“Always a tastebud’s delight. Their menu offers an excellent twist on comfort and classic foods with options for all food enthusiasts including vegetarian and vegan options.

Their restaurant is always welcoming and clean. Food is consistently amazing. I highly recommend.“

“Just visited for the first time during Mile of Music and that was THE BEST burger I’ve had in a really long time. Despite it being very busy, the service was great and my food came much quicker than expected. The burger patty was so juicy and delicious and I loved the reaper ranch and cheese curds too. You’re doing it right!! I’ll definitely be back soon. 😋“

“First time at Kountry Bar (I know I know - shameful!!!!) but the beer was ice cold, the atmosphere was amazing, the bartenders were friendly and personable but the burger - OMG the burger was f-ing fantastic. I had the ghost pepper blue burger and it was seriously the best burger I’ve had in…… well, I don’t know when. My husband had the tenderloin sandwich and also loved it. We will most definitely be back. Seriously - you need to visit this bar and grill. You will not regret your decision to stop by and treat yourself!!! 💪🏼“

“Every time I go to the I stopped there.. excellent drinks excellent bartenders… I will always stop there.. last time I was around the place they had salsa dancing lessons.. I should’ve tried, but I’m afraid.. definitely would recommend this place to anybody that loves margaritas or handcrafted cocktails!! Five stars!!“

“We like sitting at the bar. The stools are jammed so tight together and made access really clumsy and difficult (I'm 140# she is 118#). I mean, you're gonna have to get up to take a leak or get a smoke at some point. Otherwise we REALLY had an enjoyable time. Amber was on fire and never missed a beat! I was really flipped when I learned that this wasn't the original location! Amazing what a 40+ absence will do! 👍❤️“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in the Appleton area. However, I was disappointed with the front-desk folks’ lack of creative thinking and can-do attitude. When I called before arriving, I mentioned the number of people in my party and mentioned that I will also need a high chair. He said nothing available inside but patio is open and lots of seats are readily available. When we arrived, he was right, nobody was sitting in the patio. Bad news came after we were taken to our table, “sorry, we don’t have high chair available for at least another hour!” I understand that this may happen, but why do you tell me 5 mins before I arrive that you have everything available? Very disappointing, but this is even more disappointing when it comes from one of my favorite restaurants and I had guests with me.“

“Best old fashioned in the state of Wisconsin hands down. Great space, great atmosphere, great vibe, great ownership.“

“Cleveland Browns fans here, we walked in 3 minutes before draft started and sat down at bar and was treated great. definitely recommend. food was good as well😁“

“Wife and I had a little time to kill so we walked in on a Friday afternoon, had some of their monthly special drinks. The Hocus Pocus and the ButterBeer, both were amazing drinks. We spent time playing the pinball machines and at only two game tokens for pinball can't complain. Token exchange is .25 cents/token. Would come back no question about it.“

“I just stumbled across this quaint little Irish🍀 pub in my opinion, and right off the bat I must say solid with a capital S❗️🍀 the conversation was the owners john, Andy and another dude I forgot his name haha little buzzed up I've been trying to find a nice place where I could call home or I can just go chill and have a good vibes and good people and I believe I have found that spot! The Price Is Right The Vibes are great you'd be a fool not to check this place out 100% my place ❗️🍀 turn off the bat at produced quality across the table they have some original recipes, and just a good original vibe that you don't find in today's world real knows real❗️“

“Girls weekend in Appleton and we stopped on here! So fun! It was Dan the bartender’s birthday & he bought us a drink! Oh and he’s handsome and funny too!!!! Then in came Richard in his well worn overalls selling farm fresh eggs! Of course we had to buy some! We really hope to visit again!“

“Great outdoor music venue! A great place for Mile of Music shows.“

“As a new bartender(Giggles) in the “neighborhood,” I love and look forward to meeting the rest of the ‘hood friends’ when they come and check out the updates in ownership, staff, interior and atmosphere! Great specials, game day food, and fun! 🤩“

