Braun’s Powerhouse

Really nice corner bar with friendly service, good food and drink specials. However, I can’t recommend it for a Packer game, unless you want to have your ears blown out between every play by an awful DJ. Even while game play was happening, he was blasting terrible music («Lucky» by Britney Spears? Seriously? During a Packer game? When it’s 3^rd & 8? Really?)
I use the word «blasting» because if the game volume was at a 10, his «New Music Now! Volume 8!» CD was at about 1,000. I overheard the bartender comment about how she thought they would have been busier for the game. Get rid of that DJ, and you will be. Nobody wants to hear all that!
I really love this bar otherwise!

Love this place! We have been here twice now and have all unanimously decided to call this home for our «work meetings». Same bartender both times and she was lovely. The regulars are friendly and rave about the food. There is a seriously great patio and they have AWESOME specials. Domestic bottles $ 2 until 7. And did I mention their beer and bacon special? Yep, they have three options of beer served with a side of bacon that is cooked fresh when you order!

It was dece. 32 oz (2 pounds) beers are a fun gimmick, decently priced but not, like, a screaming bargain.
Went on burger night. So, had burgers obviously. The burger night burgers are small but, hey, cheap. They appear to have larger, like, «real» burgers as well. So I’ll probably be back to try that or maybe the wings. And of course pound a couple more pounds of beer.

What a letdown. As I live in the area, I was pretty stoked about checking this place out. The good: As we walked in I was impressed with the renovated interior and patio. Now the bad: Upon arriving we were pretty much ignored by the bartender and had to actually flag her over to get her attention (there were maybe 5 people in the place). I asked to sit on the patio and was told «go ahead». I saw myself out and waited, and waited… and waited. When she finally arrived I was given a sticky disgusting menu. About 20 minutes later she returned to take my order, another 20 minutes or so my food arrived which I thought was pretty quick. The food wasn’t bad but it was quite bland, even for bar food. I never saw my server again. I had to go inside and locate someone to pay my bill. Upon going inside I was blown off and directed to someone else who was equally disinterested. I paid for my food and got the hell out of there. I should have just left without paying– no one else gave a s*** so why should I? No I’m not a thief, but it was tempting. Bad service, bad attitude, and McDonald’s quality food. Not going back. What a shame.

Great local bar. Lots of drink specials and a beautiful outdoor patio with a fire pit. Cheese curds are amazing. Nice selection of local beers. Definitely would recommend.
