Amazing event space!!!! When I lived in Sauk, I loved this cocktail bar and restaurant when they first opened. Last weekend we hosted my sisters wedding shower there and it couldn’t have been more perfect. We had a sort of last minute turn around in planning this occasion and Jesse helped make it all happen!! He accommodated a weekend for us even though it was close to the event date, and pulled everything together quickly and efficiently. Super accommodating, super reasonable price for what an amazing space this is, wonderful array of food options, and cocktail and drink options. We rented the Speakeasy for the evening and it was perfect - plenty of space yet still quaint. Amazing view of the river. They also allowed us to rent the patio space which was a 10/10 hit for everyone. The space comes with two private bathrooms and a private entry to the outdoor space which was perfect. I genuinely can’t say enough great things about this place or their people. Tricia helped plan the event also, and was on-site working that evening and she was amazing. SUCH AN UNDERRATED PLACE!!!!! I don’t know how it’s still such a hidden gem??? soooo grateful we were able to celebrate here. Everything was above & beyond. Can’t say thanks enough to Jesse, Tricia, and the whole team there. Our guests all raved about the space too & expressed future events they’d love to host there. THANK YOU WATER...
Read moreWhat a fun spot. The views outside of the river area set the stage for a relaxing meal. The variety on the menu makes it fun to return . We've had an early dinner, brunch and snacks and drinks. All have been enjoyable with our favorite being their brunch. For Bruch my husband enjoyed the bananas foster pancakes. I ate the poached eggs with bacon jam a salad and hollandaise sauce on the side. Both meals were exceptional . My eggs were perfectly poached, and I do mean perfectly! The bacon jam added just a hint of sweet. The thinly sliced ham was so much better than the typical Canadian bacon. The hollandaise was also excellent. Sometimes hollandaise can be gloopy. This was not.
The Bananas Foster pancakes were also exceptional. The locally sources flour made the pancakes light and fluff. The sauce that came with the pancakes took things over the top. The bacon was thick cut and smokey adding a nice touch to the dish. Add to that the Bloody Mary cocktails and you have a special breakfast for sure. Our server, Cristy was great. She was efficient, pleasant and helpful.
We've also.eaten the Russian dumplings, the deviled eggs, and the mahi mahi tacos. Each of these items were a fun eat and prepared in a way you don't typically see in the area. If you add in one of the signature cocktails like the Notorious Pig and you'll find the Water Street Social Club a special...
Read moreThis place is new and they are doing their best to create something Sauk Prairie doesn’t have. Different food, nightlife and cocktails. It’s tough to get things right 100% of the time. The owners are great and personable, and do so much but their other staff- not so much. I’ve been here several times and in my honest opinion they need to master basics before they try to do all this fancy stuff. Their food menu changes a lot, and the prices are very high for what you get, but the taste is good! Consistency is key. On new years, one of the owners made me an incredible gin martini. Last week, their other bartender made one with a whole shot of vermouth in it and it was undrinkable. He never asked how my drink was. No one checked in on us. As a bartender I believe a 2 minute check back is so important. I’ve also been here where I’ve waited 10-15 minutes for a drink because their cocktail menu is so vast, it’s great to appeal to a lot of variety but when bartenders are bogged down with complicated drinks, and can’t take a new order, it can be frustrating. In short, reliable staff, menus, and consistent product will go so far for water street! I’ve never been there for their music or sat on their patio so I’m excited to try again and hope they continue to listen and improve. I genuinely want...
