Pretty disappointing experience. The bar and kitchen are advertised as being open until 11 PM. We…read morearrived with a group of 8 people ready to eat and have drinks. We were told the kitchen had closed early, which honestly wasn't a huge deal--we understood and decided to stay and have drinks anyway. What was frustrating was that by 9:30 PM, while all 8 of us were still there drinking and spending money, the staff started making comments about how they were closing and we could only get one more drink. If you advertise that your bar is open until 11 PM(sign outside even says bowling is open until 11), customers shouldn't be made to feel unwelcome an hour and a half before closing, especially when you have a group of paying customers. Also minimum of 8 more people came in and got turned away for a drink. I completely understand closing early if business is dead, but when you have 8 people sitting there actively ordering drinks, it's pretty disappointing to feel like you're an inconvenience. We would have happily stayed, continued ordering, and tipped well. Unfortunately, the experience made us feel like our business wasn't wanted.

Pizza is always really good but one of the bartenders was extremely rude to my group and I.

He was acting as if we inconvenienced him by asking for our check. He was so incredibly rude and dismissive. If the business owner reads these you can check the recording for 8/15 around 6:30 pm to see the interaction. By the end of the discussion he tries to make himself the victim.

It was really late, and we were staying at the fine Hotel across the street. Hungry and moreover,…read morein the mood for a nightcap; finding nothing else open for business, we piled into this place, expecting nothing at all. It's a bowling alley bar, in far North central Wisconsin. No frills, no atmosphere, and swelling with the sad vibes of being some of the onliest people in the place besides the staff VERY close to closing time. We had just played a sold-out show at a wonderful Arts Center in Minocqua, so we were not bereft of self-esteem, we were just hungry and thirsty. Well. Cocktails first-being in Wisco, I had to order a Brandy Old Fashioned. It came in a generous plastic cup, the same size as my wife's Diet Coke. It was well-made. Goal #1 achieved. We learned, gratefully, the kitchen was "still open" The menu was a bit surprising. It didn't look like a typical "Bowling Alley Bar" menu. I ordered a "Patty Melt"-not my usual order, but the menu claimed it would come on rye bread with Wisco Cheese. Wife ordered Burger and Fries, and our pal Max ordered "Shrimp"--thinking it would be the typical frozen crap one would expect at a bowling alley bar near midnight. Well. The "Melt" and Burger were delicious, the Fries were excellent, and the Shrimp were nicely steamed and very fresh. WHAAAAAAAA? I was sober, folks. and not THAT hungry to mistake mediocre for anything else. Somebody had some pride in that kitchen. Although they locked the doors, they didn't throw us out. A cocktail or two more and a fine nightcap was had by all. Kudos to Morgan the Bartender, who appeared like a droll Gen Z'er, but turned out to be most pleasant. We were encouraged to see her doing cleanup most enthusiastically--told us a lot about why the experience there was so enjoyable. They care...You find that a lot in Wisconsin Restaurants.

The vibe of the whole place felt weird from the door. It feels like an old YMCA. When we got seated in the middle of the room with no view of the bear out back I knew I'd be mad just not being able to do anything while we clearly were going to wait a long time. We decided to pass. On the way out there was a line of 10 old ppl waiting to pay in various sized groups. The windows were so filthy you couldn't take photo or video anyway. They do have tons of books of their photos though if that will suffice.
