Great bar. A friend's wedding was there and it was beautifully set up with plenty of space. Brought our smaller children, even though it is a bar and they had plenty of space outside for kids the play together and run.

We went for the Easter Brunch as a family. There was a wide variety of brunch foods. We had a very nice time! The French Toast bake was awesome as was the ham and meatballs.

I dined in here tonight with my son and in-laws. My family-in-laws have been living here for years but have never tried this restaurant before. The restaurant serves free salad and soup. Today's soup was ham & pea, and surprisingly, there was so much ham in it. My mother-in-law and I ordered baked haddock and mashed potato with butter ranch on the side. We also had Spotted Cow beer. Other family members tried a fish sandwich with fries and a burger woth homemade chips, and everybody loved their food. Total of 2 lemonade, 3 bottles of beer and 2 baked haddock, 1 fish sandwich & 1 burger were $66 before tax. They even gave us free dessert because it was Friday. My mother-in-law loved the dessert so much! My family-in-laws were impressed with service from our server. They truly loved the foods from here. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are visiting or living near here.

Bootlegger's offers decent bar food, though the burger and chicken sandwich we ordered were fairly average. However, the outdoor seating area was a highlight—cozy and inviting. The bartender and server were both friendly and provided quick, attentive service, making the experience enjoyable overall.

Great little small town Wisconsin dive bar and restaurant! The pizza is absolute fire! The Italian beef will give anything from Chicago a run for its money. Stop here! Check it off your list.
