It's reopened but the menu online is not the menu at the restaurant . No entrees. Just sandwiches, pizza and appetizers. You order at the window and they bring the food to your table. We waited 40 minutes for a burger and chicken sandwich. They are severely understaffed. The bartender was also out parking golf carts. I had a boss once who said " you can't save your way to prosperity ." It appears that's what they're trying to do at Bunkers. We won't be back, sadly

Malarkey's was a fun lunch stop for my son and me recently. I couldn't believe how good my Guinness…read morefish and chips were. So flavor-packed and not too greasy. The place is dog-friendly (we ate in the bar, not the dining section). My son was super impressed with his burger. He claimed it was delicious, though it's certainly messy! The beer selection is impressive, and our server checked all the boxes with her friendly approach. The packer game was on, and I have to admit, the sound in the bar is not the greatest for hearing the game at a high quality. Likely the high ceilings are to blame, so no fault of the establishment. But it wouldn't be a place I'd go to watch a game.

Fruit flies in the air suggest something hasn't been cleaned right in months. The Bar top is in horrible condition looks like something they pulled from the dump and recycled it.

What kind of bar doesn't have a system to open tabs????? That is what drives the industry people will generally drink more. Which obviously means more money for the business. Who ever runs this places needs a clue. And a cleaning staff.

The Whitewater Music Hall seems to be an old Masonic lodge that has been transformed into a…read moremulti-purpose community center and music venue. In addition to the main hall there is a nice cafe room with places to sit and relax while enjoying beverages from coffee to mixed drinks that can be purchased from the bar. It was the perfect place for Wausau's 2020 Martin Luther King Day event. The main hall provided ample room for the the program which included a band, an awards presentation and the featured speaker. I'm sure that the hall is a suitable venue for concerts and other events as well. The buffet line for the catered meal was in the corridor outside of the main hall which was not ideal (though probably necessary) -- it was quite crowded when everyone was getting their food and the congestion was exacerbated with others coming and going from the main hall to the cafe etc.. The number of tables in the main hall was insufficient for the number of attendees. We, along with many others had to balance dinner plates on our laps and set our drinks on the floor while eating. I'm not sure whether the responsibility for this falls on the event planners or the hall management but it was a definite negative for me. A few other things -- positive and negative. There is a nice display of artwork from local artists displayed on the walls. Even while the MLK event was going on there at least one other small group conducting a meeting in another area of the building. Parking was limited and the cars were parked rather haphazardly (and the ice and snow of January certainly doesn't make parking easy either). We needed to park across the street -- fortunately the county offices located there are closed in the evening.

I've seen many shows here and have enjoyed them all, except that the last two shows I have had the disappointing experience of persons having a full on conversation right behind me. I get that people will talk, but nonstop, throughout a performance, with the doors to the concert hall mere feet behind us? Even worse, each of these times one of the venue owners has been a discussion participant. Again, never not had a great time and the talent is top notch. I'd recommend the owners entertain their friends outside of the room (and perhaps the sound tech turn down the bass).

Hey Porter. Beer.
