A decent selection of local brews has an out of towner like me very happy to see more than just domestic garbage. Tap beer was cold and tasted good. At the time I visited they were only doing a Friday Fish Fry as far as food is concerned but they do have a kitchen and it sounded like it was due to staffing issues. The regulars hanging out said the food is great and the bartender told me to come early for the fish fry as it sells out fast so must be good!

I remember lunches got quite busy most of the time was just bruising myself tired it was one of the most enjoyable jobs I had.

And truthfully I can't believe that they're not open for lunch.

The bar area has the character of a midwestern bar. About 30 ft on lay the dining area which was non-descript and empty (it was late). In short, the food was fine. The waitress was cordial enough, and prices were more than fair. This place serves the 'the locals' and probably serves them well. I probably won't come back because it is out of the way. The other reviewers who rip on the place are transients, and don't matter. You need to get the context to understand a place like this and who it ultimately exists for.

It was alright. Just short staffed so service is slow and okay food. Nothing we would come back for.read more

If you don't think that there are ridiculously good singers in Wausau, you'd better think again...a couple of these folks will sing your sox off! Their Bloody Mary buffet is CLUTCH on a Sunday before, during or after the game. And on any ol' regular night, they have a pool table, a sweet jukebox and some pretty generous rules when it comes to tossing the dice on the bar. It's my new favorite.

She made it very obvious she didn't like a specific customer and didn't even try to hide it. Raising her voice, snapping in an annoyed tone, and creating a scene over something as simple as someone trying to buy that person a drink. Instead of handling it professionally, she acted like the person offering the drink was doing something wrong, which was completely uncalled for. I felt bad for the guy. It honestly felt like we were watching someone push their personal feelings onto customers instead of doing their job. If you don't like a patron, fine--but don't make it everyone else's problem. It created a tense, awkward atmosphere and made the whole place feel hostile. And if this customer is really that terrible to deal with, then handle it the right way--ban him. Don't take it out on other paying customers who are just trying to have a good time. We came in expecting a normal night and left feeling uncomfortable. From all of the reviews it made it sound like we would have a fun and inviting time. It was anything but that.

Local bands play here quite a bit, which is great if you only like nu-metal. I'd say this is the best trait of the bar. Other than that. I've had only rude experiences with the bar tenders, and the owners. They're unfriendly, sarcastic, and down right rude to a point where I've questioned their mental stability. (Particularly, what I assume is their sound guy, Boo. He's simply creepy, and doesn't respond to simple questions, just stares.) The drinks are over priced. (4$ for a Pabst? Are you kidding me?) The bar is very clicky,and they rudely usher out all paying patrons at the end of the night so they can party in the back pool room with their friends. All in all, an annoying bar. You'd be better off going to the strip club across the street or heading downtown to PI or Glass Hat.
