Great pub food! Good burger and fries, reasonably priced. We're always treated well and feel that the staff is always glad to see us and appreciates our business. The spaghetti and meatballs are tastey and enough to feed two hungry adults.

We visit Rhinelander every weekend during the summer and have eaten at Bugsy's. Food is average at best and poor when accounting for the service and cleanliness. It wouldn't take more than a few days of cleaning and training for the wait staff to make this a destination. Sandwiches are average. Fish fry was greasy each time. Since the kitchen... More

I love Bugsy's and have been there several times now. We frequently go there for our girls' nights as it's a nice, relaxing atmosphere that's never too loud or overcrowded, so it's easy to sit and mingle and take our time. I also bring my family there when they come to visit as it's not as rowdy as some of... More

Great selection of beers, even for folks like me who generally don't drink beer. Menu is generally sandwiches with some other entres thrown in. I... More

We stopped here for a light dinner at the bar. The burgers were good, but inconsistently cooked. Some were med. rare, and some well done. The bartenders were quite friendly, and although we were not locals, they treated us well.

The pricing is high. The food terrible, and the bartenders are rude. Our family used to be regulars, but then they began to realize the pricing getting higher and the service declining a lot

Very good selection of draft beers, good burgers, and friendly staff. Ask about the legend of the "Hodag".
