Bernards Tavern: Reviews & Ratings
Great staff. Awesome happy hour specials. And cold beer! We've never had a bad time! Love the appetizer options too!
Place is a great local gem... cool bar with great food... live keno and plenty of screens to watch... 10/10
Magic pasta is amazing and the smash burger didn't disappoint. Alex our server was super nice and attentive. Hope to visit again sometime.
Sarah and Jonis best bartenders in town. You will have the best night if you stop in here.
The food here is INCREDIBLE. We got cheese curds and taquitos and they were gone in five minutes. Delish!!!
This place is cool. Plenty of seating, plenty of TV's. Very spacious interior. Good selection of food and drinks. Drinks are also reasonably priced. We tried the buffalo chicken dip appetizer and it was delicious! The fried pita chips it came with were spectacular with the perfect amount of crunch. My only issue is we came to watch a game that was to be played on the Big Ten Network, and unfortunately they did not have the channel which was disappointing for a sports tavern.
Bernard's is a longtime favorite bar. It doesn't just have drinks. There's also some good somewhat healthy food. Many activities. Watch a game on TV or something. Had a hot date and I brought her here for fun and games. It wasn't busy and we sat at the bar and thought it was a good opportunity to try the food here. There wasn't much food ordered by me here in the past but it was a good chance to check it out. I got lucky. There was also luck at the bar because it turns out there was good specials on Wednesday. I got a Blackberry Mojito. It's about $8 and is deceptively strong. This is pretty refreshing too. Impossible Burgers were only $5 each. They might have made a mistake but it said it on the website so we got the cheapest ones that I know of. If you like watching games in less rowdy bars it's a good fit. Lots of TVs for lots of games. They're also one of the more vegan friendly bars too.
