Spar Tree

Sitting here at this moment with the hubby chowing down on a black and blue and he’s having the bacon jalapeño pepper jack with some amazing fries!!! Love this place

Spare the Spar Tree… Even with a new restaurant /​bar in town Joe and his great Spar Tree staff still get my business over that other place. Outstanding burgers, fresh fries, great coconut prawns/​shrimp. And great cheese sticks … All above average.
Give me more Joe!
With a beer.
Never been let down here.

Great beer and free pool… Joe the owner is the best! The staff is always prompt and friendly… and you have to try the french fries! Yum!

Fabulous service. Homemade fries, hand battered panko fish. House coleslaw. Recommend with no reservations.

I’ve been coming to the Spar Tree since I moved to Granite Falls in 2005. I’ve seen it change ownership three times now. Currently Joe is running it the best I’ve seen. Awesome food great service from the girls & Joe.

This place is awesome and has an inviting atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly and will immediately make you feel at home. Great food as well!

This is a cute place. Nothing intimidating about it like I initially thought. The drinks are SUPER cheap in price but HIGH in quality. I had a «Liquid Marijuana» after it was recommended to me. OMG… So yummy! I’m a fruity-​drink kind of gal and this is my new fav! Plus it was $ 4! The food is good here too. Had the clam strips… very well cooked. Kudos to all!

Despite moving into town, my girlfriend and I made no real effort to visit this place because we figured the only bar in a small town, having no competition, probably wasn’t anything to write home about. We couldn’t have been more wrong. Joe is super friendly and he makes some amazing food. Completely disagree with the review that said this is standard «bar food». The first thing I said, in fact, after taking a few bites, was «This is so much better than bar food is supposed to be.» This is my go-​to for food in town from here on (Omega is good too, but it’s friggin expensive). Haven’t tried anything I didn’t like, although I do wish the hot wings came in a much hotter variety. Big ups to the burgers and fries, and the fried seafood appetizers are choice as well.
Oh yeah, and the pool tables are free.

The atmosphere is nice and is everything I would expect from a serious small town bar, from the friendly staff who take the time to get to know you to the decorated dollar bills covering nearly every inch of the walls from other appreciative patrons.
Joe makes some truly awesome burgers, excellent brined fries and other options in their small kitchen. I quite often get a Black and Blue burger to go on my way home to Arlington, and I can’t recommend it enough, give it a try.
Another poster attributed the cooking to «Cranky J’s Soda Shop,» when I asked about this awhile back Joe had no idea what I was talking about, you can order shakes from the gas station just a few feet down the street but everything else is made in house.
It also seems to be the local haunt for pilots and eccentric aerospace engineers if my many visits are any indication, so if you’re a fellow pilot come in the afternoon and enjoy a beer, burger and conversation, or in the evening for music and pool.
Dining and hangout options are quite limited in Granite Falls, luckily the Spar Tree is there and more than makes up for that.

The Spar Tree Bar & Grill is a great place to eat, drink, play pool, or just hang out. The atmosphere is second to none and people are friendly country folk. The personalized dollar bills all over the walls act as mini time capsules and feelings of nostalgia overcome my being as I drink ICE COLD beer and reflect on the many crazy nights had at the Spar. The juke box has anything and everything you could want to hear.
I’ve been going to this bar for a few years now and I can’t believe how far they have come from when it first opened. The owner «Joe,» keeps a very clean (Bathrooms are not like what you’d expect from a small bar in granite) and respectful environment, which is nice if you want to go on a date here, or it’s your first time. I’ve also witnessed a number of disrespectful and unruly people being asked to leave, only after a number of attempts by bar staff to restore peace among patrons. Some of the reviews on this page are funny to read because I have witnessed some of these customers being out of line and then they are confused as to why they’re being asked to leave.
As far as the food goes, I don’t think there’s a better option in town. Try the black and blue burger if you’re hungry, it’s one of my favorites. If you just need a quick protein boost, the steak bites are delicious and its comes with a variety of sauces to choose from. The fish and fries are also good choices.

Comfortable atmosphere, friendly pepes, and free pool. Most of the food here is homemade. Very nice place for adults to eat out in town.

The Spar Tree Bar & Grill is a must stop if you are in, or passing through Granite Falls.
The owner Jo delivers some of the best customer service I have experienced in a long time. Supporting that excellent service is a great menu, with delicious burgers, wraps and my favorite, the Cajun steak bites. The kitchen is small, but the wait is worth it. Sit back and enjoy the music !

I love dive bars. Not this one though. The owner was rude.

Eh… It was alright. Not a fan of the food. Burgers were over done and way to salty. Same with the fries that had parsley or some tasteless herb glued all over them. Someone apparently wants to cook but, doesn’t have enough taste bud balance to pull it out of the «Bar Food» category… And so there it remains… Nice people thou!

This place is fantastic! Seven friends and myself showed up without warning on a Sunday night and we were starving after hiking all day. The owner was the only guy running the whole place and he was completely amazing. I’m not sure how he got us all drinks and tons of awesome food in such a short time period while keeping other customers happy as well but he did. And, it was a great price! We’ll be stopping there next time we’re in Granite Falls again. Thanks Spar Tree!

As a new local to the town was looking for a place to hang out at. And I found it. I have been here twice and have eaten twice. Best bacon burger I have had in my life. I highly suggest it. Second time I had the french dip, which was really delicious. I deffinently recommend this place. However they only have burgers and sandwiches. Don’t come here for a salad.

Best new bar in Granite Falls. The owner is very accommodating.

This is truly a great freindly bar. The owmer is working long hours and it shows. The bartenders are fast and personable and the place is exactly what a bar should be. Great food, cold beer, good selection on the juke. This type of establishment is what GF needs to turn it around. Tell them Zip sent you.

Was really great to see its back open & under new ownership! such a great place! Great food, good drinks and friendly staff! new hot spot in GF to me!

Oh, Kathleen likes! Why? Pool tables galore, a jukebox that plays all my favs (GNR, Bön Jovi, Godsmack, Lincoln Park, Poison, Ozzy, Nine Inch Nails, and the list goes on), and friendly locals who invited us to join their pub crawl on a Saturday night. Lisa asked us what we wanted to drink before we sat down. Loved her for that b/​c we were freaking thirsty after summiting Mount Dickerman. Food is not made in house, but Spur Tree partners with the soda and burger shop down the street, Cranky J’s Soda Shop. Chef made us some super delish burgers and hand delivered them himself. I had the Goober burger with peanut butter. Oh how I love my peanut butter! And I am willing to eat it with anything and everything! The spicy fries are hands down much better than the string fries and are oh so good when you dip them in melted peanut butter.
If you are on the Mountain Loop Highway and looking for a drink, tunes, and good time, then swing into Spar Tree. Why? B/​c Kathleen likes!
