I always have a good time at Pooley's, but that is partly because I can play volleyball and watch almost any Wisconsin sporting event.
The food is mediocre at best, but they mix strong drinks for the price. You can count on your favorite game being on one or more of the ubiquitous TVs in the place. The game room is fun if you are into pool, shuffleboard, darts, etc. The volleyball courts are excellent, and they do a pretty good job hosting leagues and tournaments.
They hosted my high school graduation party years ago, and they did a great job managing the service.
