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!!
this place is fun, has plenty room vip tables at no extra charge live music evey weekend variety of drinks at reasonable prices clean and well decorated dancing floor and great atmosphere to have fun with fam and friends. they also have a good selection of appetizers which is a plus definitely the best latin - American bar in downtown
Killer birria’s, street corn, and Philly fries. Drinks were top notch.
Excellent place for a night out, so fun and nice dance music. Everyone is very friendly and the drinks are awesome! This place is what Appleton needed! 🪩🌆
Alright people, I am going to admit I had not intended to stumble upon this amazing gem, however, last week we found ourselves here eating an amazing, and I mean amazing supper here before seeing a performance at the PAC. Our group didn't decide before going that evening where we wanted to eat. After waiting for over an hour at a restaurant near by for our '20 min wait' while they 'cleared the table' when we arrived about 5:15 for the 7:30pm show and we still were not seated, we handed in our buzzer and walked away in search of sustenance.
While we found that and so much more wandering into Calavera's! Walking in I was a bit nervous as there was one table filled and the rest of the place was empty. No humans at the bar or other tables. Boy, was that misleading, this restaurant bar was awesome! Each of us ordered different steak dishes and the asada was tender and perfectly seasoned.
So I ordered the Asada Tacos. Normally you get two, however I was super hungry so I ordered an extra one. This comes with tortilla chips and salsa as well. I ordered a Mexican Lollipop to drink. The Asada Street Tacos were perfect, not to greasy at all. They were light, flavorful and I can say that they didn't last long at all.
The chips, people the chips, I don't know exactly what was on those chips! Never have I ever had tortilla chips that were perfectly salted (I am not an overly salty person), and bursting with flavor! I could for sure taste the usual lime but I almost think that they have some secret ingredient as well that just makes that flavor pop! The amazing salsa was there, however I used it more for the street tacos than the chips as the chips were so tasty on their own.
Then there was the Mexican Lollipop drink. It was sweet, not overly so that you would only be able to have one or two before you would sour your stomach from the sugar, but just the right amount. Then it came with the lollipop and the seasoning on the rim of the glass and that just sealed the deal.
My spouse decided that he was going to order the Loaded Philly Fries. This was a large serving and he was sure full when done. It was so good he didn't even let me have one bite to taste, which my dear reader is not normal for him ever! That means it must have been as delicious if not more so than my tacos. He did make comment about the cheese sauce being the best he has had in a long time.
My brother got the steak melt sliders. They were so good and he enjoyed them as well. He mentioned that they also had the scrumptious cheese sauce on it. His only wish after tasting one of my chips was that the chips would have come with his sliders as well or he could have ordered them on the side as he was left still hungry after the sliders and beverages he ordered as we walked to the PAC.
While talking to the young man tending the bar we were able to learn quite a bit about Mexican Tequilas and Mexican Wines in their case. It was rather enlightening to learn so much from someone so young.
I know this is now on the list of places I will be returning back to not only to eat again but to try out their dance floor, dance lessons and more. The humorous decor, lovely atmosphere and intelligent and friendly service have added to the delicious food options to make this place a hidden gem so close to the PAC.
Kyle was really nice about
Came for drinks but the food was a pleasant surprise. Will be back
Super interesting place! We enjoyed the macabre atmosphere. Try the watermelon mojito. It was delicious!
cool place
This place has one of the most extensive tequila menus I have ever seen. The live music was incredible this night and the atmosphere was so inviting. For as crowded as it was, there was still an air of intimacy and engagement with the music. The artists weren’t drowned out by the noise of the conversations throughout the bar and the bar service was on point.

Staff really made this place last night. Service was slow, drinks overpriced, but atmosphere was great. Staff needs s raise.
My wife and I had some time to spare in the area. We walked by and thought a tequila lounge sounded interesting. We loved the laid back environment, truly a lounge. We were able to talk and try fun and exciting drinks and tapas. I would definitely recommend this spot. Loved the atmosphere, service, decorations, and the music.
Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp to the door.

I simply can not say enough good things about this bar. They have the best atmosphere whether you're just having a casual drink with a friend or trying all different kinds of tequila shots. Their new food menu is great too! The loaded tots and tequila bites(pictured) were my favorites. The drink menu rotates with the seasons, which keeps things fun and new, but they still have their classic bests like the sama special(pictured)! The bartenders are always very attentive, and the owners are almost always around to help out. Calavera’s is my personal favorite bar of choice for a night out!
