Reviews




Stopped here with my partner for a snack and a cocktail. We ordered the vegetarian Susan. It was a lot of food and we had some to take back home. The Wisconsin old-fashioned was delicious and they had a decent beer selection. The atmosphere was cozy and casual. The cost was reasonable. Would like to go back and try their fish fry next time.


A gem of a spot! This place is not only friendly but also offers great value for money. The cheese curds are an absolute must-try – they're delicious! The atmosphere is welcoming, and the service is top-notch. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this spot is worth a visit.

Good folks, good music. Clean taps as far as I can tell.



Great restaurant, good food, reasonable prices. I mean it was a Friday, so it was packed (20 min wait at 630pm). Server was quick and polite if a little soft spoken. Food came out in a reasonable time. I'll be back next time I'm in town.



It was a busy Saturday night but drinks and food came out quickly. The meat and fish Susan was incredible! I tried out the Applejack old fashioned and it was only okay, not my cup of tea, but they have a full bar and the other drinks excellent. Ordered the chili and prime rib.. Waaay too much food but oh so good! Highly recommend the Wisconsin Cheese Soup. 10/10








The place was so pretty 🤗 and the food…. AMAZING. They gave us a little dessert too! So yummy


Very cool atmosphere, i come here too often


Thank you that you use small cups soy sauce for to go order, it's better than bags. It's should be every sushi place 😋

They are in the old wasabi spot. This was my first time there. We got two orders of the sashimi lunch special and the three rolls special. The portion of the fish in all of our food was generous. The fish was fresh and tender. I was very impressed by how delicious the salmon was. The prices for lunch were quite reasonable. Would heartily recommend and will be going back.


I got the chicken biscuits & gravy. A new and better take on a chicken pot pie. Absolutely delicious, highly recommend. Fried curds were fantastic. Friendly staff. It does get crowded quickly, and is a bit too loud. Make reservations if you can

The vibe is classic Wisconsin dive. Very enjoyable. Was sitting right at the center of the bar and had to yell in order to get the attention of a bartender. It was not overly busy. Bartenders kept walking past our empty glasses and ignoring. Maybe they were having a bad night, but that was not our fault.




been there a couple of times the music nights are amazing,and the vibe💥 is amazing too.

Small restaurant in a great location. I think maybe it caters mostly to students and their families. The owners were very pleasant and worked extremely hard to make sure we enjoyed our meal, which was delicious!
I certainly would recommend this restaurant to anyone that is in downtown Madison and looking for sushi.

This is a great music venue for smaller events (2-300). We went for The Trouble Notes! Fantastic Band

This is a bit of a strange place. This is in the same building as 2 other bars. Kinda what makes it cool though as they can all three connect to an outside enclosed courtyard.
I think they do music there too.
The Noon is a place I have gone to see a lot of music. It's awesome looking in there. An upper lofted area give views of the stage and really the whole place.
They have booze... so you know... good times.

They always bring my favorite smaller artists, this is such a fun immersive club. Very good vibes.

The entrance is around the back, could use a sign or two for easier locating. Rad little place, perfect venue for small shows! Friendly servers, fast service! They have coffee, NA beers, regular and drafts on tap, plus tons of others.

Man. This bums me out to write and it’s not the review I would have left 5 years ago but the FPC Live-led enshittification of this place has really hit hard. I still think High Noon is one of the best venues in town - perfect size, cool space. But the metal detectors at the door, the heavily reduced seating including NONE at the bar, the Ticketmaster, the increasingly sad beer list - it’s just way less welcoming and the vibes are very different from the venue I loved when I moved here a decade ago. I wouldn’t tell anyone not to come here, but I would say if it’s been a while and you have fond memories to set your expectations accordingly.


Great hole-in-the-wall small venue - I love finding these! Saw Mustard Plug with some great openers tonight. Took me a bit to realize the entrance was in the back, but that's my own problem being a new guy around here, haha. Awesome time!






The Old Fashioned is a very very popular place, and can take a party quite a while to find seats on a busy night. Luckily, the bar seating is a free for all and you can find accommodations much quicker there. The cheese curds are indeed cheesy, and the double brat sandwich had tasty bratwursts, though quickly turned into a fork and knife situation when the roll gave up the struggle holding the sausages in. The muddled old fashions and a cherry cordial were both made well.

