Stopped in here to get some air conditioning on this sweltering heat during Cedarburg Strawberry Festival. I guess a lot of people had the same idea because it was packed! From the outside it looked like a dive bar but once you got in it was really nice and I guess I would call it a north woods theme. Beer was cold. Bartenders were friendly. The beer menu was pretty intense. They even have a nice private patio area in the back read more

Not my vibe. If you aren't a local you aren't welcome here. 5 years ago, I got married. We came to the bar for after drinks. The owner was present. He did not provide us with any positive vibes like welcoming the wedding party. He also charged us for every drink we had. We have not been back since. Camp Bar is the place to go when in cedarburg. Don't waste your time on this place. read more

Great prices and great service from the staff. It's a cute tucked away bar that I will certainly visit again!

Beautiful establishment, excellent selection of beer and spirits... such a great bar! We love all the staff but man, Josh is THE BEST!! Customer service is 10/10. Come visit! read more

I spent hundreds of dollars at this establishment over the years, always tipped generously and never did anything wrong. I spent an entire night there after country in the burg and spent close to $100 only to be tossed out the very next night with no explanation. They have concocted a straight up lie about me as to why they kicked me out, that defames my character. Sometimes they have let me in and other times they have forced me to leave. I left an honest review about them defaming me and kicking me out when I've done nothing wrong and they turn around and block me. I have remained silent on this for over a year and I'm tired of it. I have repeatedly asked the owner for the so call video footage that exists of me doing what they claim I've done, and it's met with silence. Absolutely ridiculous for a business to make up lies about someone and kick them out just to appease a group of regulars. Shame on you North 48. read more

I went here for the Bloody Mary Halloween event last weekend and the vibe is really cool. I like how it's chill, townie, but posh people at the same time. The Bloody Mary was my favorite in the voting! Ambiance A- Drinks B+ Staff A. (There was even an Adam Levine "look a like" lol) read more

My husband and I went in there tonight for a couple of drinks. There were three other people there at that time (a Monday night) and the bartender with long red hair behind the counter. She did not look up when we walked in but was on her phone. No greeting, no acknowledgment of any sort. We took a seat near the bar and after 10 minutes, we left. Would not go back there...I understand as I live in a town that is full of tourists in the summer but that is how you support your business. Not friendly at all. read more

This place was pretty cool. Loved the environment and decor! The service was fast. The drinks were awesome also. I'd say average prices. . Since I already had Covid I don't really have a problem with it, but I will mention that coming from out of state it was definitely way more relaxed as far as the pandemic goes. Workers and people going in and out didn't have masks. The bartender was eating finger food between making drinks no handwashing in between or anything. Again I wasn't too mad about it because I had it. But for the others who might be sensitive to the pandemic they might wanna know that part. Also it's flu season anyways right? Anyways it was good tho! Next time I'm back in Oconomowoc I'll probably be back! read more

I won't go back! Rude bartender Ashley. Rolled her eyes whenever we asked for a drink and honestly ruined our night.

Amazing place! We love it! Loved meeting the locals and the drinks are incredible We will be back read more

tl;dr Great local beer, tasty handcrafted cocktails, homey northwoods environment, cool and casual conversation, and best of all, excellent prices. There are plenty of bars and taverns in downtown Cedarburg, but none have the vibe (casual, cool, clean) of North 48. The northwoods cabin motif is respectfully played out and homey (nothing kitschy here). Service here is spot on. Whether you're being served by owner Tom, or any of the other bartenders, you'll never have to wait or have to flag them down for their attention. Each cocktail is squeezed/crafted fresh in front of you, your water will always be full, and they'll happily provide advice on your next beer. Oh, when I saw squeezed, I mean it. There is a juicer right on the bar, with their beer fridge stocked with lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruit and more. The seating areas are comfortable, ranging from tables and chairs to sofas and coffee tables next to a fireplace. There is also a back patio, but I didn't get a close look. There are a few TVs inside, with full sound during games. Oh, prices. This may be a tourist town, but you'll be charged as if you're in a townie bar. Our first tab was three craft beers and a craft cocktail for a total of $18. There's no food here, but the focus and effort they've put on everything else makes up for that. I kinda wish there was a popcorn machine or better yet, sell bags of popcorn from Cedarburg Popcorn Company, but... they do have a special food hookup for those with a hankering. You can order Stilt House food at the bar and it will be walked over to you. If you find yourself in Cedarburg, you need to stop at North 48 for a libation or two or three... read more

This is without a doubt my favorite spot in Cedarburg. Most importantly, They have a great tap beer selection and mix amazing drinks. Their margarita recipe is the best I've had in Wisconsin! If you aren't into margaritas, that's okay... but if Cassie is bartending, I don't care if you're not into margaritas, get one. She's the best (see pictured). I love that they have a spacious outdoor patio that is dog friendly. They do not serve food but you can grab takeout from any of the restaurants nearby and carry in. Finally, they host the Cedarburg Pedal Tavern which is a great addition to our small town. Top-notch establishment! read more

Cute upscale bar with a Wisconsin cabin feel. Highlights: - Excellent craft cocktails; bartenders are squeezing fresh juice, muddling and everything. - Atmosphere: chill with the bar up front and some seating in back with deer heads and sleds on the wall. - Music: eclectic all over the place in a good way. You could hear country, an 80s pop tune, and Tom Jones back to back. - Sugar bush: tasted like fall. Bourbon drink well balanced between not too sweet fruity and strong with a good mix of flavors of pineapple, cherry vanilla bitters, and cinnamon. - Double Bit: alcohol forward for sure with bourbon, walnut butter, and honey--also good. - Montana mule: grapefruity version was refreshing Lowlights: - Can be a wait for a drink since it's crowded and a good amount of effort needed to make the drinks. Really enjoyed a few after dinner drinks here and would love to come back. read more

