The Lumberjack Tavern is RIGHT across the street from The Outpost. This bar is featured in the movie, An Anatomy of a Murder. We love going here when we're at The Outpost, it's a great place to get a feel for the local vibe.
We recently tried their food, and LOVED their burger and hand cut fries. We're foodies and would give their burger and fries a 10/10...for bar food! :) ..they also have pizza with homemade dough and sauce!
