I have been driving past this place for years and since it was a lazy Saturday and work was done…read moreearly I decided to stop over check them out. The bartender was very friendly but once again didn't know what a gin Rickey was but that's ok because no one has so far. The place is your typical Wisconsin dive bar with the bar and tables around it. Tons of TVs and a pool table with chance machines. One very cool thing which is smart is that they give you a small basket of salty chips that looked like sour cream and chive, salt doesn't really make you drink more but some people might. The windows let in lots of natural light so it's not a dungeon feel. I think the table in back was enjoying playing gin because they kept shuffling a deck of cards. It's clearly a neighborhood hang out where everyone knows each other like most all bars and I'm the outsider because I'm always stopping at new places because it's who I am. I completely enjoyed my visit and I'm probably coming back since it's close to work.

I think stick to what you do well is the name of the game. Chicken wings are one of the menu items. There are multiple choices for sauce. The hot is the closest to what I think of as Buffalo Wings. They were crispy, hot, and juicy. The flavor of the sauce was good, but they weren't as covered in the sauce as I would have liked. The bartender who was also the cook (and I very nice fellow) said that the Spicy BBQ and Garlic Parmisan are his favorite. I will be back to try those.

Go next door to County Claire for delicious food.

Looks like my work schedule isn't changing any time soon so off on Monday is the norm for now and with so many places closed I'm finding out maybe Monday will become a drink in a new place that doesn't have much Yelp exposure or pictures, I can't eat out all the time like I used to but I still want to participate in Yelp. Today was Capt'n Nicks turn for a Steve stop by to check them out. I got rockstar parking at the front door which was cool. This is another neighborhood dive bar and I will try not to do dive bars only. The place is locals and they didn't me feel out of place at all and the woman bartender was friendly and sassy with the patrons, l like when there is a cool personality behind the bar instead of grumpy. Monday is some $1 dollar can special domestic I'm sure and not that I'm snob but my tastes have grown past that to the gins, bourbons and cocktails etc. I'm still a fan of the beer and burger lunch but cocktails is where I'm gravitating to as I get older. I have yet to meet a bartender who knows what a gin Rickey is, it started in the 1890s and it was very popular but no one drinks them today, it's a 0 sugar cocktail and if you're trying to keep your A1C level in check it's perfect. Yes she had no idea of how to make it so I had to explain the drink to her. Overall it's a friendly neighborhood dive bar with a great sassy short hair woman bartender who gives it back to you which makes for good bar banter.

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.

With all the cool trendy places on Oakland I was surprised to see a dive bar in the area so how could I not go in. The place is a dive bar that's old with a cool glass block wall as you walk in and the era correct dark wood panel walls. It's two rooms separated by the bar with the bar area in front and the pool room area in back. We probably had the most expensive two drink order of the day at $17 for two Makers Mark drinks judging by the domestic drunk mini pitcher girl at the bar. For a valentines we were the only couple in the place and I was reminded thats why they are here and it was it a great mix of people from the drunk regular woman to the guy who left and returned to smell the place up with weed. The bartender was pretty cool because he was handing out chocolate kisses to all of us. The four stars are because it was a dive bar that totally lived up to the dive bar experience and I kind of like that from time to time.