“Corner pub is a great place to hang out and owners Kim and Rick are the best friends you can have.“

“Great service and great customer base. Everyone there was so nice! And the bartender made one of the best bloody Mary I ever had and an amazing old fashion“

“Good Dive Bar

This is a good dive bar with a decent selection of beer and booze. The parking can be dicey when they are busy. They have a small outdoor garden for smokers. The bartenders are good, just don't get on their wrong side.“

“Great times great people very fun atmosphere“

“Great place for Friday fish and great place to watch your favorite sports!! Great staff and food!!!“

“A legendary staple of downtown Appleton. You'll have a hopping good time if your looking to eat or drink. Their grill kicks ass, the wings are some of the best in the valley. Drink specials and one of the most rocking stages at mile. If you get a big beer in one of their Mondo mega mugs your guaranteed to have a FROGGING GOOD TIME. Big shout out to Sharron one of the coolest business owners in Appleton. Thanks for all the good times over the years.“

“Gum underneath bar and in my shoes, highly recommend“

“Great eclectic bar. It has that old school feel with tin ceilings and all but has a modern crowd. Its a long bar that even has live music. Great in house PA system. Perfect size and it sounds great. The owner runs sound and knows how very well. Bartenders are very nice and quick. Killer location with a bumpy parking lot. But it fits all the cars to fill the bar. Drinks are stronger that normal but not over done. Great place. Great location. A must go“

“Atmosphere! Awesome people! Occasionally a music venue. Honestly, the only thing I'd like to see different here is music at least once a week! This is a very cool, quant, music venue! But again, some of the best people in the Valley! Good service!“

“A great little inclusive bar with good drinks and a wonderful staff. Dr. Jekyll's - Appleton's favorite place to Hyde“

“A friend and I went to get a drink and play some pool and the bartender kicked us out. Yelling at us saying we didn't tip her last time and was talking about her. I have never seen this bartender before. Disrespectful yelling at us infront of customer. I do hope she learns some manners. But will not waste my time again to go their.“

“We were in town for the weekend looking for a place to watch Packer playoff game. Stopped at 3 or 4 places before this and were not feeling all that welcome. Walked into the Daily Pint and bam! Felt right at home! Can’t say enough about the bartender Cori and also DJ Rick. It was a ton of fun and we will def be back!!“

“Trivia night and customers were having a great time. Vibe over all was nice. Was a tad on the toasty side. Felt maybe issue with air conditioning one side of bar was definitely significantly warmer than the other. Dark haired bartender was great and you could see the girl cooking was working her tail off. Only reason for this post is to let Management know the blonde bartender (long straight hair) was not impressive in the least. Most interactions with guests seemed a bother and barely saw her smile at anyone. She cost you money as we were quick to leave and find a place that didn’t make us feel like we were not welcome. Didn’t want to leave a bad score since the other people working were great. Trivia Hosts were awesome too.“

