    Great ambiance, fun games, patio seating, friendly servers. Reminded me of Jack's bar from the series Virgin River.

    A great little spot that defines what the north woods is all about! Nothing fancy or special, but stiff drinks, cold beer and real people!

    A casual, no frills Irish themed pub in the great North woods. It works…read more Recently, six of us staying at a nearby cabin stopped in for a weekday lunch. An interior with an abundance of green and an assortment of items from the Emerald Isle might not prompt one to shout "Erin go Bragh!" But it does seem to be a heartfelt, agreeable homage to the old country. We found a space for six in the back and were promptly greeted by a cheerful server who took our drink orders leaving us to peruse the menu. I chose the Reuben (side of chips) and added a cup of mushroom soup. Others opted for the hot ham & cheese (x2), BLT (x2) and a bowl of chili. My sandwich on marble rye was excellent. A generous amount of lean, tender, flavorful corned beef with ample kraut and just the right amount of dressing. The homemade chips were a bit bland and half were limp and greasy. To be fair, those that were properly fried to which a dash of salt was added were quite good. The soup was outstanding. Chock-o-block with chewy, earthy mushrooms in a savory broth with a hint of Guinness. I wished I'd ordered a bowl. Everyone else was more than happy with their choices. Prices are much lower than one would pay for food of this quality and quantity in Minneapolis or Chicago. A very solid choice for dining in this neck of the woods.

    Rudest owners, you could possibly find. Completely unprofessional and acting like the customer owes…read morethem a favor. When are these clowns up in this area of Northern Wisconsin going to get their act together don't go here. Mayonnaise is much more professional. Maggie's is much more professional. These characters should never have been allowed to rebuild after their previous establishment burned down.
