Kimkasi Pub — Restaurant in Fontana-on-Geneva Lake

This recently opened cozy cocktail bar is a short walk from the Abbey Resort where my wife and I enjoy staying 2-4 times per year. We enjoy going to the many small family owned businesses in the area and were excited to try this new spot for the first time.

When you enter you immediately notice a warm and comfortable atmosphere with great natural light and a gorgeous stained glass art piece hanging prominently over the bar. After you settle in and spend some time there you also notice how incredibly clean the place is, including the floor behind the bar: You know you are in a place where the owners truly care about their business and your experience.

We quickly felt like old friends as we started chatting with Kim, one of the owners, who was working the bar and her husband who offered us several very helpful recommendations for other businesses in the area to try. We did follow-up on one of his recommendations for dinner the next night at the Next Door Pub and Pizza which was excellent, but that's a separate review.

My wife and I both enjoy Sangria and theirs's is delicious (secret ingredient = brandy). I also enjoy Malbec and noticed they only had one to offer from Portugal. This struck me as a bold selection on their part because as anyone who drinks Malbec regularly knows they are predominantly from South America. Truth be told the Portuguese Malbec was among the best I have ever enjoyed - Well Done Kimkasi!

They also offer you individually wrapped homemade pretzel sticks which are delicious and fun to snack on as you enjoy your cocktails. We thought the prices were reasonable, fair, and inviting. We were enjoying ourselves so much that we pushed our dinner reservations at 240 West back a bit just to enjoy our experience there just a little bit longer.

Suffice it to say we look forward to going back soon with our friends who live in the area and recommending this spot to anyone looking for something cool and even a...

Nice, mellow spot with a good selection of beer and cocktails. This may be a back-handed compliment, but it was great to get to a bar on a Saturday evening without having to fight for attention. Our server was prompt and friendly, and we didn't have to wait for our orders. Capacity is probably about 60, give or take, so you can have a conversation without having to shout and order drinks without having to shoulder past anyone--a great blend between busy-ish without...

Went here for the first time. We live 35 minutes away. The staff was amazing. The custom drinks were so good. I stopped in for one drink . Ended up having two. The pretzels were so good they need to sell them. It was so clean and the atmosphere was so relaxing. I'm a female and was so impressed by the clean and cute decorations of the bathroom. Will tell everyone I know to stop there if in the area. Can not...
