    Rick R.

    Was introduced to this place by some friends on our way up to Door County last weekend. They told me the beer list was incredible. I looked up at the chalk board and saw 15 or so beers, most of which didn't seem that impressive to me. One of my friends noticed the puzzled look on my face, as I wondered what was so special about the place and asked the bartender for the binder. The binder was at least an inch think and listed over 900 beers! Ohhhh, now I get it. Then I started paging through the binder, organized by beer category and also by name, or so I was told. I saw some very impressive beers listed in the binder, and ordered a couple, including a very rare find. It's not just the beer list that makes this bar great. It has that divey, neighborhood corner bar look and feel to it, which great décor made up of beer cartons, cans, and bottles. Lights were being put up during our visit. But that's not all. The staff really knows their shit! There were three on site, including an owner. The young lady putting up the lights stopped to answer questions about some of the beers in house and provided very detailed answers. I wouldn't be surprised if she tried all 900+ beers more than once. I plan to make special trips to Port Washington, just to visit Sir James Pub. There is a hotel down the street and within walking distance, so I can make a night or weekend of it!

    Can't go to WI without having this beer!

Like I said before, the sandwiches arrived the size of an adult's head. Jar dropping is a fitting description of what we looked like when our server placed the sandwiches before us. The homemade bread was soft and delicious. The chicken club easily had half a pound of cooked bacon on it. Before we ever took our first bites, we knew we would need to go boxes. Wait, did I mention we had the most wonderful cheese curbs as an appetizer? Worth ordering but only if you split a sandwich!! There are a handful of booths in the front area along with seating along the bar. TVs in the main room. There is also a back room that would hold maybe another 40 people. This tavern has been in place for years under different names. I would love to hear the history. I could see a set up that would have been particularly useful for gambling & drinking during prohibition. The staff was very efficient and helpful. One person out front & one in back. Never had to wait.

    I had the Frankie's burger and it was both delicious and humongous. The bartender served because I…read moresat at the bar to ate and she was funny and efficient. The bartender served has the authentic feel and look of a classic WI corner bar, which makes sense because that is exactly what it is. The menu had so many choices that looked excellent it was hard to choose. There was more dining area further back so the seating was much more than I would have guessed from looking at it from the street. The restaurant and bathroom were both very clean too. I just wish it was at a corner near me instead of being 2 hours from home, this would be a great place to have nearby.

We had the cheese curds for the appetizer and my husband had the pork tenderloin and I had the crusted chicken. All of our food was absolutely delicious- served hot, and perfectly seasoned. My husband commented that it tasted like a chef was in the kitchen. Think metropolitan, high-end restaurant quality food! Prices are very reasonable for the quantity and quality. The ambience is charming yet fresh and modern. Very clean. I would suggest to dress resort casual or nicer for an evening meal. The service was attentive and welcoming. There is room for a large group. Outside seating is available, but I wouldn't recommend because it is near a busy traffic light which would detract from the experience. Don't hesitate to try the Courthouse Pub for a delicious, memorable meal.

    Stopped in on a recent Saturday for lunch. It was relatively quiet so bellied up to the bar…read more Sauer's is pretty spacious inside with the requisite gaming machines along the wall. My server/bartender was attentive and very welcoming. A solid selection of taps, cans/bottles and your standard offering of booze. They do have a menu of different old fashioneds for those inclined. Their menu is your standard pub options-appetizers, pizza, wings, burgers, sandwiches, and fish on Fridays. I opted for one of their daily specials-steak sandwich. I opted for the upgrade for the side of fries that came with and selected the pickle chips. I am glad I did as they are some of the best I have tasted in quite sometime. Thinly sliced, they were perfectly fried with a thin batter that didn't hide the flavor of the pickle. The sandwich also hit the mark-tender steak nestled between a ciabatta bun. It was great. Highly recommend checking out Sauer's-a solid pub with some great food.

My spouse ordered the grilled cheese, which said on the menu it came with a choice of two cheeses. When he said which two cheeses he wanted, the waitress said that would be an extra charge. When he pointed to the menu, she said "she'd have to check". She never came back to tell us if he got two cheeses or not. We weren't given any utensils, so I had to get up and get my own from the hostess station. My burger had a very strong taste of livestock and barnyard. I also ordered an ice water which was almost undrinkable. At least invest in a faucet filter, guys. The homemade chips with garlic cream cheese were very good, though. At the end of the meal, the waitress brought our check, but then came and took it away from us because she forgot to add the beer my spouse ordered because their water had such a bad taste. Since she had already dropped the ball so many times, this could have been an opportunity to extend a gesture of good will and give it to him on the house, but alas. In addition, they have kind of a snotty little sign in the entrance demanding you wipe your feet as if you're a child, and they proudly display that they do not offer any service for their ample patio seating. Just not a great experience.
