With all the lakes, rivers, and streams we enjoy in Minnesota, we have no dearth of options when it comes to eateries with water views. Rather, the difficulty lies in picking one. Well, we're here to help you out - especially if you live near the Twin Cities metro, where there are plenty of lively lakefront restaurants that cater to the "lake scene" (yes, Lake Minnetonka, I'm talking about you). But those looking for a more laid back dining option with water views can head one lake north to Long Lake. There, you'll find Birch's on the Lake Brewhouse and Supperclub. This stunning waterfront restaurant restaurant in Minnesota offers two kinds of dining with one spectacular lake view.

Birch's on the Lake Brewhouse and Supperclub is located in Long Lake, Minnesota, on the western edge of the Twin Cities metro.

Birch's on the Lake is almost like two separate restaurants in one.

Upstairs, you'll find the more formal supper club, which offers incredible views over Long Lake through its incredible floor-to ceiling windows.

As you'd expect, you'll find classic supper club offerings and cocktails.

On the lower level, the Brewhouse offers more casual fare and a laid-back, brewery vibe - with the same, incredible views.

Birch's offers several of its own brews, including non-alcoholic, THC beverages.

In warmer weather, though, the deck is the place to be.

You can enjoy fantastic al fresco food and drinks with incredible, relaxing lake views.

If you're not local or simply want a getaway, you're in luck!

There's a Long Lake guesthouse just minutes from Birch's on the Lake.

This cozy cottage is the ideal place for relaxing before and after your meal.

We don't think you'll be disappointed with an evening spent at Birch's on the Lake Brewhouse and Supperclub in Long Lake - or in the charming Long Lake guesthouse. For more information, to make a reservation, or check out the menus, visit Birch's on the Lake on the web. For updates and photos, check out Birch's Facebook page.

Have you had a chance to dine at Birch's on the Lake Brewhouse and Supperclub in Long Lake? What did you think? What is your favorite waterfront restaurant in Minnesota? Let us know in the comments!

The Brewery In Minnesota That Features Magnificent Waterfront Views

When the bodies of water for which the Land of 10,000 Lakes is named thaw out, Minnesotans, for the most part, can't wait to gather on their shores - or on their own boats - and celebrate the return of warmer weather. And what better way to celebrate than to hoist a cool glass of local brew? That's what makes one waterfront brewery in Minnesota a particularly ideal spot to be when spring shrugs off its icy mantle and before autumn takes it back up. As one of the few breweries in Minnesota to offer waterfront sipping, Lake of the Woods Brewing Co. in the charming community of Warroad, MN is the perfect place to raise a pint and enjoy all that our incredible climate has to offer.

Lake of the Woods Brewing Co. in Warroad, Minnesota, holds the distinction of being the northernmost brewery in the continental United States.

Better still, its taproom and patio afford its customers lovely views out over the mouth of the Warroad River near where it empties into Muskeg Bay on Lake of the Woods.

The taproom, itself, is airy and welcoming, with awesome views from just about any seat.

A rotating selection of LOW brews is always on tap for your sipping pleasure.

Or you can always enjoy the beer as nature intended - outside, on a waterfront patio.

Even if you choose to enjoy one of the brewery's products away from the taproom, I recommend finding a body of water to gaze upon while you sip.

Not even winter can put a damper on patio season at Lake of the Woods Brewing Co. in Warroad!

So, really, you can enjoy magnificent waterfront views at Lake of the Woods Brewing Co. in Warroad, MN just about any time of year. It's just that sometimes, in my opinion, it's better to enjoy the views from inside the taproom. Either way, though, you get to enjoy some darn tasty beer. To learn more about the northernmost brewery in the Lower 48, visit Lake of the Woods Brewing Co.'s website. You can also check out the brewery on Facebook page for updates and events. Warroad is a little isolated from the rest of Minnesota, so, if you go, you'll probably need a place to stay. Fortunately, there are several decent hostelries in the area to choose from.

Have you visited Lake of the Woods Brewing Co. in Warroad? If you're in the area, you should definitely visit, and even if you can't make it to the taproom of this waterfront brewery in Minnesota, look for its products at your local retailer - you'll be glad you did!
