Step into the Up North five blocks north of the Capitol and you'll find a cosy neighborhood bar. In the front there's a porch that's open all night and in the back there's another porch open until 10. Live music every night - never a cover, always a tip jar - local greats such as Catfish and Lefty play. They have free peanuts and popcorn, cheap pizza and fantastic drink specials:
every night:
$2.75 beer special
$2 liquor special (Tuesdays are Jack Daniels mixers)
every Sunday:
'Grab Bag': grab a piece of paper out of a jar for $1.50 and you get what's written on it - sometimes a Blatz or a Schlitz, but also a pint of your choice, a cash prize, a t-shirt or free glasswear
520 East Wilson Street: located next door to the Essen Haus and the Come Back In.
very comfy bar with lots of Wisconsin decor
