Short and sweet, because sometimes it's just what you want.
Reasons to love The Old Fashioned:
#1: the name....it automatically transports you in a homey and warm atmosphere where you nurse a favorite drink without a care in the world.
#2: the location. You are in the shadow of power, kids. The Capitol is watching you. More importantly, you are watching it.
#3: the prices. $2.50 for a glorious pint of New Glarus Oktoberfest? Don't mind if I do. And do it again. No suds on tap above $4. That's enough for me to become a full-time 'Sconnie. And all the booze is strictly local. You didn't even imagine they had that much.
#4: the food. Everything is made in the land of dairy. EVERYTHING. Be ready for cheese, summer sausage, beer soup and the like. Also: you can have cheese curds as a side for your sandwich. A side of cheese curds. I mean....
Also: burger with bacon strips and a fried egg to double the pleasure when you had to miss breakfast. Pretty fab'.
#5: the atmosphere. Wood galore, kitschy paintings, tin ceiling, vintage lighting and silly signs. If these are your things, this is your place.
#6: the hours. Opens at the crack of dawn, closes at 2 am 4 nights a week. That's love.
