How long does it take for a bar to qualify as an
institution? Sarah Pederson's venerable beer pub (founded 2008) is
lately taking on that patina. Vintage coolers are well-stocked with
sought-after new releases, and fresh Russian River kegs abound. The
event space in the back, the Bad Habit Room, lets the bar take on major
fests like the Farmhouse and Wild Ale—one of the best festivals in the
city, somehow stacking in the gnarliest beer geeks alongside pleasantly
curious brew tourists. Alongside its nine well-curated craft taps, which
rotate regularly, there is one beer that is always available: Hamm's.
And there's free bacon every second Monday of the month. These are
probably there for all those Packers fans that crowd the place on
certain days, but amid a beer culture that's started to take itself all
too seriously, that Midwestern beer bear comes on as a relief.
Happy Hour: 4-6 pm Monday-Friday. $1 off drafts, food specials.
Entertainment: Packers games.