My Pork Buns were tasty. Nice presentation too. Sadly, my birthday coupon expired on 10-31 and it's 11-2. I was not in Madison for a while since I live in Mount Horeb WI. Oh well. Today was a nice day. Great service and the hostess was super nice.







We had a great time on the sushi belt tonight. The kids ate from the belt, we ate from the menu. (It is kid friendly) The kids crushed 18 plates from the conveyor and had a really go time. Our servers were attentive and fun, overall we had a really great time. Parking is ample and easy, we parked close

Paid to get in, bought several drinks , stood there for 4 hours for the main act once in a lifetime person for me & left to get food quick. My ticket specifically said 21 can re enter and I was denied re entry. Never got to see the act and all that for nothing :(
Update - almost 2 weeks after receiving an email, I haven’t heard any explanation. Im assuming it’s because I didn’t reply/agree to delete my review while they *investigated* my complaint. While I understand there’s legal reasons that could’ve prevented my re-entry - none could’ve applied to my scenario. It couldn’t have been capacity as people were still coming in and out. I was sober and didn’t purchase 1 alcoholic drink, and I was alone so there couldn’t have been me or anyone with me causing any issues / disturbances. The simple fact is the bouncer person said “we don’t do reentry” when I showed him my 21+ bracelet. They made a mistake and that’s all there is to it. Just really bummed overall and with how it was handled.

On a Saturday there was an estimated 1 hour wait but it took 1.5 hours. The food was pretty good, but it's over hyped I would say. The burger did taste really good also I would suggest it! But the fries could for sure use an upgrade compared to others in the area. Worth a check out!


I ordered the spicy salmon poke. It was served promptly and is probably one of the best bowls ive had. However, the serving size was a bit small and was not super cheap.

The food and service was alright, could have been better. They played old Indian songs, which was nice. The lamb curry tasted great. However, the naan was a bit dry and hard. So, there's room for improvement.


The food was good, but there are better Indian places in Madison. However, the location is very central, so if you are in the downtown area, it is a good pick for Indian cuisine. The outdoor seating area was nice, and the waitress and other employees were pleasant.


I saw Gereth Emery concert with some friends. Paid extra for the vip area. Thanks to Ben, the general manager, for all the help/information. Well worth it for a little more space and quick access to the bar. Table service was offered, but necessary for our small group. The concert was great and so was the venue! Definitely will be back.



First time at High Noon Saloon went here to see Steve N Seagulls and it was great its a nice intimate place it was full standing room only including the seats at the bar and tables and chairs in a small balcony area it was packed but there was still room if you wanted to get to the bar for another round which many did im sure as they have a great selection of adult beverages. In regards to the drinks which for us was a pepsi and 16oz. beer it was 11.61 which is a little pricey however for what we paid to see Steve N Seagulls and for the atmosphere I will not complain. I had read some comments about some employees not being friendly I found that not to be the case the 4 different ones that we had contact with were nothing but helpful and friendly. When they have someone else we want to see we will be back if you like an intimate setting to listen to some music and have an adult beverage and be with people it's a great joint.







one of a kind sushi restaurant!!! has an ayce special that I’ve tried (and it was amazing) but I wanted to order off the menu. I loved the variety of different fresh sashimis.. it was beautifully presented. My family members ordered some of their teriyaki dinners hibachi combos, which were the “best they’ve ever had”. We also ordered some rolls which were sooo amazing and flavorful. Will definitely be coming back :)













On a warm and sunny Labor Day in Madison, my family and I were searching for a restaurant for lunch, and that's when we stumbled upon Maharani.
It was a Monday, so there was no buffet available, but we decided to order some dishes from their menu. We opted for a variety: samosa chat, fragrant basmati rice, buttery naan, flavorful dal tadka, creamy sahi paneer, and a comforting tomato soup.
The moment we entered the restaurant, we were greeted with a warm welcome, and they promptly seated us at a clean and inviting table. To quench our thirst, they served us chilled water along with crispy papad, complemented by delightful tamarind and mint chutneys.
The food didn't keep us waiting for long and arrived promptly. Each dish was not only fresh but also served piping hot. The samosa chat stole the show with its perfect balance of spices, a touch of sourness, and a medley of flavors. The sahi paneer was a creamy delight, the naan bread was soft and comforting, and the dal tadka was a flavorful treat. What stood out was that the dishes weren't overloaded with spices, making the entire meal easy on the palate.
Throughout our meal, our attentive server frequently checked on us, ensuring we had everything we needed. When we requested green chili and sliced onion, they promptly fulfilled our request.
The excellent customer service, delectable food, and the serene and hygienic ambiance made our dining experience truly remarkable. It was a memorable lunch outing that left us thoroughly satisfied and content.

