    Food menu

    This is a great spot if you are looking for a spot to relax and unwind during an afternoon or evening. Kids can run around on the included outdoor playground and there are plenty of chairs and tables for drinking and eating. The distillery makes all kinds of unique liquors so the drink menu is large and you can also sample the liquors if you intend to buy some bottles. The interior is obviously a renovated warehouse with mismatched furniture for indoor seating but the outdoor cocktail garden is the real gem. Food is basic (pizza, chicken tenders, chips and queso) but good. Will be back to revisit again soon!

    A nice watering hole. It was warm during the summer, but they provided an industrial fan to cool the inside. But the cold drinks made the difference. The menu has a variety of drinks. There are pop artworks displayed on the wall. This place is a great place to relax.

    Such a cute and cozy place. Loved the live music. The outdoor seating also looks like it was be a nice place to come and chill during the summer nights. I tried the Proud Mary with the spicy pepper vodka - love my Bloody Mary! I felt like the spicy pepper vodka complimented the drink very well. It came with all my favorite garnishes. Pickle, cheese, beef stick and more. 2nd drink was Jessica's Spicy Melons which was also really tasty! I like the Tajin on the rim & passion fruit puree. Thought it was refreshing with a kick. Hubby tried The Mistake - reminds me of a gin and tonic type drink. I think I would want a little more of the honey liquor and The TKO - the spicy pepper vodka was strong in here. Not sure I would get that one again.

    I recently attended a holiday party where we needed to bring a cocktail to share. I decided to showcase Doundrins Distillery in my Cottage Grove and wanted something simple and amazing. I asked the staff to prepare this cocktail and then proceeded to buy the ingredients to take to my party. M drink was an absolute hit!!! Most were surprised by the rum/vodka and cherry/lime/cucumber combo but it was a refreshing change from all the bourbons everyone else brought!!! My drink--thanks to Doundrins--stole the show!!! Everyone wanted one and I was so happy to showcase a local business in my community. If you have the chance--get yourself to this distillery and sample their amazing concoctions! They have a wonderful tasting room and outdoor cocktail garden and also offer fun events to experience this community. I'm obsessed with their Immature Brandy and love their honey liqueur!!!

    My husband and I visited Doundrins last weekend and were super impressed! The service was absolutely fantastic! Both bar tenders were very friendly and knowledgeable. They had great recommendations on drinks as well! They offer several unique cocktails and liquor fights. I tried the Be My Marmalady and Cheeky Devil and loved them both. They were the perfect ration of alcohol to mix ins and were super refreshing on a hot day. They also have a large patio area that even offers live music certain nights. They have a bunch of furniture on the patio as well so a bunch of people can fit. The only suggestion would be to have some umbrellas because it gets really hot on a sunny day. The patio also has a playground so it is kid friendly! Parking is great! There's a large parking lot with plenty of spots! I'd definitely recommend visiting. The tasting room is newer so they are still getting established. They need to organize some of the stuff inside and get some more covered areas for the patio but overall, It's off to a fantastic start! The drinks are delicious and the service is phenomenal. Go try it out!

    My wife and I first went to Doundrins in late 2019 and it was just starting out. You could tell they liked crafting cocktails just by talking to the bartenders. Had fun talking to the other friendly customers. It was very unfinished then but boy had it expanded since then. They now have a large outdoor area with seating and events and do sampling at various businesses. Daily drink specials! Liked them so much we put them on the Yelp business map.

    List of their spirits!

    Had a fantastic time hanging out here on a Saturday night on our way back to Milwaukee. Wanted to check out the distillery and try some of their spirits. They have an amazing menu of craft cocktails and they offer flights. After trying some of their cocktails we started sampling flights. They have quite a variety of spirits to try. The night we were there a band was going to be playing in their amazing outdoor space. There were food trucks to get food and many locals coming to watch the band. We enjoyed the time we were there. The staff and owners were fantastic to talk to. Highly recommended giving this place a try!

    My husband and I finally made time to come to Doundrins for a drink and enjoy their outdoor space! They feature live music and food trucks frequently. I tried the Doundrins Drule, which I liked a lot! My husband had a cherry themed cocktail (Cheeky...something..I cannot remember the name) and liked it too! Doundrins is a chill, hang out spot for a group or a couple of people to enjoy an afternoon cocktail. Also, this place is kid friendly with a playground near the back of the outdoor space. We would visit again to try more cocktails and bring some people along!

    I was recently at a Yelp event here, and I will be returning in the future. I was shocked at how strong the drinks were. I've never gone to a bar type establishment and had drinks that were stronger than I would mix for myself. I mean, that's really cool. Haha. Usually drinks are really watered down at other places, you have to probably order 6 drinks to get what you would get in one of the drinks here. And oh my gosh, the bartenders are so nice and cool! I wanted them to sit and hang out with us! But of course they had other people to serve. It won major points by me that the bathrooms weren't gendered. It's stressful for me, and I'm sure a lot of others, to be in public and have to decide where to go, and think about what's going to happen. Peeing shouldn't be stressful. It's not here. Hooray! Ingredients for their booze is locally sourced, as someone who cares about the environment, that's a big point winner for me! I didn't participate in the following conversation, but I had overheard that in the warmer months they do dog adoption events?? That's amazing. That's so amazing. What a cool place. Yay for Doundrins. Sometimes they have live music. There's plenty of parking. There's no smoking or vaping allowed on site.

