The Self-Pour Tap Wall Experience: A Fresh Pour in the Crosslake Restaurant Scene
If you’ve never tried a self-pour tap wall, you’re in for something totally different—and totally fun. At UpNorth Social, we’re proud to bring the only tap wall experience to Crosslake, making it easy to sample premium wines, try local beers, and enjoy the freedom of pouring just what you want. Whether you’re a wine lover, beer fan, or just curious, our tap wall puts you in control.
What Is a Self-Pour Tap Wall?
It’s simple: grab a glass, swipe your RFID card, and pour. You’re charged by the ounce, so you can taste a little—or a lot—of whatever catches your eye. Want to compare two wines? Try a splash of each. Prefer just a few sips of a beer before committing to a full glass? No problem. No waiting on servers, no guesswork—just freedom to explore.
Wine-First, and Proud of It
While most tap walls focus on beer, we do things differently. Our wine lineup is the star—featuring selections from some of the world’s top regions, including:
- Rosé from the Rhône Valley, France
- Pinot Noir from Willamette Valley, Oregon
- Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand
- Prosecco, Chardonnay, and more\
It’s a rare opportunity to taste exceptional wines by the ounce, and we think that’s something worth sipping on.
Beer for Every Palate
Of course, beer lovers won’t be disappointed either. We’ve curated a tap list that offers something for everyone—from easy-drinking favorites to adventurous seasonal picks:
- Busch Light (yes, we see you)
- Local sours, IPAs, and ales
- Shandies, fruity blends, and small-batch surprises
Our selection rotates regularly, so there’s always something new to discover.
Perfect for Groups, Tastings & Events
The tap wall is ideal for events and casual hangouts alike. Everyone gets to choose what they love, at their own pace, without holding up the table. It’s an interactive experience and a great conversation starter—especially when paired with our build-your-own charcuterie or grazing tables.
The Only Tap Wall in Crosslake
We’re proud to say we’re the only self-pour tap wall in Crosslake—and one of just a few in the entire Brainerd Lakes Area along with The North Star in Breezy Point. It’s a fresh, interactive concept in the local restaurant scene, and we love seeing guests light up when they try it for the first time.
“This place is fantastic! The staff and owners are so welcoming. Lots of great options for food and drinks and I love that you can control your portions with the self-pour tap wall.”
— Andrea Martin
