About Squirrelly's Dive Bar and Grill in Annandale, MN
A Locally Owned Dive Bar Serving Annandale and Central Minnesota
Squirrelly's Dive Bar and Grill is a locally owned and operated neighborhood spot at 35 Oak Avenue South in downtown Annandale, Minnesota. We're a true dive bar—and we wear that badge proudly. You won't find fancy decor or corporate polish here, just good food, cold drinks, and the kind of atmosphere where you can relax and be yourself.
Located right in the heart of Annandale, we draw regulars from all over central Minnesota's lakes country. People drive in from Maple Lake, Buffalo, Clearwater, South Haven, and Kimball because they know what they're getting: a place that doesn't try to be something it's not. We're here to serve our community with the same unpretentious, no-nonsense approach we've always had.
Our kitchen turns out solid bar food that hits the spot whether you're stopping in after work or settling in for the evening. We keep things simple and focus on what matters—making sure you have a good time and leave satisfied. The menu offers classic dive bar favorites prepared the way they should be, without unnecessary complications or inflated prices.
Kitchen hours are designed to fit how people actually eat and drink in this community. We close the kitchen at 9 pm most nights, but on Fridays and Saturdays we stay open until 10 pm so you can grab food later into the evening. The bar keeps pouring beyond that, of course.
Stop by and see what keeps people coming back to Squirrelly's week after week.
We're not trying to be the trendiest spot or the most Instagram-worthy bar in the area. What we offer is authenticity—a dive bar that knows exactly what it is and delivers on that promise every single time. When you walk through our doors, you're walking into a place where the focus is on the people, not the presentation.
Annandale and the surrounding lakes country communities have a certain character, and Squirrelly's fits right into that. This is an area where people value straightforward conversation, honest work, and places that don't put on airs. We serve the kind of customers who appreciate a bar that respects their time and their wallets.
Our Google Business Profile reviews tell the real story better than any marketing copy could. People come back because they know what they're getting: consistency, fair prices, and a welcoming environment where you can unwind without pretense. That's not something you can fake, and it's not something that happens by accident.
