“ One of our favorite places for a meal or drinks. Friendly staff and love the Celtic atmosphere. They have great specials, the bao bun with braised short ribs were so tasty. And the desserts rock. ”
“ Best Reuben I ever had!!! Plus the other meals we ordered were excellent as well. We’ll definitely be coming back here again. Walter, and the rest of the staff make this a destination diner worth visiting! We will be back. ”
“ Stopped by for first time, ordered some cheese curds which were yummy and plentiful. The wife did not want a bun so she requested a wrap replacement and only with sauce on the side. No problem there, and I had the awesome Reuben with brown mustard instead of 1000 island. A great twist. Salty fries and a couple half and half’s made for a great dinner. Bartender and wait staff were fun and responsive to the patrons. A great experience, fun atmosphere and a place to stop by. ”
“ I can't find anything I would say I like about this establishment. However; that's only because I love everything about this Establishment! From "Food" to "Service" everything about this business is perfect! ”
“ This place has no business being this good. When I got here I thought “okay cool a bar that serves bar food” and didn’t have high expectations. I was shocked with everything. The waitress was wonderful and the food was exceptional. The cheese curds are exactly what you want with that delicious bar ranch dressing (iykyk). Then came the burger, it’s not good because it’s just massive and topped with a bunch of crazy things you don’t even notice, it’s good because it’s simple and melts in your mouth. I cannot recommend this place enough. They also have a great beer list and from what I saw it looked like the bartender could create any complex cocktail you want or just toss you a simple jack and coke. ”
“ Just came here with my kids and have to say the staff, environment, and food were amazing! I would recommend to anyone and will be going back again! I loved the fresh mozzarella roasted tomato pesto chicken sandwich. ... ”
“ Cool place with a unique menu. Food was good and so was the service. The owner came and asked how everything was and he was so nice. The menu changes during the seasons and they also have daily specials. We will be back to try more! ”
“ This place is AMAZING! I love love love their cheese curds and these ones hit the spot. I flew in from New York City to spend the weekend in Green Lake and popped over to this pub for dinner. I also had their Harvest salad with FRESH salad dressing (that's hard to find in Wisconsin- sorry not sorry lol) super delicious! The owners were so friendly and greeted me with welcome arms. One of them was even from Long Island, NY so that makes me trust this spot even more. I even came back the next morning for their Reggae Brunch. The vibes popped off, so much fun. My friends and I had everything from Bloody Mary's to Aperol Spritz with a fat yummy plate of French toast. GO HERE I WILL BE FLYING BACK IN FOR THIS PLACE!! ”
