Peabody's Ale House & The Sideyard

So much fun last night Bunch of college girls from all over Wi!! Great music, Bar service was good. Crowd was manageable Cool outdoor space At midnight they played house/ pop hit music

I'm from out of town, decided to go out and have a couple drinks and see what the towns about. I came in this place last night, the bartender was okay. Kept my drink full. The main issue was the OWNER of the bar was in there drunk as could be. Kept making smart remarks to me and then turning his head away like a scared little kid and laughing like he was funny. He kept telling me over and over he owns the bar to which I told him I don't care who knows the bar, but in a meaner way. He tried to get me to take a shot but I refused and he kept making dumb remarks and hiding by turning away. He then apologized when he could tell I was tired of his act. I paid and left and wouldn't go back in that bar unless it was to beat up the drunken bar owner and his little buddies..

Located on a street with a multitude of MUCH better places to spend your money, choose ANY other bar!!! I'm visiting from out of town, therefore I have an out of state ID, which the bouncer, Vince, did not like. Vince took it upon himself to decide my ID was fake, it's an Indiana ID that I have had for 4 years, and never had an issue with. Instead of denying me service after I insisted that my ID was real and told him to scan it or call the police to verify if he was unable to scan it, Vince decided that he really wanted to prove me wrong and bent my ID in half while laughing in my face. Keep in mind, I am from out of state and need my ID to travel later this week, which I can no longer use. The other bouncer sent Vince on an "ice run" when I decided to call the police myself to help resolve the situation; they were kind enough to wait with me outside after *shockingly* verifying my very real, now very broken drivers license. Vince hid in Peabody's for 45 minutes instead of coming outside to face the situation that he had created. A word of advice to Peabody's management - I get we are in a labor shortage but maybe learn to police your employees a little bit better because Vince came across as incredibly aggressive and I have no doubt that if I had given more objections instead of stepping back and calling the cops myself, the situation would have escalated on his end. And to you Vince, buddy maybe find another outlet for your anger towards out of towners or find a different job. You are in the hospitality industry and are undoubtably the most inhospitable person I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with.

Has been a great bar for years, from a super chill and kick ass peanut and popcorn ale hipster heaven, to its larger incarnation now. It was always one of three spots you couldn't miss on the DT.

Cute bar in the college area. The bartender knew the beers on tap and was helpful. They were having a DJ which is what she said was "live" music lol but we didn't stay for that. Nice TVs to watch the games on. Overall cute laid back atmosphere.

DJ that was hosting wouldn't play any requests, music being played was definitely not attracting the crowd, was outdated, and not hyping up the clientele. DJ took the excitement right out of the bar. Wouldn't recommend when this DJ plays here.

This is the best bar I've been to in the last five months. Taylor is AMAZING! She completely tailored the drinks to what we wanted & made hand crafted drinks for my group of friends. Hands down, she made the ambience and experience so much more enjoyable. The outdoor area has corn hole and fire pits. This whole environment is so cool and relaxing. Tip: ASK for Taylor & ask for the fruit Moscow mule!!

Recently took a job in Wisconsin and this place has become my local oasis. The drinks are cheap, and the dice game "shake for shots" is unlike anything I have seen elsewhere in the US. Large outdoor patio and I am told live music is a mainstay during warmer months.

Fun place to hang with friends. Good staff, good drinks, like the side yard. Even the bouncer is very personable. Keep up the great work!

Two bartenders were working and it was obvious one was picking up all of the others slack because he had to yell at the other bartender (the one who had our tab) who wouldn't get us our tab when we wanted to close out (he was too busy socializing with friends). I think bartenders also overserved a young girl who became messily drunk and broke a swing. The girl and her friends were not kicked out when they started calling other customers rude names and making fools of themselves. It was a slow night in the middle of the week so these issues should have been easy to prevent.
