    Decided to come here once I crossed over into WI for dinner. I had two New Glarus tokens for free…read morebeers at this bar, and it had decent reviews. The place was packed for a Thursday night, and, movie-esque, when PIC and I entered, all eyes were on us. (We WERE wearing flannel, but not locals.) Apparently most were there for a birthday party. However, soon all patrons were welcoming and chatty with us. There was only one bartender/server/busser who was busting his butt doing triple duty. He was friendly and quick (as he could be) to take orders and refills. The curds were terrific! Warmy and gooey, with a panko-crust. Spotted Cow on draft, in throwback commercial pint glasses. Reuben was spot on except needed more meat!! Unfortunately, bartender didn't honor free New Glarus tokens. Wah wah wahhhhh. FYI. Prices were cheap enough though, and I didn't make a fuss. Fun locals, good food, would return!

    It's my local! We moved to Belleville August of 2021, and I adore this place. Was made welcome…read morealmost immediately. Great food, great people. I strongly suggest any of the burgers, the Reuben when it's 'in season' (starts at St Patrick's day, goes til they're tired of making it), Thursday night nachos, Wednesday s'ghetti. Biscuits and Gravy that can make a Southerner cry (happily)! They don't take cards, but there's an ATM in the corner. Lots of alcohol choices to boot.

Everything about the place is unique and welcoming, from the regulars, to the dog Lucy, and especially Pat the owner and bartender. All made us feel welcome, even if we were first-timer tourists. The atmosphere is exceedingly unique and cool, with many personal touches all around the place. Lots of Blatz beer memorabilia, brand new shuffleboard table, a giant elk, moose antlers, vintage skis, an Elvis clock, cobalt glass bottles, a handmade bar, and lots more eclectic decor. The beer selection was top notch, and even better taps than we found in New Glarus, where everything seems to be New Glarus beer all the time (nothing wrong with that). Really good focus on local and regional brewers, there were taps from Titletown, Common Thread, Hop Garden (Belleville), Lena, Vintage, Central Waters, Summit, and Hinterland. New Glarus Berliner Weisse in the cooler, along with old standbys and unique craft beers. Another plus is that they update the beer list on beermenus. If beer isn't your thing, they also had an impressive selection of over 40 whiskeys. We didn't think they served food here, but lucked out since there was a Saturday special of homemade pork/chicken gumbo, which was served with homemade cornbread and bourbon butter. It was really tasty. The owner used to be a chef and ran a restaurant here prior to opening the Ale House. Our bill for two beers, gumbo and a big pretzel was $16, that's cheap for such high quality. They are only open 3 days a week, and it's just one guy running the show. If you are traveling a distance or bringing a group it would be wise to call ahead. The one-star reviews here reflect more on shortsighted personal entitlement than the establishment, from my experience.

If you come alone you won't be without a friend for long. Everyone in the bar is happy to join in a conversation. The drinks are strong and cheap but the food Petey makes is SO good. One of the best bar burgers I've had, but I have to say there isn't a thing on the menu I didn't thoroughly enjoy. Always try the specials. You can't go wrong.

Place was clean.. I saw they had a homemade Chilli on a menu I found on the Web but when I got there not so much and the menu was quite small... so I had to change my way... you could assemble a burger so I picked my cheese, bacon and toppings... they must fry in peanut oil also cause I always had the flavor lingering after each bite.... Set that aside and their burger is quite good.. they didnt have fries this day and no jalapeño which is an option... for their burger .. I used Texas toast so that was a new and pretty good.... Love the small bar atmosphere... the bar tender was working hard cause seats were full at 3pm on a Sunday can't imagine how crowded this place could get... I do like this place and will stop in again cause drinks are stiff and at a great price... check it out !!
