Slippery's Bar&grill

Slipperys as you see it today has been a Bar & Restaurant since 1979. The reason for its success is also its greatest downfall, it sits so close to the Mississippi River. It attracts many boaters, snowmobilers, eagle watchers & diners seeking the best view, food, beverages & service in the area. However its close proximity to the river also makes it prone to flood, which has happened many times over the years. In the spring of 2001 the river rose to its second highest crest of 18.2 feet, filling the Bar & Restaurant with 5.5 feet of water. In a river town like Wabasha, everyone watches the river closely and if a flood is imminent, the entire community works together to keep the flood waters out.
