We like the place, food is good, but we have had very poor customer service last few times. The owner needs to understand how poorly customers are treated? No corned beef 3/17 by 530 pm? We left tonight because no service, and watched at least 10 people walk out AFTER being seated! Yikes!!! All within 10 minutes! If I owned, I would want to know how BAD the service is ! What a shame, we are soo close, but will not go back or refer anyone there?! Why is there no active manager on site? Seating and directing staff members what to do? Unbelievable?

We went there a few times and it was great, just went there this week and the bouncer tried to take some of our ids (we are all 21). We told him we would call the cops to get them back. He quickly gave our identification back and began to trash talk us. He demanded that we leave and continued to speak poorly to us. That's not very professional if you ask me. We ended up leaving and went to a different bar. I used to like Bennet O'Reillys, but I don't think I will be returning again.

My wife and I have never been here before and we wanted to try it. Service was great. Place was busy and their bartender/server Christine rocked the service. The food was far better than we expected. I found out from Christine that the bruschetta egg rolls were coming off the specials. I would literally come back to this restaurant just to eat those. So please keep them on the menu. We also had a burger and a wrap. All the food was amazing. We will definitely come back.

Ordered takeout this past Saturday at South location so hard to rate the place on other things. First time eating from here.This was $20. They forgot the beer cheese sauce on the side so maybe that’s why it looks so skimpy. My wife got their deluxe burger and the amount of fries included was disappointing.

Went to the DT bat. Pretty good wings! Bloody was good but poor on condiments. If wanting simple bar food ..good place but wanting a little more to your dish head to the new one.

Burnt end pizza w green pepper and onion-nice combination crust is not thick crust but very breadlike which holds the meat topping weight. Old fashioned made w Jameson Orange (my request) was delicious. Flame thrower burgers are no kidding spicy hot. Guiness on tap is a definite plus. Nice space w high tops twoisie tables and outdoor patio. So groups or couples are happy. La Crosse family owned restaurant /bar. This is La Crosse Wisconsin at its best

My first time dining experience was very enjoyable on a busy Saturday night. Great atmosphere with industrial/modern decor and friendly, helpful employees. The Bennett Special hamburger was perfectly cooked/seasoned and served on a delicious bun with fresh vegetables and their special sauce; this is the best burger I've eaten in a long time!! I am highly recommending the crispy seasoned tator tots as the side. I look forward to sitting on the patio when it opens while trying the pizza when the full menu starts.

New South Side La Crosse location. Stopped in for lunch. Burger options are great, had the Irish pub burger (grilled onions done right) and husband chose the fish sandwich. Sloppy but very tasty. Both really, really good! A lot of fun pub food options. The remodel has a lot of character. Inviting with the right amount of lighting. We’re looking forward to going back for cocktails—and another correctly-poured Guinness ?. And finally, something on the south side with a patio and great food menu. Highly recommend.

It's a bar! No touch tunes though. Otherwise the seating at the windows is cool to watch people go by.
