Dairyland Brew Pub - Free Bacon and Take 2 Acoustic Band
So this week we checked out Dairyland Brew Pub. We heard they did a Wednesday night free bacon with the purchase of an adult drink and kids are welcome. If you talk about bacon I am usually in! So we took our little man and headed over to get some dinner, an adult beverage, and some bacon. The bar is located on East Wisconsin Ave. The bar is clean and friendly with a pretty solid menu. We got our adult beverages and sure enough, they offer up bacon. So bring it on! They brought out a nice plate full of bacon. Which was very good. The owner Dorri happened to be there and she was doing music trivia. Which I believe usually is Tuesdays. But it worked out well for us. The trivia is based on generations and genre. Which I believe was about 10 – 12 questions per category. I am not a big trivia person. But it actually was fun. My wife was on target and actually won a few rounds. So winners got cash, drinks and she also gave away scratch-off instant win games. The place is kid-friendly for diner time. Which is nice for us old family people. We also tried the boneless wings which were 70 cents a pop. Which is also a Wednesday night special. I would rate the wings as ok. They are breaded chicken chunks with different sauces added. Out little man also wanted to try out the big pretzel which was pretty good and we had to try out the Duck Fat Fries. They are very good and the recommended Garlic Aioli dipping sauce was a good call. So we really did enjoy going here. Good atmosphere, with a fun crowd. The only thing that we noticed is that like every were it else they were a little understaffed. So we had to wait for drinks and food service. Our waitress took care of us and about 8 – 10 people at the bar. Considering what she was covering she did a great job. Once we ordered the food came out very quickly. We also noticed that they had the Take 2 band coming in on Saturday night. So we decided we should come back and check that out. Since we both are Take 2 fans. So Saturday night we came back to see the band. Overall this venue is pretty decent for a Live Music venue. Drinks were good, service was good and Take-Two was good. As usual, I have some photos and videos for you to check out. I hope you enjoy them.
Downtown Appleton Nightlife in November of 2005. Thats right we are taking you back in the way back machine to get a glimpse of the party atmosphere in 2005. I have a bunch of photos from a number of different bars that are or were in Downtown Appleton as well as a few just a little ways from downtown. Including the famous Cold Shot Bar on Richmond St and the old Horseshoe Saloon that is now gone. The list on the old college avenue strip starts with one of my old favorites Drinks Inc which was always one of my first and last stops. Then of course Speakeasy, MillCreek Blues, The Bar on the Ave, and a run down the strip to the old Fish House. I also have a few shots of a young Reverand Raven and the Chain Smoking Alterboys as well as the Fineline band. Looking back at these it is hard to believe how long ago this was. I hope you enjoy the photos and the video! Make sure you find your friends in the photos and send them a link to take a run down memory lane. See allphotos here! Looking for things to do this weekend?
Take 2 acoustic band at Northland Sports Pub & Grill
See all of the photos Saturday Night we went and grabbed some diner and got a call from friends asking us to meet them out at Northland Sports pub and grill. How can you pass that offer up when I knew the Take 2 Acoustic show was going on. We have been watching these 2 guys play since they were just young boys. They are some of the nicest guys you will ever meet. I always enjoy watching entertainers that really love their craft and these 2 do just that every time. It is always great to see them and to watch how much they have improved over the years. If you have not been to one of the shows. Get your butt in gear and get yourself out the door to listen to these 2 brothers crank out some awesome music from 70, 80 & 90's. They always seem up to a challenge so don't be afraid to ask for a song you love.
I hope you enjoy the photos! See all the photos - Photo Gallery
Brunch of Drag show at Calavera's & Boating Lake Winnebago
Brunch of Drag Show at Calavera's Downtown Appleton
See all of the photos Well for Sunday Fun day this week. We stepped things up a little and went to the Brunch of Drag show at Calavera's Fine Fusions in downtown Appleton. We had some very cool drinks including a Maple Bacon Bourbon Old Fashion, Mimosa's, Bloody's, and the Cazuela. A citrusy drink served in a clay bowl. All of their drinks really are unique and push your brain into figuring out what your taste buds are trying to tell you. The drag show was a group of 3 performers including Sasha Monroe that came out and entertained the crowd. The show included mimosa's a very nicely done brunch with sandwiches, charcuterie, bagels, jams, cheese, yogurt, fruit, and some chocolate caramels. This bar has a cool vibe that is fun and creative as well as a great sound system and a friendly staff. If you are looking to change things up take some time out and give Calavera's a try. After the show, we switched gears and grabbed the kids and your group of friends, and headed on the pontoon bar to hit lake Winnebago and hang out in front of Waverly Beach. It was a great day out and the lake was calm. We stopped up to the bar and grabbed a few drinks and ran into more friends. I have to admit the service seems to be lacking at Waverly as well as the food is nothing to brag about. We still love the location. I really hope they can get things put back together. We headed home and stopped at The Old Grog in Menasha for a very good $8 - 4 piece chicken diner. This place is a lot of fun and worth your time to stop in and check out.
