I came here at 8:30 on a Friday night (a few weeks ago), and we were literally the only people there, which was probably a bad sign. The service was ok, it started out great, the waitress had some good suggestions and did a wonderful job… at first, then someone else showed up and she was spending too much time flirting to pay attention here. Regardless, the drinks were delicious, the food, even with the meat variety, left us all wanting more. I wouldn’t be surprised i they were still in a year. A great concept, but it was missing something (beyond more customers)

The atmosphere is clean, chill and inviting! Got the pretzel bites appetizer n it was super tasty with the spicy cheese sauce. Awesome happy hour that goes from 5 to 8, bogo rail drinks & tap beers, 3 dolla cherry bombs and mystery shots, 3 dolla domestic beers and 25% off apps! The bartenders are cute and friendly & love playing bar dice! Will come again!

Was looking for a place with good bar food, got so much more. Has big game meals, bison, elk, ostrich, very good! Also has traditional burgers and chicken. The apps are delicious some of the best cheese curds I’ve had in awhile. The owner, Sergio introduced himself. Let us know everything they buy is Wisconsin grown. Legit. Highly recommend a visit.

By far my new favorite bar! My friends and I had sooo much fun at the grand opening. Lively atmosphere, huge crowd, great music, and they had a special with $ 1 apps and $ 1 tap miller lites. I ordered this huge delicious burger with tator tots on the side. I’m excited to try more from their menu. The owner is pretty dang sexy too !

Being a new bar, I had been skeptical of the place. However, my friend and I decided to come here to grab a drink and give it a shot– I certainly don’t regret it. We ended up staying for almost two hours. Our bartender Chelsea was fast, attentive and super friendly. The décor looked modern and clean, but it still felt warm and welcoming. They’ve also got plenty of TV’s which will definitely make this one of my haunts when Brewers season gets going.

so i walk into the bar, and i see seven of the baddest women alive-​not including the bartenders-​who are so smoking hot it made my stomach upset. after, i danced profusely to the tunes provided by the banging stereo system, and ordered food tht could change religion, i played a game of darts tht ended in a joyous civil war. Honestly though, Id donate my soul to this bar. It calls for perfection and real solitude. If you dont like this place, youre most likely a loser or a useless whore bag. either way? kick rocks.

Went here last night and it sucked. We honestly only stayed like 10 minutes. it was small and crowded and they had a band playing that was just way too loud. All of the drinks were being served in plastic cups and the floor was sticky. Also, the lighting was awful, it felt like you were in a crappy basement at a not fun house party. Someone said it was opening night too, if that’s the case that does not give me a good outlook for this place since you should be at your best on opening night and obviously that’s not the impression I got.
