What a diamond in the rough, we were looking for a place close that was serving food and we gave them a shot. Probably one of the best burgers I've ever had, and the sweet potato fries were amazing. Very reasonably priced also, I can't say enough good things about our experience

Looooved the atmosphere here, its very cozy and welcoming. The bartender was kind and attentive to everyone around. Holy cow the shots were extremely generous pours! Amazing. We had the nachos which were exceptionally satisfying considering we just needed some basic food, but it was nothing special. Wonderful Wisco bar, can't wait to return!

BEST FRIDAY FISH FRY I'VE EVER HAD! DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS PLACE! Awesome atmosphere and great servers too. Wisconsin's already way more friendly than Indiana. This place is just another reason why that's true.
