“ We were on our way home from Lacrosse and wanted a Bloody Mary! We found this place on google! When we arrived the owner was working it use to be her dads bar. We ordered a Bloody Mary and she asked if we want a regular or loaded! We obviously ordered the loaded one and it was more then we ever imagined!!! It was such a good price too!!! These bloodies use to be her dads baby and she continues the tradition! They are only on Sunday and she only makes so many!!! They were 10/10. She was so friendly and welcoming. We bought a shirt before we left! We will be back if we’re in the area again! ”

“ On April 16th I went to Mankato bar for the first time for a karaoke show they had there that night. The people there or so welcoming to someone they hadn't seen before and made me feel right at home. Even the owner Julie came over and welcomed me. I have never had that kind of experience going in to a small bar in a small town. I want to add got the karaoke was fantastic and there were more great singers there then any karaoke show I have been to since living in Wisconsin. Mankato bar it's a fantastic place to do karaoke and have fun with cool people. Looking forward to the next karaoke show they have there so I can go again. ”
