The Northwestern Hotel bar and restaurant is one of the best kept secrets in Rhinelander, WI! It is like walking back in time when you open the front door. They still serve the best sandwiches and homemade soups in town, and the prices are very reasonable.It is definitely worth the visit.

Was so much better when Mr Sharka owned it. Needs updating. Only 2 windows in front, so very dark and dank during the day if they are open.Parking: Off street or across the street behind the stores on main road.Kid-friendliness: Adult tavern and sandwich menu, hot or cold.

Used to love ordering the fish sandwich from this place. They definitely have changed them. For the worse. Would NOT recommend. Sandwich came on super thick hamburger bun. So much cheese and lettuce and like the tiniest piece of fish that tasted so spoiled I threw the whole thing away. Super disappointed and

Always a great sandwich along with great atmosphere. The Northwestern is a cozy little throw back restaurant at the edge of downtown Rhinelander. Reasonable on prices and generous with portions. Clean little hole in the wall place. Awesome staff never leave you waiting long for your order.Parking: Parking is free street parking with a small parking area in the rear.Kid-friendliness: They have a large-ish dining area suitable for all ages.Wheelchair accessibility: Both front and rear entrances are wheelchair accessible.

Northwestern is an authentic throwback in time when you walk through the doors. They have the best bloody in town. The French Onion Soup is good, sandwiches are hearty and prepared in front of you. Great little local spot.

One of my favorite places in the Northwoods! Low key, old-fashioned diner with great sandwiches and such friendly service! Sandy is always incredibly friendly and makes the best old fashioned I've ever had. Don't miss this place!

Great food and prices. Very friendly staff.

Never disappointed. No matter what I order the food is always amazing. Best Reuben in town, best hot Hemlock in town, best Bloody Mary in town, and best French onion soup in town. Staff is attentive and the owners are nice, hardworking individuals.

My two daughters, granddaughter, son, and I were looking for a local caffe to have lunch. We couldn't have picked a better spot! We each had sandwiches, one had a cocktail. None of us had ever been in prior to today. The food, service, & cleanliness was excellent especially for a old fashioned, main street type caffe/bar! I can't believe there hasn't been a review since 2019.
