Minnesota is home to many small towns. All are charming, but some are much more popular than their small populations would have you believe. They transform into summertime oases for Minnesotans trying to get away from the city. This often means that other worthy small towns – especially those close to the Twin Cities – are left in the dust.

That might just be the case for Hanover, Minnesota, a small town west of the Twin Cities that is home to more than a few great attractions that make it worth visiting. One of the best? A lovely restaurant, housed in a historic building, that serves up excellent food. Here’s what you need to know:

River Inn Bar & Grill is a great restaurant in Hanover, Minnesota. This town, about 30 miles northwest of Minneapolis, is an easy trek for those who want to try something new.

River Inn Bar & Grill is housed in an old brick building that dates back to 1894. In 1910, the building became a pool hall. You can still see details from the pool hall today.

Those old details are best observed in the bar, where you can look up and see the old tin ceiling! Both the ceiling and walls of this area are more than 100 years old.

If you don't want to sit in the bar, the dining room - though much newer - is still perfectly lovely. Wooden furniture gives it a cozy vibe, and the friendly servers only add to the comfortable atmosphere.

As for the food, it doesn't get much tastier than this small-town spot. Classic burgers, sandwiches, pastas, and more. Lunch and dinner are served every day at the River Inn.

Pizza and wings are another option! Pizzas are available in many toppings, and there are several great apps to add along with it. You'll be impressed by the tasty pizza at this small-town spot.

In addition to the regular menu, there are also special menu items. Friday and Saturday bring delicious, perfectly cooked prime rib dinners. And every weekday, the River Inn has a lunch buffet!
