“ Great little bar in the basement. Everyone was very friendly we brought our 3 year old with us on the way home from Milwaukee. The French fries were amazing. Nice place to stop for food and drinks. ”

“ Nice atmosphere, food was really good. we were passing through town wanted a non- chain, not high priced local place for lunch. So glad we stopped. Fresh made guacamole to order with warm fresh chips, so good. Hamburger and wings were also very good. ”

“ This place is really unique! It's a basement bar! If you go to the front entrance, you're transported back in time, to what feels like an old town neighborhood main street. It's filled with a few little niche shops, a tattoo parlor, etc. They all have old-fashioned, looking store fronts. You won't find Bernie's on the main street, but you'll hear the crowds bellowing from below. Follow the stairs downward, and you'll find yourself below ground wondering if you'll ever return to the world above! I'm kidding. They won't force you to stay, but you'll want to. It was my 3rd time here, I was hanging with a friend and needed some food in my belly. The bar is surprisingly big, and there's ample seating for those who want a table to sit at. Family-friendly atmosphere, as well. Amanda came over and told us about a new spicy chicken sandwich special. I forgot what she called it, but I know there was a name for it. A fresh, crispy, batter dipped chicken breast slathered in this delectable spicy sauce and topped with a hand-made coleslaw. It was the perfect amount of heat. The batter was crispy and delicious. Combine this with their delicious fries, and you have a meal that will keep your taste buds wanting more! Great crowd, reasonable drink prices, and good service. If you're looking for a new place or a new adventure to go on while visiting downtown Elkhorn, this should be one of your stops. Highly recommended. ”

“ One of the best burgers I can remember having! Tbh, I came here today expecting regular bar food. Let me tell you folks, this burger was incredible! I travel all across this nation. This burger was top 3, easily! Very cool bar. Great staff. Glad I stopped in. ”

“ Best burger I have had in a really long time. It was chill, friendly and not over crowded. We will absolutely be back!! ”

“ We love Bernies. I have not had anything off the menu I didn't like and good prices. Check out karaoke on Thursdays. ”

“ When we stopped in, we were greeted straight away and got our drinks fast. Food was very good and staff and patrons were very nice. This Diane I see mentioned in many negative reviews was not at the establishment when we were visiting for which I am very grateful for. I feel bad for the husband to be in the spot he is in and he seems to care very much about his business. ”

“ We were in the area for a softball tournament and were looking for some place local to grab food after the game for some of the girls and family. We had a large group but the staff was very friendly and accommodating and the food was excellent. It was also inexpensive which is nice when traveling weekends. We would definitely stop if in the area again. ”
