We chose this place because they had been highlighting a menu for Dry January and we were immediately excited by that. The staff was absolutely incredible start to finish. The place makes you feel at home, the moment you walk in and you can even bring your dog! So it really is like home! We know this makes us weirdos but we were actually thrilled when they were out of some of their Dry January menu items because it made us feel like there was a demand for them, a place in the world for them, and this place was a place for that.

Beautiful night at Lucille for Miracle on King! The mocks mo!cked and the cocks cocked and we cannot wait to tell you all about it!

If you haven’t check out @drinkoctopi in Waunakee, please do. We love us some @untitledartbev brews and they have ALL of them; easy since its brewed right there. Keep an eye out for our full review which is going to have all the 🐋 tails.

We finally made it to Mint Mark! What. A. Gem. This place was adorable and had the sweetest staff! It was recommended to us that we show up around 5pm instead of our standard 6pm due to the speed at which this joint fills up and boy were they right. Which is an amazing problem to have!

So nice, we had to go twice! We LOVED Good Co. at Pioneer Pointe. We didn’t even realize we were missing a place like this until it existed and now we don’t want to live without it.

The drinks are why we come, the experience is why we stay. The drinks were tremendous and we’re both still dreaming of the London Fog. The execution of the mocktail menu was about as close to perfect as it gets, the only slight miss was the NA Old Fashioned, but who cares when you have every other drink sitting at the literal top of all mocktail dreams.

Tails Up Tuesday had us heading to the stunningly beautiful brand new Amara at Hilldale. This place was absolutely gorgeous, they left absolutely no detail to chance. The way the restaurant and bar flowed, the lighting, you name it, they did it well. If you’re looking for that place for a holiday dinner, this is it.

The staff was wonderful. We had the sweetest server and everyone around her, management, assistants, you name it, were all so kind, so welcoming and so attentive. They were so generous to start us off with their B&H Sampler and the Jones Dairy Farm Bacon & Korean Ribs, or, as Katy lovingly dubbed it, “hangin’ Bacon” – both stunning and delicious.

This week we headed to Café Hollander at Hilldale in Madison, WI. This location is a blast, right in the middle of the action of a shopping and entertainment district. It’s a fairly large restaurant, two stories, with a huge bar area, and ample outdoor seating as well.

As you walk into the Muskellounge on Monona Drive, arguably a busy bustling street, you feel immediately transported to a woodsy bar up north. An incredibly cozy, wood paneled bar popped up in a completely non-descript strip mall bordering Madison and Monona and we loved all of it. Like, genuinely can’t wait to return to enjoy the cozy atmosphere, because winters in Wisconsin are horrendous, kind of love. That really says something, a place that you are willing to leave your home for in the dead of winter because you know that it will be so lovely.

Well, we found heaven one night recently at Salvatore’s Tomato Pies in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. First, thank you to Chris, our excellent server and to the bar manager, Jack, who so clearly has put a lot of love and energy in to an extensive and delicious mocktail (and cocktail) menu.
