    Regulars flock to the place to sip on some of Wisconsin's world class micro-brews, pairing them with some better than average bar food.

    The fish fry is tasty (I like the perch), the pretzels are brushed with butter (mmmm) and somehow the rye bread is a standout

    If you have a food allergy or intolerance they will not help you at all and the wait staff do not care. I was put in the emergency room because of this. Don't touch this place with a ten foot pole.

    Best Ruben in town. Good fries, avoid the chili garlic fries, tho. They're tossed in (even more) oil...
