CHRISTMAS 247!! Ambiance would be 100 ⭐️ if I could. Here’s the deal, super popular place so it’s often jammed packed, so just get ready to deal with crowded space. Being from the service industry I was really impressed with the speed and patience of the staff. Dealing with a full bar, drunken debauchery, cash waving customers barking for your attention, takes a special breed and I saw really good service. A must visit & drink in Appleton!
If your caught standing in one spot with nowhere to move, play a drinking version of “I Spy” 🍻

My girl and I happened upon this place while staying at the former paper valley hotel. Lovely surprise- virtually empty inside with friendly regulars & staff. Early March martinis in the afternoon under Christmas lights !

We have stopped Christmas Eve 2 years in a row now for a drink. I guess it's going to be a new tradition now that our son is over 21.

First time here over the holidays and loved it! It was a busy Friday night but thankfully we were able to squeeze in and get our drinks. I tried the “dirty snowball” drink which is their signature drink and it was really good .. it’s like a malted milkshake!

It's one of my favorite locations in downtown Appleton. Known for their dirty snowballs and old fashions. Drinks are great the ambiance is great.

Happen to see Cleo’s on Facebook with their Christmas 365 days a year and special drink drinks. Stopped in and had a couple drinks and enjoyed the atmosphere with all the fun color and lights plan to go back there again sometime soon, the fancy drinks are a littlemore expensive but it’s definitely worth a trip. We had the dirty snowball drinks.

No matter how busy it gets (and it’s ALWAYS BUSY) the bartenders and staff are quick/efficient, kind/friendly and the drinks are fabulous. Great place for a drink anytime if year

I ALWAYS come here when I go to Appleton. HOWEVER on 12/6 at 10pm ish, I was TURNED AWAY at the door by this VERY RUDE older lady. I was sooooo disappointed by the RUDENESS. I used to love this place for the Christmas vibe and also the overall drinks experience…super super disappointed by the rudeness of the elderly lady who was apparently a bouncer at the door. I’m hopeful this will get corrected.

What a place. It's a Christmas bar all year round. Good music (was not Christmas music when I went on black Friday). Despite being at capacity with people waiting at the door the service was fast and friendly.
The bouncer deserves a medal for capacity control.
While most bars in WI will allow people under 21 to enter, Cleo's will not. You must be 21 and over to enter Cleo's. This is not a huge deal but being from out of town and it was not posted anywhere else (except on an inside door of the bar) I thought it deserved a spot on this page. I have family members that are adults but under 21 and we were looking for a festive activity. Would have been nice to know before paying for street parking. The inside was cute from the little we saw. Will be coming back when we have an all over 21 group.

OMG, so I'm from out of state, here for work. This whole town is a huge downer, with nothing to do. So i tried a bar here and there, and they're all horrible. One Monday I, by chance, found this place. I'm so glad I did, I loved it! For Monday, it was pretty lively. The customer service was great, and the decorations..... I love them! I love Christmas, so an all year around. Christmas thyme, I LOVE! They had drinks that were Christmas themed and well. The only thing was they didn't have food. Maybe it was just the time it was. But you gotta have food when you drink ! Sad I had to leave to another place to find food. Other than that I would definitely recommend for a friend.
