America's Best Fishing Bars


By John Taranto


After a long day on the water, few things are as welcome as a cold drink, whether you're drowning your sorrows over an empty stringer or hoisting a glass to a bountiful catch. Here's our roundup of the best bars near some of the country's top fishing waters, plus BONUS PHOTOS here.

Best Place to Get Gassed...Literally
Boathouse Bar, Waconia, Minn.
952-442-1132

While the Boathouse's minnow-eating contests and wax worm races went away with the bait shop after last year's renovation, the bar is still a popular stop for Twin Cities anglers. Situated on the shores of Lake Waconia, the Boathouse still operates a gas pump at the docks out back.

Plates of fried walleye and fries are chased by Miller Lites during Vikings games on fall Sundays. In fact, at press time, bar owner Chris Anderson was in talks with former Minnesota wide receiver Randy Moss about hosting a fishing tournament in June on Lake Waconia.
