For nearly five decades, The Rusty Nail Bar & Grill has been the heart of Thief River Falls. A place where friends become family, burgers are legendary, and the music never stops.

Since 1978, The Rusty Nail has been more than just a place to grab a bite. It's where first dates happen, where teams celebrate victories, where the whole town gathers after a long week.
What started as a small neighborhood bar has grown into one of Thief River Falls' most beloved institutions. Our menu has evolved over the years, but our commitment to great food, fair prices, and genuine hospitality hasn't changed one bit.
Whether you're here for our famous 8 Penny Burger, a plate of wings with friends, breakfast before a big day, or just a cold one after work — you're always welcome at the Nail.
We're not just a bar — we're a gathering place. From fundraisers to family nights, TRF is our home.
Our burgers are hand-formed, our pizza dough is homemade, and our recipes are time-tested originals.
Live music, bar games, big screens, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to stay for just one more.
The Rusty Nail opens its doors on Main Ave in Thief River Falls, quickly becoming a neighborhood favorite.
Live performances become a staple. Local and touring artists make the Nail the go-to venue in the region.
Our signature 8 Penny Burger is born and becomes a local legend — the dish that put us on the map.
Nearly five decades later, we're still serving great food, cold drinks, and good times to our community.
Let our team bring the Rusty Nail experience to your next event. Delicious food, excellent service, and hassle-free planning.
