I saw a lot of martinis and cocktails coming out of the bar. There are waitresses, but it looked like just 1 bartender. She was BUSY! Waitresses were just standing there while the 1 'tender was working her ass off. We sat at the bar and barely got service because she was so busy. I of course don't know how the place works, but it seems like someone could have helped her. We only stayed for 1 beer and left because we couldn't get any of the bartender's time. It would be a cool place to hang if maybe we sat at a table. (I felt out of place being in my Packer's gear.) I see they do live jazz music. That might be worth going back for someday.

Older clientele, i.e. not a college kid hangout unless you want to get away from everyone you know and drink yourself into a stupor for very little money. But everyone has been friendly the few times we have been and the bartender/owner is a really good guy. A bourbon and coke and a Schlitz on tap was a fiver including tip.

But upon walking in, you'll find a welcoming crowd of regulars, and a lonely looking bartender. After a beer or two, you begin to realize what a gem this bar is covered up by the pile of shit neighborhood that surrounds it. No, it's not a place where you are going to meet your next wife or girlfriend. And its not a place where you are going to have your next 5 star dining experience. However, this is place you can go with your friends to play a nice game of pool, darts, or watch your next football game on one of their big screens. BEST OF ALL, Mr. Stix allows you to drink yourself into blackout for pennies on the dollar. With taps at 1.25 a pop on a daily basis, 2.25 mixers daily and not to mention their happy hour specials, you cant beat it with a stick. And once you're feeling a little tipsy, have the bartender make you one of their pizzas or juicy burger on the coolest looking little grill in the La Crosse area. Mr. Stix will be sure to please if you give him a chance.

It comes in two colors: classic Blue as well as Purple. It takes at least four alcohol-tolerant college kids to knock one back - even then it takes a while. That's why it's the perfect start to the evening, you just sit around and pass the fishbowl. When it's done, you've got a buzz and it's time to eat the more packed bars. Popcorn, a pool table, and a foosball table sit in the back. Lots of fun to be had.

Instead of being helpful or welcoming, she was incredibly rude, snapped that I had already ordered, and immediately demanded my ID with a horrible attitude. I understand if there was a little miscommunication, but she made me feel so uncomfortable and unwelcome. Definitely won't be going back to this place!

She said that that's how they usually make them there (depite the fact that I could see her reading the recipe off of her phone) and made no offer to make it again, make something else, or take it off the bill. In fact, she never came back over again. We certainly won't be going back.