    This is a really fun spot. I enjoyed the variety of drinks that they offered. I went in the wintertime, but I can tell they will have so much to offer in the summers. It looks like they have a very nice outdoor space. The drinks all were delicious but my favorite was the hopper. Can't wait to go back.

Yes, the wine is obviously good too with a selection for all preferences. I've been here a few times now, and it has quickly become one of my favorites. I cannot get over how good their food is! I've now tried every single flatbread on their menu, and they're all outstanding! Even their steak gorgonzola flatbread is incredible and I don't like steak! They also have the best spinach artichoke dip I've ever tasted, and they're served with these delightful warm pieces of pita bread... I'm pretty sure this stuff came right out of an oven. On my most recent visit, I actually ended up getting an Old Fashioned and my dining mate got a cosmo. Both were absolutely fantastic. The bartender even came over and said the last bit of the cosmo he made tasted like it was heavy on the lime and he offered to re-make it... I'd call that service to the hilt! There was no need to re-make the cosmo, however, as we both found it to be delicious. The bar also has some really great high end liquors and craft beer options. They also have NA options. So, while it is a fun wine bar where you get to self-service pour your own wine, don't let the name fool you -- this place has something for everyone. I've also come here with a friend who has a gluten allergy and they have gluten free bread for their delicious flatbreads. Overall this place is great for an intimate night out or a night out with the girls. They have plenty of seating and an upstairs area with games and such as well. There's an outdoor patio as well for when the weather cooperates. I cannot recommend this place enough!

    Atomic Koi Cocktail Lounge in Fitchburg, WI has potential to improve if they had the right staff! I…read morehave gone there on more than one occasion where their bartenders were rude, unprofessional, and ruined the overall experience. My husband still loves coming to Atomic Koi Cocktail Lounge because it's a laid back lounge away from the rowdier young local college students bar atmosphere that's still vibrant with an eclectic vibe with illuminated fish tanks and a fun cozy ambiance. The crowd is mostly young working professionals near the area mid 20s-30s on up that are looking to unwind and have fun with their family/friends. Atomic Koi is a fun lounge that has games like a giant Connect Four, a pool table, shuffle board, and darts. They also have a good diverse cocktail menu that has something satisfying for everyone from martinis, tropical drinks, mojitos, beer, and more. Recently, my husband suggested the Atomic Koi to show our friends and family from out of town a good time in the Madison area. I ordered a cocktail and the bartender claimed they didn't have the ingredients to make the drink which didn't bother me but I have gone to Atomic Koi more than once trying to order a cocktail on their menu and the bartenders claimed they were unable to make it or didn't have the ingredients or maybe they just didn't feel like making it like some of their ice cream drinks and it wasn't busy in the moment. I then ordered the Golden Colada which is a fun pineapple tropical flavored drink! If they are unable to make a specific drink but the drink is advertised on their menu they should be able to make it consistently if requested otherwise take it off the cocktail menu permanently because patrons expect to be able to order a specific drink if its on the menu. My husband, friends, and family were having a good time. A back corner nook opened up where some people left and we wanted to sit there as a group however there was super sticky drinks on the floor under the table nook. One of my family members asked one of the bartenders if she could please mop up the sticky floor or find another staff that could. The bartender was super rude to my family member and said she wasn't going to mop it up until closing time at 1am. Then my family member asked if she would at least get someone to pull the mop out from the back and he would mop it up himself and she refused. She should have politely told my family member "sorry I am unable to leave the bar area but I will find another staff to mop it up when they are able to" but it was her rude don't care entitled attitude which didn't leave a good impression on my family members from out of town. I went back up to the bar and spoke to a different bartender who wasn't busy tending the bar and told him the situation. He did fix the situation and mopped up the sticky floor when he was able to which I appreciated but he looked over it like he didn't really want to be there not really friendly. If Atomic Koi could consistently recruit/ retain more professional, trained, personable, friendly bartenders and actually follow through in making cocktails actually advertised in their cocktail menu , its a great spot to go to for a great drink and a fun place to unwind!

However, the vibe here was not comfortable and that's a huge part of a bar experience in my view. The booth we sat in was ackward height and the lighting was terrible inside. The sun was blasting in on one end and the other end was pitch black so it was just hard to see. I also couldn't tell what the decor and theme was supposed to be. One plus is that they did have a cute indoor electric fire which would be nice to sit by in cozy season. I would go back in the summer to sit on the outdoor patio and try an alcoholic ice cream drink! I do also wish they had food options... even just apps or to partner with a restaurant nearby to have their menu available for delivery to the bar. I've seen that at other bars before and appreciate that convenience.

Both were great, but many that coffee one?! Ooh I want one of those to start everyday! Husband and son both really liked theirs also. They were made right in front of us with fresh, homemade ingredients. The place itself was well lit and offered a lot of seating. There was a board game event going on while we were there. We just sat at the bar but would definitely go back for a game event. Awildan did not appear to offer food, but some other patrons brought in their own snacks which I like about a small place, especially during an event like the board game event. While sitting at the bar, we were able to chat with the owner. He shared his story as well as his plans for growth of the business. He works with other businesses in the area which is always great to hear. Shortly before we were ready to leave, a couple came in and didn't seem to really know what they wanted. The owner did a great job of describing the liquor options, making cocktail recommendations, and then ultimately went off menu to make cocktails they would like. Though I don't recommend doing this to a bartender, it was good to see he was willing to go off script to help make a couple's experience enjoyable. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!
