The place is the typical neighborhood bar with a covered patio for smokers and U shaped bar with a pool table in back and gaming machines. They have 12 taps with a nice selection for a neighborhood bar I thought. As I walked in for the first time I was greeted with a hello by a person at the gaming machine and everyone was friendly and I even got a complement from another person at the bar so it's a friendly place for first timers. As always I ordered agin Rickey and the bar tender had no idea what it is so I had to explain it to her. It looks like frozen pizza is all they have for hot food after watching a woman at the bar get cheese bread from the pizza oven. The TVs were playing a Sunday football game while I was there like most bars on Sunday. It was a nice place to have a cocktail with friendly people.

They've got a nice stocked bar, good choice of micro brews , great tapped beer selection and some pretty good bartenders that can mix up some great drinks!!! Spin a bike tire for a chance to win a drink, a shot, a 1/2 pot of money or nothing. But Spin!! It's a fun 2 bucks to spend!! There are plenty of TVs to watch sports, music channels and the jukebox to boot.( not an actual jukebox but TouchTunes ) They do have drink Specials and Happy Hour. There's an outside space with tables for those that still enjoy a smoke. There is fresh popcorn provided at no cost and they have a mighty tasty garlic cheese bread. And for baseball fans, they have shuttle busses that get you safely to and from the games so that you can keep your party going. Pool tables, darts, slots, plenty of entertainment.

This is a true Wisconsin drive bar. It was packed on a Saturday. There was one bartender for the…read morewhole bar, about 3 slot machines and a pull tab machine.

Many regulars but they are very friendly and don't shun strangers. The owner Mario is a hoot because he loves to play bar dice for shots. He's an old Italian guy who had some interesting ties to the Balistreri family if you catch my drift There is a cute outside seating area during the summers. Prices are very reasonable for a good pour. Every second Saturday of the month they have a raffle drawing plus meat raffles which is so Wisconsin. Don't come here looking for a craft cocktail because this isn't your place Grab a stiff drink, play some games of chance and meet some very friendly people. It's worth the little drive out of your way to find this hidden gem

It's a local dive bar and clearly a regulars place but they were friendly and said hi as I walked in. No food from what I could tell but one regular offered popcorn from the self serv machine which she says was a good batch this time. I live no near this place but as a local bar and I can see it's charm. I ordered a Gin Rickey and it looked dark after explaining twice to the bartender how to make it and it was absolutely awful because he made it with JB whisky and not Gin, whiskey, seltzer and lime juice with a fresh lime doesn't mix very well at all. My bartender miss heard me and corrected my drink with no problem. If I lived in the neighborhood I would probably be a regular.

It is the absolute perfect place for a nightcap. The vibes are warm, cozy, and candlelit. The bartender was outstanding. Their cocktail menu is surprisingly wonderful. We had a lovely time. I ordered a sazerac for my first cocktail. It was wonderful. It's a little heavier on the absinthe than some folks make it so something to note if you're not an absinthe lover. My husband got a Manhattan (which I tried) and it was pitch perfect. For my second cocktail, I got the revolver--coffee forward, strong, and delicious. My husband got a last word, which I also tried, and it was a beautifully herbaceous delight. Just when we think we've tried all the great cocktail bars in the area, one sneaks up and surprises and delights. Get to it!

My friends and I were attending a birthday party at the bar. We had a friend in town from Ireland so we wanted to talk with her but the music was so loud we had to yell to even hear each other. My friend asked if the music could be turned down a bit and one of the bartender's obliged. When the owner came back in he quickly turned back up the music. My friend politely asked the owner if he could turn is back down and that is when he started mocking her and saying "I can't hear you" and saying it is Friday night so let's party. Yes, it is your establishment and you are allowed to do what you want but I also have the ability to choose where I spend my money and I will NEVER step foot back into a place where the owner is messed up on drugs and alcohol and does not care about their patrons.

Very nice and courteous. Got to meet the owner, who is an extremely animated individual, good hearted but could be seen as brash to someone not accustomed to banter. The music was played loud by the owner, but he did take requests. Overall, made us feel very at home, but understand that this isn't for someone looking for a no-interaction-by-staff beer. This is a 'round the corner pub' of the old days that some of us midwesterners grew up on. I would definitely go again, and I wish this jewel of the area the best.

It's a clean looking dive bar full of regulars that didn't make you feel out of place and the young woman bar tending was very friendly. The young woman bar tending had the mouth of a sailor which I really liked, a real person and no dainty proper woman here. I felt like a Makers Mark which I asked if they had and she said let me look, she came back and said only Makers Mark 46. Ok let me get this straight, the dive bar doesn't have regular Makers Mark but they have the more expensive Makers Mark 46 OK. The game was playing on several TVs all over the bar which everything was into and it was not the packers playing. The sign on the wall had limited pizza options for food and all frozen I'm sure. Sundays are $3 mini pitchers of domestic beer which most people were having judging by how many were on the bar and the tip off to me asking if it was a special today. Overall it's a nice neighborhood dive bar with friendly people where you can hav a drink and relax.

I believe we had two wonderful bartenders who took our order and quickly brought back out drinks. Great service, dimly but warmly lit (which I love to help me avoid migraine triggers), lots of conversation and chattering going on around us. Also, PINBALL!

The have an impressive selection of WI beers, a great (and generous) old fashioned, and awesome trivia night. The bar was busy and the bartender eventually learned my name which I had zero expectation of since there were so many people. Love the vibe inside, the decor was cool and the trivia host even joked that maybe you'd find an answer to a question in all of it. For the trivia, I really appreciated the format. 3 rounds, each with 2 categories of questions. There aren't really long drawn out breaks in between questions which keeps things moving. They do take a break between each round, which is perfect so you can grab your next drink. The categories are fun and challenging. Losers get to pick a category for next week which I think is a fun twist as long as the category isn't super niche. But I guess that is the advantage of you are the loser that shows up the next week to play. Overall fantastic experience. I would recommend Blackbird to anyone who wants a hipster dive or a fun night of trivia.
