I was caught off guard by the quality of the tap lineup here. Very nice variety of styles. Dan was our bartender and his knowledge of beer and the subtleties of different beers within a style is exceptional. Looks like a dive but don't let that fool you. Very pleasant surprise.

If you used to skateboard and like delicious popcorn chances are you'll like Jekylls. Also great music when the bartender with the neat hat is working.

This is the perfect bar. Ben, the owner, and the staff works tirelessly to make this place welcoming for all. The bartenders are kind, efficient, talented and generous in drink making. You won’t find a better place to start or end your night out. Great outdoor patio area. Get yourself some popcorn and play some darts. VAST spirits selection! You wanna try some Malort? You got it It’s warm and has that welcoming towny feel, but there’s an alternative feel and the crowd is just right. This place attracts the best kind of patrons and it’s the place I recommend first for the perfect Appleton bar.

Favorite bar hands down! The atmosphere is great and their patio is even cooler! They play 'oldie but goodie' movies which I think is pretty unique! Not too loud of a place and not too quite! Perfect to meet up with friends or go on a date!

Great Wisconsin old fashions and draft beer. Best bar social distancing practices and enforcement (April, 2021).

Great bar, love the service, the drinks and most of all the atmosphere. And hey if some of you you are smokers, you cannot beat that heated smoking area out back. Very chill, very friendly crowd. Fun fact: The owner has a glorious beard that he once lost in a game of darts, ask him about it.

Have nothing but happy experiences at this bar. All of the bartenders are kind, hardworking people. It’s a fun vibe here, I like going to watch Bucks games, or the kooky movies they have on. Smoking patio available for people to vape or smoke out on. Also the pinball machine is fun and the popcorn is tasty. My favorite bar!
