Here’s the view from our deck last Friday morning.  Things look less wintry now, but that photo predicts our not-too-distant future.

We’re in the Fall shoulder season, and like a lot of Northwoods businesses we’re closed for a few weeks to rest and to prep for the winter sports season.  That will bring a slightly different crowd…more casual and at times a little more rowdy.  I’ve been thinking of some new cocktails (maybe a Tarragon Gimlet with fresh lime)  and I can’t wait for you guys to try them out.

I’ve just been browsing the web for customer reviews of the Bear Trap, and it sure made me feel proud to be part of it.  Most everyone raves about our steaks (especially Garlic Stuffed Tenderloin), about our friendly service, about our quality cocktails, and about the comforting character of our bar and dining room.  To be referred to as “…the best example of a fine Northwoods Supper Club” is about as good as it gets.

Thanks for supporting us.

Your favorite bartender,

-Dan

Participants in this year’s Halloween festivities included Star Fleet Officer Stacey Rae, Bartender Kaitlin (on her night off) with associates Lindsey and Jane, and Bartender Captain Doreen.

Of note is that Doreen’s costume last year portrayed her as a pregnant wench.  By her choice of costume this year I guess we know who the father was.
