Located on the great river road with a good view of the river from both inside or patio. Atmosphere is both sports bar and pub. We had the lunch menu which was mainly sandwich, salad or pizza. The Haddock sandwich and sweet potato fries was plenty. Tasted ok but nothing special. Price was reasonable about what we expected. Waitress was friendly efficient and courteous. Free WiFi worked well. Plenty of free parking available.

This is our favorite drinking establishment in Grafton. It has an extensive craft beer selection and the food has been consistently good. The back deck has some shade and the outside lower level can accommodate larger groups. It has been dog-friendly in the past but I didn't see any this time.

We dined here with friends while staying in Grafton. Three of us ordered the crappie sandwich and I had the two topping pizza (sausage and pepperoni). We all liked our food. The prices were very reasonable. We ate on the second floor which might be a problem for those with mobility issues. There is memorabilia all over the walls (and ceilings) that is interesting to look at. The food came out fairly fast. We would eat here again.

Excellent views of the water and definitely a great hang out spot. Drinks seemed to be reasonably priced. They offer outdoor patio seating. Very creative place but more of a bar than a restaurant. They do offer food but the menu features basic items and has limited options. This place is worth visiting due to the atmosphere alone. Definitely would recommend this place for adult birthday get togethers or a night out with friends.

Beautiful winery at the top of a hill with spectacular views of the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers. Great staff that are knowledgeable and friendly. We stopped in while camping down the road at Pere Marquette State Park. The day (Thursday) was rainy so we decided to enjoy the winery with a few bottles of wine and appetizers. We loved it so much we returned on Saturday morning for breakfast. So glad we did, not only was the food delicious and service awesome during breakfast a rare sighting of a bald eagle. Please stop by if your in the area you wonât be disappointed..we werenât and will be back if ever in the area again. Thank you so much for the kind review. We appreciate you taking the time to write it! Hearing that people are enjoying both the view and winery are always amazing to hear. Come back soon!

First time I have got to this place and was quite impressed. Very good and affordable wines. The beer left a little more to be desired. I got a flight to try a variety. I consider myself a craft beer connoisseur and these need a little tweak. I focused on the darker side of the beers. I did highly enjoy the colaweisen. That is a creative creation. The pub pretzels were delicious, but the beer cheese needs a little more flavor. Overall I enjoyed it and look forward to returning.Thank you for visiting the Winery! We are so glad you had a good time and we appreciate the feedback. We are always looking to improve our product and to enhance our customers experience! We hope you will visit us again soon!
