The old fashioned is one of those places that you want to hate because it seems so cliche- but you can't. In fact, every time you visit, you become a bigger fan.
Reasons to love it:
* Cheese curds (and cheese platters)
* Cocktails are amazing (and late night happy hour) and they have a ridiculous bar selection
* Monthly beer specials (sometimes $4/pitcher)
* Food is pretty solid
* Great place to take out of town visitors - it's like Wisconsin in a restaurant
*Late night happy hour - 1030-12 - two for one's
Some negatives- it gets packed really easily and sometimes you can wait a long time for a table, and also is a pretty tight space. They should get a little more space.
