Time is running out on the season, so I stopped and had a breakfast burger right at 10:30

Tavern in the Bay ✅

Pic posted September 12, 2023

Finally got to try the old Bay View for dinner tonight. The building is basically the same as before, but all the old cabins are gone and there are a million RV hookups everywhere now. They were out of cider, so I tried the Big Bay Breeze (vodka, pineapple juice and cranberry juice). The walleye wrap was solid, but the hand-cut fries needed more time in the fryer…

The new Bayview is supposedly open daily, but I didn’t get to confirm that today (bar opens before the kitchen – will try again later I guess)

Not sure how many live music events they have had here so far, but they could use some advice from the Cedar about set up and general event basics. The boys sounded amazing, as usual…

Look who I found in Hinckley

Grand Casino might have the last Black Orchid games in Minnesota. Played just a little bit – no progressives, but multiple free spin sessions (some with re-triggers). Very disappointed to see the giant new “Smoking Room” that made the whole place stink…