Yume Sushi is my go-to take out spot for decently priced sushi. It never disappoints and every time I try something new it becomes a favorite. I usually get the Dragon roll and Spicy tuna, but I always consider their specials as you might stumble upon something absolutely delicious. I dined with a friend the other day and service was attentive and considerate. If you’re looking for quality sushi for a reasonable price, Yume is your place.




Every time go to Takara sushi station with friends, we try different food, each time was surprising me, it’s amazing food. Also, servers are so nice. We are enjoying and want to coming back again.





Our food, waitress and atmosphere was very good. The total cost of the evening was pricey.








Tavernakaya is as fresh and authentic Japanese one can get in Madison. The best seats are up front with views of the Capitol Square. The location is stellar as well as seating options with high and low top tables. The service and staff here are friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu items.
Appetizers, bowls, rolls and soups are well thought and organized for easy ordering. We came in at open and had the best service. Our order took less than ten minutes and was well presented.
The cuts of fish were tasty and delightful. Must try the Salmon poke bowl with added spice. The Pork buns and Unagi sashimi were the table favorites with plenty of bites to share. The spicy tuna roll, popcorn chicken and Yellowtail tuna sashimi made a run for our top spot.
This is a great lunch, date or dinner spot with great sound and kitchen prep. times. Tavernakaya gets a Bonus star for having New Glarus Spotted Cow on draft. Definitely a place to eat and take in the square. We'll return soon to Tavernakaya for Happy Hour.

I ordered butter chicken, assorted plate of fish, chicken, lamb, and veggie curry. Food was disappointing. The assorted plate was $12 and has so little food, like 3 pieces small pieces of each and tasted absolutely mid. Butter chicken and curry was ok but for the price it was not worth it for me.


Great service from our bartender. Good beer list and excellent whiskey/ bourbon options. I love the pin ball machines here!

Great club house, good food selection and great service



This was my first time trying Indian food and it was amazing here. We ordered garlic naan,
Chicken Tikka Masala, Beef Curry, and Chicken Tandoori. I enjoyed all of the dishes but I highly recommend the tikka masala and garlic naan. The chicken was very flavorful and cooked well. The garlic naan was fluffy and also very flavorful too. Each entree is pretty big so three entrees fed four of us with leftovers.
The service was good and our waitress was very sweet. Will definitely come again!

The food was very bland for being Laotian food. This restaurant is very Americanized. It's really lacking the laotian authentic flavors. My sister got the beef larp and it was too salty. The red curry was lacking flavor and bland. The chicken and papaya was also bland. I'm really particular with my papaya. It was missing crab paste, tamarind, and lime. It was also too sweet. The deep fried chick was too dry. My husband ordered the laotian sausage which was also very dry. The only good tasting food was their specialty chicken wings with sweet chili sauce. The service was very slow. We came right before the rush hour during dinner and were still waiting longer then expected for our food. It took us 45-50 mins to get all of our food. If you want true authentic food laotian food go to Ahan. The quality and the quantity is much better. The dishes here were small portions for the price of food you're paying for. I'm honestly very disappointed 😞 bc I really love authentic Laotian food.



We ordered the Fish Masala and Mango Chicken, which were quite good! They are gentle on the spicy level, we ordered hot but it was not very spicy. This can be a good or bad thing. The garlic Naan was fantastic as well. However the onion kulcha had quite dense bread and the onion is diced and not very prominent. I would stick with the garlic naan.
Service was fine, but a bit short in responses and got confused which bill was ours, nothing unforgivable.

Cool venue. Good lights and sound. The crowd had a good vibe. Saw a good headliner there. The openers, which I assume were local, were good at getting the crowd warm.
For some reason they don't let you open a tab though which was weird?

After an year since I've been in US, I went to this restaurant to have an amazing food.
I'm a vegetarian and I asked for panner biriyani which wasn't on menu, fortunately the cook made it separately for me. I appreciate the cook and staff for accepting my request.
After a week again, I tried chef special naan with paneer tikka masala which takes me to my home back for that time.

