Half Time Rec
"Met a friend and some friends that are regulars last month. What a great neighborhood bar! I didn't ask if it was new or I just never noticed but besides street parking they have a small parking lot across the street! Our bartender was very attentive and friendly... kept stopping back as I couldn't decide if I was going to drink or not? The patrons are just a bunch of chill folks hanging out...definitely my atmosphere. Not like you would think... a dim lit bar... we had full lights beaming during our visit. I like that they have some regulars photos stapled along the bar....as a dear friend who passed several years ago.... I always look for his photos. Thanks Half Time Rec for being such a relaxing and inviting place to catch up w friends, cheers!"
Cedar Creek Inn
"The Cedar Creek Inn is the original dive bar out in the Wisconsin countryside. They just totally remodeled the inside and it really is nice. All new wood walls and ceilings, vaulted ceilings, new speaker system, new floors, new bathrooms, but surprisingly the same cheap price on drinks. Service is what you'd expect from small town Wisconsin, friendly and attentive. Lots of regulars here. Two tap beers and a mixed drink for under $9 is ridiculously cheap. Yet the drink was strong and the mugs were pulled from the freezer so they are nice and frosty. We've had breakfast here quite a few times and it was rather good. Definitely not the best in town, but home cooked, hot off the griddle, big portions, and cheap. They have real good late night frozen pizzas that hit the spot after a few pitchers of beer. A lot of the food has that Wisconsin theme of meat, meat, cheese, meat, and brats. This place would normally be a 2-3 star joint, but the recent efforts on remodeling really turn it up a few notches. The bartender says they will be remodeling the exterior also. In the nice months, they have a porch and deck to sit out and have your meal and drinks while listening to the creek bubble on by. Picnic tables out on the back lawn by the creek too. Some nights they start a bonfire. Just a cool small town America bar that serves cheap drinks, pretty good food, and has a cool Wisconsin atmosphere. Oh yeah, and 1919 Root Beer on tap served in a frosty mug makes me really, really happy."
