This is the easiest review I've ever had the pleasure of writing. Simply put, Jack's is EXACTLY…read morewhat you'd expect in a smallish town in Wisconsin like Marshfield, whose main charm is it's townies, quaintness, and propensity to belly-up and have a good time. Where to start? How about the bartender, Mark. This guy is hilarious. Wry, witty, cranky, effervescent at times, brooding at times, observant, helpful, can "take it" and "dish it" ... hanging with people is his calling, clearly. I live in a college town, a SOUTHERN DRINKING town, and in my 10 years there I've yet to come across a bar tender as cool as this guy. If you go, call ahead and see if Mark's working the three-sided bar. Make fun of his midwestern accent and the fact that his girlfriend is the bar owner's daughter. Tell him "that's convenient, bro." Watch him glare at you and then barb you right back with playful banter. This guy needs to take his Marshfield charm to a big city some time ... people would LOVE him at a cool dive bar in a city: you know, the ones where folks know each other and you get reasonable drinks without a bunch of bs. Oh, and play dice with Mark. You'll lose and buy a round, but he pours 'em like a champ. Great guy. Okay, in the South, we rarely have things like PBR and High Life on tap. They do. And it's $1.50. I just got back from Manhattan where a PBR was $11 because the hipsters have co-opted our blue collar birthright of PBR for $.75. Jack's has the working class swill down. Bring a 20 spot, leave happy. The draft High Life made me think I was working the dairy farm or lumber yard or scrap yard. Just down-home BEER. Nothing fancy. Relaxed and cool atmosphere ... as an out of towner I was happy to see all the Brewers and Packers and Badgers stuff all over the walls. There were Brewers games on the two tvs the two times I visited. GREAT music that ranged from classic rock to some 80s to some outlaw and popular country. They played "Sweet Home Alabama." I'm from Alabama. I rocked out like a frat boy to an AC/DC song about some shlocky topic. I think they have darts and I saw some gambling machines. So, there's that. I was too lazy to walk over there. Don't say "Go Bears" as one of my friends did. The darned needle nearly scratched off the record, if you know what I mean. I bought a Jack's hat. Call me a tourist. But I **had** to remember this place. If I'm ever back in Marshfield (maybe likely because I have friends there; maybe not because it takes two flight legs and a 3-hour drive in a rental car to get there) I will camp out at Jack's. If you're a local, you know what I'm talking about. If you're a visitor, do not pass Central Ave ... go directly to Jack's and pretend to be a midwesterner (don'tcha know).

A few months ago, I found myself traveling from San Francisco to Marshfield on business (who knew,…read moreright?). Anyway, by the time I flew into CWA (Central Wisconsin Airport) and drove to Marshfield, I ended up at Bey's Bar, which turned out to be just the perfectly unassuming Midwestern tavern that I expected to find in what may be the friendliest city in Wisconsin. Our host, Dave (who was also the owner), treated my co-workers and I to the perfect combination of hospitality, entertainment (which included Dave's masterful playing of the stump fiddle) and $1.25 beers. By the time we stumbled out of Bey's that night we felt like we had made more friends than we had back home in Cali. If you ever find yourself in Marshfield, Wisconsin, do yourself a favor. Shoot a couple games of pool and have a couple of beers at Bey's. Get to know the locals a little bit. Chances are you won't find a more geniune and comfortable American pub in whatever city you come from.

I love their smoke shack in the back, amazingly blocking off the harsh Wisconsin winter winds. During the summer, it's open which is also amazing. Next door is Bottoms Up and that place is just as fun! And don't even get me started on their karaoke nights! Phenomenal! They out some talented people in the area! Much love to this place.

The guy can't even make a Jack and Coke correctly. I asked him if there were any specials one night for an event and he was extremely rude thereafter. It's typical for a bar to run specials, it's not an absurd question. This bar doesn't even have something as simple as a soda gun. The guy pours everything out of generic two-liter bottles and still charges too much. If you've never experienced a truly terrible bar, stop in for a minute. If you value your time, avoid coming in for lousy drinks at a bad bar, run by worse people.

Wife and I were in Marshfield visiting family, and knew this established place had changed hands…read moreand had a new owner. We decided to go for lunch. Waitress Jamie, was very nice and took our orders. It's all bar food, but the variety of offerings is impressive! Fried cauliflower, cheese curds, broccoli cheese bites, and on and on and on. They have a great fish fry every Friday, as well. Their specialty is 1/2 pound hamburgers in almost any combination you can think of, so that's what we ordered. They came out perfectly char-grilled, thick, juicy, perfectly medium, and delicious. Toasted buns (you can also get a Reuben burger), thin, crispy french fries, or very good potato salad, or onion rings. But, as I said above, there's lots more on the menu besides the burgers. We'll surely come back again for a hearty lunch or even supper. The Viaduct doesn't seat very many people, so come early. Besides the bar itself you can shoot pool, play darts, play video games, and watch sports on 3 TVs. There's even a massage chair tucked into one corner, though the masseuse is there only one day a week, so call ahead if you plan to indulge yourself. The new owner, Ashley, just added a new outside patio for even more seating in the warm months. Even if you're a local who's never been in, this place deserves a fresh look! Excellent food, very pleasant service, good people!

Don't bother with this place.
