The space is divided in two parts -- where there is a stage and where there is a bar. We arrived on time for the event and it was standing room only -- well, squished room only. The place was clearly over capacity and still more people were being let in -- group after group. There certainly were not enough places to sit, but to stand was difficult too. There are some places to sit, but they need to either increase seating and make it more like a concert or take seating away almost entirely and have everybody stand. The current set up is not safe for emergencies either. We couldn't even get to the bar to order anything, it was so cramped. What a disappointing birthday gift for our friend. We will not return, but I understand other people might be okay with this kind of vibe.

Need a traditional felted Tyrolean hat, they've got you covered. We had a great time wandering around the store and collecting a few items that made us happy. On our exploration, we discovered the well stocked tap room in the back of the store and enjoyed a long Thursday "off season" conversation at the bar with the owner, John. This conversation was only made better with a guided tour of the well decorated bathroom and some serious kitten time with the two rescued shop kittens in residence, Shark and Sardine. The Rusty Raven did not disappoint and should absolutely be a destination on your next trip to New Glarus!

They had some antiques sprinkled in with a lot of new merchandise (stickers, mugs, coonskin koozies, greeting cards, books, games, magnets, bags, and wallets). They also had some candy including candy cigarettes and cold beverages, plus a side room where some people were hanging out and having some drinks. There was a lot of stuff packed into the little shop, and it's worth a stop.

We have come here a couple of times for lunch and have always left happy. Now my main issue (and the only reason I rated 3 stars) is because there are some questionable food handling practices going on in the kitchen. When you walk in there is a long bar to the right, and right behind it in full view is the flat top grill. Now in my opinion this is great, as I can see exactly how my food is being prepared. But it's also not so great when the cook grabs a raw meat patty with her bare hands, slaps it on the grill, and then proceeds to go about her business without ever washing her hands. I watched her cook my entire meal (and probably other's) without ever washing her hands or putting on gloves. Not appealing. All in all it's good food, but I'm not sure the risks of getting sick from unsanitary food handling practices are worth it.

After talking to our wonderful waitress and telling her it's our first time here, she suggested to us the Ribeye Philly Sandwich and the Aloha Burger and the Cheese Curds for an appetizer. After looking at the menu for a few minutes, I chose the Ribeye Philly Sandwich and Jr chose the Junction burger. We both subbed fries for the chips and also ordered a 1/2 order of onion rings and the Cheese Curds. The Cheese Curds were amazing. I've never had such great tasting cheese curds before. The onion rings were cooked perfectly. Both our sandwiches were outstanding. We both said "were coming back here again". Gotta try more stuff here! Thank you!

We grabbed a table in the spacious bar/ restaurant section. The staff was friendly and helpful. I tried one of their many beers which was quite good. My wife ordered the carnitas burrito which was large and tasty. I opted for the chicken wings which were different since they were just coated in a rub and not in a sauce. I got the extra spicy rub with a side of the jalapeño dipping sauce. They were good though a bit small and I prefer ones coated in a sauce. The wings' price was very good at one dollar each. Most places charge way more for wings these days. It would be fun to stop here when the weather is nice to sit outside on their patio.

The place was packed for a Thursday night, and, movie-esque, when PIC and I entered, all eyes were on us. (We WERE wearing flannel, but not locals.) Apparently most were there for a birthday party. However, soon all patrons were welcoming and chatty with us. There was only one bartender/server/busser who was busting his butt doing triple duty. He was friendly and quick (as he could be) to take orders and refills. The curds were terrific! Warmy and gooey, with a panko-crust. Spotted Cow on draft, in throwback commercial pint glasses. Reuben was spot on except needed more meat!! Unfortunately, bartender didn't honor free New Glarus tokens. Wah wah wahhhhh. FYI. Prices were cheap enough though, and I didn't make a fuss.

This spot was formerly a lumber yard and now it's a very open public gathering spot with a bar, stage, bar games and plenty of seating. The place is huge with plenty of spaces for multiple, multiple groups to hang out. The inside is barn like with a high ceiling and cool exposed beams/wood work all over. The bar had a couple big screen TVs playing boxing and very out of place chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The sign says no public restrooms but the building next door has them and the winter time building because the great space has no heat. The bar has some taps with drink specials and most everyone was having domestic can beers for the most part. I had something my buddy ordered beer wise which I don't even know what it was but I liked it. I didn't see any food options and I thought at least get a pizza oven and serve pizzas to keep people from leaving and the $$ in the building.

We've been going here for relaxed and fun weekend evenings since we moved to Albany and love Center. Colleen and Gary are the owners, very loving and caring people. They are incredibly generous in the community and donate so much back. It's always a pleasure to spend money here, knowing how invested they are. On the weekends, it can get very crowded and fun, especially during games or football season. It used to be very smokey sometimes and that often kept us away. With the smoking ban, it's gotten better but, the last couple of times I was there, people were still smoking inside. Hence the four stars. That said, it is always fun. The bar tenders, especially Colleen, are so attentive and fun to talk with. They treat everyone like they are special. On the weekends, you do tend to get a lot of folks from out of town, and they can get rowdy but, it's fun rowdy. Kereoke night is very entertaining!
