The drinks were a fun part of the evening. I had a couple of house Old Fashions that were full-flavored with the Cocoa bitters and made with the large round ice. The "Dealer's Choice" dealt a Huckleberry Mule that was perfect. Highly recommended! Pub 500 comes highly recommended!

I asked for water and asked her to disregard. I inquired about the fish and chips as I noted you can upgrade to get Walleye instead. Seemed like she had no idea what I asked as she gave the impression she thought it was something else other than fish. I ended up getting the cod as she recommended. Well, it tasted like frozen for a very long time. Chips- not the best. Instead of a bacon cheddar biscuit, the plate came with cornbread which was ok. Overall, probably a good place for drinks. Not sure I'll try again.

The real kicker was the woman running karaoke. My friends and I went to ask how many people until our turn to sing, it was pretty far back but the woman running it offered to bump us up pretty aggressively for money. After saying no and that I don't carry cash, she pushed that she had venmo. After refusing, she skipped our turn and let the next people sing. Ended up leaving, don't think I'll be returning based off of that experience alone. This was Friday July 18th, so if you were running karaoke and you're that broke, maybe consider bartending instead.
