Nova prides itself on being a dive bar. To the point where they even scribbled their name on a…read moreposter, located, in an appropriate place, above the toilet in the men's bathroom! There's really no redeeming value to be associated with this place other than it being a cool place to have a beer during the hot summer months. And downright freezing during the winter! Me finding myself tethered to John (a local gadabout) who drags me to a seemingly endless line of beverage intakes of an alcohol nature, and I not being use to the effects of cold and ice. The ice in the parking lot can be treacherous, and the inside is like aging beef in cold storage! Ahhh but that only adds to its charm. Tie that in with the warm hearts sharing the bar and it makes for a memorable experience. But not one that I would frequent on a daily basis. I heard stories about there being caves associated with Nova. Who knows, maybe someday John will get me an invite to explore and I'll come across Injun' Joe just like Tom Sawyer. My luck though it'll be a rabid bat I find. A memory ever associated with the bowels of the dive which is Nova. Honestly speaking, I had fun at Nova, cold and all. We would have stayed longer but alas, a dinner engagement loomed which would provide us the opportunity to indulge once more, and more importantly, thaw out! Quick Tip: After you've had your fill at Nova you can walk down to the corner for ice cream at the Dairy Queen. You'll find that novelty warmer than what you had to endure at Hudsons finest dive.

Today was our 4th time to Lucky Guys Distillery. We first stumbled upon it last fall when we were…read morein Hudson having dinner for our wedding anniversary, we stopped in for after dinner drinks, my husband tried the Lucky Guy's Old Fashioned and I had the espresso martini, the espresso martini was the best I've ever had, same for the old fashioned, my husband loves the honey habanero in it. On our next visit, we brought my sister-in-law and brother-in-law and they loved it too. On our 3rd visit we brought my mother-in-law and father-in-law and their friends, typically hard to pleased people when it comes to eating out/drinks at an establishment and they enjoyed the cocktails also. Today we were out on a drive and had our mini Goldendoodle with us, we weren't sure if Lucky Guy's was dog friendly, so I popped my head in to see if they were dog friendly and found out they are on their patio and main level. I ordered my usual espresso martini and my husband got the Lucky Guy's Old Fashioned, we are creatures of habit and when we find a cocktail we like, we tend to stick with it. However, when we decided to have another round, I asked Guy what he recommended and he suggested the Somerset Martini, it did not disappoint. Guy knows what he's doing! The ambiance is great, warm and welcoming and it's tastefully decorated, right down to the bathrooms. Guy has been there every time we've been there and you can tell that he cares about his customers and the cocktails he's making. All other staff we've encountered at Lucky Guys have always been friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming. Highly recommend Lucky Guy's. If we didn't live over 40 minutes away, we'd probably be there a lot more frequently. Keep up the good work!

Space to move around, and if you're drinking alone, no pressure to engage in conversation. The dive element is there, but hidden by cleanliness. You can almost fool yourself into thinking that you're at mom and pop restaurant instead of a mom and pop bar. Low-key and friendly. Sandy, the owner, was our bartender for the visit. She was very nice while talking us up. Sandy seems happy with the clientele, and they seem to like her too. The fact that she had the time for conversation will tell you how busy the place was, or more to the point, wasn't. As sleepy as Main Street in Mayberry. Otis didn't make an appearance. Stop in and pound a couple, then mosey across the street to Starrs for a couple more. Sounds like a fun filled afternoon to me. Quick Tip: I don't expect anyone to read this review, seeing how Mallalieu Inn has been open for a century, and this is only the second review on Yelp. I know, it's a bit tongue in cheek, but heck, Yelp has been around for like 20 years. Taking that into consideration, low-key may be a couple levels too high!

Unpretentious local neighborhood dive bar - inexpensive, honest - come as you are…read more This is the only place I've been to in Hudson that I feel is a genuinely unpretentious place. They don't pretend to be anything they aren't. It's a blue collar place that has beer in bottles, soda in cans, basic food that's good and cheap and served in a basket. Mallalieu was named after the lake that's behind the building. It was opened in 1908 by George Starr. This son, Ernest, opened the "Starr's Bar" across the street after prohibition ended. There's a lot of local history here. The owner is the also the bartender, the server, the chief cook and bottle washer. She's personable and good at what she does. After talking to a few people it looks like I should come back on Wednesday night for the steak fry or Friday night for the fish fry. Thanks, Mallalieu Inn! -Daddy Maxx Retro

In the end, the three of us agreed that we definitely had a 5 star experience. We arrived at opening and we happened to be served by the owner himself - a really nice guy. He gave us a brief history of the bar, which is extensive. The Old Saloon has been around with the current name since 1975 (the building is a lot older). The current owner has been at the helm for 30 years! Obviously, he's knows what he's doing. Our food was excellent...everything from the Ellsworth Cheese Curds, the wings, the salad, the burger, the Chicago style hotdog, and the savory mac & cheese soup! Of course, since this is Wisconsin, they have a great selection of beer on tap. The prices were amazingly reasonable to. We probably would have paid double in the Twin Cities. The décor is cool too. Apparently, the owner's wife is the chief decorator and she does a great job. I particularly love the vintage and antique stuff. They have some very old and rare original neon signs, an old Schwinn Phantom, and an antique penny scale. There are a few reproductions here & there but most of it is totally original. Cool! Thanks for a great experience! Thumbs up! - Maxx

Contrary to belief, the VFW here is open to the public. Most VFWs are open to the public due to…read moredeclining membership (all the old vets are dying off). Anyway, this VFW has a new Chef along with a new menu. On Friday nights they have Prime Rib and Walleye for $12. You get either the prime rib or walleye with a baked potato along with a veggie and roll. This place is great! The Walleye is huge that has a light panko crust which comes out moist inside. The prime rib is a thick King size portion done how you like. I like med-rare. Now especially for the price and quality of the food, you would pay at least $20+ for the prime rib anywhere else. And why go to an Applebees, Chilis or TGI Fridays for lesser quality and portion size along with paying a higher price with crappy service. Plus you support the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States) which is a great cause. They also have cheap drinks. I am surprised word has not gotten out to the college kids. They have different events going on there plus a regular menu. I do like the chili there. So stop in and try it out. http://www.facebook.com/rosevilleandersonnelson.vfw
