Stumbled across this historic roadside tavern taking the back way home from Governor Dodge State Park. Great atmosphere and high quality tap list, including Bell's Two Hearted Ale. A hidden treasure in the Driftless.

A classic sconnie tavern. This is a great destination for an afternoon drive. Great place for spotting motorcycle, bicycle and classic cars. The staff is friendly. The drinks are even friendlier. Top notch burgers. Try the fried pickles. Clean. Well lit. A feast for the eyes.
