I was disappointed in the limited menu choices, especially after having such a wide variety of items at Lanny's Fireside (mentioned upstream in this thread). Probably my bad for not checking Marty's menu before going to manage my expectations.
Marty's delivers on the supper club atmosphere but I probably won't go out of my way to go again unless on a night where one of the specials catches my attention.
Very nice craft beer selection both bottles & on tap.

Went to Aqualand Gastropub on Saturday night. They have changed that menu since they first opened up, I seem to recall more offerings on the menu when they first opened. I'm not sure if they should be allowed to call themselves a Gastropub if all they serve is pizza and sandwiches.nr706 wrote:Tried the new Aqualand Gastropub, just slightly west of downtown Boulder Junction on K. The place has a lot of potential, with a good selection of beers on tap (at good prices), plus a wide variety in bottles, especially from smaller Wisconsin breweries. Sadly, on our visit, they hadn't worked out the kinks that come with being new. We were told food would take 25 minutes; we didn't receive it for almost an hour. Fortunately, that left more time to drink beer, and pass the time with one of the many sets of trivial pursuit cards that are along the bar. When we did get the food, it was good - better than any other bar in BJ (quesedillas and pulled pork for us). If they can get their service act together, it could become a destination for the area.
Did a bit of hiking at Bond Falls in the UP, chores at the cabin (mostly roof raking), then snowmobiling until the wee hours of Sunday morning. I'm beat ! Did you play in the pond hockey tourney?Puckjam wrote:Is that why you were in the area also?
corned beef still quite tasty and still homemade at Sisters Saloon. Waiter stated pastrami is now also made in house, didn't get a chance to try as my dining companion wolfed their sandwich down.Sweet Willie wrote:Update on a few places after Labor Day weekend.
Lunch at Sisters Saloon in St Germain. Found out the chef & his wife have left Sisters Saloon, the owner has brought in a new chef. Menu is now not as extensive as before, corned beef still made in house, so rueben was good.

The brother-in-law was looking for good local places with WiFi near our place in MW, and the first one that came up was called "Some Nerve." As a beer guy, I (and he) couldn't believe I'd never heard of it. It's a tiny brewery (3 bbl system) on Hwy 51, just a bit south of Little Bohemia (where Dillinger and Baby Face Nelson evaded the feds, bullet holes still there, and where the 2009 film "Public Enemies" starring Johnny Depp was filmed, in part).

Pastrami is also homemade and surpasses the corned beef IMO. So good, have had it for lunch a few times this summer.Sweet Willie wrote:Lunch at Sisters Saloon in St Germain.
