Pulpit Rocks Beer, so many beers, so little time. Amazing beer, friendly, knowledgeable staff. They don't serve food so you can bring your own or have it delivered. Next to The Landing Market and across the street from the Old Armory BBQ. Easy stroll to your bed @ Twin Oak BnB, no car needed!

This is perhaps know best as The Old Toppling Goliath Tap House. Great Beer, Great People, who could ask for anything more!? Awesome staff, 31 yummy localish beers on tap and even more variety with their eclectic can/bottle selection. Dixies doesn't serve food but may have a food truck during the season or order from Good Times Grill across the street or delivery from Mabe's or wherever. Super easy from Twin Oak BnB without a car.

Toppling Goliath is near and dear to our hearts, well at least our mouths. Great Beer and now great food, now located just outside Decorah on Hwy 9. We miss having them in the neighborhood, but many of their brews are at Dixie's or Good Times. Only 4.8 miles from Twin Oak, worth the short trip. Voted the best bar stools in the galaxy, "by me" 3 years in a row.

Decorah @ it's Finest!

Decorah Parks! I don't know if this is still true, Decorah had more parks in the city limits than any other town of it's size in the USA. This was and still is because of the hard work and dedication of numerous people. THANK YOU! We appreciate what you have done and what you still do! There is lots of great history there if you want to dig deeper. Visit Decorah Parks on-line for more great, great parks, trails, springs, bluffs and all kinds of fun stuff. Dunning's is our favorite.

As a Decorah native I have warm and fuzzy memories of Dunning's as long as I can remember. The "New" stone bridge has replaced many feeble wooden bridges that mother nature has destroyed over the years. I think this one is here to stay! Dunning's and Ice Cave are a leisurely stroll from Twin Oak Bed n Beer.

Only double listing in our guide book, find out for yourself why. A nice walk 6/8 months out of the year or a short drive. Tell them Deb and Brandon sent you and your meal is free. They will either roll on the ground from laughter or call the police or BOTH! OK, that's a lie, No free meal. But it is a Great place to eat, have a drink, meet with friends and enjoy.

Mabe's is a Decorah "institution" that everybody around here knows. Mable White, a natural born "feeder" like my grandma Hazel, Mabe's friend and card buddy started something and her family proudly caries on today. Remember, Mabe's also delivers to Pulpit Rock, to Dixies, to any park in town and right to your door at Twin Oak Bed n Beer.

Корисни фрази

Do I need an interpreter?

Most people in Decorah speak English, well American anyway. Just a few phrases or words that may be helpful. Uff Da can be used to express surprise, relief, exhaustion, astonishment and dismay. Kind of like "what the or holy", used in a sentence," Uff da, I can't believe I ate the whole thing". If you speak Midwestern you'll get along just fine here without an interpreter. Phrases like, what's all this then, I gotta pee and yeah then, are all common phrases you can pick up quickly. If you don't understand something, a simple smile and nod will always work.
