“Best meal at a supper club in a long time! Excellent meal tonight.“

“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.“

“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!!! 💪🏼“

“We had my parents’ 50th anniversary party at Electric City Lanes and it turned out great! The staff and bartenders were all so friendly and helpful, and everything ran really smoothly for our group of about 100 people. The food was great and worked really well for our large group. They were super accommodating—we had a DJ and a dance floor, and guests could also bowl, which made it really fun and different. We got so many compliments from people about the night. It was such a great mix of dinner, dancing, and bowling. Would definitely recommend for a party or event!“

“I'm looking for the girl from last night🙃🙃“

“Watched this place change hands a number of times. Got the pleasure of going with family and i always see friends here. It's christmas time and it's certainly decorated for it!!!! If you ever get here on thursday nights, Kareoke is exceptional here. p.s. got to love the new Owner. ❤️“

“THEY HAVE USB CHARGING PORTS where most bars have a "coat rack" type thing and I have NEVER seen or ever heard of a bar w the sort. This bar is chill and cheap and respectful and underplayed since it's half a second out of the way but is MOST DEF worth the 30 second trip out of your way from the main bars in downtown little chute“

“Great atmosphere, excellent service Bartenders interact well with patron“

“Fun bar Good sized. Place“

“Laid back, enjoyable, and great service with soul & just friendly smiles that will bring a smile to your face 😊 .. It's the looks of the place, pool tables, great tunes, ask for a favorite song, and quick service that's priceless with attention with a sinsere quality server, but a sincere person presents the atmosphere, be sure to come here & smile, chillax, no matter where in the Phucking World your from! make sure Ashley .... Serves you! 🐅 Aprd.“

“My favorite thing are the loaded bloodys every other Sunday from 10am-1pm so delicious!!!“

“Stopped in for dinner after a tattoo, and the Capt Jack chicken sandwich was amazing! The old man was impressed with the walleye! 🤩 chill atmosphere and great people working! Thank you! We will be back!“

“The wife and I love this place. Everyone is always so nice and the service and food is excellent!!!“

“One of the top 3 busiest bars I've been to. The atmosphere is crowded, for that reason service feels rushed and their drinks are pretty overrated.

Changes to a 5 because they are aware they are appealing to a certain demographic. Just read the review before attending.“

“★★★★☆
Maritime Bar still has legit potential—classic dive spot with cheap drinks, pool tables, darts, that gritty downtown Appleton feel, and it’s holding its own even after the old owner passed away (rip to the guy who kept it real and raw back in the day). Things got a little quiet for a while, but the new setup feels like it could ramp back up and become a go-to again.
What I really miss are the punk shows—this place used to be the spot for local punk and metal bands to go hard, like the Fox Valley’s mini CBGB’s. No other bar let that scene breathe the same way. And one of my favorite open mics was hosted there too—great energy, real crowd, always fun to jump in or just watch the chaos. Bring back more live music, punk nights, and those killer mics, and it’d be packed and electric every weekend. Right now it’s solid for a chill beer, games, or low-key hangs, but crank that old edge and it’d crush again. Hope it gets there soon—miss the good times.“

“We visited friends in Freedom on a road trip. Ended up here for the Packers game. Such a relaxed but fun neighborhood spot! Friendly patrons and staff. Great drinks, good service...did I mention a real fun neighborhood spot! Not fancy, just good people and atmosphere.“

“Great times great people very fun atmosphere“

“Always great inventive seasonal cocktails and food. Exc coffee drinks and baked goods. Fun drink flights. Definately elevated, yet perfectly casual. Great mix and fun atmosphere. Nice outdoor space if it ever warms up enough to enjoy it!“

“What can we say about Bob's Inn? It has longevity and the name is important. There is a crowd that has been there since maybe they were born.... And then the oddlings that show up after 10pm if they are still open. Good selection except the rum. Bartenders are really fun. Just an overall place to go if you are not pushing for bar close.“

“Extremely nice venue and location. The food was phenomenal as was the service! can't wait to come back!“

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

“Great place to chill and eat and watch the games!“

“I haven't had the food, but the staff seems to be pretty decent for the most part. Some exceed expectations, for sure. Give this place a shot and judge for yourself. :::) Two ladies and one guy have made me feel welcome even though I'm not from around here. I think that's pretty dope.“

