The Pier Sports Bar

We stayed here for our first time visiting Blind River and were pleasantly surprised by the attentive service and delicious food at this hotel and restaurant. The hotel is a humble wood building with an old charm to it. The rooms were renovated and were well maintained during our week stay. In addition to the sunset views on the lake, the location of the restaurant right next to our rooms was more than convenient! Although labelled as a sports bar, the food at the Pier Sports Bar easily surpasses most restaurants and pubs we've visited, and is well-prepared with high-quality ingredients. We enjoyed the fish and chips, a large portion of chicken wings, fish tacos, chicken sandwich, and their signature burger. All were well prepared and the sides including their seasoned fries and caesar salad were no less delicious than the entrees! Both the restaurant and hotel are locally owned and family run, which is clearly evident during your stay and/or visit. I would highly recommend this location for anyone looking for a hidden gem to visit along the highway. Edit: forgot to mention the reliable and fast internet we had the entire time. Made a big difference!

100 points for location! Set right beside the river, patio overlooks the river. Very spacious inside. The tables set near the window have an amazing view of the river. Food is fine. Service is good.

They have some really good specials in the restaurant. They took the time closed due to covid to redo the whole restaurant and it looks fabulous. I will say though as someone with food allergies that the plain fries are spiced so keep that in mind. Great local hotspot to done stay and enjoy a family meal a round of pool or a romantic getaway. definitely make sure you take a sneak peak out the back patio as you can see some amazing water views.
