It sits on US-12 as you head towards Elk Mound, on the corner of a country road. It looks like a house plopped down at the edge of a field. I thought the name was interesting, and headed in the sheltered entrance. That was my first surprise, the stairs went down not up! Now the name made sense!
The bar is in the basement of the house. I actually looks like a rec room bar which has been expanded. The basement window sills are about 5 feet above the floor! There is a pool table which is in an addition to one side which has skylights to let in some natural light.
I was there after work on a weekday, and the crowd was clearly regulars. There is no draft beer, and even the set up behind the bar looks like an expanded “rec room.” At six o’clock, the bartender treated everyone to a drink. Very nice!
Reasonably priced drinks, and an interesting location.
