What started with a trip to the Green Bay Home Show turned into an amazing Saturday adventure! We explored the scenic Wequiock Falls, even without much water, and ended up in Sturgeon Bay for live music, great food, and beautiful views. Read about the surprises we found along the way! views, and live music in Sturgeon Bay. A day full of surprises, scenic spots, and fun discoveries.

Sunday afternoon we wanted to meet up with our family down by Fond du lac. So we wanted to meet somewhere in the middle. After talking about different spots to go to. Cedar Lodge was brought up. I have not been there in over 5 years. So we thought why not go try it again? Really never heard anyone talk bad about the place and my last experience from what I remember was good. So off to Cedar Lodge Supper Club we went. They are located in Malone about halfway down Lake Winnebago. Located on the East side of the lake. Was about a 40 min drive from Appleton. The drive wasn't bad. We got there and put our names in for a table. The place was pretty busy but the wait time was only about 30 min. It was nice to hang out on their small outdoor patio and have a drink. After our wait, we went in and got to our table. It's really nothing fancy in terms of decoration, so it's pretty low-key. But I was alright with that when the food and drinks were good. Service and drinks were good. We ordered our food and it came out quickly. The food was really good. I would recommend heading out and giving them a try. Here are some photos for you to check out. If you are looking for things to do make sure to check out WiParty.com!
A stop out to a Fox Valley favorite. George's Steak House in Appleton. This place is still a true old-school-style supper club. It truly is like walking back in time. From the old wood panel walls, 70 style seats, to statues of knights. We walked into the bar and at the end of the bar is a piano player. A number of people were wrapped around the tabletop of the piano and were listening to him perform. I ordered up a tall Old Fashion which was very good. The bartenders were fast and very friendly. We had to wait about an hour to get our table. Really not a problem for us as we were enjoying the drinks and the piano player. We got seated and since it was Friday night I decided to go with the Haddock special. Which I will give a thumbs up as well as the clam chowder. My wife and friend ordered steakas a ribeye and the other a NY strip. Both steaks were on point with great flavor the NY Strip was like cutting into butter. Pricing was fair for what you get. Put this place on your food stop in the future. I have added some photos for you to check out. I hope you enjoy them! If you are looking for things to do make sure to check out WiParty.com!
So this week we checked out Dairyland Brew Pub. We heard they did a Wednesday night free bacon with the purchase of an adult drink and kids are welcome. If you talk about bacon I am usually in! So we took our little man and headed over to get some dinner, an adult beverage, and some bacon. The bar is located on East Wisconsin Ave. The bar is clean and friendly with a pretty solid menu. We got our adult beverages and sure enough, they offer up bacon. So bring it on! They brought out a nice plate full of bacon. Which was very good. The owner Dorri happened to be there and she was doing music trivia. Which I believe usually is Tuesdays. But it worked out well for us. The trivia is based on generations and genre. Which I believe was about 10 – 12 questions per category. I am not a big trivia person. But it actually was fun. My wife was on target and actually won a few rounds. So winners got cash, drinks and she also gave away scratch-off instant win games. The place is kid-friendly for diner time. Which is nice for us old family people. We also tried the boneless wings which were 70 cents a pop. Which is also a Wednesday night special. I would rate the wings as ok. They are breaded chicken chunks with different sauces added. Out little man also wanted to try out the big pretzel which was pretty good and we had to try out the Duck Fat Fries. They are very good and the recommended Garlic Aioli dipping sauce was a good call. So we really did enjoy going here. Good atmosphere, with a fun crowd. The only thing that we noticed is that like every were it else they were a little understaffed. So we had to wait for drinks and food service. Our waitress took care of us and about 8 – 10 people at the bar. Considering what she was covering she did a great job. Once we ordered the food came out very quickly. We also noticed that they had the Take 2 band coming in on Saturday night. So we decided we should come back and check that out. Since we both are Take 2 fans. So Saturday night we came back to see the band. Overall this venue is pretty decent for a Live Music venue. Drinks were good, service was good and Take-Two was good. As usual, I have some photos and videos for you to check out. I hope you enjoy them.
See all photos here! Looking for things to do this weekend?