Liquid is a place where you can go and always feel you are a part of a community. The staff is amazing, the drinks are great (try Caleb’s craft cocktails!) and the best part is it gives you that intimate club vibe while booking out large national acts you would have to travel far and wide to typically see, right in the heart of beloved downtown Madison. This venue brings in amazing local talent to boot and it’s always great vibes. I would always recommend this venue to anyone.







Enjoyed a quick round. We’ll manicured and beautiful course. Staff was very courteous and pleasant.





I enjoy this spot, the decor and atmosphere is chic and pleasant. I did a take out order from the menu, got two of the Chefs Special rolls that were delicious! The vegetable tempura was ok. The server was prompt and friendly.


I've been here a few times. It's a tad bit pricey but what isn't these days. Today I ordered the salmon poke for lunch and it was very good. Drinks are usually good and they also make buns. Overall it's a pretty good restaurant, give it a try.
Update 7/26/23
Tried the General Tso chicken for lunch. It was kind of funky tasting. There were no pineapples but they did have orange peel in it. The orange peel was charred and I feel like that may have given the dish some bitterness. Definitely wouldn't get it again.

The UpNorth bar is its own special experience. Depending on the person this may be a great or terrible place to visit. It's a local watering hole. Nothing super special about it. If you know the local crowd who frequents this establishment you'll like it. If you don't, and have no interest in that.. don't come here. It's usually young dumb men. With that said.. its a good bar and can be fun. Service is resonable. They have two pinball machines! Outdoor seating available. Next to two other madison classic establishments.

I love Yume Sushi's regular menu selections as well as their a la carte. This place has always provided excellent food and service for me. They use quality ingredients. Chefs are knowledgeable and skilled. The thing that I don't like is having to walk up that stairwell that smells of urine just to get into the place.




It’s not my first time being here but it is my first review. The staff here are truly amazing and so accommodating. It truly is a beautiful space to host live music events. Large enough to hold a big crowd but intimate enough to still be up close and personal. I truly enjoyed working in this space and hope to be back soon. FYI this venue is cashless so they cannot accept cash at the bar or for ticket sales.

The club presents itself in a very classy manner and I have performed there on many occasions and the sound and lighting crew has always been great!! Hats off to this venue! Very well run, feels safe for everyone at all times 💯










Tavernaka in downtown Madison has good lunch and dinner options. Plus, DJs on the weekends! This is the miso salmon bento box. They also have delicious tempura cheese curds!
Restaurant Week at Tavernakaya. Three cup chicken, pork belly bun and tempura cheesecurds! Yum! 😋

Five stars for the delicious food and great service. I really love deep-fried chicken that came with papaya salad.







Great place. Cool tapper ceiling.





I've never had Laotian food before but I expected it to be similar to Thai, and it was. The food is very good and there's a pretty wide variety of options. The stuffed chicken wings are my favorite thing that I had, so I definitely recommend that. The curries are all good too. My only complaint is how dark it was in there. Close to when we were leaving they turned on the lights for the dinner service, but it would have been nice to have that for our early dinner too






Amazing spot. Delicious Laos cuisine. Reminds me a little of Cambodian food. Great service and great sticky rice!

Good bar but I gotta shoutout to whoever works there that thinks it’s acceptable to be putting his hands on people in a threatening manner on an almost daily basis the past few days I’ve been in. Sure hope nobody contacts the police to press charges.

typical college bar but nicer than most



I feel like Loa Laan Xang doesn't get mentioned enough in the Madison food scene for how great the food is. We went on a Friday night withoutna reservation and only waited maybe 10-15 minutes to be seated. Our waitress was very friendly and the service was prompt.
The crab rangoons are very easily the best I've ever had. We ordered the squash curry and the mixed vegetable curry-- both were great but we liked the mixed vegetable curry a little more

Great music not expensive drinks what else do you need

Monday's is a great atmosphere for people who enjoy up close and personal interactions; It's always packed in a good way. The only downside is I lost my ID in there and no one answered when I called (three times) the following week.

I entered this place with friends & left within 30 seconds. The whole joint had the most putrid smell of urine, vomit, and alcoholic exhales. There must have been zero ventilation. It was disgusting.









