9 Best Bars near Green Lake

“We stopped in on St Pattys day. Good thing we got there around 1pm. Jim and Nancy started to play at 2pm and they packed the house! Great mix of music they got many people singing and some even danced. Poor Alaina was the only bartender for a while and although she was hoofing it, she just couldn’t quite keep up. The bar was clearly under staffed. One bartender for a big St Pattys day crowd was poor staffing. A couple of locals and off duty bartenders helped her out by filling beer and washing glasses. Brittany showed up later and then the two of them were able to recover and maintain. Smash burgers were about 40% of the menu but we ordered pepperoni pizza. It was good. The bar was clean, they wiped it several times while we were sitting there. Patrons and staff were friendly. We bought tee shirts and hoodies. Well made, with nice colorful designs. It was a good experience.“

“Went for the first time recently with a buddy who was in town fishing. After looking at the menu and hearing the specials we both decided on the ribs. They were very good. Portions were good as well. We ended up with the signature dish but there were other menu items like Sole that sound very interesting. Definitely will be back.“

“I had the chicken chili. It was delicious. They have a decent selection of beers beyond the usual swill that is served everywhere else. We shared a pizza. It was good. I didn't particularly care for the flavor of the sauce, but that is just a matter of personal taste. Everyone else seemed to really like it. The cheese was a little light for my liking, but again, everyone else was OK with it. There was a fair amount of toppings evenly distributed across the pizza. We ordered the meat special, which includes pepperoni, sausage and I forget what all else.The service was very good, not surprisingly because we were the only party in the dining area, but our server was very pleasant and friendly. My family got to talking to her about the change of ownership of the place and she had nothing but nice things to say about her bosses, the owners. All in all, it was a pleasant experience.I don't see the chicken chili on the list to recommend but I do recommend it. It is very tasty.“

“Found this place on a recommendation from a friend. We had a wonderful dinner from start to finish. Many delicious choices on the menu made it difficult to decide. Our group of four were all pleased with their choices. I would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely return.“

“Have had the New Pizza the last 2 Tuesdays and it is very good !!! We have been getting the thin crust deluxe and subbing out the black olives for green. They really load it up and everything is out to the edge where it belongs. This is a must try !!!“

“Roadhouse Pizza at 102 Watson Street in Ripon is more than just a pizzeria; it's a place steeped in history, memories, and most importantly, mouth-watering flavors.As a regular patron for years, I can attest to the consistent quality and delightful taste that Roadhouse Pizza offers. The thin-crust pizzas, with their perfectly spiced tomato sauce, have become a personal favorite, unmatched by any other pizzerias in the area. Other standout dishes include the Philly steak, the deluxe hoagie (definitely ask for fresh mushrooms & bacon), and the Italian grinder sub – each one crafted to perfection.The building itself tells a rich story, dating back to the 1870s, having been everything from a saloon to an ice cream shop. In the 1970s, it transformed into Gus's Pizza Palace before becoming the iconic Roadhouse Pizza in 1978. The space has become a nostalgic location where many locals recall having their first dates or gatherings with friends and family.The infamous mural depicting gnomes, trolls, and a pastoral setting is a quirky touch that adds to the unique atmosphere. It's an art piece that has been preserved through the years, and it's something that never fails to catch the eye.Roadhouse Pizza is not only a place to enjoy delicious food but also a venue that represents the heart and soul of Ripon. Its continued commitment to quality, tradition, and community is a testament to why it has remained a favorite for so many years. If you find yourself in Ripon, a visit to Roadhouse Pizza is a must. A well-deserved 5 out of 5 stars.“

“My husband and I ate there yesterday. BEST BURGER WE'VE EVER HAD, ANYWHERE. I am not sure what meat mix that use but it was fabulous. He had the mushroom and Swiss and I had the cowboy burger. Homemade fries and the bloody marys were all fabulous. Go here for their burgers!!!!“

“My husband and I were visiting hometown, we couldn’t pass the opportunity to have a date night, since we had free babysitter. The bartenders make our night fun and the people around were nice and kind. I will coming back next year for sure!“

“So glad we found this Mexican restaurant! Coming from California to Wisconsin for vacation every year we always start to crave good Mexican food. Last year we tried the restaurant in Ripon called Aromas and was extremely let down with the quality and flavors of their food so our expectations of finding good authentic Mexican food here were slim. BUT with that being said after trying Las Brasas we were blown away, they exceeded all our expectations and was the best experience eating Mexican food in Wisconsin. From the friendly staff, outstanding service, excellent environment, great menu choices, affordable prices, authentic flavors and generous portions our whole family was delighted and wanting more. I highly recommend their carne asada tacos, Jalisco plate, spicy shrimp, guac and chips just to name a few! You can tell these people know how to prepare quality dishes that you will love. This will forever be our go to spot when visiting! This little gem is hands down the best authentic Mexican food you will find here in the area. 10 out of 10!“
