This place deserves a response to a lowly two-star review from my dad, Michael H. The only part of his review to take note of is my good taste.
Yes, it might be crowded, and yes it WILL be noisy. The floors will probably be sticky.
BUT, this is a Wisconsin micro-brew pub!!! I'd be shocked if it wasn't ever crowded and noisy. The beer is great, and they add new seasonal offerings enough to keep even the regulars trying new beers. Try the crop circle wheat or their porter. Growlers to go is also a nice way to save some cash. The food is actually pretty diverse and satisfying. The fish fry and burger served on a pretzel roll are both well-done and remind you that you're in Wisconsin. The beer bread is fresh, and the honey butter it comes with is tasty.
Yet another thing I like about the great dane is the entertainment it offers. Shuffleboard. Where else can you play shuffleboard?! I love that game. They also have pool, darts, and some deer hunting games for those pure-bred wisconsonites that can't go 20 minutes without shooting an animal. All games are free on sundays. Happy hour deals are nice as well.
Enjoy the homemade beer with some friends over a game.
