Poke The Bear

First time there. Atmosphere is nice, wait was a bit long. Food was good. Would go again.

Honestly good food and drinks, even for the price. Service has definitely fallen off, doesn't matter if you're seated at the bar or booth. Bartenders seem oblivious. Maybe we have just caught them on a bad day...like 4 or 5 times in a row.😁

Very pricey for a drink and sandwich. The sandwich was just ok, nothing special. The soup however was excellent.

Hotel bar at Hotel Northland. Food and drink options with a decent local drink selection on tap and bottle. Attentive bartender and clean bar. Reasonable prices. Worth stopping by.

Manager Was great. Helpful friendly and doing a great job.

Good food. Great drinks. The bartender Bobbie was very nice and helpful with food recommendations. I had the Reuben with onion rings to eat and the were prepared awesomely. I would definitely go back again. The raspberry ginn Rickey was also very tasty.

Great food, great service. We will definitely go back.

Good food great service. Walked through hotel and can't wait for it to open. Will be back.

Good food good service,good atmosphere freindly staff with smiles on their faces

Great location! Food was very delicious. Cheese curds were a bit over breaded but very tasty. Waitress Jini was very friendly and professional!

The service was lacking. The waitress was very nice it seemed like they are under staffed. The food made up for the service.

Was pretty good. Interesting that when we call for reservations during restaurant week they said they could squeeze us in about 2 pm. Got there and only two tables had people. Totally empty.

A fantastic footballcentric sports bar that serves as a clever cover for a fine dining experience. You get what you want out of Poke the Bear. If you just want a beer and a burger, they'll hook you up. If you want an elegant cocktail carefully muddled to refresh you while you enjoy fresh locally sourced food prepared by a chef with a worldly mind, that's here, too.

Sat down at the center of the bar, looking to grab an after dinner drink downtown on a Saturday night. We had dirty plates in front of us, which sat there for 20 minutes before we decided to get up and leave. Nobody even acknowledged our presence. Which was a bit odd. Multiple bartenders, multiple hosts, plenty of staff. And.... We were at the center of the bar! Kinda hard to miss. Will never consider going to this place again. This rest of the hotel was phenomenal. But this place, not so much. They definitely 'poked this bear'. Very ironic.

Got here and there was no hostess. Was told a 30 minute wait over the phone, and there were at least 7 or 8 tables open. The service is bad. Servers are nice, but everyone is running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Their tablet menus are also really confusing. Took me over 15 minutes to get my beer. Food is solid. Don’t know if it’s worth the hassle though.
