This is the real deal. Friendly service too! My only suggestion would be to add a kid-friendly pizza. Something much smaller in cheese so 3/4 of it won't end up in a to-go box would be nice. However, I understand if a restaurant has no intention of catering to kids and don't expect everyone to do so. I just know we would be more frequent visitors if options were available.

Two Fathoms Brewing is an independent craft brewery in Winona, MN, located in a restored 1883 freight station in the historic Driftless region. they offer a rustic taproom experience with some great brews. "Anybody Want a Peanut?": A Porter made with real peanut butter and milk chocolate giving it the depth of flavor with none of the artificial tastes. New Riders of the Pilsner Haze: A New Zealand Pilsner hopped with Nectaron, Nelson Sauvin, and SubZero Hop Kief. The Owl Farm Experiment: An Experimental IPA brewed with Strata, Mosaic, and Galaxy. Tropical fruit smacks you in the face with citrus and peach coming in the next round. The Diesel Fitzgerald: A Dunkel using Midnight Wheat and Dark Munich malts. It is a beautiful Dark Wheat lager that is light in bodied but full in flavor. Crooked Slough: A Barrel Aged Stout aged Eighteen Months in Bourbon Barrels that were still wet with Vermont Maple Syrup. Very maple forward, but not hot or overly sweet. ___

So, why the low rating, you might ask. Well, as much as I loved the decor and vibe, the service and food just wasn't there. Trust me, I so wanted to walk away with that warm and fuzzy, but instead it was cold and "Meh." It was about 1 p.m. on a Wednesday afternoon. When my group first arrived it was pretty empty. Maybe 6 other people tops in the entire place. There was 8 of us, and we went into the back room where we could eat and also have a meeting. Ideal, right? Well the server (also the bartender), was nice enough, but she really didn't know the menu very well, and it's pretty simple. Nevertheless, we ordered drinks, then we were served said drinks in a timely fashion, and then ordered food. All good so far! The glitch? Our meals were piece mailed to us, if you will. A couple individual appetizers here, then one person would get his burger, then another. At one point about 5 of the 8 of us had completely finished our meals when the last 3 just got theirs. I'm sorry, but that's NOT how it's done. It's not cool! I don't think it was the server's fault, but the cook just didn't know how to multitask I guess. This is common restaurant style cooking, everyone gets their food roughly at the same time. That's why it's referred to as "Sharing a Meal." Now that nice young lady tried, but she could have easily sold me a second bloody marry, and almost all of my eating mates' beers were empty and she never once asked if we wanted another round. In addition to not satisfying the customer, that actually cost the owner money. The food? Pedestrian! I'm sorry, I know, I know. How dare I? Look, I'm new to Wisconsin, so all I have to go buy is what I know. And I know that I recently fell in love with the burger chain Culver's. Those burgers are the bomb! And they're "Fast Food." So surely a cool Sparta sports bar with amazing ambiance can match a fast food burger joint, right? Wa wa wa, wrong! I had a patty melt and it was small and dare I say, boring, and a little dry. Once again, I wanted so badly to love this joint, but they let me down. Maybe it was an off day? I hope so, because if they're enjoying the limited options this cool little town has and just mailing it in, that's not cool either. Nevertheless, you be the judge. Hopefully you'll have a better experience than we did. Cheers!

After seeing a facebook post last week that included a glimpse of their taps i decided to make time to stop in today, Friday. I was suspecting a Townie bar.... pleasantly surprised to find that was not the case. It is a welcoming cabin-esque vibe upon entering then you're greeted by friendly bartenders! They have a nice selection of spirits as well as a tap selection to please any palate. I was headed to lunch so i didnt even browse a menu. I did glance at the specials board which listed a few soup offerings and a parmasean crusted cod. I will definitely be back. Thanks Cotter Pin for a pre-lunch beer served by a friendly bartender in a welcoming setting, cheers!

We opted for 2 versions of the darkest on tap, one of which was BA - both were solid and the service was really good, as was the music and the overall vibe, which I'll credit to the turtle decor and merch ; ) There was no food that I saw, so, eat before or after. There are plenty of options for that nearby. Samples are readily available, too. Try before ya buy.

I've always liked the Sparta side of Fort McCoy better than Tomah, as it just seems more like an individual small town versus a big-box thoroughfare. What a wonderful recommendation, I had a fantastic visit. My co-worker can second the old fashioneds! Staff was super friendly and service was attentive. Clearly there are locals and regulars coming in that know each other by name, but being out-of-towners we were still treated the same and welcomed. We sat at the bar (always my preference), but there is plenty of restaurant seating if you come here with a group or with your family. They have a decent beer selection on tap, and the menu can cover pretty much all appetites. I ordered the veggie burger, which was somewhat generic but nevertheless tasty and I ate the whole thing. Overall, I'd say the food here is good - maybe nothing crazy unique, but good, especially with the somewhat limited options in the area if you want to stay away from chains and fast food. I will absolutely be back for another dinner and continue to try out options on the menu. I'd really love to do the fish fry if I'm ever here on a Friday night. But, who needs dinner when you have dessert?! OMG I'd seen some photos of their desserts online, and even though I'm not usually a dessert person, these photos drove me here that night! Wow. The Brandy Alexander is absolutely incredible. It's large but my co-worker and I each ordered our own (and finished it completely). Anyone can make a Brandy Alexander you sip from a cup... but this was like a soft serve goblet of ice cream with the booze mixed in throughout. The BEST. I will be back here every time I'm in the area just for this (and then good food and beer is always a nice add-on).
