“This bar is custom fit to the area. It feels like the Lake Madison vibe (local, easy, no frills) and boasts an epic outdoor patio view of the water, too. The location at the end of a residential street makes it feel like you've discovered a secret and the expansive view you find within is the payoff. If weather permits, sit outside.Service was attentive and nice, food was good bar food, beers were cold and plentiful - it's exactly what you're thinking of in a lakefront bar and grille.I kept thinking this would be a 4-star review because everything was good even though nothing jumped out as exceptional. And yet, the more I thought about it, the more I realized nothing had gone wrong, the more I realized the server came by just the right amount, the more I recalled that the beers were just the right temperature, the more I remembered that I got lost in the patio's broad view of the lake, I realized that this bar gave us exactly the Lake Madison experience we wanted without us even realizing we'd been looking for it.“

“Great view of the lake but quality of food vs cost with limited food options - need something to be a wow factor since most places around the lakes all serve the same thing -- Wing Wednesday is good when wings are hot. Good to see the military, police discount which other area places hadn't done.“
“The food was very good. I ordered boasted chicken. The service was outstanding. I had a bunch of family from out of town with me. They had never had Chislic before. They absolutely loved it! When we don't feel like cooking while at the cabin, the Lakes is our go to.“
