FROM THE WEBSITE:

Fresh from Capestrano, Italy, in the early 1900s, Bernadino and Carmella Fontecchio considered their new home in the United States a wonderful place, despite the fact that times were hard.

Settling in Hurley, the young couple lived above a tavern on Fifth Avenue, owned by Serafino Castagna. Like most other places of business in those days, it catered to the area’s miners and lumberjacks. Things were not always well, especially for the lumberjacks whose riotous behavior sometimes led to their going without food or lodging at the end of their foray into town.

The Fontecchios had a soft spot for these unruly woodsmen, and though Bernadino was fully employed as a miner, he and his wife often prepared and distributed free Italian food to them, cooking in the old bocce ball court next to the tavern.

The jacks and miners remembered them with rings and watches, in lieu of cash, which the couple kept in a cigar box. Most often, these objects were returned. Cooking for others had already become a way of life when they took over the tavern and converted it to a restaurant-bar in 1923, keeping the name “The Liberty Bell.”

On Mountain Food and Drink

After skiing or between runs, Indianhead has a selection of food spots and bars to complete your day. You can grab a burger at the Base Place and a cold one at the Red Dog Saloon located in the Indianhead Valley, at the bottom of the mountain. The Base place is open 9am to 3:30pm. The outdoor deck at the Base place is great place to catch your breath and compare runs with other guests, and on selected warmer days we fire up the grills for an outdoor cookout.

NEW! Sky Bar & Grille has been recently renovated and now offers Live Music from 3:30pm to 7:30pm on Saturdays! On the top of the mountain there are several food and drink options in the Summit Center which is accessible to skier and non-skier alike. The Ski High Cafeteria on the second level serves breakfast and lunch. At the end of the day, stop in the Sky Bar & Grill to talk about the day’s activities.

Bent’s Camp Lodge Bar & Restaurant

Comments Off on Bent’s Camp Lodge Bar & Restaurant

Our Lodge Restaurant was built in 1906. Over the years the building was used for various things, but mostly as a place to serve wonderful food to the guests. The Bent Family prided themselves on this and served home-grown vegetables right from their own gardens. Now we pride ourselves on preserving this tradition of serving the best food we possibly can in this grand old building.

We offer a full menu from homemade pizza, hamburgers and sandwiches to the finest steaks, roasted duck and nightly specials. Fridays we serve our “famous” fish fry along with the best pizzas in the northwoods.
