The BEST bar in town. Friendly and lively bartenders who make you feel right at home. 10/10 food. I'd even recommend their cheese curds to someone lactose intolerant. Best Bloody Mary in Wisconsin as well. GO TO THE OWL.

My wife, myself and two good friends were in town for the weekend. Ordered some bloody marys before ordering lunch. They were so good that we had to order another round. Ordered brisket sandwiches, wings and cheese curds. They were great. The brisket was smoked perfectly with a great taste. Service was super friendly for a packed bar on a Saturday afternoon. So glad to have finally got out to the Owl. We will definitely be back on our next trip.

Awesome dive bar!!! Love all the decorations on the walls! Pretty big place and lots of space around the bar! Amy was amazing and engaging behind the bar and made it a time to remember!!! We had the brisket Mac n cheese and the Buffalo chicken bites and both were great! Also the chili! Their hoodies and winter beanies are adorable and have both the bar name and then "Lake Geneva" on them! The Bloody Mary's have great flavor and the blue cheese chunks add to it more than I realized! Cant wait to come back this summer!

Everything about the visit was beyond perfect. The service was great. Katie the bartender ran that place with a full full full bar. We stopped with the costume party/ coat drive. 30+ people. Had drinks and a quick bite to eat. The menu has some good looking food. We will be back when we have more time to try more choices.

A bit dive-y from outside but nice enough inside. Bartender was friendly and attentive. Nice food, crowd mixed tourists and locals. Warning: bottles and cans, no draft beer (I greatly prefer drafts).Parking: Single file in front of bar. I could see in theory…again my speculation…that a big event here would exhaust parking.

I'm giving the Owl Tavern 5 stars for its uniqueness of the place. Bar staff were pleasant and witty. I think the only thing that could do with updating and addressing is the outside seating area. Not everyone wants to sit inside when the weather is beautiful. Otherwise, a hidden gem.

Neat place in the woods, classic Wisconsin bar style.
The bartender was great and we met the owner who was a neat lady who promised we’d play Euchre next time we were around !

What a treat this little gem was! It's a little dive country bar, only has table space for about 20) that is super friendly, they call you by your name or "Hi buttercups" as we came in LOL. Great brisket sandwiches, smoked mac and cheese, and their siracha chicken bites were delicious. Kelsey and Marissa were so welcoming! Robin, the owner, was very kind and helpful when I called her about catering our dinner. Then we decided to go in instead. She made a point of coming up to our table to chat before she went home. Very friendly place with great BBQ.

Great atmosphere, food, and staff! A must see in the Lake Geneva area. It's far more welcoming than some other lakefront establishments.

First time here for the fish fry. I have to say for a bar it has some really good fish. You have to try the potato pancakes. I will come here again in the future
