Just be ready to squeeze in The decor is the first thing you notice. The walls and ceiling are practically plastered with local apparel, and for whatever reason, there's a heavy monkey theme going on with all the gear. It gives the place a great, unpretentious, classic Wisconsin dive bar vibe. The menu keeps it simple: standard, no-nonsense bar food. We're talking burgers, baskets, and fried sides. Service was surprisingly snappy given that it was shoulder-to-shoulder at the bar. If you want a quiet, intimate dinner, this isn't it. But if you want cold drinks, killer curds, and a vibrant crowd, it's easily a solid four-star stop on the strip. I'd definitely grab a beer here again. the burgers claimed that they were world famous but topping your burgers is a little strange, they charge 25 cents for tomatoes and lettuce

The drinks however fell short. My hubby got an old fashioned and we'll see the photo of the pink concoction he got that tasted like cinnamon. Maybe it's a regional thing but he's an avid old fashioned drinker and well it was like nothing we've had before. We then ordered monk-aritas to take the place and those tasted like pure sweet and sour. They had a good looking beer list so probably should have went that way. Food was great though- no complaints there.

We did not have the best experience with the service unfortunately. Our reservation table was not ready on arrival and nobody came up to our table to greet or take our drink order until around 20 minutes after we sat down. We also had requested to sit outside and they reported that they didn't have a table for this. I checked outside after and they had multiple tables outside open. I ordered the mushroom risotto and espresso martini. The espresso martini was amazing. Would definitely order again!

A cool Sunday afternoon on our trek back home we stopped here for dinner. Recommended by our Uber…read moredriver on a previous trip. Not very busy at the time, we sat out on the back patio. The host and the server asked us a couple of times if we were sure we wanted to sit outside since it was a bit chilly. But our minds were set and we were happy with our decision to sit outside; enjoying the fresh air and sunset views. And really it wasn't too bad at all with a light sweater on. The inside of the restaurant was rather warm which is perhaps why they thought it was so cold out on the back patio. Their cocktail list was classic and not overwhelming. I chose the Negroni. Dinner was the Mahi Po-Boy sandwich. Fish was cooked to perfection. Sandwich wasn't super fancy or overloaded with fillings. Just a light drizzle of cucumber aioli and a little coleslaw mixture. My only complaint is that the bread was a little too heavy or thick, it took away from the overall light flavor and texture of the fish. Perhaps something a little thinner would complement it more? Final thoughts: worth the view, relaxed environment, a step away from the busier main streets, feels more local and less touristy than the surrounding area.

Inedible fries (some still frozen and somehow stale?), onion rings you can't even bite through due to them being stale and old, and freezer burned meat. I wouldn't recommend wasting your money here. When we complained about our meals, all of which were basically picked at or untouched, we were told they could make us all new food, which we declined as we feared for our health. No discounts given, no manager on duty to talk to, just a true dumpster fire of an establishment. I never leave reviews like this and I will not be returning. Don't be fooled by the nostalgia and gimmick. Not worth the experience.
