I love this place for the atmosphere. Very laid back. Awesome patio. And if you're lucky, on rare afternoons you can spot a bro trying to climb the giant moose in the back. Good times for all.

A rare selection of more than one Leinenkugel's tap handle, a tiny bathroom and a beer garden that answers all of your casual group-hang bar prayers awaits one and all.

Team: Wisconsin, Green Bay Packers. The granddaddy of Chicago Cheesehead bars offers both Badger and Packer fans $2 hot dogs and brats on gamedays. Read more

Fantastic neighborhood tavern!! Excellent food & service. Great place to watch football, especially the Green Bay Packers. If you want a successful game day experience, look no further!!!

Burgers, brats and hot dogs grilled up fresh by game time!! Great call, makes you feel like you're at a tailgate. Plus $5 stadium cup refills - 32oz - that's a great deal. Atmosphere is crazy!!

The place to be for a Packer game when you are stuck on a city full of Bears

Great low key place in the neighborhood for an adult beverage. Nice outdoor patio too if the weather is cooperating. (via Scoville) Read more

Don't forget to save your stadium cup and bring it back every game!

Fun patio drinks and tasty corn dogs!

Great Packer bar with great Pack fans. Friendliest patrons in this city. Also, the curly-haired regular bartender is hot.

It was awesome! If you are a packer fan, this is the place to be!

Two words... Cheese. Curds. Get them, you won't regret it.

Reasonable drink prices, attentive staff and a spacious, dog-friendly patio. If you are looking for a place to bring your pup - def try this one out. Read more

Try Batch 19 at Will's. It is a pre-prohibition style lager. Bold, hoppy flavor that is well-balanced from the archives of Coors dating back before 1919. Read more

If you're coming for a Packer game sometimes even 3-4 hours early isn't enough.

So Wisco. Packers and Cheese Curds.
Ty DJanuary 8, 2012
Go somewhere else. Past the veil of the rustic decor there's little but mediocrity in food, service and beer list. The New Belgium Ranger is the only redeeming quality.
