| - My wife researched this place for my birthday and did a great job. Their selection of beers was excellent, and the first thing they do when you sit at the bar is furnish a menu of beers with all the prices, sorted by style. They have a "local 30," which changes frequently, but a lot more than 30 local brews -- and even some from true micros like Hop Haus is Verona. Their menus are so up to date they print them twice a week and put stamps on them during each day when the upcoming list fills out or they run out (with a cute "No beer for you" stamp).
The bar is very social -- it's long and wraps around tge taps ( but is not blocked by them), so you can see pretty much everyone there. The bartenders were very social, too, especially Jesi, who took care of us like she was hosting us at a party. She would walk by, scanning the area like a lifeguard and then stop and chat whenever we wanted, answering every question thoughtfully, whether it was about the beer, the yummy "crack fries" (which she recommended we not have plain), the Packers or her day job. They always had plenty to do but had enough people not to be over busy.
Wonderful experience overall. Was there good food? Probably. But we didn't care. There were a ton of tables and there's a wait on weekend nights, so I'm sure it was good. But that's not what we came for, nor should it have been.
