Posted on Heather Mapledoram2025-10-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been to Bear’s Lair dozens of times but, as someone with celiac disease and a dairy allergy, I’ve often left sick and eventually stopped eating here. I usually go to places like Taphouse that try to accommodate, but even there I’ve gotten sick lately. I stopped in for drinks and thought I might risk a snack. I told Ryan, the bartender, about my allergies, and he went out of his way to make sure I was safe. He spoke to the kitchen to have them use clean gloves and personally poured my drink by hand to avoid cross-contamination. I didn’t get sick — a huge win for me! On top of that, Ryan gave attentive, thoughtful service even though he was clearly busy. He kept an eye on our table, refilled drinks when needed, and made sure we felt taken care of without ever seeming rushed. I still know I can’t order a full meal here as a celiac, but Ryan made sure I could snack and enjoy drinks safely. As long as Ryan’s here, I’ll keep coming back. Don’t lose him, Bear’s Lair — he’s a gem!Posted on chris schott2025-09-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Nice and cozy!Posted on Maura Brositz2025-07-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family was vacationing and we were recommended this place by a local. It was late at night due to our travel and the waiter was kind enough to still serve us a little past closing time. The food was fantastic and the prices were very reasonable. Would highly recommend.
Great Pizza, Burgers, Pasta, Sandwiches & Salads
“Wow, a great experience! The food was super, and the service was great. My wife and I went and saw some friends there, so we sat together. Great atmosphere, comfortable. I had an omnivore and my wife had the BLT cluster. We met the new owner, Justin. Can’t wait to come back. Many thanks! 10 stars would be more fitting.” – Rick Paris, Google Review
