About Lakeside Tavern
A neighborhood tavern with a deep bench of pub classics — burgers, wings, fish fry Fridays, and a full bar. Walking distance from the lake; the kind of place where regulars sit at the same stool every Tuesday.

The bartenders know everyone — the bar is the social center, not the dining room.

Multiple TVs with NFL Sunday Ticket; the place to watch the Vikings.
