    It is what it is: a small, standing room only rock club. The drinks are overpriced compared to other venues in town.

    The Cardinal Bar is both retro and classy. Stopped in for some pre-dinner beverages and listened to…read morethe live conga band get set-up and play their first few songs. The service was really good with cool bartenders and a mellow vibe. Didn't try the food although it is on the menu. A bit further from campus, the CB seems to be a place catering to a more mature crowd rather than a UW student bar.

    The decor is so cute and I really liked the food options and NA drinks! Parking is a challenge so…read morewe parked in the Essen Haus lot then walked over. We arrived shortly after they opened and it was excellent: great service, great vibes. We were so relaxed. We visited on a dancing night and even though we stayed at our table, it was so fun to see people of all ages, sexualities, and wardrobes coming to and from the dancefloor. Once it got busy, the bartenders were really struggling. It seemed like most of them were new because they kept asking one of the bartenders questions. One of them didn't even know where to find the drink I ordered (it was on the menu, and in the fridge in a can). Once all of the employees are as seasoned as the one they were all asking questions to, I think things will run much more smoothly. It also turned into a big party atmosphere which was fine with us, but many of the tables that were relaxing when we arrived were gone shortly after the music started. So just choose your visit time based on the type of experience you want.

    I REALLY LOVE THE FAMILY FRIENDLY DRAG SHOWS!!! They hold them once a month, usually on a weekend…read morefrom 7-9pm. And politely ask for families to close tabs & exit for the next adult drag show to start at 9:30pm. I really want this place to continue its offerings so hear me out (below) on why I chose a low star review). Drinks are super reasonable, just as other review posted. And bar staff (and everyone else there for that matter) are extremely friendly and respectful. They offer free popcorn on the backside of the bar (help yourself)! And pizza for the late night cravings. The reason for my 3 stars (should really be 2 but I truly want to promote this place in hopes they keep it going and can pay for a deep cleaning... lol). I get it's a late night spot, but I'm very conscious when it comes to bathrooms. I don't think these have been cleaned in years. If they weren't half as bad as they were at 7pm -- I'd be willing to give it 3.5 stars. Clean them up right and I'd give it an EASY 5 stars. I hope the owners/managers hear me out on this one!

    There is an angry old bartender here who needs to watch how he speaks to his customers. My friend…read morewent to order a drink and immediately he said to her "put your f-cking hand down." I'm not sure why he thinks that is acceptable behavior. He also kicked my friends out for no reason after refusing service, took the beers out of her hand, and left them outside with no coat. That bartender has white hair, wears shirts a bit too revealing for his age, and clearly does not enjoy his job. I'm baffled that they allow such horrible people with rude behavior to work at FIVE, especially since we had never had a problem there before.

    The ambiance is super cool in here!! Probably the best spot I've seen in the Dells! Although we…read morewere just there for shots because of their tequila deals it was a great time! The service and vibes were great! I'm sad we couldn't come back at night because apparently they be getting lit!

    Disappointing Bobbers/The Reef in Wisconsin Dells, First time going went for dinner on the Bobbers…read moreside, it took forever for our food even though there was hardly anyone there, went to the register to pay and no one was around we waited for at least 10 minutes before someone came out so we could pay. Looks like it would be a fun place to hang out unfortunately that wasn't our experiences. Sharing Son's Review... We went to have some drinks but they refused to let me in saying my ID didn't look like me, they took my ID and refused to give it back. I called the next day and they still refused to return it. Two weeks later I decided to try again, Before I went we called law enforcement to find out the best way to go about getting my ID back, the police officer called The Reef to see if they had it, they did. I went to get it and the manager had an aditude and was trying to justify (contradicting herself while doing so) taking and keeping my ID instead of just giving it back. Even after we told her if an ID isn't returned with in 48 hours to the owner or law enforcement it's considered stealing, still with an aditude she finally went back and got it. Seriously didn't need to hear all her rambling. Just wanted my ID back.
