    Fit in like a regular Gather some good yarns to tell Have a shot with the bartender Witnessed a long conversation-inducing traffic accident here. And a World Cup qualifier. And some solid billiard games. And heard some great classic jazz tracks. All before heading out for a pontoon riverboat cruise. Early afternoon drinking at its near-finest. Worth seeing and experiencing to create your own stories - guaranteed you'll gather some, and smile to yourself as you recount them.

    For all y'all Super Troopers fans, it's real!

    Great dive bar Wisconsin style! Grabbed a couple drinks with friendly pours and also drank my first Schlitz.

    This place was amazing. It's not beautiful on the outside or the inside but the people are beautiful on the outside and the inside. We loved everything about it. We met the owner Steve, the bartender Sara and Bob we met many of the locals Liz, Eric, Rafael, George, David, etc. etc. etc. I love this place and we will definitely be back!

    Such a great little bar situated inside of the Crossroads Collective! Surrounded by a bunch of food…read morevendors, it's the one spot you can wet your whistle. Here you'll find plenty of brews on tap, wines, and a solid line up of canned drinks/seltzers. Most notable though, their house cocktails. I opted for the cocorita and was definitely a fan! If you like coconut flavor and margs, then you're in for a treat with this one. So refreshing and even comes with shaved coconut on the side of the glass. If tequila isn't your thing, they've got ya covered with all the other concoctions -- from a sunshine martini to a Gillian's island rum mixer. And even if you prefer NA, there's drinks cleverly called "placebo effects" for ya! Love the sprawling bar, with plenty of seats, that's right in front of the big open doors letting the fresh air in. Friendly faces behind the bar too. Look forward to returning!

    The Pharmacy Bar is located inside the Crossroads Collective Food Hall. Accidentally ended up here…read moreas a place inside we were looking for wasn't open. The bartender was super friendly and we had a nice chat about this place and how a lot of the restaurants in the building use this as a test kitchen before they get their own place. Back to the bar, it's such a cool concept because it shows recognization to how the building use to be Oreintal Drugs. They have a wide variety of drinks to choose from from coffee, beer, wine, cocktails, non alcoholic drinks. Literally, whatever you imagine they have you covered. You can get food from any of the local businesses inside so the combinations are endless for pairings.

    My friend and I dropped by Two recently for a birthday drink. This place has a great classic…read morecocktail list and fun ice cream drinks. Since we'd just had a disappointing dinner, we opted for ice cream drinks as a treat. They were both very good and picture perfect. The bartender was polite and service was good. We were in early and the place was quite empty, but it filled as the night went on. Two is not big, but it's cute as hell with retro decor and intimate booths, perfect for a a date night. Mid-century mod and kitty cat decor for the win. I may well make this a regular haunt.

    The place: Two is easy to overlook. From the outside, it…read morelooks like another indescribable dive with the stone exterior and only one window up high. The sign is a single numeral, 2. Hubsy gushed about this bar enough that I resisted until Saturday night when I felt restless. Inside, Two is a low-lit neighborhood bar. There's a fair number of large tables for groups and the booths noted by other reviewers behind bead curtains. Two glows like the inside of a supernatural heart. Warm, red, and playing some solid music -- some I recognized (Death Cab for Cutie) and others I didn't (the bluesy tune). There's a jukebox. The location: Located next to its flashier cousin, Art Bar, it's easy to miss Two. About 3-4 blocks west of Humboldt on Burleigh, use Art Bar as your landmark. There's plenty of unmetered street parking on Burleigh or the residential streets. The service: When we walked in, we were greeted immediately by the bartender. She also asked if we had ever been there before. Based on the people who came in after us, my guess is that she knows the regulars. Very cool. The drinks: My first sip of Dark and Stormy was all rum. I didn't mind, so when I stirred, it was perfectly balanced. Good ginger beer, good rum. The Moscow Mule Hubsy got was sweeter than my drink which was surprising but delightful. Each of our drinks were $8.50. I didn't pay attention to the beer specials, but maybe next time. Next time: I'll probably stay longer to do some people-watching and writing. Maybe I'll check out the beer.
