I came here because I’m a whiskey nerd, and if that’s why you’re thinking of coming here… don’t.

This is clearly a bar that went with distillery branding in the early ’10s when it was trendy. They source their whiskey from an off-site distillery, and the staff at the bar, at least when I came in, looked at me weird when I asked after the mash bill.

The whiskeys themselves have been watered down to 40% ABV, which further tells me that this is an operation made to extract tourist dollars and not make good liquor.

For a $15 flight, I expect to either have a conversation with staff who know the general outlines of the production and aging process, or at very least a laminated handout on it to read as I sip; this place had neither.

The straight bourbon has a corn note that veers heavily into iodine, and it’s present in the “Overproof” white dog, so I wonder if they’re making a late tails cut to maximize production. The “whiskey” is bland and unexciting, and certainly not worth buying a bottle of.

If you’re in the area and looking to have a good distillery experience, go visit Wollersheim or Driftless Glen: don’t waste your time or money here.

And bar management: if you don’t want to be judged like this, don’t call yourself a distillery and peddle someone else’s mediocre spirits as your own. This is a choice you made.

I gave a 2 star on food ’cause it wasn’t the worst burger I had, but it definitely was far from the best. The servers were nice. I had the Distillery burger, which according to the menu, was recommended. The cheese sauce on top was rather bland, and the burger patty was also bland. It was also luke warm and the bun was cold without any toasting. COLD. Even McDonald’s doesn’t serve a cold bun. Eating the burger reminded me of the burgers I would get at a community college cafeteria, which would’ve been fine if I didn’t pay over 15 dollars without even any fries. Personally, a place that serves a burger without even fries to come with it disgusts me. I can deal with it if it is a really really good burger, but this was far from that.

I wish I could say this was the worst part, but unfortunately it wasn’t. When I asked what the mashbill on the bourbon and whiskey is, 3 separate workers could not answer the question. In fact, one of them answered “the bourbon was aged for 2 years in a charred barrel.” You would really think an establishment that sells their own distilled products, they would train their employees to have a basic knowledge of the product and the process itself.

The bourbon tasted just like the establishment. Bland and generic. At least it was warmer than the bun, I guess. To be fair, it would probably fine as a mixer, but I will definitely tell you that there are many many other bourbons that are better than this one at $45 or even less.

I did not eat at the location, but I did have drinks.

I stopped in to try a flight of their spirits. Bourbon and whiskey primarily. In the fright, I did try each of their spirits except the vodka and gin.

The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. I did double up on the Bourbon and Whiskey, but each of the other spirits was noteworthy and interesting. The ginger Brandy was good, not overy spicy. A nice change if you’re having a Brandy Manhattan or Brandy Alexander. Both the Bourbon and Whiskey are very nice for small batch. Can be enjoyed both straight or in cocktails. The Rum was probably the most interesting, sweet, and a bit of spice, definitely great for cocktails.

Would highly recommend stopping in to try.

Nice place, friendly staff, but only one waitress working, poor girl was busting her butt. The food was good, decent price, drinks were great. Only downfall was that our starter came out the same time as our food. Other then that it was a nice place to stop and check out. We would definitely stop back in for drinks.

Out of the plethora of restaurants in the Dells we picked this one because of the “gourmet hamburgers” and “specialty tater tots” they advertised. When the food came I was actually shocked that the $11.99 Mac and cheese tots my son ordered were obviously frozen tater tots with box macaroni and cheese on top. This is a specialty? The Lone Star Burger advertised as gourmet was obviously frozen and the pork on top was dry and overly salty. I never waste food but the burger was so bad, as you can see from the photo, I could not finish it and did not ask for it to go box. I had a bad taste in my mouth for several hours. I am really surprised at all the good reviews. I gave it two stars only because the waitress was sweet and the beer was ice cold

Amazing food, excellent drinks and great service. The pretzel rounds were delicious, the BLT Tots delectable, and the Whiskey Pork and Shrimp sandwich, Devine! Would recommend to anyone.

Came to the Dells for a relaxation vacation with my husband and we were looking for a place to eat dinner. Found this place down the road from our hotel and we figured we would give it a shot. We were NOT disappointed. I got the Philly tots and my husband got the City Slicker sandwich and fully loaded tots. So incredibly delicious. Highly recommend!

The coolest thing was the tmnt Michelangelo head. Slow service, sat at the bar. Out food actually sat at the end of the bar for at least 5-10 minutes before it was brought to us. Tasted fine, Would not recommend coming here. Check out Mac’s!

Very nice place! We stopped in for a cold beer and a quick bite. We had the pizza tots and they were delicious. The bartender was super nice and helpful. Definitely a place you want to stop if you’re the area.

This is a great place, lots of room up and down with a patio up too and lots of TV’s. The food is great. My wife and I split a sandwich and a side order of loaded tots. I also tried 2 sample shots of the whiskey that they sell in bottles. Yum
