💥A beautiful place to gather! Fratellos offers a one-of-a-kind unique experience. Located in the historic flats and overlooking the beautiful Fox river! Ahhh!

When you enter the restaurant directly to your left, they feature a beautiful modern style bar with vaulted ceilings floor to ceiling, windows, and beautiful decor.

The central restaurant offers a turn-of-the-century look since it used to be the Vulcan mill many years ago. The atmosphere...

★★★★★
Fratellos is easily one of the top spots in Appleton—5 stars all day for the bar alone. Killer drinks (their handcrafted Fox River Brewing beers hit different, great wine list too), solid cocktails, and that chill yet upscale bar energy with the river views and waterfall patio in the background. The whole place just flows—spacious, not too loud, perfect for grabbing a drink, date night, or hanging with friends.
And the food? Straight fire—chef-inspired...

Beautiful place overlooking the river with great fancier food 'n drinks that aren't that expensive. They have craft beer & premium liquors. And also an awesome mixologist that makes her own complex custom drinks.