Was here about a month ago! Enjoyed a tequila sunrise & some darts. Reasonably priced, with good music. Friendly staff and a good vibe, definitely have been planning to go back. read more

Best upscale bar in Cedarburg. The new owner (Jordan) has revamped the bar and included a larger selection of craft beer. This kid really knows what he's doing. I recommend stopping in earlier if you're looking to grab a table for 4+ people, and don't forget to try their signature bloody- YUM read more

Best drinks ever! Cassie was awesome and made the best margaritas I've ever had! An absolute must!!! And she's super friendly.

A Saturday night with one bartender working making complicated drinks leaves no time to serve others waiting at the bar. Waited for 10 minutes bellied up to the bar only to be skipped for service by others. Terrible. Won't be back. read more

Drinks were great but there was a bartender Mary Beth who was sassy and snarky. She played screamo music and did not pay attention or cater to what the crowd wanted. She was not very nice at all. Beautiful environment but everyone was complaining about Mary Beth the bartender. We had a group of 10 and nobody had a good thing to say about her. I'm sure this business is wonderful but this bartender ruined it for all of us. Don't play screamo please. Do better. She only allowed one customer to have one song requested. read more

This new establishment in this small town will make a huge impact on the community who loves their local brews and specially made cocktails true to the Wisconsin pride. Being a local and an avid lover of drinking this place bring the rustic essence of the lodging & camping of The Goodland along with the modern day love of alcohol we all have at heart. I cannot wait o make this spot my go to place to come whenever I am in town visiting the family. Right off the main street of down town friendly bartenders to have conversations with & the interior lodge look makes the community feeling even better. I recommend any beer rotating on tap brewed locally to the special cocktails named and designed after the true Wisconsin pride. read more

Went to this bar several times.. Cassie and Jordan are super friendly..Cassie truly goes above and beyond..perfect bloody Mary's great TVs but I really dont want to hear during a bucks game that a bartender really doesn't want to be there cause its dead and she was at a friend's pool!! I feel bad I can't remember the bartenders name during Saturday's bucks game but he was awesome trying to get her motivated! And was successful Only other wish is they had food otherwise best bar to go to at Cedarburg!! read more

Cozy northwoods lodge atmosphere, excellent craft beer selection, fantastic craft cocktails and friendly staff!

Cassie was amazing! Only bartender working and she was attentive and fast...very impressed with her!

Fun place with great up North decor. Staff is super friendly and welcoming. We love coming in to try new beers and a hand muddled old fashioned! read more

This place was absolutely terrible!! We ended up leaving because we never got served. It was 2pm and we had a member of our group go to the bar to get drinks and everyone at the bar that got there after her got served. It was not busy! I mean everyone. The super rude male bartender (short black hair) did not once make eye contact! After a serious 10 minutes a second member of our group went up and asked what was happening. He told her very snarky and under his breath that he was serving and the line and that she didn't understand how patience works. Completely belittled both women who were trying to order. Another woman who was at the bar (not from our group) even asked if we had gotten served or even spoken to.. it was obvious that he was purposely ignoring the woman from our group. I am fuming!! I wish I could rate this negative 100 stars. read more

I have to say the bar tender on Wednesdays, Bracken, played an awesome playlist from the 80s. She is an awesome bartender and made everyone feel welcome and was very attentive. Great bar in the Burg. read more

Great place with good atmosphere. Drinks are great and staff are pleasant and friendly. Good spot to swing by and have a couple of drinks. Highly recommend! read more

Nice bar in downtown Cedarburg if you're looking for a good drink. The servers were really knowledgeable and nice. More importantly, the drinks were great. The Fermentorium Double IPA is well balanced and worth a try! The atmosphere is comfortable and good for groups. They also have TVs in case you want to watch a game. Also, you can order Sal's pizza from the bar which is convenient. read more

This is my favorite bar in Cedarburg. The atmosphere is amazing and the folks that work here are great. Tom, the owner, works hard to make it a unique experience. Now that there is food connection with Stilt House to deliver food here it almost perfect. Great rotation of beers and fresh hand made mixed drinks. A must visit for guests of Cedarburg. read more

This bar is really nice inside and has great drinks however the bartender who goes by the name of Craig is very rude and I was refused service for no particular reason. When I asked why I wasn't being served he claimed the owners didn't like me. read more

The atmosphere is awesome, drinks are amazing, and Tao is an artist with cocktails. Worth the trip!

Bartenders were great. A special thanks to Jordan and Lang. They were friendly and helpful with recommendations. Jordan went above and beyond for our group. read more

Great atmosphere, and a solid selection of special cocktails on the menu. I will definitely be back for future visits.

Yes, there are no taps yet, but as an underage customer, this restaurant is a friendly environment for all ages, even when they do get their 48 hand crafted beer taps in. The walls are covered in art featuring some of Portland's greatest sites made by local artists. This place looks like it belongs on 23rd or in the pearl district as their hip look is accompanied their amazing yet simple menu featuring pizzas, salads, appetizers, and virgin drinks. read more

What a great addition to a tired Cedarburg bar scene. They have a great selection of interesting beers, awesome craft cocktails and great bartenders. Has a north woods motif but not feel. read more
