Ziggy’s

Super chill bar and music venue with a small food menu, offering on and off sale liquor and beer. I visited on a late evening Monday for their half priced smash burger special. The bar was pretty quiet with only a handful of patrons. The service was friendly and prompt, immediately taking my drink order and offering a menu. I started with the Ziggys Fry Bread, which came with a side of cheese sauce. The bread was delicious! Cheese sauce was just ok. There are 7 different smash burgers to choose from on the menu. I went with the California. Patties were cooked to perfection, all the toppings fresh and crisp. It was served on an "everything" seasoned bun with was awesome and a nice touch. Music started at 8:00. Was a nice little 2 piece band. Sound was great In the space and wasn't too loud. Will definitely be returning to Ziggys!

The food, Tacos were amazing. Birria was suggested and Birria I loved. This is 2nd time I had them. Guess they have a special on usual taco Tuesday and specifically Birria on fridays. The service and ambience is very comforting.

The food was DELICIOUS. Service was okay, not terrible but not remarkable. The live music was my favorite part! Piano player who sang and took requests

Having used up most of our allotted time at the Village Inn, my local and I only had a few minutes to down a couple beers at the Zig. My daughter was making my favorite meal, and we had a tight window in which to get our social drinking in. So unfortunately for us, maybe not so for Ziggys, it was going to be the ol' in and out this time round.The place is huge. A good sized bar and hoards of tables. My buddy told me that the place hasn't changed much since the days when it was Pudges. A new window here and there and an expansion, but otherwise it looked the same as when he and a coworker got fired from their job for having a few drinks on their lunch break 50 years ago. Seems their boss at the store across the street took exception to them coming back a bit on the tipsy side. Can't imagine why.I noticed what looked to be a black jack table tucked to the side. I was told that under the cover was a piano. Pretty cool. Live music. Nice. Not my cup of tea, but tea isn't the main beverage being served, and it works for the crowd. I wonder if Ziggys is prompted by the Zigfeld Follies of the early 1900's. That would explain the piano, but I didn't see any of the dancing girls. Maybe it was too early in the day. That action probably doesn't start up until the full effect of adult beverages take hold. I'll have to come back when meatloaf isn't waiting for me.Quick Tip; Zigs has a liquor store in the back, (as if you didn't get enough while listening to the tickling of the ivorys). Grab a bottle and a Folly girl and make a night of it.

Fish fry Friday is great. 4 tasty, tiny filets. You order as much as you want. They weren't sure they had malt vinegar, but someone found one. Not my style thin fries, Basil liked them and ate them all. A good tarter sauce. I started with a wild rice soup perfect on a rainy day. A delicious ginger ale. Great service from Kailee. It starts at 5 and they have a piano man front and center. I can't wait to go back for the burgers.

Went to ziggy's last night to listen to some live music and eat. Had the fish and chips (there Friday night special) it was nummy and who doesn't like texas toast. My partner had the Quesadillas which he orders a lot out and he lived them as well and the piano player was great!

A coworker asked me to join her tonight. We crossed the river to check out the Friday evening piano entertainer, and have dinner and drinks. This was my first visit to Hudson. Cute little town along the St. Croix. Loved the atmosphere of this place. A good showing of people but not super loud or packed. Staff friendly and attentive. Tables and floors clean. Many seating options: tables with chairs, tables with a bench or high tops. We started with ordering drinks. I ended up getting a 2-4-1 because my ticket didn't get cleared and the bartender made a 2nd in error. Yeah, but I really didn't want (or drink) the second. Now take this next narrative with a grain of salt. **I just came back from Nashville and ordered a Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich at Princes's and it was delicious. However I got to choose my heat intensity on that sandwich. **Ziggy's has a Tennessee Hot Chicken sandwich too! But this was a one size does not fit all taste bud. Let's start with the everything bagel seasoning bun. I'm not a fan of the over powering garlic and onion flavor. That was NOT in the description on the menu. I have a pic of it and just double checked. I took one bite of the sandwich and it took all I had to not spit it out. Way too much cayenne!! I coughed and coughed, turned bright red because I couldn't breathe. The waiter came over to see if I was okay. *me choking, can't breathe, coughing, shaking head*. Asks if I want ranch. Ranch will not fix this. I finally tell him in a whisper voice I'll need a to go box because I won't be eating this. When I got home I stripped the chicken of all the contaminated breading. And there was still plenty of heat in the residue left behind on the bun and slaw. Major fail for me. Princes's was better.With everything else being fun and pleasant, I'll definitely be back to try a more bland meal.

We were upstairs with the B@band and that's a really fun vibe. But I went downstairs to get a martini and the bartender said she didn't know how to make one. So I told her I would walk her through it. When I told her to grab some vermouth another girl said, "we don't have that". And I was like, "there's literally a wall of liquor behind you." She mumbled something and so I just went back upstairs. Wtf.

Great customer service and good food - 4 stars.We stopped for lunch at Ziggy's. They have off-street parking. It's fine for lunch. It probably doesn't cut it when there's live music and lots of people though.We sat on the north side patio which we later found out is the "dog friendly" patio. I guess that explains all of the stainless steel water bowls!The customer service was first rate. The bartender, Doug, was the main person serving us and he was awesome - on top of everything with a friendly demeanor.Our burger and sandwich were good. I think I have to knock them on price though. I had a small burger with a handful of fries and it was 15 bucks - it seemed a little steep for what I got.All-in-all, I like Ziggy's. Next, I have to check them out when they have live music.Thumbs up!-Daddy Maxx Retro

I've been here many times for drinks, but on a whim decided to stop for lunch with the family today...we weren't feeling our usual stops. We sat at a cozy booth right by the front windows. It was such a great spot! We had a great view of Second Street and a super cute cushioned bench seat with throw pillows. Loved it! The food was amazing! We split the Chicago beef sandwich with tots and decided to also order two street tacos. We tried the steak chimichurra and po'boy with fried shrimp and andouille sausage. I was impressed! Definitely better than the average bar food I was expecting.The service was great! We will definitely return!
