venue Mickey's Tavern

Laid out like a big, rambling house, Mickey’s boasts a menu as eccentric as its thrift-store-kitsch decor. Decent hamburgers, tasty sandwiches, hit-or-miss cheese curds (sometimes not as hot and melted as desired), and a thick, indulgent mac and cheese all prove to be above-average bar food, but the bar’s signature dish, sexy fries, takes the spotlight. The paper-thin, homemade potato slices are drizzled with truffle oil and finished with shredded, aged parmesan. The fries are a perfect, salty match to drinks served out on Mickey’s patio, and there are plenty of brews to pick from, ranging from classic Old Style to Lakefront Brewery and New Glarus beers.
