“Great ambience, the music is not too loud so you can hold a conversation. The most amazing thing about this place is the creative drink menu and drink specials. This is a venue you'd expect to find in a much larger city and is a very pleasant surprise to find in New Ulm. The bartenders are personable and engaging. A must stop for the drink aficionado!“
“Visited for a painting class offered by employer. Did not have a meal or drink so cannot rate that experience. However, enjoyed the atmosphere! Great patio on backside! Small gift shop upon entrance. Items crafted by local artisans. Nice location. Historic building with lots of character!“
“The bar itself is great, but the bartender is wretched. She has an attitude and in the hour we were there, she served the table the owner was sitting at 3 times before coming over to ask if we needed another round and we were only 1 of 3 tables that had customers at it, so it wasn't as if it was busy, the bartender just has a bad attitude. I've frequented that bar several times, but think I will switch it up if she's working anymore. This particular bartender has had an attitude with me and was actually yelling at me once when I brought friends in there because I wanted my friend to be my bartender and not her, but im a forgiving person so I thought I would try it again. I like that it's quiet in this bar, so I keep coming back. But not if she's still there.“
“This place is awesome! The staff is always SO friendly even when they are extremally busy. They always great you with a smile and the owner is the best when he comes over to tell you his joke of the day! Very fun bar and the food is always yummy! Look forward to Beef Commercial Fridays! Thanks guys for always being so welcoming!“
“One of the best neighborhood bars on earth, Schell's Firebrick on tap! This place is old school Minnesota at it's finest. No gastropub, no credit cards, no burgers, no patio, just a bar in a neighborhood across the street from a church. Karaoke on Saturday. Cash only.“
“Searles is a sweet little hamburg, er I mean hamlet, just 6 miles south of New Ulm on MN State Highway 15. My son had a baseball tournament game at the ballpark in town. Nice park with great concessions and cool seating! After they won their game our team of hungry ballplayers and assorted family members descended on this quaint bar and grill nearby to support the local businesses. The bar and grill had lots of space! They had a typical bar area when you first walked in. Then further back they had two good sized additional rooms for private parties. We took up the smaller space with the ladies retreating back to the bar area for lunch. I was impressed with their variety on their drink menu. So much to choose from! Most of the Moms enjoyed Bloody Mary's and a few other pink drinks. The Dads mostly had beers. The players enjoyed some local 1919 root beer from Schell's brewery. A few of us chose ice water and fountain sodas to drink which was served well water. So the young teens from the Twin Cities were not enjoying the flavor much! So just be forewarned that this is an unincorporated community and stick to bottled drinks if you can't appreciate that extra flavor! We overwhelmed them with a huge group and our waitress did amazing taking care of us! Looking back we should have ordered all of the player's food first and then the parents, but it was probably easier separate ticket-wise. Thankfully we had time before our next game. And was it worth it? Most definitely! I had the best mushroom Swiss burger I've ever tasted with the freshest bun! The crinkle cut fries and ranch dressing we're perfect! Crispy crinkles on the outside with soft potato goodness on the inside. My ballplayer had the club, which he had to smoosh down to fit in his mouth! The others around us enjoyed their fried fish sandwich with onion rings, bacon burgers, and everything else in between! The food here was excellent quality with great flavor! By the looks of their menu they had fun events and happenings going on too. Plus attached to the back rooms we were in they had a spacious covered patio and good sized uncovered patio. For a delicious diner style burger or sandwich this is the small town spot to stop at! If you're even luckier hopefully you can catch a ball game down at the other end of Main Street! It's like you were transported back in time.“
“This is by far my childhood favorite pizza place! It has some of the best broasted chicken in the entire state of Minnesota!!! Yes I may be a little bit biased because I grew up with it. In all the cities I have ever eaten at, I always compare them to Swanys!!!“
