"My favorite bar in the valley" While iconic my words are just as true today. Day or night one of my cherished stops and a place I am sure to point out to visiting friends. Delicious drink specials. Cold beer, friendly staff, amazing shows and so much more.

My favorite bar in Appleton. Way more spacious than the bars on the Ave plus the events throughout the week are a fun addition. Plus dog friendly PS I won $250 on pull tabs here 🩷

This is a local dive bar. If it's what you're looking for it's perfect. Mixed crowd, friendly bartenders and good cold beer. They make a pretty good drink as well.
