I don't think I could love this place any more if I tried! We were staying in Appleton for a game…read moreup at Lambeau, and we found Cleo's just wandering the streets looking around. The painted window saying "Home of the Dirty Snowball" absolutely piqued my interest! LOL! Actually, it was that, plus the two giant nutcracker decorations out front that caught my eye. I'm a fan of (Christmas) holiday decorations, so I wanted to see what else they had, after spying some string lights through the window. Inside, it's like a wonderland of holiday cheer! Lights and ornaments and decorations everywhere! Sitting at the bar under the lights, I really felt like I'd discovered some secret bar under the Christmas tree! The staff were friendly, helpful, and quick with the libations! Kind of that "keep it real" attitude, but not in the rude way... in the honest and up front way! There is no food to speak of, save for a Chex-pub mix blend, but the drinks are why you want to visit! The famous Dirty Snowball is like a shake, but without ice cream, made with cocoa and related liqueur flavors (I can't remember what-all is in it, but it's GOOOOOOOD!). I highly recommend it! I also tried the Cleo's Trio, which is one part Dirty Snowball, one part Brandy Old Fashioned, and one part Suffering Bastard, I think? Not in the same glass! But, more like a flight. You get a little taste of Wisconsin or at least Appleton. Each drink is basically a full version, though, so you might need only one! I don't know what your favorite bar looks like, but if I lived in Appleton, this one would be mine. I would be in there at least once a week, if for no other reason the ambiance and the company. Great people, great drinks, and a legacy for holiday décor that I hope lives on forever!

I only took a few pics because I was too involved watching the Packers game and chatting with my niece and her friends. It was as loud and raucous while the game was on, but cleared out pretty quickly afterward. I assume it was because the Packers didn't win, however, the hosts were friendly and brought food around for everyone to sample and everyone was having a great time. The Ladder House was clean and had all the trappings of being a great, fun place to meet and enjoy a drink with friends. They have a lot of TV's so you can see the game from almost every angle. The beer is cold, the patrons are hot and I will be back.

So I was surprised when I searched for a Bloody Mary in a Facebook group for local restaurants and many people recommended the Flagstone. I looked at the menu and found lots of interesting breakfast options and decided we would try it. It was a Saturday morning and the parking lot had lots of cars and people had already started gathering for the Badgers football game, but there were a few open tables. We ordered Bloody Mary's and had a great server. The Bloody's were delicious and I would recommend them. We ordered a breakfast burrito and it was amazing!
