    The bartender, who is the owner's daughter, is always bitching at the customers. It is not a pleasant experience.

    Absolutely love this place! Very classy and very surprising they aren't busier than they are. It…read morewas fun having a drink and just hanging out. There is an older jukebox available to play music, and the sound in that place was really great. They were closed during the pandemic I believe, but now they are open again. A week after we visited there someone vandalized the back or side of the building with graffiti, which is unfortunate! It's a swank place, and I hope that more people realize just how much fun it is to be there. The seats seem kind of retro and has a lot of big wide curves to it. I hope that the musty smell can get cleared out somehow because that's a little overwhelming, but I think it's just from being closed up for so long. We will definitely be back! Bummed I didn't take pictures, but I'll definitely update with pictures when we go back!

    This place rules! I got to go here and have an afternoon…read morebeer for a panel at the Midwest Music Fest! The bar is just amazing looking! Elements of retro classic-ness mixed with modern touches make it really unique and quite inviting to my eyes! Killer large booths, and one beautiful long bar makes the bar the place to be. Go through a door and the next thing you know you are in a beautiful theater.. This is the perfect place to hang out and see a band play! I had a brew from the great selection and the bartender was super nice and told us about the place! Sounds like it might only be open for shows and weekends but If I lived here I I would come to hang out all the time! This is a cool bar amongst the coolest bars I have ever been in and I was here at 4 in the afternoon! I bet it gets really awesome at 10pm!

    I first stumbled upon this place in December of 2018. My wife and I had just gotten married at the…read morecourthouse in Mauston, we were staying at the Best Western for 5 or so days and didn't have the budget for an elaborate honeymoon. 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.

    This place is pretty nice. It's the 3rd time we have been here. Drinks are cold they have a bunch…read moreof TVs and something different on each one. The pizzas are very good here! 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.

    A friend had recommended checking out the Foxhole after her last visit here - she said the small…read moretown vibe was great and the old fashioned were great. I've always liked the Sparta side of Fort McCoy better than Tomah, as it just seems more like an individual small town versus a big-box thoroughfare. What a wonderful recommendation, I had a fantastic visit. My co-worker can second the old fashioneds! Staff was super friendly and service was attentive. Clearly there are locals and regulars coming in that know each other by name, but being out-of-towners we were still treated the same and welcomed. We sat at the bar (always my preference), but there is plenty of restaurant seating if you come here with a group or with your family. They have a decent beer selection on tap, and the menu can cover pretty much all appetites. I ordered the veggie burger, which was somewhat generic but nevertheless tasty and I ate the whole thing. Overall, I'd say the food here is good - maybe nothing crazy unique, but good, especially with the somewhat limited options in the area if you want to stay away from chains and fast food. I will absolutely be back for another dinner and continue to try out options on the menu. I'd really love to do the fish fry if I'm ever here on a Friday night. But, who needs dinner when you have dessert?! OMG I'd seen some photos of their desserts online, and even though I'm not usually a dessert person, these photos drove me here that night! Wow. The Brandy Alexander is absolutely incredible. It's large but my co-worker and I each ordered our own (and finished it completely). Anyone can make a Brandy Alexander you sip from a cup... but this was like a soft serve goblet of ice cream with the booze mixed in throughout. The BEST. I will be back here every time I'm in the area just for this (and then good food and beer is always a nice add-on).