First time going with my partner and we loved the food and atmosphere. We swear they knew what we were ordering because the appetizers, drinks and food came out so fast and fresh. The staff were fast and attentive as well. Great date night and we want to go back for the live music.














Taverna/Umami was a great restaurant experience! Wonderful food, nice atmosphere, good service.
I had the tonkotsu ramen with pork belly, marinated bamboo shoots, braised pork, nori, and an extra tea egg. The broth was to die for, the pork melted in my mouth, the egg was an umami explosion, and THE NOODLES! Oh the noodles…outstanding, tender but with “tooth” …tender but not mushy…a perfect noodle!
Salmon Poké bowl was out of this world too! I added the jalapeño heat up…just the right heat to enhance the great flavors and fresh lovely salmon! A home run for sure!
Others in my group had sushi, house salad, and pork buns…All delicious delicious delicious!
For dessert we tried the tempura cheese cake…sounds odd…but “Omg delicious “ for sure.
I also had the junmai ginjo Bride of the Fox sake. I’ve never had a sake as lovely and smooth as this. So delicious!
It was a great night and we’ll be back for sure!
I wish they took reservations instead of FCFS, but everything was worth the wait!

Food was amazing and service was pretty reasonable for a busy Friday dinner, despite being a quite remarkably loud environment. A bit pricey, but so tasty!

I ordered the Yume Roll for dine in. It was very good. Customer service was good as well :) highly recommend if you love sushi. It can be a tad bit on the pricier side though.




Lao Laan Xaang was amazing Laotian experience. The inside is beautifully decorated. The wait staff was fun and friendly. We had the special of the day, the OrLam beef stew. It was perfect for the negatives day we had today!! They served the dish to share — so nice!! — and with extra spice mix on the side for me (my wife doesn’t need the burn!) The iced Thai tea was some of the best we’ve ever had. They’re also very well known for their takeout, but we ate in. The waiter also mentioned when we were chatting that the cooks are Laotian natives, and so you have even more assurance of authenticity, and even more incentive to support this small restaurant. We DEFINITELY recommend this place for the food and atmosphere!

Sorry but the bouncers isn’t nice but love the bartenders. I got pushed into a crowd and had a drink spilled on me and some guys said he worked there and I told him cool but it’s rude to push someone and then I guess he told his friends at the door that was working to get me out. I never had that happen before but oh well. Love the bar scene but bouncer aren’t friendly.

The people who work there are unprofessional and rude(bartenders are nice tho). I was shoved by an employee (that was off) and when I told them to say excuse me, they said idc, that they worked there, and when me and my friends tried to tell them that they are being rude, they proceeded to go to the bouncer and told them to kick us out. Went to other bars after and enjoyed those bars better. Will never go again!!

Some dude started shoving my girl friend and being disrespectful. He was very vugal to her I backed her up to protect her and then we found out the dude worked there, it was his night off and he had the bouncer kick us out. Worst bar I have ever been too. I have never had my girls kicked out of a bar. I am a bartender and this bar doesn't even deserve one star

Unfriendly bartenders


I really like this place. It’s kind of a hidden bar as the entrance is a bit inconspicuous and you have to walk down a set of stairs to get inside. Good prices. Good service.




Small venue but it provides a comfortable environment due to the lack of overcrowding and has multiple bars. The upstairs loft area is great for if you'd like a better view with seating.







Absolutely terrible!! Read all the reviews before you go PLEASE!!!! My dinner is absolutely ruined.
I’m absolutely devastated because of the quality of the sushi and the price. You will also be charged mandatory 18% service fee and you will see the items in the pictures allover the belt. Sesame balls, spring rolls, generic cheap cakes and pot stickers all you can eat! They are trying to fill you with absolutely junk instead of sushi that’s even worth half of you pay for ($37 after tax and mandatory tips). People need to work for 3 hours just to be able to afford this so make wise decision please.

Sad that they don't do food anymore, but this is one of the few places on State that isn't overrun by students (except for Thurs-Sat after like 9). Always have good beers on tap, and they make a good cocktail, whatever your fancy. Also Kevin is basically the coolest guy ever. What more could you want?










Unique and tasty experience! Great variety of options on the conveyor. Rolls, sashimi, hot pot stickers, spring rolls, Rangoon, and an occasional piece of cake. You're at the mercy of those that sit closer to the kitchen however... We got unlucky had had an inconsiderate group ahead of us at one point who took everything and left the conveyor empty. We did wait for drink refills for longer than I'd have liked. Other than that we enjoyed ourselves. Great atmosphere and decor. We'll be back!

