The theme is Germany vs Ireland. The menus and drinks reflect that. The food tastes like average pub food, but I certainly like the different variety of offerings. You can get some brats, you can get some corned beef. So it makes for a fun night out. On the weekends they often have live music, so it's a good place to grab a drink with a friend and listen to some music. I've been there on multiple occasions, And it's usually pretty busy. Make a reservation if you've got a large group

We stopped by on an evening before 6 pm, before the restaurant became busy, The staff were friendly, provided good recommendations and checked in to see how we were doing throughout the evening. I ordered the cinnamon cranberry smash. It was fruity but not too sweet and seemed to have a bit of spice, maybe from the cinnamon stick. The short rib melt is a big sandwich. The meat was savory and full of flavor. There was a good amount of cheese and honey-ale house onions, which seemed to be caramelized. The au jus was tasty and thicker than most jus'. It was more like a gravy, yet tasty. The fries were hot, crispy on the outside with a fluffy interior. We'd stop by again the next time we are in the area!

The Irish food brought to you! Great Reuben sandwich, and good homemade Irish food! The inside is very well lit, and they have a roof top, haven't been to the roof top, but I heard it's very nice! I will be going back for sure !

Some great beer options, had a nice dark lager on tap that was full of flavor without making me feel stuffed where I couldn’t eat. Staff was excellent and attentive. Cool building to hang out missed out on rooftop, but I will plan for that next time.

P.J. the waiter was on point, always checking to make sure we were good or if we needed a drink. Even with both hands full he still stopped by our table to check on us. Food was also great.

The food is great, unexpected for an ale house. Service is friendly. The owners are usually there also and stop by to meet you.

Food was hit and miss today , service was good. The good: the trinity corned beef sliders, chicken Caesar salad, and the appetizers: cheese curds and beignets, Just ok: signature burger Not great: the kids Mac and cheese was super spicy...the coffee was weak and/or not so fresh, the carrot cake to go (we've ordered it before and the server or kitchen? was kind enough to put the caramel sauce and whip cream in small cups with lids but today, they just poured it on top. By the time we got home, the whip cream was melted and the sauce was soaked into the part of the cake on the bottom. :(

Overall, we love the rivalry. Unfortunately, live music is unreasonably loud and unable to have conversations because of the volume. Otherwise the food and service are excellent and fun atmosphere. If the speakers could be lowered in volume, we would consider returning with friends.

Wisconsin guy visiting tonight and I was blown away by the burger. Cooked perfectly to med rare and for the price you couldn’t beat it. Had the cheese curds and although completely different than Wisconsin curds, they were just as good if not better. Kala was our server and she very sweet and attentive thru the whole dinner. Gave great recommendations and was on top of her game. Will definitely come back if I decide to leave gods country again.
