Their mushroom and Swiss burger is the best in rhinelander!! But all of the food is delicious!! A must try place if you’re from out of town. The owner Randy is the best!

We've been to the Jailhouse a couple of times, and both times we were greeted by a friendly, attentive bartender. It seems to be a great casual hangout for locals, but we found them to be welcoming to newbies, also. Their daily specials consist of generous servings of good ol' comfort foods at a reasonable price. Nice place to have a beverage, eat, and enjoy the lake view.

Small town bar with a beautiful lake view and dockside parking if you are out in the boat. More parking behind building. We get their pizza and love it. We get their burgers and love em. We get their tacos and love em. Guess I should just say we love their food! Not sure what nights they have music but it's good and worth the crowd

Historically the best place for food on the Wisconsin River. Winter season same great menu, super decent prices and really good deals on daily specials.

People around are fun and interesting. The pizza was excellent, and the beer was good. Good place not only to locals but to tourists.

Nice atmosphere. We went around 5 so it was not to busy. It wasn't so loud you couldn't talk/hear comfortably. The bartender was quirky, maybe a little cocky, but all smiles, and patient being our first time there and not knowing the way he runs things. Portions were big. I got nacho supreme and could not eat it all. My husband got 1/2 lb bacon cheeseburger with thick bacon. He will probably order a smaller one next time. His only complaint was no salt on the fries or salt on the table. We will visit again, probably try fish or pizza.

Nice chill bar with a great atmosphere and great music. Staff was fun and friendly. The pizza was good along with the Mac bites. Will be back and look forward to trying new food and drinks. Also right on the lake so can make a day of it if you want.
