Your customer service tonight did not warrant cursing people with two balls on the table and 15 minutes left. Do not ask me to respect you when yell across the bar at my lovely lady when she is simply trying to finish the game and respect bar time while you use it as an opportunity to curse Dennis (bar owner). We know who Dennis is and how strict he is. It's his bar. I've never been talked to like that from any bartender in my life. Hopefully a simple misunderstanding? But it seemed like you simply were being unprofessional while intoxicated on the job. Please leave Stoughton!!!

I love the bars I've discovered since I moved to Milwaukee. Most with a classic feel, slightly dim with quirky decor. This bar is no different. There is always something new to check out and explore. I loved that my drink had a doily as a coaster. A very good cocktail menu. I found something quickly. It was relatively quiet since we arrived kind of at an off time. but there was a small talkative group of regulars (seemed to be?) at the other end of the bar. The service was somewhat sluggish. The bartender chatted with the regulars and overlooked when we finished our drinks. I never want to be that people who yell at a bartender or is aggressive about having a drink now. Did we waited longer than usual? Yes. But nothing major. And the exceptional cocktails were worth the wait!

We chatted and played a few etab games (be aware: ticket cash-out will print behind the bar, so you have to go up there to ask for it-- they won't bring it to you). Place started out slow and picked up speed. Our bartender, who only works a few days a month, was cool and polite. He got a little overwhelmed towards the end, but the place seemed short staffed for a Friday. Positive: Kegger Tators we're delish! Tasted like a sour cream and chive mashed potato with crispy goodness on the outside. Petty melt had a decent rye bread. Improve: Chicken wings were a little dry but at least they're weren't undercooked. Sauces on the side were bottled whatevs, wish they were house made. Wish the fries were crispy and not shoe string. Burger size was small compared to the bread. By the end, we still had to go up several times to get service and the bar wasn't near full.

But the illusion fades the moment a Bloody Mary arrives at the table. This is a bar that takes its craft seriously. The cocktail was thoughtfully prepared and balanced, revealing an attention to detail rarely found in establishments trading on casual charm alone.

In an era of increasingly curated hospitality, this remains a genuinely local gathering place--unpretentious, distinctive, and unmistakably its own.

It is a…read moresmall establishment with a bar to the left and seating area, to the right, with two smaller tables on the side of the bar. We arrived about 10:00 am, and it was packed. It was very loud with people talking, due to the small space. We sat at our table and waited awhile for a server, but didn't know if we needed to order at the bar. After a while, a waitress arrived to take our order. She was very joyful and friendly. We both ordered the walleye and eggs, which included hashbrowns and toast. My husband added cheese and onions on the hashbrowns at no extra cost. We also ordered a Bloody Mary, which came with a chaser. They arrived with a spear of mozzarella cheese, pimento olive, smoked sausage, and a dill pickle. The walleye had a nice thin crust and the eggs and hashbrowns were cooked perfectly. My better half said that he didn't taste any onions in the hashbrowns and they used American cheese, which made them runny. It was a good breakfast, and we enjoyed our time there. However, due to the loudness, we probably won't go back, as it was hard to have a conversation. Be aware that they only take cash, but they do have an ATM in the building. This establishment definitely had a great atmosphere and service, with friendly staff.

It's an utter shame how terrible Dane County is about making lake/water space accessible to the public (one thing Chicago does way better than Wisconisn, unfortunately), but Water Street Tavern totally gives me the waterfront dining fix. It's along the river, not the lake, which gives it a bit more of an intimate feel to it. Their outdoor space is absolutely beautiful and I highly recommend checking it out. We came here for our monthly fish fry, never having been here before. We came around 5:30p on a Friday and were told no indoor tables until about 8pm. It was a tad chilly out but we opted for the immediate outdoor table. There is a fireplace out there, but it's more aesthetic than anything, it provided no heat our way but we were find with sweaters. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and super fun to chat with. I wish they had your basic cod on the fish fry menu - and I was surprised they didn't - but I opted for the walleye instead. It's one very large piece but it was pretty good! Crunhcier breading but not excessive. I enjoyed the house old fashioned. I wish they had supper club boozy ice cream dessert drinks, but they don't so I opted for a cocktail as dessert instead. My dining mates got the cheesecake and ate the whole thing. We left around 7:15pm and it was empty inside, not sure what happened there, but either way I'm glad we ended up outside and I will definitely be back here more often now that I've discovered this wonderful place!
