While some standout dishes, like the hot honey chicken sandwich and walleye tacos, received praise, inconsistent service and meal mix-ups tarnished the experience for others.

Dinner on a Friday night around 8pm was initally busier but almost empty by the time we left at 930. We had 2 of the special Halloween drinks (The monster smash and Draculas blood). The drink were pretty good, a bit to sweet for one of us. We alsosplit the special Elode flatbread, (pretty good) and the Cuban wrap with truffle fries. The cuban wrap was delicious! Thetruffle fries were crispy but not nearly enough truffle or parmesan. Overall a great place for dinner and drinks. I wouldrecommend for sure!
My husband and I went here for the first time, and I would like to start by saying if you are looking for a younger and in style type of bar this may be the place for you. It is cozy, comfortable, and the staff was EXTREMELY polite. We ordered a couple ofburgers with fries, the burgers are pretty good, but the fries are what really sold the meal!! Our waitress was really good shewas constantly making sure our glasses stayed full and the meal was good. If you're looking for good service and a really niceatmosphere I'd suggest Bar 209.
Awesome local restaurant. Over two meals, my son and I had two great experiences. We tried two of the mac and cheese dishes and a burger. I had a local Bemidji Being Red X ale that I totally enjoyed. The service was very friendly and attentive.
209 is a great gem in Bemidji. The staff is wonderful to accommodate everyone at our table. I had the hot honey chicken sandwich. It was more sweet with honey then hot. I would request jalapeno on sandwich for a kick.
We’ve dined here a few times and overall it's a nice spot. I feel like the food sometimes tries a bit too hard, but it's still pretty good, and the service and location are fantastic (the patio is lovely). Regarding dietary restrictions, the staff was very accommodating in helping to identify options for my child who has egg allergies. The manager even came out to confirm everything, which we really appreciated!
