Charged $5.00 cover around 9:00 p.m. was told that it was to pay for the band. Around 10:30 p.m. A single guy got up and played about 5 songs then was done. At 11:30 p.m. still no band, when I asked the owner Cindy about not hearing a band, she was very rude and told me " well you heard music didn't you" After I stated this would be a good yelp review and that I was leaving and only after that was I offered my money back. I told her to keep it that she must need it more than I did. Three of us left and will not be back.

In fact, she never came back over again. We certainly won't be going back.

The bar is fully stocked with liquor and some beer, but as I mentioned before, the wine bar is the real gem at this location. When you arrive, you'll swap your credit card for a card that will allow you to access the self-service wine coolers. You'll walk up, choose your wine and the size of your pour for a certain price, and enjoy! At the end of the night, the bartenders will help you settle your tab and you can be on your way. There is seating at both the bar and about 5 tables, but you'll need to walk up to the bar to get food or beverages, if you're not utilizing the wine bar. I've never had an issue waiting more than 2-3 minutes to be acknowledged while waiting, but I've never been when it's been slammed busy so your mileage may vary. Both times I've been, there have been two bartenders on duty and that was plenty. All in all, this bar does elevate the downtown La Crosse area, I just wish the food options were more plentiful.
