When we arrived for dinner, the parking in front was packed..... That's a good sign. The restaurant occupies a very large footprint, actually it's quite enormously. Seating choices are reminiscent of Goldilocks and the three Bears...... Tables for large groups, smaller tables and even booths that we found were just right. Outside seating is offered too. The booth offered a view of the many large screen televisions and of the brewing vats that were clearly labeled. My lovely bride wasn't sure which brew to try and Gina said "I'll bring you a sample".....it was their Cool City Light Lager...that was outstanding. For myself I ordered a traditional Wisconsin, Brandy Old Fashioned Sweet that was excellent too. It now was time for food choices and there were many choices. We choose Loaded Nachos, with a Cool City twist. Nacho chips with beer cheese, pico, chives, avocado, and bell pepper crème. A very unique combination that was great and kudos for originality. For dinner my wife ordered the Slider Burger Flight, three mini burgers with unique toppings (I could list them, however it would be better if you used the link to the business) Suffice it to say the mini burgers were the most generously sized and a take home box was needed. For myself it was the Cedar Planked Salmon that came with fries, slaw, tartar sauce and the best buttered rye bread. The food, service and selection.... all were outstanding! Gina showed such pride in her restaurant and went above and beyond to create a wonderful dinner experience. I highly recommend dining at Cool City Brewing Company.

Zero complaints since their opening!!! Well, ok, just one. Sooooo many customers one night sadly ended our visit. NOT their fault, just their popularity!!! They also have some clothing, and other things on the side for sale that I've bought! Softest hoodie ever! No exaggeration! Cool environment, bar (big beer manufacturing) and their tables! Additionally, staff are SO SO SO nice! Since COVID, some folks are afraid of working at Pubs & restaurants so I'm guessing , 90% of them are short staffed. Don't hold it against ANY pubs and restaurants, be patient. Bartending put me through college and now? No tax on tips, wow See my photos!

I'll first review the bar itself I'll give it to this place tho, we always seem to have a good time either watching a game on their 4 - 5 TVs, playing pool, shuffleboard, or darts. Whenever we have visitors in town who are looking to pass the time instead of them staying at the hotel, Hops Haven seems to be at the very least a final 3 choice. We recently had some visitors and we actually stayed there until 2:30 in the morning. Surprisingly we weren't the only ones there - as there are regulars who stay even later than us nightly. The seating is also open where you can have your own private bar tables/stools, and there is also a dining area - which never really gets filled. Now to the food. This is your typical Sheboygan and small town Wisconsin bar food. Offering a wide range of burgers, Hops Haven seems to be a place where you can grab a sandwich or burger to go along with the wide range of beer on tap and/or bottle. My latest trip to Hops Haven, we ordered cheese curds to share and I had their signature burger with bacon, cheese, and egg all between a Sheboygan Hard Roll bun. They also offer sweet potato fries, pub chips or fries to go along with the burger. Between the burger/fries and the chest curds, the meal was filling and enough to hold it down for the rest of the night to drink (for my colleagues at least).

Got service from the owner or whoever that blonde older lady is but she may be the rudest bartender or owner I ever met. If you have a remotely young looking face, prepare to be carded, which is fine but when I was reached out my hand to take my Id back and she threw it past my hand on to the counter which was a red flag I should've have seen already. When I expressed my displeasure respectfully with it she started raising her voice and threatening to call the police, pretty much exploded on me. What also didn't help was some drunk middle-aged redneck dude tried to act like a tough guy and ask me what my problem is, not knowing at all what is happening in our conversation and is far luckier my friends talked me out of stepping outside to serve him a knuckle sandwich. The physical cash only thing was previously explained by others which is also a problem. Overall, pretty bad bar when it comes to other bars in that area which are considerably better, especially don't recommend if your young or a college student.

When I visited, I visited solely for beer. And that's pretty much all they have, because this place isn't a restaurant, it's a brewery. They do have a few nibbly things like soft pretzels, but that's about it. Our bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable about the Elkhart Lake area (she gave us some food tips), and she got to everyone's orders quickly. The brewery itself is fun and casual, with lots of seating indoors and outdoors.

I enjoyed hearing other tables giggle when their food was brought out. Everyone finding joy in how large the serving size is. Service was fantastic, and our food came out quickly. I ordered mini corndogs and they totally hit the spot. I had family members even stealing some because you don't always see mini corndogs on the menu. There are about 3 parking spots in the front of the building, street parking, or potentially another parking lot behind/beneath the building (I didn't investigate this). The front of the restaurant isn't overly large, so we didn't have a hard time finding front row parking. When visiting again I'd make it a point to visit Frankies Pub again.

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 was certainly surprised how big this place was - tons of seating at the sprawling bar, big booths, low tops, and on the patio. The hostess wasn't the friendliest gal around, but she did get us quickly seated. Our server however was super sweet and attentive! She kindly took the order for our kiddos first, as they were starving and ready to eat. We split an order of the mac n cheese for them and let me tell ya that was plenty! A big skilled came out filled with cavatappi-style noodles, lathered in a cheesey sauce. We also got them honey glazed carrots and applesauce as sides. Needless to say, it was all demolished by our little guys. I had a glad of the pinot noir which was delightful, and hit the spot on a crisp fall afternoon. As for ordering dinner, that was a tough one because they have quite the variety of good options. In the end I chose the mahi mahi tacos - great pick. Another very generous portion. Three massive tacos with very good size fish pieces in each. They were blackened and topped with a spicy pico salsa of sorts. My head was bigger than my stomach attempting to eat them all, because they really were tasty. My husband went with the crispy chicken sandwich and said he'd wished it came with a sauce, as it was fairly dry, but he ate it nonetheless. Prices here are a tad on the high side imo, but there are plenty of good selections for both food & drink. I think my fave thing about this restaurant was that it's all open-air, with the huge garage doors opening up to face the boats. Such welcoming vibes, especially this time of year!

I (along with 3/4 of the table) appreciated the option to get German Potato Salad or Potato Pancakes instead of the standard fries. The buttered marble rye was also a hit with most. I stopped eating the perch on piece 2 of 4. I went to the potato pancakes, which were pretty good, as was the German Potato Salad. The coleslaw was ok. While I'm not mad at $80 after tip. Service was alright. Water was filled once empty. Bill was brought out promptly. No mention of dessert & I spaced it out. Since we're now 2hrs away... oops
