A do not miss Venue location! Best Owner, In house Service, and Food selections!

The service, staff, and owner are second to None! We were married at The Bear and Bison in 2014, an unforgettable weekend! Great food, drinks, and gold star service. We were so happy we decided to celebrate our 10th anniversary here again. No change in 2024 with the service and small special touches. We will never forget the times we spent here and will continue to support a very special venue. All our friends and family can not say enough good things about their experiences here, they were blown away by the food and special attention the staff gives. I would highly recommend a visit to see for yourself!