“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“

“Love it here!!! The owner, Tommy, is a great guy!! Locals are welcoming!!!“

“Great bartenders, great food and a very welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended!!!!“

“One of our absolute FAVORITE places in the Fox Valley! From amazing staff to fabulous cocktails and menu options… this place is ALWAYS a 10/10 in our book! Thanks guys!♥️“

“What a wonderful evening in your restaurant last night. As a first time diner at your establishment, we were met with rustic charm and elegance, Fresh roses on the tables and an amazing view. Our waitress Amanda M made us feel welcome and her attention to details was amazing. We felt spoiled by her and amazed at her spunk. It was a magical treat for my daughter and myself. Thank you and especially Amanda for making us Welcome and Special & Worthy of a special evening out. ^j^“

“During covid the whole place got a little makeover, Gym Peerenboom handed it down to his son and daughter in law and they are slowly modernizing but not too much! Definitely still a dive bar! No credit card machine but an atm is available! No food but you can order butches or Marty's or whatever else and bring it in! Pot lucks during certain events and games. Very big on the Brewers! Happy hour all day every day!“

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

“everyone is very welcoming its a blast!“

“One of the best bars in town. Friendly people. Love the staff. Clean restrooms. Double Bubble Thursday from 9pm to 1am, never know where the night will take you... Never have gotten the hang of Thursdays. The jam crew from across the street at the Vaudette on Monday nights are loads of fun! My favorite place to end up... Or even start.“

“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!!“

“been going there for decades. new owners are nice.“

“Where is Brent’s black large zip up hoodie already, he’s been waiting 18 years😋“

“fun and friendly bartenders good price for drinks“

“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“

“A true gem of a dive bar :-)“

“★★★★★ 5 stars – The undisputed king of Appleton dive-bar perfection
Listen up, Fox Valley: if you’re looking for the real heart of Appleton nightlife, stop scrolling and head straight to Emmett’s on Richmond St. This place isn’t trying to be fancy—it’s just trying to be the best damn spot in town, and it nails it every single time.
Walk in and you’re hit with that perfect mix of cozy neighborhood vibes: pool tables clicking, darts flying, great music pumping (not too loud, just right), and an outdoor patio that’s pure gold when the Wisconsin weather cooperates. The bartenders—shoutout to Katie, Rachel, and the whole crew—are legends. They’re fast, friendly, remember your name (or at least your usual), and somehow keep your glass full without you ever having to wave. Big-ass beers? Pouring like it’s happy hour 24/7. Craft options? Solid selection without the pretension.
The food? Don’t sleep on it. Emmett’s Famous flame-broiled burgers are juicy, charred perfection—get the classic and thank me later. Friday fish fry is straight-up elite—one of the best in the Valley, hands down. Crispy, flaky, generous portions, and priced like they actually want you to come back. Homemade chili on a cold day? Game-changer. Everything’s hearty, delicious, and served with zero attitude.
Parking in the back is easy, the crowd is a great mix of locals who actually talk to each other, and the energy is always welcoming—whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch, watching the game, or settling in for a long night with friends. It’s the kind of bar where you walk in a stranger and leave feeling like family.
Emmett’s isn’t just a bar—it’s Appleton’s living room with better drinks and burgers. If you’re in the 54911 zip code and not stopping by, you’re doing it wrong. Hands-down my favorite spot in town. 5 stars aren’t enough—make it 10.
Go Packers, go Emmett’s. See you on the patio. 🍻“

“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.“

“Oh, Club Tavern, where have you been all my life? I’ve lived in Menasha 35+ years, and I have never been to Club Tavern until tonight. This was hands down one of the best meals (blackened tuna) that I have ever had!“

“👍 friendly atmosphere .“

“For a relatively small space, Player 2 packs in a ton of fun. The pinball machines are the driver of the entertainment, and there are so many to choose from with themes that range from music, to comics, to TV/Movies, they are a blast. The retro cabinets in the back are pretty worn, but they certainly fit the bill and are very reasonably priced. My family enjoys spending an hour or so in there when we are downtown, and it scratches our arcade-itch, for sure. Their Green Bay location is an upgraded experience, but again, for a small arcade bar on College Ave, this is a lot of fun.“

“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!“
