This place is cash only
Had a great time having a few beers and enjoying the burger of the day. Food was delicious and the service was excellent!
Great casual place!
Every bartender is so kind and loving. As long as ur kind and loving to them. Vibe is good however on super busy days the college crowd can make it pretty rowdy. Beware
Must visit for St. Patty's Day weekend. You must try the special Irish Stew. Homemade only for this time of year.
Grace was very nice and very knowledgeable about the area. I love me a low-key bar in a distant town.
Cozy spot with good beer and sandwiches.

Bartender was super sweet and nice, and made a wonderful beverage. Hung around to play a game. Definitely a divey spot with some regulars that gave off a strong vibe, but I love a good Irish bar.

I travel for work, so am never in one place for long but love getting out and exploring the areas I get to travel to. Apparently you’re only allowed a drink here if you’re from the state of Wisconsin. Anywhere else? Find another place.
I was told to visit here by a friend so that’s what I did. Upon arrival I was asked for my I.D. (Which is perfectly normal, not a problem) the rude bartender took my drivers license, looked at it, and denied me a drink since I’m assuming because I’m from another state. I’ve never once had my license rejected. So for this to be a first just shows the unprofessionalism and how untrained staff are here. I would highly recommend anywhere but here if you’re traveling or have a license from another state.
Probably time to train the staff on how other states government licenses look. Very unprofessional.

Kudos to the Staff! Amazing, with being a Badger game, constant steam of thirsty people. The Clam Chowder! OMG!

Bartenders rude, inattentive, shockingly unable to pour a Guinness
Bar tender treated me and my child terribly. We were going to stop for a drink and went to the bathroom first. Bar tender yelled at us and told us it wasn’t a public restroom. My son is four and almost had an accident. Needless to say we didn’t stay to have something to drink. Haven’t been treated that poorly in a long time. America at its finest. I’m going to guess that lady doesn’t have children

They didn’t have the vodka brand that I prefer (popov) and they don’t put enough cola in their Long Island ice teas. Other than that the staff is attractive enough to warrant the 5 star review. John looks much younger than he appears to be. He is helpful despite his obvious mental deficiencies.
