Bar 209 217 Minnesota Avenue Northwest, Bemidji, MN 56601

"Upscale bar food. Good happy hour specials. Wait staff was very friendly. E-pull Tabs was interesting. PB&J burger was yummy and onion rings were perfection. Spice on fries was a bit heavy and husband really liked the chicken wrap. We like to support local places and we'll be back here the next time we are in Bemidji."

"Service was quick and attentive! I had the Smash Burger and my wife had the Cobb salad. My burger was ok but I thought the fries were amazing. The Cobb salad was over priced for what she received. Ordered a Dt. Dew and it was flat or something was off about it. Server was quick to replace, but it still was off somehow. She didn't charge us for it. Would stop here again."

"Upscale casual bar. Craft cocktails were outstanding. Not to be outdone by the food. She had a chicken sandwich with Mac and cheese. I had the Philly sandwich. Bread had a hard time holding in the meat, cheese and veggies. Lava cake dessert was outstanding. Had about a 5 minute wait on a Saturday at roughly 6:30. Great experience, and our server McKenzie was awesome! Wouldn't hesitate to go here."

"The food, service and atmosphere were incredible. I love that you can see the kitchen. Everything feels so clean and perfect here. The Thai lettuce wraps were to die for! Highly recommend."

"If you want mediocre food for exorbitant prices this is the place for you. I have never had issues with the service or the atmosphere. It’s a beautiful place but the food is just not quality for the cost. I have been burnt by this place so many times over and over I’m done. 10/10 bad food experiences causes me to write my first ever bad review. Don’t order a $17 chicken sandwich unless you’re ready for a chicken strip/boneless wing sandwich. 209 used to be the place to go for good deals and drinks. I can name a few Other places in bemidji where you pay less and get 10x the food quality. Bridget’s, Fozzies, Tera Thai, speak easy, keg and cork, wasabi, heck even Applebee's has better value for what you get and that’s saying something…."
