If you like hole-in-the wall townie bars this is your place. Busse's has the feel of a rural wisconsin bar. Their food is limited to frozen pizza & bagged snacks, but they encourage you to order from the fried chicken place next door (if it's open).

Outstanding dive bar. Folks are friendly, and you can get food from zippy lube next door delivered. A baraboo salad, which is an old style with a pickle, is the way to go.

It is a very quaint little locals watering hole. The staff and environment are friendly. You can also get Zippy Lube chicken there. The sandwich is amazing.

Great little hole in the wall that I found on my way to the airport! Perfect spot to watch the game and wait for my flight!

A certain bartender will talk over you as he scolds you because he didn't like where you put your drink and not let you speak when you're trying to play pool. It's something to go to a public place and maybe try to talk to someone, and since there's no one to talk to, say go try to play pool and then to be yelled at by the bartender without a chance to speak like a human. If you want to run me out of town and just go ahead.

Busse's is a total gem with a really fun mash-up of people, including Donna, who could prolly outdrink most. It has this nice laid back vibe, like everyone has the same chill agenda. Cocktails are robusto, and frozen mugs to serve select tap beers? Busse's isn't going to be hosting pool tourneys any time soon - space is tight between the wall and table in one area, but this only adds to the charm of this place. They hosted a cribbage tournament (April maybe?) I regret not participating in, next time. I highly recommend you go to Busse's, love it, but then don't tell anyone else so it doesn't get too crowded. ?
