| - I live in Old Town, and The Lodge is one of my most frequented hang-outs. The food is good, the happy hour is better, and I usually enjoy the atmosphere.
Obviously designed to resemble a hunting lodge, The Lodge is pretty cozy. The lighting is somewhat dim but not dark, the booths are comfy, and there are a lot of tv's. The back patio has cornhole and a decent number of tables, so, when it's pleasant outside, I enjoy sitting out there.
The happy hour is one of the best in town, in my opinion. It is one of the only ones that is 7 days a week, and it lasts from 3-7. Well drinks are $3 a piece, and certain beers are as well! Definitely a bargain if you're a liquor drinker like I am.
Their food is pretty solid. My favorite thing there are the fried cheese curds, which come with ranch. I almost always order them when I'm there. Their fried pickles, tater tots, and waffle fries are good too...can't you tell what a health nut I am? ;) I have not had the famed Sasquatch Burger, but I've had other burgers, and they're good. The brat is decent but nothing to write home about. One thing to avoid at all costs is the Buffalo Meatloaf special on Wednesdays. Ugh. My boyfriend ordered it recently, and I took one bite of it and wanted to spit it out. The meatloaf was squishy, and it was topped with cheese sauce--like, nacho cheese sauce. I have no idea who came up with that idea, but they should never be allowed to decide upon menu items again.
The only thing I don't like about The Lodge is that it can get pretty douchey late night on the weekends, but I guess that's true of most bars in Old Town. Oh! And they have a bathroom attendant on weekend nights. Whaaaatt?? I can't stand feeling like I have to pay to use the bathroom, but I especially don't care for it at a place such as this, where I go to relax. Also, the bathroom is really small and quiet, so if you're the only one in the bathroom, you're basically in there with the attendant just sitting outside of the stall listening and waiting for you to emerge. It creeps me out, and I refuse to pay someone to hand me a paper towel. No offense to the attendent, but I can do that myself for free, thank you.
Aside from my rant about the bathroom attendant, I generally enjoy going to the Lodge, and I will continue to as long as I live around the corner from it. Just remember to get the cheese curds!
