To which I responded politely it's ok take your time.... she fires back I planned on it. . I walked away and started playing a machine and shes hollering over and over I need an ID. As I approached I again politely asked her to be careful with my ID because it was ready to split.... She says oh I'm not the One who needs to be careful you do!she then looks it over under light and asks me my name in which she didn't catch the first time I had said it. She then asked if I was paying for all drinks and I questioned if my friends in fact paid for theirs and she was again sassy. At this point I am very uncomfortable and appalled at the way she handled herself. I DO NOT CARE IF THIS WAS IN FACT ONE OF THE OWNERS! If so shame on you for your awful disgusting qualities. I didn't even drink all of my beverage and couldn't wait to leave. I will never come back to this place if this woman is the one they allow to treat customers like scum from the second they walk in the door til they leave!!!!

It's definitely a small town bar but the menu was better than typical bar food. I chose the pick your own sandwich of which I chose grilled chicken, bacon, lettuce, and tomato.

I first stumbled upon this place in December of 2018.

So we went down to the lounge to have some drinks and celebrate the start of our lives together. We were greeted by a truly friendly bartender and a small handful of locals and passerbys. Everyone there was more then happy to join in on the celebrating the occasion with us. Fast forward 3 years to today, we are back in Mauston visiting family and decided to stop into the Emerald Lounge and reminisce on our first night in here 3 years ago as newlyweds. Different Bartender, different faces, same friendly environment. I can not recommend this place enough.

We were there for the weekend staying at the Best Western attached on a Friday and Saturday. We loved the first bartender we had Connie on Friday she was very friendly and nice to everyone she was great. She always has been a good bartender every time we have been there and she was there we were excited to still see her there. Not so much with the next person that came in I'm pretty sure she has never bartended before and could use a course on customer service. We were not at all impressed with her. She was working on Saturday night when we went back up there. We thought we would give her another chance that lasted about an hour and we went somewhere else in town. They need to look at getting a different bartender before they lose more customers. We won't be going there when she is working if we do decide to go back.
