The Pines Restaurant and Beer Garden

They have a large yard-like patio that they utilize year round. There was a fire going outside with lots of seating, and they even sold s’more kits! There’s a stage that I’m sure hosts plenty of live music in the summer (and apparently occasionally in the winter too!). They also have a large tiki bar that they turned into a tiki ice bar by placing a large heated tent over the bar. We were stoked to learn that the tiki ice bar is dog-friendly, so we sat under a heater with the pups and enjoyed a boozy hot cocoa. This was such a fun way to be cozy outside in the winter! I can’t wait to see the tiki bar alive in the summer!

This is really a fun place. Outdoor beer garden, live music, and great food. Only problem was, I went there for German food and it was Thai night.

Stopped in yesterday afternoon on our way back to Woodruff from Bayfield. Loved the outdoor area - great vibe, great service, and great drinks! Always there for the weiner schnitzel... yum!

Great spot if you're staying or passing through Mercer! Tonight we lucked out with Thai night and got some fish tacos from the Tiki Bar. There was also amazing live music by the talented Carolyn Weber (Carolyn Jo Music). Had a drink from the bar and finished the evening with an ice cream cone. There were other options for eats as well - pizza and German to name a few. Very cute metal animals outside as well 😊 Great food, great atmosphere, nice owners. 10/10 would recommend!

Great place to hang out at Loon Day. Great band every year. Well organized for the amount of people they have to serve.
