McCoy’s Pub Now Has A River Deck Elk River MN 55330

One of the more famous Elk River Bars is McCoy’s Pub in old Elk River. McCoy’s Pub used to be Dick’s Bar then Mitch Miller’s and now newly remodeled is called McCoy’s Pub. The bar isn’t new but improvements are always being made. A few years back the bar was remodeled the lights turned up and the beer selection made much better. The food menu has also expanded and now has much more than traditional greasy bar food. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that :) One thing this Elk River bar has always lacked is a river front patio. Considering it backs up to the river this has always been something I thought they were missing. But now they have a new river patio deck off the back of the building making McCoy’s Pub another great summer hangout in old Elk River. McCoy’s Pub address is 651 Main St Elk River MN 55330 their phone number is 763-441-0401. Hours are Monday – Saturday 11:00am – 1:00am and Sundays 11:00am – Midnight.

Elk River Pizza Ranch Passes The Delivery Test

Pizza Ranch has delivery? That’s what my wife said when we were kicking around heading out to try the new Elk River Pizza Ranch. However we were tired and had just returned home from shopping. Well i’m pleased to say that Pizza Ranch not only has great food, but the delivery is excellent. When we called we did so on a Saturday right at the peak of dinner time. We were told the wait would be 45-60 minutes. No problem it was expected. However I was pleased to see the delivery arrive in just 40 minutes. The driver was just as smart and friendly as the person who took my order. The food was also very good. We had a specialty pizza, chicken wings, chicken fries and cheese sticks. All very good so our first experience with Pizza Ranch was a great one. If you want to see for yourself, call Pizza Ranch at 763-441-3000 and make your own delivery order. I think you’ll be glad you did.
