39 Best Bars in Oshkosh

“Pretty sure Original Pete’s menu says not to even ask for tomatoes, “that’s what ketchup is for.” Pete’s Garage West (EAA) is way more bougie. They have pico! Not just tomatoes, DICED tomatoes with cilantro and whatever!

But who am I kidding? I just wanna be in Pete’s next book.“

“A vital part of the Oshkosh experience. A must-go-to!“

“Jim is awesome, a good guy!!!!“

“I would recommend Twisted Roots. Fantastic people and bartenders . The owners are so friendly and caring. They have Fantastic bands come in. You will not be disappointed.“

“great atmosphere and service, don't miss“

“always have a great time great people great vibes usually have such a good time I get a hotel room lol“

“Don't order any food it's all freezer burned. Unless they changed the menu, stay away from the pizza and ask the staff if it's OK to eat there. THE BARTENDERS WERE EXCEPTIONAL. Anticipated beverage distribution ahead of the customer emptying the one in front of them. Funny and fun people to be around. The appeal for regulars to stop in each week and for new customers to stay for a couple is easy to understand here.“

“Good Bartenders and fun too.“

“Nice and clean establishment, with a bit of an upscale feel. Attentive staff and really good food!!“

“Husbands obsession with these hotdogs is borderline psychotic, but they make him happy 😁“

“This bar is a hidden gem. Very spacious and reasonably priced drinks. Bartenders were just so sweet and very welcoming. I may or may not have had one too many and left without my hoodie. When I realized this, I had a very cute interaction with the guys there. They hung it behind the bar to ensure it was available for me when I came back for it. 10/10!!!!“

“I love a good dive bar, and this is one!!! From younger college students to older regulars, all get along. This is one bar that was hit hard by the pandemic, but Nick the bartender is great and hopefully they will soon be back to pre-pandemic crowds! Cold beer and lots of drink specials during the week.“

“awesome lights. good drinks. nice patio“

“Stadium has the best bar atmosphere! You’re guaranteed a great time with great people every time you come to this bar. The cleanliness and care that this bar maintains is great and there’s always drink specials! I heard they have the best bartenders in town too! 😉“

“Great drinks & food everyday 👍🏻“

“Awesome daily deals! Great staff!“

“I have heard rave reviews of Cooligans pizza and had to stop in and try one. I ordered for takeout, so the cook asked me how done I wanted it. My plan was to reheat it on my grill, so they baked it to order and left it uncut. I thought that their crust was light and crispy, the sauce was not overpowering, and the toppings were generous (especially the cheese). The pizza would have also been a lot better with fresh mushrooms. I also tried the sauerkraut chili but wasn't impressed. It tasted like any other Midwestern chili. I would recommend stopping in if ever in the area.“

“Great people. GREAT BARTENDERS“

“The bartender Samantha is super swell. She likes Blackberry Brandy. Buy her a shot!“

“Absolutely incredible atmosphere and great bartenders.“

“Very clean, welcoming tavern with great music and great bartenders!“

“good people and bartenders!!! food also“

“Nice place, clean, friendly staff. Nice to order a drink at your machine in the menu area. Prices for food and drink are reasonable. Like that they have a coach bus that picks up at different spots, and you don't have to drive so far. Nice give aways.“

“Such a fun bar! Love Kareem’s nights!“

“Great food, great service and fun! Starting June 24th @ 7am they are starting the meat raffles again, along with every Tuesday @ 5pm.which is already happening. For a great drinking time and wonderful conversations, come to Retro's. You will not be diasapointed! Definitely a hidden gem!“

“Partial to Patty melts and theirs did not disappoint. Good bread, grilled in butter, not some nasty oil. Plenty of cheese and a good beef patty. Service was timely and friendly. Had cottage cheese as my side and only reason for 4 vs 5 stars is it was not cold, not warm but cold. I also liked the atmosphere with lots of sports on the many tv’s.“

“We never miss our yearly visits here (and sometimes throughout the year!). It's what makes EAA Oshkosh what it is. Friendly, historic, and a place to see and be seen. We look forward to each year, knowing that this is where we have to go.“

“awesome bartenders..and amazing environment...and great food :)“

“Got a chance to shoot league darts here. VERY good dart area, no cross traffic with good lighting. Bartender (older lady) was very friendly and even gave our team a free drink and was supportive even though we were the visiting team. Quiet bar with old school neighborhood vibes. Clean and neat bathroom as well.“

“We loved Peabody's! Brought many friends and family of all ages for a weekend wedding in Oshkosh. The outside patio provided the perfect space for everyone, with the fire tables, swings, bags games, and picnic tables. The staff took great care of us, and good times were had by all!“

“Fun time ! Diane and her bartender Terry gave us tremendous service! Plus a shut box and dice game! Drinks were 👍👍👍👍“

“Tones and Jordan are the best ever in the world“

“5 Stars – Beth is a Rockstar!

Beth is an absolute gem! From start to finish, she was attentive, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure everything went perfectly. Her energy is contagious, her knowledge is unmatched, and she made every step feel effortless. If you're lucky enough to work with Beth, you're in the best hands possible.

And as for the joke:
Beth is so good, even Google asked her for directions!“

“Great bar they give me a free beer 3 of them love it“

“awesome people great atmosphere definitely a spot to just sit and have a few drinks or a bite to eat“

“Great food!! And an amazing staff!!! Had a great time playing would you rather? (At the bar) Awesome place to visit!!! 11/10“

“Atmosphere was chill, no drama, but I lost two games in a row to a couple that did not look like pool sharks. However, in their drunken state they made their wins look easy and my game was on point this night too! Good music variety as well. Keep in mind it's a Thursday night...“

“Came to this place in 1993, had the best time on my trip of the USA from Australia, took me ages to find my hotel the Pioneer inn, got stuck at the rail crossing with some long train a thought I was never gonna get back to the hotel until the sun came up. Good memories.“

“Great food! The fish is super good!“
