Hear from our valued guests
I ordered on a Sunday night. We got our order 10 minutes earlier than what they quoted us. The wings my boyfriend and his roommate got were better than usual, and the nachos I ordered arrived with the chips separated from the toppings. Such simple little things made a huge difference! Totally recommend!
Went here for my 29th birthday of course I had to get my birthday button. Staff was very friendly, food was very delicious and came back in a timely manner, bartender was pretty cool and made me a few different special fruity mixed drinks. Great music placing I most certainly enjoyed myself and I will be back. Thank you to the staff for starting my birthday out great.
The wings were fresh and hot. The bartender was very attentive friendly and informative. Although it's not very busy our service was excellent. Would definitely recommend checking this place out The spicy garlic was not the best in my opinion but it was a a hit with everyone else. Happy hour starts at 2:00 The bartender informed us of that which saved us a ton of money..
Went to The Bar this past Friday afternoon while in Appleton for a GB Packers game. Met Kyle our bartender n he was a total gentleman. Served us n chatted with us feel welcome! He also made sure our pizza was up to "NY"standards! LOL. We went back today before our flight and Kyle was working the kitchen, he came out to say hello n goodbye to us...thank you BIG MAN! You're a class act and The Bar is a great place to drink n eat...will definitely be back
Stopped in for my wife's birthday. It was fairly empty, but it was a Wed night so that was expected. Bartender was great, free drinks for her birthday plus I was drinking water (dieting and driving) but we made sure to leave an extra tip. We didn't get any food this time, but will probably next time. Those pizzas smelled really good.
The bruschetta is my absolute favorite! My son begs to go The Bar for their wings! Family friendly and just a great atmosphere for all occasions.
We always have a good time here. The beer selection is decent and the upstairs bar is great place for private events. The acoustics could be better but it’s spacious enough for larger bands, than most venues in the area.
In Appleton for some shopping and decided to eat lunch here. Enjoyed the perch regular as well as gluten-free for a friend. So tasty Excellent service. A perfectly mixed brandy old fashioned press.
Awesome placs! My wife and I's first time here, the manager Mike is a super cool guy. I asked a drink recommendation and he hooked me up. The food is great too, I definitely recommend getting the flight. The burgers are super good and if it's your birthday you're in for a good time.
The wings were delicious and for my surprise they were all flats! They tasted very good and the atmosphere was very chill and relaxed. We also got cheese curds and the cheese was of very good quality. We tried several beers and they all came in a good temperature. Both the server and the bartender were polite and attentive. Next time I’m up north, I would like to come back.
