| drpimento (55), La Crosse, Wisconsin | | October 3, 2009 Stopped in here a few weeks ago on a return to La Crosse from Madison. Nice drive 33. Place is right on the main drage and pretty easy to find. I was there mid- afternoon on a weekday and the only customer. The owner was there and a nice guy. My bartender was helpful, poured some small glasses of beer for me. I had a blackened bacon cheeseburger with fries and it was excellent although 1/3 pound was too much. My first beer was a cream ale and quite good, but the others weren’t so hot. Seems like maybe the malt bill is being scrimped on. Brewing system is 2 bbl. Prices were very reasonalble. Atmosphere is a combo sports bar, brew pub, corner cafe. Had six of their own beers, 4 guests and one root beer on draft. Some guest bottles too. Owner/brewmaster said he was working on an applebeer but didn’t have right yet. I might return someday if I’m in the neighborhood and want a cream ale. | | badgerben (79), Blaine, Minnesota | | November 4, 2005 This isn’t too far away from the Dells, but unless you’re planning on being in the area, I wouldn’t recommend trekking to find this one. The food smelled good and the place was definitely a semi-rural sports bar, but the beer just plain sucked. | | StewardofGondor (122), Washington Heights - Milwaukee, Wisconsin | | September 6, 2005 Obscure location in a small, quiet town. They don’t have a "sampler", per se, but they serve their beer in 8-oz. lager glasses for $1.50 a piece, so that’s good enough for me. Small, homey pub atmosphere. Only one person working there when we went. We only got the beer but the food that was cooking on the griddle next to the taps looked and smelled delicious. Most of the beer was sub par with a few anomalies that were enjoyable. I’d recommend not going out of the way for this one, only if you’re in the direct vicinity. | | DavidP (57), Milwaukee, Wisconsin | | April 9, 2005 A good place to go if you’re mired in the Dells. Admittedly I only had a sip of their IPA but I thought it was well done, I’m guessing the rest of their lineup is equally good. The staff was fun to hang out with. They do have food but I didn’t have any. |