I just turned 15 and this is my favorite place to grab a beer

This place is the coolest! Underground bar with low ceilings, great music, and dope people. The vibe was impeccable, I’ll def be making myself a regular at City Bar

Had high hopes for this course but was thoroughly let down. I've never seen a place with 3 HUMONGOUS signs saying no coolers/outside bottles and no liquor. The course itself was fairly difficult as a bad shot will leave you in 5 ft grass. The other big issue is how wet the course is. Every shot was a plug shot. It was like playing on a sponge. I will probably never play this course again.





This was one of the most amazing sushi experience I have ever had! The AYCE deal was definitely worth it for the various types of sushi rolls that were put out. There were appetizers and even desserts on the belt!!! I also enjoyed the nice atmosphere and the friendly staffs. They really made sure that we were satisfied and happy which is a plus for me. This restaurant will definitely be one of my favorite sushi spots to go to now. No complaints at all!

The Bridges is a nice course. The fairways are fairly wide, but an errant drive will cost due to tall native grasses. The course is in good shape generally; greens are very good. They have a very nice clubhouse. Good selection of beers on tap.







Went there for the first time last night celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. Food was amazing. They offer 4 levels of spiciness. I went with 3 and it was perfect. The iced Thai Coffee and Tea is amazing. The service was top notch. Nice atmosphere inside. Seating is spaced out where you don't feel cramped or feel like you're sharing a meal with strangers sitting next to you. Can't say enough good things about this place. I'll let the pictures do the talking.







The food at this place is amazing! We got the vegetarian appetizer platter and the chicken 65. It was all perfectly cooked and the flavors are exceptional! We got the dinner for two combination platter with buttered chicken curry, buttered lamb curry, and chicken curry. It came with nan bread and rice and a dessert. For dessert we got the fried sweet cottage cheese balls. It was worth every penny. I totally recommend trying this place. The service was fantastic and the food extraordinary!

Before I MET MY HUSBAND HERE, I loved coming to Monday’s to pregame because the drinks are strong. Dumdum lollipops, popcorn, twinkling lights, and darts are what’s up here. Love the vibes. The owner is so sweet and willing to make fun shots, ask for the water moccasin. Best bar on state street hands down. Would recommend.









Nice sushi place in cool area...
Miso soup is good I try many place they always too salty for me but this place is not.
Sushi is good..ramen is a little bit taste less for me tempura is good.
They floor is sticky...but over all is clean.
Staff is ok...price is ok..portion is ok.

Great bar with friendly staff, live music, and ample outdoor seating. Majeska Monday on the first Monday of each month is always a great time! 2 mixed drinks here have the same whammy of 3 drinks elsewhere. Great value@

Played the back 9. Tee boxes, rough, and greens were plush and excellent. Fairways a little spotty. Course winds through native vegetation so you need to keep the ball between the cart paths to enjoy your round. Not for beginners. I enjoyed it very much.




Amazing! Everything from the rolls to the sashimi were fresh and delicious. The server was friendly and prompt. I will definitely be coming back!

Course is in great shape. Played the front nine on a Thursday late afternoon in April and it was wonderful! No beer cart, but they we advertising a beer special in which we partook. Light usage so far this year and, like I mentioned in the title, the greens and fairways were in mid season form. Would not hesitate to return.




Cool, spot plays live concerts on big screen, nice beer selection and comfortable crowd. Lots of parking in the back too, and shares space with other venues!



A fun little track near the airport. Fair course that isn't overly difficult. Be aware..it does have lots of standing water a few days after a big rain storm.



Excellent fish fry! Did takeout last friday and it was delicious.

This place plays for keeps. You get hit with a pretty vibrant musk when you first walk in, you’ll either love this or hate it but for me, it lets me know I’m at home. A solid dive bar that is very chill. Can get pretty packed later in the evening with college kids but prior to the busy hours, it’s an awesome place to grab a solid drink for cheap and shoot darts. Great if you’re walking along State and feel the need to start the festivities.


Legitimate "Up North" ambiance, reminds me of Eagle River. Live music Monday-Friday is a great way to see some local acts. Great drink prices!
