Cute little spot that I discovered from other Yelpers! Even some of my local Rockford peeps had not…read moreheard of this gem. Looking at other postings, it appears that they change cocktails regularly which is fun. I tried one of their vodka cocktails and it was tasty. Cocktails are priced between $10-$14. I asked to sample their other vodka prior to purchasing a bottle to go. At time of review they had a dill pickle vodka (surprisingly tasty!, good for bloody marys) and a horseradish vodka (not a fan) Service was super friendly. They also have some non-alcoholic options. It was a little dark coming up the drive at night. I will definitely return.

New Shoes is a duo we've seen before and the guitar player sounds just like Neil Young. I enjoyed a lemon lavender martini although I couldn't really taste the lavender as much as I would have liked. It was a generous pour. The food coming out looked good so we will be back next time hungry. They had a private event also going on but it didn't spoil the fun for the rest of us because it was located further back in a tent and separate bar. Really great place to enjoy yourself.

I like Death's Door stuff. I really do…read more Although it's easy for me to only think about GLD stuff - having an amazing distillery a stone's throw from my house? Ridiculous... - there are a few other good spirits that hail from our lovely Wisco... Death's Door being one of them. I've always found their vodka to be clean, their gin to be round and delightful, and their white whisky? Well, I can't speak to that, cause I've not had it. (I'm sort of leery of clear whisk(e)ies. Not sure why... just doesn't seem right.) At any rate, I think their gin may be my favorite. GLD gin is my absolute favorite, but Death's Door is super solid, too. Juniper, coriander, and fennel, w/out being transparent about it. It's nice and balanced and like I said, round. Approachable. Words that describe things that are good... add more of them here. Though I've not physically been, four stars for a solid product that hails from my beloved Dairyland!

Hello! Let me tell you the story of how our mother-daughter haunted tour date almost got ruined…read more My grandma bought my mom, my aunt, and me tickets for Amelia's Galena Ghost Tours at 6 p.m. There was nothing anywhere saying we needed to arrive early. We got there right at 6, parking directly behind the DeSoto house where the website said we would be meeting -- but there was no bus in sight. We started running around trying to find it, even went to their store, only to find the door locked and no one around. About 20 minutes later, my mom called to explain that we had arrived on time but no one was there. The lady on the phone said they had waited 20 minutes for us, looked for us, and then left. But if she had really been waiting, we would have seen her -- and definitely would have seen the bus! When my mom asked if we could move to the 7 p.m. tour instead, the lady said no because she "can't just give up the empty seats," and she wasn't very kind about it either. Eventually, she texted us later saying we could join the 7:30 p.m. tour for free. We decided to wait at a nearby restaurant and have a drink before the tour. We left around 7:12 to find the bus, got on, and they departed at 7:20. (10 minutes early) Our tour guide, Emily, was great -- she was super sweet and friendly. The driver (maybe the boss?) didn't seem as welcoming; she never spoke to us once and only talked during the investigation at the haunted house they own.

If I had been more proactive, I would have avoided spending time and money on this tour. My family of 6 was over $200... definitely not worth the money. After the tour, I sat down to write/read the reviews. Each negative review repeatedly said the same thing, so I decided not to repeat what has already been said. Apparently, these negative reviews have not made any difference because nothing has changed. I guess I just don't understand how a company can be satisfied knowing so many customers are dissatisfied.

Not a big cocktail person but the choices made me reconsider... but I stuck to trying a flight of spirits. My go to is bourbon. Wow! Very pleased. They have small pours of not only whiskey but 8 other spirits . Over 60 choices. Most $2 to $3 some a bit more some less. My 8 choices came to $14! I can't get a drink in my area for that price! This to me is the perfect situation. I can try other spirits I have not given a chance without spending a ton! I have never been to a place like this. Unfortunately I am almost 3 hrs away. Nels was awesome to chat with and he and Ben made the visit fun. In speaking with Nels, he can modify any of the drinks to interest and is very creative if you are adventurous. The other customers there were fun to talk to and the guitarist was awesome. Please try it out! Love this place.
