I went for an "extended" 8 mile walk on Saturday afternoon, post-Badgers of course. My exercise brought me from Weston Place, downtown to pre-Freakfest activities and back home again, but not without a stop at the Blue Moon Bar & Grill.
I had been once before, but we a couple of locals looking only to add to a five hour buzz. This time was different and boy I am happy I stopped.
The beer selection is great. Not to many, not too few. The bartender (I think Jim) was very knowledgeable on beer as I asked for a malty, strong beer and he delivered with a Karben4 Lucky Lady Red Ale. The atmosphere was definitely bar, but upscale slightly based on the clientele.
I was only stopping for one beer when I struck up a conversation with a delightful gentleman who recommended the burgers. Being it was 7 o'clock and I was working on toast and 3 beers for the day, I decided on the mushroom and swiss burger would hit the spot....and it did not disappoint....definitely one of the best burger I have had, period. Of course another beer was needed....and then I called it a night as I still had a mile walk ahead of me.
I highly recommend a stop. Don't be afraid that if looks like a neighborhood bar; it is and much more. Everyone was friendly and the bartender was excellent.
In the overused words of Arnold...."I'll be back"
I am out!
