Ray & Dot's Tap
3 reviews for Ray & Dot's Tap
When I lived in Greenfield, this really was the only decent bar near me that I enjoyed going to. My friends and I would go there and drink many, many taps of PBR on the cheap.
The atmosphere is usually good. I've met some really awesome people there. Sadly, I've lost touch with some of them. They have a juke which is always playing a decent mix of music. Prices are cheap. It's a VFW hall for gods sake. The only downside is the wait for drinks on the weekend can be quite long which as usual annoys me since I tip well.
Ray & Dot's is an institution - it's an old VFW Post - you MUST go at least once just for the experience. I would highly recommend not going during the day however because it's just downright depressing. It's one of the few places where you'll see a Vietnam war veteran sitting next to a barely 21-year-old blonde and her meathead Brewer ball cap wearing boyfriend.
My friends held a surprise 30th birthday party for me here. I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else (at the time anyway). Yes, the smoke will choke the life out of even the most ardent smoker. But the beer is so friggin cheap you'll have to work hard to spend $10. The bar food is pretty much all fried - just as it should be. Plenty of darts and pool to be had, and usually there's some nifty raffle going on to win a Weber grill or some Packers stuff.
Odd side note: We were at Ray & Dot's the night the verdict was announced on the Mark Chmura case. It was so quiet in the place you could hear a pin drop - everyone was watching the TVs. lol
You don't get a better atmosphere than this. This is the bar to go to in the afternoon to grab a beer and chill with a friend. The cheese curds and bar food is fantastic and everyone is nice and friendly. If planning to spend more than an hour, be careful with the drinks. They're strong and cheap and can lead only to trouble.
Warning, this place get REALLY smokey at night.
