Dockside Pub & Grille

We stopped here for lunch the other day and were very pleased. I’m sure the views are great in the summer since it overlooks the lake. The atmosphere inside is really cute. I love that it had that country/​lake décor to it.
We ordered bloody’s and they were really good.
I had the Reuben and my husband had the steak sandwich. Both sandwiches were excellent. The hand cut friends were AMAZING and the steak on the sandwich was a literal chunk of steak… awesome.
The bartender was very friendly along with the owner who was in for a drink. We will most definitely be back soon!

I’ve visited here on a few occasions, as I have a cousin who lives nearby. Most recent visit was on 1÷18÷14, for dinner — party of 4.
One additional note: the place is located *much* closer to Randolph than it is to Beaver Dam. It’s approximately 2 miles east of Highway 73. The phone number indicates a Randolph exchange; not quite sure why the address is listed as Beaver Dam, when Beaver Dam is some 8-​miles from this place.
They modified the place a bit from my last visit; it used to be that you’d have to walk through the smoking area in order to get into the bar. That has changed — the smoking area now hangs off one end of the bar and features two doors for entry/​exit. UNFORTUNATELY, the place reeks of smoke inside… those doors stay open and/​or don’t seal very well, because when I left, I left smelling of smoke. So much so, that my car smelled like smoke the next day. UGH.

If this place wasn’t so smoky, I’d be back to visit more often, even if it is some 45-​miles from my home.
