I first stumbled upon this place in December of 2018. My wife and I had just gotten married at the…read morecourthouse in Mauston, we were staying at the Best Western for 5 or so days and didn't have the budget for an elaborate honeymoon. So we went down to the lounge to have some drinks and celebrate the start of our lives together. We were greeted by a truly friendly bartender and a small handful of locals and passerbys. Everyone there was more then happy to join in on the celebrating the occasion with us. Fast forward 3 years to today, we are back in Mauston visiting family and decided to stop into the Emerald Lounge and reminisce on our first night in here 3 years ago as newlyweds. Different Bartender, different faces, same friendly environment. I can not recommend this place enough.

This place is pretty nice. It's the 3rd time we have been here. Drinks are cold they have a bunch…read moreof TVs and something different on each one. The pizzas are very good here! We were there for the weekend staying at the Best Western attached on a Friday and Saturday. We loved the first bartender we had Connie on Friday she was very friendly and nice to everyone she was great. She always has been a good bartender every time we have been there and she was there we were excited to still see her there. Not so much with the next person that came in I'm pretty sure she has never bartended before and could use a course on customer service. We were not at all impressed with her. She was working on Saturday night when we went back up there. We thought we would give her another chance that lasted about an hour and we went somewhere else in town. They need to look at getting a different bartender before they lose more customers. We won't be going there when she is working if we do decide to go back.

Feeling adventurous, I ordered a drink with lots of ingredients I'd never heard of. The bar tender was fantastic and made the drink while explaining to me the different flavors of each ingredient. The ambiance easily deserves its own paragraph. I loved the unique and inviting seating, the board game shelf, the record player, and the old piano near the entryway. There's also a performance room, and I wish I'd had the chance to see it in action! According to the bar tender, they host plays, music, and even drag shows! Rarely do I find such a treasure in rural Wisconsin. I can't wait to return, hopefully someday soon!

I saw a lot of martinis and cocktails coming out of the bar. There are waitresses, but it looked like just 1 bartender. She was BUSY! Waitresses were just standing there while the 1 'tender was working her ass off. We sat at the bar and barely got service because she was so busy. I of course don't know how the place works, but it seems like someone could have helped her. We only stayed for 1 beer and left because we couldn't get any of the bartender's time. It would be a cool place to hang if maybe we sat at a table. (I felt out of place being in my Packer's gear.) I see they do live jazz music. That might be worth going back for someday.

I was supposed to be meeting a group elsewhere nearby when our original place closed without warning. So we headed to The Mason and it was a delightful experience. It was very busy with one bartender, so it took awhile to get your drinks, but they were still well made and the bartender was very friendly. It's a small place so it can get loud when busy, but our group had a great time and we enjoyed the place. It is a dark, neighborhood type vibe. And the sealing the deal of the 5th star for this place is that they were dog friendly. My pup had a great time getting pets from customers. Great find!

There is an older jukebox available to play music, and the sound in that place was really great. They were closed during the pandemic I believe, but now they are open again. A week after we visited there someone vandalized the back or side of the building with graffiti, which is unfortunate! It's a swank place, and I hope that more people realize just how much fun it is to be there. The seats seem kind of retro and has a lot of big wide curves to it. I hope that the musty smell can get cleared out somehow because that's a little overwhelming, but I think it's just from being closed up for so long. We will definitely be back! Bummed I didn't take pictures, but I'll definitely update with pictures when we go back!

I had a brew from the great selection and the bartender was super nice and told us about the place! Sounds like it might only be open for shows and weekends but If I lived here I I would come to hang out all the time! This is a cool bar amongst the coolest bars I have ever been in and I was here at 4 in the afternoon! I bet it gets really awesome at 10pm!

The place gets swamped on Friday and Saturday nights. And it's totally worth the wait, folks! We both had the Grilled Haddock with Red Jacket Potatoes. It also came with salad bar with soup. The haddock was delicious! It was moist, tender, flaky and seasoned well. It came with a side of melted butter, but I didn't even touch it as it wasn't needed. Other dinner companions had the fried cod sandwich and also loved it. It's nearly as large as two sandwiches in one. This place also makes excellent pizza and loads of sandwiches. A nice variety for sure.