“There was five of us in town for work. We decided to go to the durty leprechaun because we wanted Irish car bombs. We walk in around 7pm and found three people inside at the bar. There was only one guy working and it turned out that it was Jon the owner. Jon was playing Darude Sandstorm, Eifel 65 I’m Blue, and the Eagles Free Bird on the bars sound system that was louder than a Boeing 747 taking off. We asked for the Irish car bombs, Jon immediately got pissed and tried talking us out of the Irish car bombs saying that they weren’t real Irish drinks and that he didn’t feel like making them. We all got instantly enraged and almost walked out. Looking back it was a miracle from the heavens that we ended up staying. Jon and us decided that Amstel lights and a copious amount of Jameson was a good compromise. So we started slinging back the Amstels and Jameson with Jon as he began pouring them one after another jumping up and down and screaming tiny bubbles at the top of his lungs the entire time. At this point we notice that two of the three people that were at the bar were now gone, as we looked around we noticed the door to the women’s bathroom was open and there were two butt naked women inside just standing there. As the door closed we asked Jon what that was about and his response was again screaming tiny bubbles at the top of his lungs as he vigorously high fived each of us. At this point we knew we made the correct call by staying and that we had a long night ahead of us. Jon then slid his keys to us and told us to walk out back and check out his new Tommy Bahama Mercedes sprinter van. We were extremely reluctant for obvious reasons. Eventually we decided that the possibility of death was worth it and we walked out the back door with him. To our surprise we didn’t immediately fall into a well in the basement and that there was in fact a 400,000 dollar sprinter van out back which we then got an MTV cribs style tour of by Jon. He made sure to point out that it had Italian buck suede leather throughout and that we should now start referring to him as Tommy Walnuts for the rest of the evening. We agreed to the name change and stumbled back into the leprechaun. At this point we estimated that we had consumed 200 bucks of alcohol at a minimum and never once saw Tommy put anything in the computer. We asked him if he was adding our drinks to the POS system to which he replied by pointing to his head and stating that the POS system was in there. We then asked him if he needed help behind the bar which he said absolutely. So one of our guys got behind the bar and began slinging drinks to the rest of us since it’s now 1am and it’s just the five of us and Tommy in the entire place. After depleting 50 plus Amstels Tommy told his new employee (our buddy) that as the new bar back he needed to go to the basement and grab more Amstels. Based on the last potentially sketchy van tour situation we threw caution to the wind and three of us headed downstairs to the basement with Tommy. Tommy proceeded to give us another 30 minute tour but this time it was just him showing us all of the nick nacks and such underneath the leprechaun. It’s easily 4am at this point and all of us and Tommy are on the edge of a brown out. We estimated a minimum of 600 bucks of alcohol. As we start attempting to head out we try and settle up with Tommy who obviously has not been adding a damn thing to the POS system in his head. None of us wanted to leave without paying ole Tommy. He kept refusing payment saying that he had an absolute blast and that it was all on him and we could not accept that. So we start trying to throw hundos at him which he just throws back. We eventually sneak a couple hundred bucks or so in the tip jar. We all hugged it out jumping up and down screaming tiny bubbles and headed out. It was a life changing night that we’ll never forget. Every town needs a Durty Leprechaun and a Tommy Walnuts. Here is a few pics showing just how welcoming the leprechaun is.“

“Good as a cheap dive bar, convenient location for after practice ends. Can get too loud to talk and not a great selection of drinks, but prices are quite reasonable and service is more than competent.

Parking: Small lot, but it's a small place.

Wheelchair accessibility: Main entrance is not wheelchair accessible, there is a side door that is. Restrooms may be up a step, I don't recall if inside it's a steep ramp or 1-2 steps.“

“Excellent food seasoned to perfection. Homemade soups are so yummmy all year long! We love the staff because they are fast and friendly. BEST BURGERS EVER!!! And, their food consistently tastes the same! We love ❤️Tanners and we visit weekly! Give them a try you wont regret it!“

“Love this place! My favorite to go to. Awesome drinks and prices, and even better bartenders. Super clean!“

“8 friends enjoyed 8 different meals!!! We all got drinks and a meal and let me tell you I've never had better Birria than I did on Saturday. The birria tacos were so juicy and the consume was just the topping on the taco!!!! The price was 5.25 per taco but good lord they were so delicious I could have ate a whole bunch!!!! The service was great and I cannot wait to come again to emdulge in more delicious food!“

“Great bartender. Placed was packed, only one bartender. Everyone was happy. Would have been nice to even walk in and not been served because everyone was so nice.. I was well served twice, once while I hadn't even had the cash on hand to pay..“

“Great bone-in wings. Servers need a little more help and/ or training. Walked past our table multiple times with my drink empty in plain sight. Seemed to ignore it and waited until I was done eating before asking if I needed another.“

“Always a fun group of people. And the employees are awesome. So kind and friendly“
