Our Guests Love Donny’s Glidden Lodge Restaurant

Thursday, March 7th, 2013

donnys_drinks

Glidden Lodge Beach Resort is right next door to an outstanding restaurant that all our guests rave about. The restaurant is Donny’s Glidden Lodge (both the restaurant and the resort are located on Glidden Drive) and not only do they serve excellent food, they serve a really great cocktail too!

On most nights you will find the owner Tim behind the bar, but on this particular evening, Mary was mixing drinks and she mixed my personal favorite – a Whiskey Old Fashioned Press – to perfection!

We suggest you start your own Door County tradition in 2013: spend a weekend at the Glidden Lodge Beach Resort and while you’re there, dine at Donny’s right next door. And no driving necessary – it’s located a short walk through the parking lot.

Call us today and book your Door County getaway. Call 920-746-3900 or email us at frontdesk@gliddenlodge.com
