Being a native "old Milwaukeean," microbrews and raspberry-flavored beer is not my thing. I have not found one I can say I have absolutely loved. I always come back to the old brews. Although I felt they were not unreasonably priced at $3.25 a pint and $9 a pitcher, and they had a good selection of standard brews, too. The menu was typical, offering the same as some of other local places, but being $1 to $2 higher than most. There was a wide selection of sandwiches. A plain cheeze 14-inch will run you $12, with anything else at about $19. The Friday fish fry was $12.

Not very hungry and wanting to try what was considered their specials, we asked our waiter, who not only was unknowledgeable about the menu, but inattentive. We decided on garlic bread, a personal-size pizza, and soup and salad. The soup, supposedly a Moosejaw special, was beer cheese soup consisting of red and green peppers, onions, potatoes, and brats. We were thinking, "Hey, we're in Wisconsin, beer, cheese, brats - you can't go wrong, right? It definitely wasn't what we expected. It tasted like over-salted, condensed soup from a can. The pizza was nothing to brag about. It tasted good, but it has to be pretty bad before we can't eat pizza. It was not to the standard of what they claim, especially being a "pizza joint". The salad was a salad. The garlic bread was good. We each had a beer, and my son had a kiddy cocktail. Beers were $3 each, soup and salad $6, personal pizza $6, and appetizer $6.50. I thought that it was a little high for a cup of soup, lettuce, and some bread. I wouldn't necessarily return here for the food, but would for the atmosphere and maybe an afternoon of taste-testing some beers.
