If your ideal weekend includes racking up a game of pool, trying your hand a darts, grabbing a drink at the bar, and settling in to watch a game, you will be in heaven at the Olde Brick Inn in North Branch.

No matter the season, the Inn is a boozy haven for billiards, pull tabs, and conversation.
Follow Main Street to the haze of neon lights and make your way to the back parking lot.
The welcoming, easy-going little establishment is known for its friendly bartenders and should be as they play double duty as servers since the Inn doesn’t have any. It’s no sweat, just grab a chair in the corner next to the wall of license plates while you wait.
I made sure to try the homemade fries, cheese curds, and grilled cheese. So good! Do you have a favorite hometown bar?
