I don't go there for the food and definitely not for the seriously smelly, boggy carpeting. I go there to drink huge boots full of beer and impress all of my out-of-town friends. Post-Badger games, it's a polka-dancing, beer-swilling mob. And that's a good thing.

Probably the only place I've ever been where you make a reservation to DRINK! Fun atmosphere - you'd be suprised how good of a time you have drinking beer out of a boot and polka dancing. Excellent for large groups.

The food is not the best food in town, but it is a fun place for a large group looking to have some drinks. The 2 L boots make for a fun time.
