50 Best Bars in Appleton

“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 coffee is smooth and flavorful, their Bloody Mary is top notch, and their beer selection is pleasantly satisfying. Their staff are down to earth, friendly and attentive. Their restaurant is always welcoming and clean. Food is consistently amazing. I highly recommend.“

“Great bartenders, fun atmosphere!!! We used this place as a meeting place for our family members from across the states, had a fabulous time!!! Couldn't have picked a better location !“

“1st time patronizing this local bar and eatery... definitely NOT impressed and will NOT be back. My husband ordered the Royal burger. First of all, the burger is suppose to come with a fried egg on it. When we got our food, there was NO fried egg on the burger. After about 5 minutes of waiting and his food getting cold, the waitress (?) finally came back to the table and we inquired about the missing egg. She took his plate back to the kitchen and had the cook just add a fried egg to the now very cold and unappetizing burger! No one in the eatery even gave it a second thought! I do believe that once food leaves the kitchen and has to be brought back for any reason, especially because it was not made correctly and your customer has to tell you how to make it, that food is to be thrown out as it has gone across the counter. So not only was the egg missing from my husband's burger, his food was absolutely cold. THIS IS WHY WE WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THIS EATERY NOR BE BACK!“

“Very cool place. I was skeptical when I heard it has Christmas decor. Tastefully done. Turns out it's a Firefighter bar too. I bought one of their cool tshirts. Great bartender and good drinks. Did not have any food, so I can't speak on that.“

“Our teen daughter’s favorite place to celebrate her birthday! Hubby & I live that it’s always during Restaurant Week so we can do the 3 course lunch. Our food was delicious. Since it was her birthday they brought her a piece of cake with a HUGE sparkler candle on it.“

“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😁“

“Good spot to grab a beer and play pinball. Maybe an hour to waste. Lots of broken arcade games. Not kid friendly if your worried about adult language.

Was there during the day. Language was the issue. Mrs pacman just ate a token. Terminator right gun had no on screen aiming sights. 4 player battle Pac-Man has joystick broken. Off road racing game went dark.“

“Honestly... It's the first bar I have gone into alone in years! There's a community spirit there with welcoming arms to newcomers like myself! People of all ages and all walks of life patronize this place! There kindness is Keen, the bartenders are superb, including the owner. The menu is small, but the taste is great...I can personally vouch for chicken wings, chicken tenders, combo basket, fries and steak sandwich! Pizza I had was delicious!(Lotsa Motsa, I think)The place is nice and clean, it has a pool table, bowling game, entertainment gaming, jukebox and darts.There really isn't anything bad with this place, except, and I say this with respect...one mid life male bartender either does not like to cook, can not Cook or the owner doesn't allow him to cook ...Whatever the reason Please cut him some slack because the place is still there for our enjoyment!! I hear he will bake a pizza and I know he will advise you he does not cook! LOL I love the people who go there...people meet to play games, like Sheephead and Cribbage! Oh yeah...prices very reasonable!“

“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 people great drinks great atmosphere. Had an amazing time at the drag show they hosted!“

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

“Great times great people very fun atmosphere“

“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!!“

“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! 🤩“

“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“

“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“

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

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

“Very tasty Bloody Mary’s - and the price was fantastic! Only $4.50 for a tall (and only $3 on Sundays). All the fixings including pickle, olive, mushroom, sprout, beef stick and very delish asparagus! Friendly bartender and several large TVs. Would be a great place to watch a Packer game. We will be back!“

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

“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 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.“

“There was only one person working tonight, so there was a little bit of a wait, but we understand. This guy was amazing! Great customer service! Great prices! Drink prices also great! The bar isn’t fancy, but I truthfully didn’t want fancy. It’s clean and nice. I recommend!!! 👍🏻“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food was REALLY good. We were pleasantly surprised. First time there and everything ordered was excellent. Burgers are amazing. Fries were excellent too. Appetizers were really good. So we're the chicken nachos but that was huge, definitely could have ordered one and it could have fed 2-3 people easily. Drinks were good.“

“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!“

“we are in town for state bowling and came here for dinner. when we first walked in, Brett was quick to find us a spot to sit. I watched him flip tables quickly and he had a smile on his face the whole time. our waitress, Amber, was the best server I have had in a very long time. she was so friendly and attentive. the food was also delicious. 10/10!“

“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..“

“I love it at Chadwick’s! Just an easy, fun, yet hip and trendy atmosphere! Great music / videos! Friendly peeps, decently priced drinks. Must stop place on the Ave!“

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

“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.“

“SO and I wonderful meal on Saturday. Had a bit of cabin fever and were looking to spend a little time out of the house. Arrived for a late lunch/early dinner. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. SO had the Saturday special prime rib. I had bbq ribs and brisket. Both were delish. Also had stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer which were excellent. Highly recommend! Very nice atmosphere for a date night.“

“Had Sunday brunch and we’re very pleased with the whole experience.. Chef Nick served up a delicious meal and the service was great! Looking forward to another chance to try another dish from their new menu.“

“Great place to drink! The drinks are cheap and good! The bartenders always have an amazing attitude and always got their customers backs when it comes to creepy guys <3 Will always be a frequent here!“

“I’ve been going here since the old location. I usually get Heather and Papito around the times I go. Food is always quick, conversations great and always jokes to be had. My favorite burger (the only one I get and made into a turkey version) the raging Cajun is no longer on the menu, but they know that’s my same order with a side of Cajun/BBQ fries. The other servers I’ve had over the last couple summers as well have all been great as well. Cheers!“

“Super friendly people! They were willing to accommodate a very large group with super short notice! Thanks Angie and Collin!“
