There are more than a few places to sit, a surprising amount and there is a lot of history here. I believe it's the oldest continually operating Barr in Wisconsin.

It was a quiet morning there and we were hopeful that would mean a great breakfast. The staff was super friendly and quick but the food really lacked. I had the classic-just a basic 2 eggs, bacon, hash browns and an English muffin. I ordered the eggs medium and they were so hard. The muffin was cold and the hash browns were greasy old and inedible. I think this place does deserve a stop-even of its just for drinks. It's an iconic locale and great history.

Space to move around, and if you're drinking alone, no pressure to engage in conversation. The dive element is there, but hidden by cleanliness. You can almost fool yourself into thinking that you're at mom and pop restaurant instead of a mom and pop bar. Low-key and friendly. Sandy, the owner, was our bartender for the visit. She was very nice while talking us up. Sandy seems happy with the clientele, and they seem to like her too. The fact that she had the time for conversation will tell you how busy the place was, or more to the point, wasn't. As sleepy as Main Street in Mayberry. Otis didn't make an appearance. Stop in and pound a couple, then mosey across the street to Starrs for a couple more. Sounds like a fun filled afternoon to me. Quick Tip: I don't expect anyone to read this review, seeing how Mallalieu Inn has been open for a century, and this is only the second review on Yelp. I know, it's a bit tongue in cheek, but heck, Yelp has been around for like 20 years. Taking that into consideration, low-key may be a couple levels too high!

Unpretentious local neighborhood dive bar - inexpensive, honest - come as you are…read more This is the only place I've been to in Hudson that I feel is a genuinely unpretentious place. They don't pretend to be anything they aren't. It's a blue collar place that has beer in bottles, soda in cans, basic food that's good and cheap and served in a basket. Mallalieu was named after the lake that's behind the building. It was opened in 1908 by George Starr. This son, Ernest, opened the "Starr's Bar" across the street after prohibition ended. There's a lot of local history here. The owner is the also the bartender, the server, the chief cook and bottle washer. She's personable and good at what she does. After talking to a few people it looks like I should come back on Wednesday night for the steak fry or Friday night for the fish fry. Thanks, Mallalieu Inn! -Daddy Maxx Retro

They have ton of tvs on the rooftop to watch sports, etc. They also have huge see through panels to protect you from the elements. Weather can change in an instance. Food: We ordered the Gouda chicken nachos with guac. It was decadent. So delish. Highly recommend. We also had jalapenos on the side so those that love them can enjoy them. Also ordered a size of fries which were okay. Drinks: I ordered a mason jar cocktail of the pina colada (not blended). I don't remember seeing the cost on the menu for their cocktails and didn't realize it was going to be in a Large mason jar. I thought it would be in a smaller sized one. Anyways it was fine and tasted good but $25 for a cocktail was steep but it was also like having 2 cocktails. Look forward to coming back and trying an entree.
