"On Monday February 5th, 2024 10:30pm. I came to the wigwam bar that night to intentionally buy a burger because it was around decent time to still order a burger. I just asked the bartender if they had one of the grills open for burgers she said we do not have the grill open but, we do still have appetizers". I said "okay I'll do onion rings". So later I order myself a drink and I decided to go play darts and I played until probably 11:20. I find out that another customer orders a burger and she accepts that and remember she told me that they were not open, which sounded like all night so. I told her if the girlls were open she said "yes". In my mind when she told me that I felt very betrayed as a customer to someone who got of course turned down from ordering a burger. When she was able to order another customer a Burger I didn't feel like I wanted one because at the end of the day she now wants to open up the grill for another customer but not me. So coming to I asked her why she ordered a customer a burger and not me this was her sayings she said" it is the bartender's choice to have the grill or the kitchen open". I was okay with that I know a few bartenders don't have the Grill open when they bartend so I totally understand what she was saying at that moment. Then she went and goes." I'm just going to be honest the reason why is you don't tip me, im just being honest with you, I keep track of people who doesn't tip me". Now at that moment I literally had almost an anxiety attack and she gave me this reason for me to feel bad now,I am a very much regular person that goes to that bar especially during the summertime not as much as a winter because it gets cold outside. I swear to God!! I haven't seen that bartender since last year and the fact that she tells me that I have never tipped her is a lie. I don't understand what's the point to be tracking people like that. I've been going to that bar since I turned 21. Right now I'm 23, I started going there every time and I've done tipped all the bartenders even on their slowest days and I know I have done tip this bartender even on her slowest days. So after she told me that I really did feel like she was just complaining and being very Petty towards me, I also felt like I didn't want people to be in my money Pockets like that as well. So in the night I'm finishing up my first drink I told her "how do I make up for not tipping you". She told me "oh it's fine, you're fine don't worry about it. I'm working in this job that gives me $7 wage". With a snobby attitude, And I'm thinking in my head what I got to do with me. So in conclusion long story short for all the customers that comes to this bar let anybody know if anybody treats you like this because not all the bartenders are right!!! Happy Black History Month!"
"This place has really good food and daily specials, with prices that haven’t been drastically inflated I’ve tried a variety of meals here but I really like the wings, poutine and fish fry. Also been here for a few fun nights of karaoke (I think Fridays? Not sure) & darts. It can get busy but sometimes a quiet place to take a casual date. Casual as in vibe, not as in the status of your situationship Overall this is just a laid back, unassuming place that you might call a “Wisconsin dive” but is one of the best places in town"
"Don’t come here if you are not white. The waitress may think you blend into the background. I sat at the bar. She never looked at me or asked whether I wanted a drink or food. But she asked the guy next to me and gave him a new beer. Now, I am the only Asian in the establishment. Racism? More likely than not. Inexcusably poor service? Definitely."
"Stopped here with some friends after running a half marathon race. The atmosphere was really cool. Basically it's a little loca bar with excellent food. I had a bacon cheeseburger and was one of the best burgers I've ever had!! Definitely worth stopping here, they are also well for their wings, but the sell out fast."
"Great food and service. Comfy feel and welcoming atmosphere. A good place to hang out with friends and have a beer or grab a bite to eat. Feels like a small town tavern."
