Inside it was your typical small town tavern. They had a patio at the back. For happy hour they give you a pull tab. You might pay full price or as little as $0.25 for the round. They offered bottles of New Glarus Brewing, but mainly served domestic cans. We learned the business was named after the owner nicknamed Koolaid (now deceased). We also learned he passed far too young and was the nicest guy you'd ever have met. Linda (the bartender and cook) and Bruce (the bar-back and handyman) were a hoot.

I had a token and needed lunch so after a quick scan on Yelp, we decided to check out Ott Haus. And I was not disappointed. The building is cute and kinda small. It definitely had an older feel, kinda dive bar-ish but it was clean. They have bar seating, a handful of tables, and a beer garden area. It gets a little crowded pretty quickly so you may make some new friends if you share a table. The service was great and the owner was super nice. She answered questions and was very accommodating. They have New Glarus beer on tap, duh. But also domestics, cocktails, and soft drinks. I had a strawberry rhubarb beer from New Glarus and absolutely loved it. I also had a PBR which is my stand by. Based on the reviews, we had to try the cheese curds. They come with a dill ranch. They weren't greasy at all. They were lightly breaded and fried perfectly. The ranch was a tasty accompaniment. Highly recommend and would order again. For my entree, I ordered the Beer Cheese Bacon Burger: 1/2 pound burger cooked medium with beer cheese and bacon on a pretzel bun. This was probably my favorite meal of my Wisconsin vacation. The burger patty was delicious and seasoned well. The pretzel bun held everything together and paired perfectly with the creamy beer cheese sauce. The bacon was an added bonus. I opted for tater tots for a side and enjoyed dipping them in that extra beer cheese. This was seriously one of the best burgers I've eaten in a looooong time. It's probably good that I live 500 miles away because my waist line and wallet would take a beating. I highly recommend stopping in and grabbing a drink and food. I will be back the next time I'm in town.

My husband had cheese curds and chicken bacon ranch wrap with fries. The wrap was generous and chicken was tender and fried. I had the chicken salad sandwich with fries. I have not had a chicken salad sandwich in a very long time and was not disappointed. The chicken was chunky, complimented with sweet cranberries and served on wheat toast. The coziness, friendliness and food options gave off a small town feel. If in the area a good option for food.

Super friendly service serving food that tastes great! Started with the Frickles...crispy breaded pickle chips served with ranch...not greasy and cooked just right. I had a cup of their New Glarus chili which is made fresh daily with New Glarus beer loaded with beef,tomatoes,beans and spices. Topped with sour cream and local cheddar cheese. I skipped the diced onions. It was so good I wish I ordered a bowl! My wife had their homemade chicken salad sandwich on a gluten free bun (1.00 extra). The chicken salad had dried cranberries and pecans which made it super delicious. For a side she had their homemade bean salad. A great place to stop to try local beers and homemade food while enjoying the small town of New Glarus!

I talked to a couple of ladies at the bar who said I had to come back to eat there for dinner and that's exactly what I did! My husband and I had dinner at 5PM at the bar. I ordered the Stube Salad and he had the Wiener Schnitzel with red cabbage and warm German potato salad. The salad was a very generous portion and the dressing was sweet and delicious. The Wiener Schnitzel was delicious!!! I ate half of my husband's dinner and I loved the cabbage and potato salad. Everything was great! Service was also friendly. I'm looking forward to going back! Also to note: we left a jacket behind and had to leave early in the morning the next day before the restaurant opened. We live about 2 hours away and I called the restaurant and they have the jacket. We asked if we could send a Fed-Ex package with a return and have them mail it back to us, the owner agreed. We are really grateful for the kind service!

He thought a half of a sandwich sounded good and the prices were very reasonable. He ordered a few different types of meat in his. The sandwiches are a good size and come with chips and a pickle. I love the vibe of the place. Original murals and bar. High ceilings. You can almost imagine yourself there 100 years earlier. They had a fun story about looking at the ceiling and the dollar bills up there. The waitresses were so kind and helped my son try to toss his dollar bill up there. He was easily entertained for about 15 minutes. I'd come back!
