my partner and I are new to the portage area so we've been trying to stop into as many local places…read moreas we can. today we stumbled upon the saloon and thought we would give it a try. we walked in and sat at the bar and after about 4 minutes the bartender came over and i asked if we could see a food menu and she asked for ID. I am 21, I am actually sober and had no interest in drinking, I often don't carry my ID on me because of this reason. I said I might have a photo of it but my phone was dead so i couldn't give her that. she refused to serve us after asking if we knew the owner (as if we had known the owner it would be fine?) so we ended up leaving. the only reason I'm writing this review is because there was a 7 year old sitting at the bar right next to us. We made it very clear we just wanted food and we're still refused service for lack of ID despite having a child sit there at the bar eating. I wish I would've lied and said I knew the owner because then I would be knee deep in some fries right now. Super disappointing. #WEDONTCARDANYONEUNDER10 #BRINGIDFORFRIES

If you're a wing person, this place deserves a spot on your radar…read more The setup is counter service -- think along the lines of Culver's. You walk up, place your order at the bar, grab a number, and find a table. Tables are first come, first served, so if you see one open, take it. Drinks are a cooler of options or beer and soda on tap. Cash is preferred -- there's a fee if you pay with a card. The vibe is Wisconsin dive bar, in the best way. I ordered the dry rub wings. The flavor was fantastic -- the kind where you don't need a sauce, but you reach for the ranch anyway because it's that good. Seriously, that ranch dressing could go on anything. My best friend got the original wings and said the heat level is comparable to BW3 medium -- noticeable but not overwhelming. If you like wings, Chicken Licks is worth the trip.

However, I was denied access to the restaurant because I had my service dog with me and he was not allowed to stay because the manager does not know what the laws are regarding service animals. He stood and argued with me and then I went out to my vehicle and then I decided I was going to show him what the law was so I went back in and showed him what I pulled up on Google for Wisconsin law regarding service animals and then he started backtracking and told me that he trained in Illinois and that is what he was trained. Well you lost a good customer and I will be telling everyone I know about my horrible experience. I did make a complaint with the police department and I plan to report it to further places because of the discrimination. He first tried to tell me I had to have paperwork on me at all times, and by law you are not even allowed to ask for paperwork, or to even ask if it's a service dog when they are wearing their service dog vest, which he was, you are also not allowed to ask what the disability is. I would hope that he reviews the Wisconsin laws and doesn't treat anyone else the way I was treated. I left in tears and I can guarantee I will not be back.

The Green Owl makes their own pizza dough and offered several interesting pizzas. We tried the Mr. Potatoehead (mashed potatoes, rosemary, bacon) and it was really good! Our son RAVED about the lobster mac 'n cheese from the upstairs restaurant and went promptly into a food coma. If you order off the upstairs menu, it will likely come later than anything ordered downstairs, so be patient. :) We were there at a bit after 5 on Valentine's Day and pretty much had our pick of places to sit. About 30 minutes later, a huge group of at least 20 came in and took up several tables.
