Not sure why no one from our annual Maupin group has written a review but hey, I'll do the honors. In short the Rainbow Tavern is AMAZE-BALLS. Every year we come to our friends house here, tear up the river on our pirate, viking etc rafts then meander on over to the Tavern for some boozin' good fun with the townies! Don't try and get fancy and order a kamikaze, they'll just have no idea what you want. Stick to the beer and shots or box of wine in the cooler behind the bar and you can't go wrong in this lively watering hole!
Review Source:The only place for late night rowdiness! The "Bow" is a must stop after a rafting or fishing trip if you're staying the night. The weekends are usually packed during the summer, but there is generally live music and a great mix of guides, locals, and rafters. Â It's certainly not fancy but the drinks are strong and cheap! There's a pool table, gambling machine's, dance floor, and Hamm's on tap.
Winter's are a whole different story. The patronage consists of the locals and the occasional group of fishermen or construction workers. Usual pub fair prevails but there are a few surprisingly great dishes. Check out the specials and the dinner menu.
