Glen & I have been married business partners for almost 30 years. We met in a restaurant, got married and purchased the restaurant. This is currently our 6th restaurant. We have gotten to be pretty darn good at what we do! We also have a fantastic staff to help us grow our business. Our children also work at our side, as they have restaurant blood in their veins. We couldn’t do it without them.

If your looking for a Small, Quaint, Clean, Tavern, «Steak House»! This is a sure bet.
While it’s not Mannys, or any of the 4⁄5 star upscale Metro Steak houses it’s a solid Red Wing 4 star! The good news their prices reflect that! $ 12 – 24.00 is a good average!
The food is good, small relish tray, small cracker basket, a bread basket, usually need to have heated?!
The Entrée Salads, are top notch, Shrimp, Steak, Chicken, and a great Ahi Medium Rare Tuna! $ 11 – 13.00, and a great bargain, produce is crisp and fresh, proteins are well prepared, to your liking, Rare to Well done!
Best of all the have a nice Summer deck, for good Cocktails and Taps! Good happy hour prices 3 – 6 pm?
It’s the single best choice in town, on the old West End!

Food was decent and servers were really nice, but it’s not somewhere that we would recommend to a friend.

It was our first time dining in the area and we searched and searched for a decent place to get dinner. Found Bayside and sat at the bar, the food was wonderful and refreshingly not your average «bar food»; We had a burger and a buffalo chicken sandwich with salads and drinks. Dolly, our bartender, was delightful and made our night with her conversation. Thanks for the accommodations and great meal. We will definitely be back next time we are in Red Wing!

Ok in the summer when seated on the deck, but not worth the stop otherwise. Limited beer selection, no ambience, uninspired bartender who served me the wrong drink and the person next to me the wrong burger. In the future I will stick to the preferred neighboring bar.

We had lunch today, it was WONDERFUL! My husband had the sirloin, I had the mushroom and swiss burger. Get the skillet potatoes cooked with bacon, cheese and onions. Superb; both the food and service.

Based on what we read we did not make reservations. (It said they didn’t take reservations.) Word to the wise, if going on weekend or holiday make a reservation. They do make them. It was very busy, but they managed to fit us in within 25 minutes. We had the ribeyes with the bacon potato soup. Soup was very tasty and the ribeyes were very tender. Will definitely come back in the summer when we can see the river.

High quality from start to finish. Their steak salad with blue cheese is one of my favorites. Though it is a bar expect food that is far above bar food quality.

Best place in RW for lunch. Watch the hours though because they might be closed.
The chicken sandwiches are 100% divine.
Parking is an issue at times.

It was a nice casual sports bar with excellent steaks. I ordered the 10 oz ribeye and it was cooked perfectly. The steamed broccoli was fresh and the bread is from the local bakery. Good relaxing evening.

The bayside tap is hands down the best that Red Wing has to offer for a meal and that is saying a lot!!! I live in Red Wing and have tried every restaurant in town. There are many good to great places to eat in Red Wing and the Bayside Tap is my regular haunt.

Quite pleasantly surprised! DON’T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER! Amazing steak with REAL sweet potatoes, steamed broccoli, sautéed mushrooms and onions… and don’t forget about the house made wing sauce and house made blue cheese dressing! Best I’ve ever had and I work at a fine dining restaurant!!!

Excellent steak, cold beer on tap, and friendly service.
I frequent the Bayside Steakhouse and Tap House for two reasons: Steak and cold beer on tap.
I have enjoyed their Kansas City strip, Top Sirloin and Ribeye. These guys know how to cook a steak to order. They skillfully demonstrate the difference between medium and medium rare. The steaks are brought out to you sizzling with a touch of fresh garlic and drizzled butter.
There are few things in life more enjoyable after traveling on the road for work than a tasty steak and a cold draft beer.
Cheers to Bayside !!!

Once again the best steak ever. Sweet potato smothered, hot brandy-​wine glaze, and no kidding– the best steak. Never any gristly or inedible bites, perfectly, amazingly, cooked to perfection. In fact, I have never had a consistently great perfectly cooked steak that compares. Excellent service and wait staff!

Stopped in for a quick bite to eat after reading the reviews. My husband & I are both chefs & this place definitely didn’t disappoint! We both ordered the filet mignon — he had broccoli & soup (potato & bacon), I ordered it with the salad (blue cheese dressing) & American fries. The steaks were good size & cooked perfectly mid-​rare. The broccoli was steamed nicely. The blue cheese dressing was made in house & the BEST I’ve tasted in a restaurant to date.
We spoke with one of the owners. They don’t have freezers or deep fryers in this restaurant so you won’t be getting lower quality food that you find elsewhere.
Overall, I highly recommend this place & we will definitely be back!!!’

Great family owned spot. Sort of back woods in décor, newly built patio is next to other restaurant being renovated… but fun place, great staff and food and beer selection is awesome. I’m looking forward to going back and supporting this spot. Hope they have great success!

Ok location with a marginal view of the river. The place is clean but definitely more bar than restaurant. The name says Tap House… The beer menu says not! The menu is very limited and the food is average. The best thing was our server. She was pleasant and attentive and would be the only reason to go back. The deck might be nice in the summer.

Really yummy steaks and free range very good quality beef from local farmers.
Great prices you can get a steak starting just at $ 17 bucks.
I live in Minneapolis and I drove here only for a the experience with awesome flavor in the beef that you get here without paying the city prices.

I didn’t have the steak so my review may get better after trying it. The food I did have wasn’t great. My companion had the cheeseburger. The flavor was good, but it was overcooked and tough. Would probably have been good if it wasn’t so well done (they didn’t ask how we wanted it cooked). I had the potato bacon soup and that was terrible. It was basically a giant bowl of thickened milk with some potato chunks dumped in. There was no flavor outside of milk… No seasoning and no bacon flavor at all.

Taphouse or not… the steaks here reign supreme. This will be short and sweet… the chef (and I think it was the owner) makes one of the best, most succulent, and perfectly prepared rib-​eyes I’ve had. Very «supper-​clubby» atmosphere and menu… basic fare otherwise… but THAT STEAK!
I live in the south metro and will make a special trip just to have this steak!

I was visiting my grandfather in Red Wing, and we decided to try a new place for lunch. The interior definitely has a bar feel, but there are diner-​style tables in the back. After consulting the menu, we both ordered the patty melt with fries.
Positives:
–Nice, huge burger… delicious patty melt.
–Good service — the bartender was also our waitress, and she did a great job of balancing both duties.
–Nice views of the river and a back patio to sit outside.
Negatives:
–Pretty small place… would be pretty crowded if it were busy.
–Bar atmosphere might not cater to all types
Overall, I was definitely impressed with the food here — definitely a good spot for a nice greasy burger and a beer.
