Known her for a long time she love what she does always has a smile on her face. She said she’s only there on Sunday’s? Why I’d like to come to this bar more and she needs more days or evenings. This bar needs more business Kerri will bring it! 🥰“

“Aaron the bartender is great! Thank you! So friendly, so kind. The drinks are super fun / cute, and I especially recommend the pina colada. The service is excellent, the vibe is very cute. Went on a Tuesday night around 9-10:30 - it was quiet which was nice, but livened up towards the end. The drinks could be a bit better which is why I gave 4 stars and not 5 - but I'll absolutely be back :)“

“Ummmmm, I do not remember being here. I must have had one hell of a time because I do not remember being here at all. I do not drink too often, so if I was here and did drink, that would explain a lot.I guess I had a great time. I hope I did not cause any trouble. If I did, I apologize. It's those dang Coronas and tequila mixers that do it every time!I hope I kept my clothes on and did not swing from any chandeliers upside down naked.If I did, I made it home safe, and thank you for not calling the police on me. If I offended anyone, sorry.5 stars and great digs!“

And even on a Thursday there was a good, friendly crowd. I was the only biker but there were a bunch of fishermen hang out and the only people that drink more than bikers are fishermen!

Service was great, beer was cold, shots were strong enough.“

“Low key bar, not a big place but cozy. They have slot machines but no pool tables ? Bartender was very attentive to our needs and came over to chat while I was playing my favorite slot machine, she also enjoyed playing the same game. I know this is random but the Women's bathroom door was the cutest ever. Outside looks like a small cramped but nope. It was surprisingly big and clean“

“I had such a great experience at XGolf Shorewood! The atmosphere is fun, modern, and perfect whether you’re serious about your swing or just there to relax and have a good time.

One of the highlights of our visit was Paula—she was absolutely fantastic. She has the warmest smile and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. She really went above and beyond, especially with her menu recommendations. I’m always looking for higher-protein options, and she knew exactly what to suggest. Everything she recommended was delicious and made it easy to stay on track without feeling like I was missing out.

Great service can make or break a place, and Paula truly made our visit memorable. We’ll definitely be back!“
