| - I've been to Tipsy Cow a few times, but it had been a while since I've been there last. So this weekend when it was suggested for some post-brunch drinks, I said, "why not?" Their beer list is fairly extensive and varied. I like that it is Wisconsin beer driven. What could go wrong?
The bartender. I don't know if the guy was new or just clueless, but I do know that he was awful and mopey. His tap list, which is written on a chalk board, was grossly out of date. He stated two beers were no longer available. Upon inspection over half of the board was wrong. He also poured what seemed to be 1/2 a keg down the drain while trying to pour my pint. Adding to my ire, after my friend asked a legitimate question about a beer he proceeded to mansplain to her what an IPA was. Not cool bartender, not cool.
So why do I give Tipsy 3 stars? Well, after his shift ended the new bartender was much much better. He explained that they were switching from winter to spring menu so that is why some things were out of date. Noticed that the tap list was wrong, but knew exactly what he had in stock. He was much more lighthearted and knew how to pour a beer. Needless to say we stuck around for one more drink instead of slinking out as we were again having fun. This experience just goes to show that good hires can make or break a place. I will be giving this place another chance, just not with bartender #1.
