Went here for a fish fry on Friday, don't you know. An urgent situation arose leaving me in a…read moredifficult position .... When my fork proceeded past the delicate breading on my huge piece of cod (only $20!!), some of the delicious, white fish dropped to the bottom of my bowl where only onion rings resided. Jammed in tight next to an onion ring. I risked it all, bravely hooked the onion ring and the cod chunk (together!) on my fork, dipped it all in tartar sauce (you get 2), and ate it. What was the result? It was delicious so I did it again! I am thinking of getting French fries next time and deliberately hooking a fry and the cod together and dipping it in tartar sauce.

Patsy's serves up some delicious eats and their patio? All blooming, shaded loveliness. The first thing to note is that if you're dining on the patio, you'll want to run inside and grab some menus. You'll order at the bar. For my dinner I ordered their patty melt served on marbled rye, which was everything a patty melt ought to be (so good!). For my side, I opted for the onion rings which were battered (I prefer this over breaded) and perfectly crispy. Zero complaints on the pub grubtastic food. I also ordered an whiskey old fashioned, which was prepared in the Wisconsin style and was great. The service was also lovely. When I was ordering, the gentleman in front of me explained that he had been coming here for 30 years and it's the same guy behind the bar--amazing. Also, I totally accidentally left my purse on the patio (I only had one drink--just a complete oopsie moment). I didn't realize until the next morning. When I called, they had it stashed behind the bar for me and I was even able to pick it up prior to their opening. Really, above-and-beyond lovely folks working here. Get to it!
