The Abbey is one of my favorite places in Menomonie. Not only is the atmosphere really cool and…read morelaid back but the staff are always friendly and willing to strike up a conversation. It always seems like there is a really relaxed vibe and the low lighting and heated bar really add to this experience. I used to think that The Abbey was just a bar (by no means a bad thing!) but I stopped in for lunch and had a spectacular pulled pork sandwich a few days ago. Dare I say it... The best pulled pork sandwich in downtown Menomonie?! The sauce sounds like it would be weird because there is mustard in it but I can confirm that it is delicious and really makes the sandwich. Props to The Abbey for having a limited menu and having a few really good dishes instead of a bunch of average bar food. Apart from the atmosphere, food and staff there are really good drink specials at The Abbey as well! Every day there is a near unbearable special. When school is in session these deals are definitely taken advantage of by the Stout students. If I had to credit this place for just one thing it would be that the building itself is such a relaxing place. No flashing lights, no overly loud music and no amateur DJ screaming at the top of their lungs like other bars in Menomonie. Even yet, if inside is a little too much you can always step out onto the patio. If you're looking for a relaxed cocktail in Menomonie this is your place.

This place rocks. The fact that the menu is limited is a positive. They are freakishly good at…read moremaking the items on the menu. And just when you think your whole day is shot because the slaw has broccoli (we know that Wisconsinites loathe anything that did not have parents) bam - there's bacon in it! Abbey (from the Abbey) is the coolest Abbey I know. Much cooler than any other Abbey, including Westminster and Downton. My dog enjoys the back patio where she can chill and dream about all the wonderful smells that waft from the kitchen. The sandwiches are amazing. The drinks are made well and the free chaser is like a prize my liver didn't know it won.

Lucette Brewing has grown up! We were here 2 years ago and…read moreshe has been added onto. As was made evident when we pulled up and bride and her party were getting photos taken outside. The natural fall decor was enhanced by their smiles. Flight choices were Brickyard a Red Rye IPA, Brunch a Brown Ale brewed with coffee, Slow Hand a Robust American Stout and Space is the Place a Double Oatmeal Stout. My spouse had an All about the Hustle a Cream Ale. The beers all were great and the amount of wood fired pizzas that were being made shows that they are great also.

I cannot speak enough of how kind and warm the owner was. She went above and beyond for us and even walked us to our car with umbrellas in the pouring rain.

When they first started they called the brewery Turning Waters back alley because it was in the garage in the back alley of their Bed and Breakfast. You may think WHAT?!?! Its in a garage...yep its in the garage and its FANTASTIC. This brewery blew me away, and it makes me sad that they are not talked about more in the beer community. Since this awesome brewery is a brewpub you can also find pizza, ice cream, cocktails, wine, and various snacks. The beer is just amazing and the company you meet is even better. I have never had so much fun at a brewery. Brenda and Ford are 100% two of the nicest people we have ever met who also just happen to brew really good beer! I also loved the seltzer- ask for it with a tea bag! I'm serious it's awesome! Please make a visit here!

We stopped by on a Thursday evening. We arrived right before 5pm and there was plenty of seating…read more The bartender came over right away to take our orders. The restaurant is small, nothing fancy, but pleasant enough, the music in the background not too loud. We started off with cheese curds, which were served in a tall cone. The curds were fantastic, crisp, chewy, and squeaky. We added an order of ranch on the side, and I was really impressed by it; our server said it was house-made, too. For my main dish, I had the chicken enchiladas tacos. Now, I'm from California, and I look at any Midwest takes on Mexican food with a critical eye, but these were really good tacos! My husband had the maple whiskey burger and really enjoyed his meal. I sneaked one of his fries and found it to be delicious. The restaurant was getting really busy about 5:30 as were we needing to pay and leave, so that process was a bit slow, but that is really the only criticism of our stop here. We'd both definitely eat at Common Man again!

The food includes the Irish stuff you would expect, and in the past they've been great. Think fish & chips, Shepards pie (actually cottage). My friend and I had sandwiches this visit and they were great. The menu says you get chips. What you get is a generous portion of deep fried potato rounds, just a little thick. Some crunchy and some a little soft. The dill pickle... not my favorite but that's my take. Do Not skip the appetizer. The mushrooms are amazing. They are roasted or braised, and they are delicious. There are Irish beers here including Guinness, Harp, etc. or if you prefer something else there's a full bar.
