The Woolly Bear Taphouse — Restaurant in Viroqua

I recently met some colleagues at the Woolly Bear for some laughs, some pickle pizza, and some quality ales, and I noticed much to my surprise that they had a jar of “Aunt Sherie’s World-famous Pickled Eggs”. Once I was backpacking through the Himalayas and I met an elderly man who lived in a cave. We exchanged pleasantries and I revealed that I was from Wisconsin. He exclaimed, “You must have tried Aunt Sherie’s pickled eggs!!!” I thought he was insane, until I walked into the Woolly Bear and saw a jar of them behind the bar! The very strong bartender grabbed four at once with her large hand and let me eat them! They are indeed...

Four words: gluten. free. pickle. pizza. Giving five stars for this alone -- the dipping sauce was out of this world and the cauliflower crust was fantastic. Lots of canned GF beer options, and they had two ciders and a seltzer on tap when we were there. And oh, wine too!

Minus a star for service because, while the bar tender was lovely, she was clearly overwhelmed and the service suffered a bit.

Minus a star for atmosphere because an inebriated man named Adam came in at one point and was QUITE loud.

The taco truck looked amazing, too, and they had games for kiddos and adults.

Would definitely go...

The coolest little spot for drinks, community and the world famous pickle pie! Viroqua’s first and original home of the pickle pizza. An incredible variety of tasty beers, rotating almost every other day so there’s always something new. The staff is quality and the owner really knows his stuff and puts his heart into all he does. Plus there’s a patio! Come...
