I wanted to go somewhere different for my 21st birthday. We have a cabin the next town over and we drive past this place a few times a year on vacations. We came with a large group, the owner was inviting and so were many of the individuals at the bar. We had a few beers couple orders of wings a few laughs and a great time! Thanks for a great memory Bear Trap I’ll be back!

Stopped by for a bite with the kids and wife, did not disappoint one bit! The clam chowder was fresh and amazing the fish fry was excellent as well. The kids had a great time dancing in the dining room and ate all of their chicken and fries. Big portions, fair price, perfectly cooked. We will be back!
If you're looking for that 'Cheers, where everyone knows your name' vibe, this is it! The food is tasty and the staff (Amy) is amazing! For the last two years, when my family and I Vacation we visited this location and we have fun, homely experiences here. You can stop by for a brew/cocktail and a meal and feel like you have always come here.
Great little bar for a home town feel. The food was quick, however by burger was cooked a bit more than I like. The cook never asked how we liked it cooked but it still tasted wonderful.
Had the steak sandwich with onion rings. Very good. Drinks were very good. The bartender was the cook and waitress. She kept up very well for having to do everything. We will be back!
Good old tavern food. They only take cash though.
