They also offer wine tastings, and have a good selection of different seltzers & ciders. I noticed they also sell cigars if that's your thing. My girlfriends and I stopped in for some drinks on a Saturday late afternoon, and sat at the bar so we could see all the different bottles. I've been on a tequila kick lately and wanted to find something new I could taste before randomly buying a bottle. The bartender pulled a few for me to pick from and was knowledgeable about each of the brands. I ended up finding two new tequilas I really loved. There's plenty of seating inside at the wine barrel tables, or their long bar. They also have an outside patio area in back if you want fresh air. The place is very clean and I like how it's decorated with unique Wisconsin items. They don't have a food menu but you can order a Lotsa Mozza pizza, or can carry in from anywhere.

Yes, the wine is obviously good too with a selection for all preferences. I've been here a few times now, and it has quickly become one of my favorites. I cannot get over how good their food is! I've now tried every single flatbread on their menu, and they're all outstanding! Even their steak gorgonzola flatbread is incredible and I don't like steak! They also have the best spinach artichoke dip I've ever tasted, and they're served with these delightful warm pieces of pita bread... I'm pretty sure this stuff came right out of an oven. On my most recent visit, I actually ended up getting an Old Fashioned and my dining mate got a cosmo. Both were absolutely fantastic. The bartender even came over and said the last bit of the cosmo he made tasted like it was heavy on the lime and he offered to re-make it... I'd call that service to the hilt! There was no need to re-make the cosmo, however, as we both found it to be delicious. The bar also has some really great high end liquors and craft beer options. They also have NA options. So, while it is a fun wine bar where you get to self-service pour your own wine, don't let the name fool you -- this place has something for everyone. I've also come here with a friend who has a gluten allergy and they have gluten free bread for their delicious flatbreads. Overall this place is great for an intimate night out or a night out with the girls. They have plenty of seating and an upstairs area with games and such as well. There's an outdoor patio as well for when the weather cooperates. I cannot recommend this place enough!

First thing is they have touch tunes so you can set your own vibes for the night. The decor and lighting is perfect. A lot of velvet seating and gold accents. It is a dog friendly space which is kind of random for a cocktail bar but I don't mind it. I pet 4 dogs. The bartenders were super nice. I ordered the "Yes you can buy me love" which was Espolon Tequila, Strawberry, Lime Juice, Triple Sec, Coconut Milk, Mint, Sugar Rim. It was really good. I also tried my husband's "Stuck in a Snowbank" which was state line coffee liqueur, bourbon cream, frangelico, cold brew. It basically tasted like a coffee that was a little sweeter. All the cocktails were great. Again I'm so glad we stumbled across this stop because even the bar goers were super nice.

The lounge has a moody vibe that you really wouldn't guess from the outside. It's the perfect place to escape the cold and warm up with a cozy cocktail. They also change their cocktail menu seasonally, offering something a little fun for each season. It's evident the owners care about the community, as they are frequently offering events to support local providers (River Valley Food Pantry on the night we were there), and have specials for those who we couldn't be without (hello nurses and teachers). They're also dog friendly!

His fries were very good since I stole many of them. My kids ordered a chicken wrap and a breakfast dish and said they liked it and would order them again. Our service was top notch by TEAGAN. she was a very good waitress and very attentive. My only complaint is there really isn't an ambiance unless you sit outside of the patio.

I had dinner plans, so I just wanted to stop in for a drink and snack. They have some really good offers for HH and their cheese curds are half off. I had never had one, so it sounded like the perfect time to try. I got a glass of wine and the curds. They came out quickly, hot and fresh. It was a big bowl of fried cheese. They come with ranch and hot honey, and apparently they recently won best cheese curd at the cheese curd crawl. They were super tasty. Well seasoned, perfectly fried, and kind of chewy. I am not on the hot honey frenzy train, but I tried it and thought it paired well, just wasn't for me. The ranch was tasty though. Even the happy hour portion was hefty and I couldn't put down half. A little wine and cheese on a beautiful day, just makes for a good experience. They were making some pretty interesting cocktails behind the bar, and it is definitely worth coming back to try out their other options.

The fries were over cooked. My son had the Mac n cheese with chicken that he enjoyed. We also ordered a salad which was fresh and tasty.
