Cute place. Nice music. Smelled nice when I walked in. Clean, bar tender-waiter kind and knowledgeable. Wings were good, cheese curds were different than the normal ones I see but pleasantly surprised how good. Fries were good. Has the buffalo, butter and kimchi wings. Bone in...buffalo were my fave.

Great place for a meal. We both ordered sandwiches, one was a fried chicken and the other a steak. Both served with great fries.

Just really need to get the whole thing together. I could see amazing things if they figured how to manage.

My daughter suggested this place to try for lunch. The service was great and the food was delicious!! I could taste the love. I'm glad that someone did something with this place. I will be going back, and would recommend.
The atmosphere needs some help... the ceiling and the occasional wafting of sewerโค๏ธ

Finally was able to make it out to check this place out and was not disappointed! Everything tasted amazing, the freshly made pretzel sticks with great beer cheese and mustard to go with it. Hubby had a smash burger which was made perfectly, I had the wings w/their homemade BBQ sauce that was tasty. The cheese curds were amazing! I also love that this place uses many locally sourced ingredients. Service was prompt and we didn't feel rushed, despite the fact we came in a bit later in the evening. We will definitely be back ๐
This place is small and hectic, but the food and cocktails are exceptional. I had the jalapeรฑo smash burger the first time I was here and it was great. This time I tried the cajun chicken sandwich and that was equally as good. The kimchi loaded fries went so quick I didn't even get a picture. I could have made a whole meal out of them. Fries were good, the pizza was great, and the cocktails were great. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area and want to try some elevated bar food.

I chose this tavern based on Google reviews and I'm glad I did. The food was outstanding (hats off to the chef) and our server, Jordan, was incredibly friendly and attentive. I feel that the prices were very reasonable and the atmosphere was comfortable and inviting.

Boomers pullin up ๐๐ด๐ต, Gen Z deep vibin ๐ธโจ, Alpha kids out here wildin ๐โฆ whole multiverse of vibes colliding under ONE faux ceiling finish ๐๐.
Aesthetic? ๐ธ๐ก Pictures on deck, sparkly lights twinklin like TikTok filters โจ๐ท, ceiling got that FAUX FRESHNESS ๐จ๐ค. Energy? On god, straight immaculate ๐ฎโ๐จ๐.
And lemme TALK about the bartender ๐งโ๐ณ๐บโDUDE came thru rockin a New Glarus FIT that was like ๐+๐ MATCHING, whole Wisconsin drip ๐ฆ๐ง vibesโฆ tough fit alert ๐จ๐.

Final verdict: LITERALLY AMAZING. 10/10. 100%. โญโญโญโญโญ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ป
(nglโฆ vibes here almost distract me from the whole broken-heart-eternal-misery situation ๐๐ฎโ๐จโจ but hey, at least the fries slap.)

The hubby and I finally had a chance to have lunch together and both have been wanting to give this place a try!! Service was great! I found my new fave cheese curds; so delicious! We both got smash burgers and were the best burgers we have ever had. The delicious hand cut fries were so crispy and tasty that we couldnโt stop eating them. We will definitely be coming back!!!
Best wings I've ever had. Some of the best cheese curds in town. Great fries. Pizza was really good.
Definitely going back.
