Ideal Bar is a laid-back spot on Atwood Ave, known for strong drinks and tasty bar food. It features a private back room, two pool tables, and a jukebox, making it a good place to relax with friends. The friendly bartenders offer excellent customer service, creating a welcoming environment for watching football games or enjoying some Packers action. The bar also displays local artist Jo Jensen's work, adding a cozy touch. Customers appreciate the good vibes and friendly staff, though some mention that fixing the faucet in the ladies' room and having more than one bartender on weekend nights would improve the experience. Ideal Bar is a cash-only dive bar that is popular among locals, often visited with a puppy. It has a long bar with many seats, a dart board in the back, and hosts pool tournaments in a friendly atmosphere. While pizzas are on the menu board, no one has tried them yet, but they may give it a shot next time.
