park in the back of the building. Was limited spots.Wheelchair accessibility: In the back patio there is a giant gate to get in so very accessible.“

“Love the food! Mozzarella sticks especially.They make their own buger buns! Different pizza options for when the kitchen is closed. They make great drinks and have very friendly staff. They participate in a lot of community events and sometimes have outdoor events. They are located right by the Pine Center ATV trails and CC trails. Great place to rest when out four wheeling or snowmobiling. The staff is always awesome! Great quick stop for soda and food in the area where there arent allot of stores, they even have eggs and milk even! Great pull tabs and electronic tabs, Bingo every Friday night too!“

“This is a true hidden gem in downtown Brainerd. Fun little bar with friendly service. The patrons are just as welcoming, and it's the type of place where you go and people recognize you after only a few visits. Sort of like "Cheers" from television years ago.“

“Honestly I have not had a better burger in the brainerd area. I try! My fav past time is a great drink and some great food. I feel like my opinion could possibly mean something because lived in Minneapolis for over 10 years and worked at a multi award nominated burger restaurant for like 8 years. I mean it’s cheaper and better than any burger restaurants in brainerd. I love the staff, I love the entertainment. always say this is my favorite bar in brainerd. Truly I used to have a couple burgers a year but def more often now lol the owners have also “touched tables” with me. Told me about a show for one of my fav bands.“

O'Neary's Irish Pub Bar • $
305 S 7th St, Brainerd

“The year was changing from 22 to 23. I sat upon this very bar, listening to a song about me. Rather fitting I thought, since I'm drunk and there not. I go out the back door to puff upon a smoke. Then when I returned inside, the people were all different, not one the same. This is no joke. Stricken by wonder, perhaps fear was emotion I was under. Yet, the song played through, and everyone knew, My Niece, I TELL YOU! was up to some tricks, for me I says boo. A high 5, clap of thunder. Then I knew.“

“Pet friendly patio was a huge plus which is in part why we chose this place. Ourt server was delightful and made great recommendations and brought us a little pup water bowl along with our waters. Food ordered: Onion rings Macaroni and cheese which is the good old kraft mac n cheese for kiddos. Rigatoni Jambalaya bowl Greek chicken salad with a lot of great vegetables. Green chick peas were tasty. Turkey melt Beet and grapefruit salad. Food selection was pretty decent, but prices were a bit steep. Service was excellent and the deck area was very charming and again, pet friendly which was a huge plus. Great place. Great service!“
