The Pines is a restaurant in the heart of Mercer which features live entertainment and dancing in an outdoor setting during the summer season. It is a short 5-minute drive or 20-minute walk from Paradise Point. They have ample seating, good entertainment, dancing on a wood platform, and a huge selection of both libations and sweets.
The Pines is one of our favorites as they have great food, excellent hosts, and entertainment in the outdoor beer garden. They specialize in German food but they also have a wide selection of entrees and weekly specials. They serve ice cream in their parlor during the summer months and feature many delightful sweet treats. The downside is that they often have long wait times. If you plan to go here, always call first!
