Tony's

The sign for Tony's Bar, which was founded by the (now ex) husband of one of my dear friends. Tony's used to be across the street, where Odyssey Gastropub is now, next door to Colorado Co-Op, but a few years ago it moved into the space vacated by the dearly departed Compleat Games and Hobbies (RIP!). It has a Wisconsin tavern vibe, which as I understand it is because that's where he's originally from. I was born in northern Wisconsin (surprise!) and my grandparents used to take my brother and me to taverns with them all the time. Wholesome childhood, I know. 😉 Anyway, I can say that Tony's is a fairly close approximation to the legit Wisconsin taverns of my childhood, including lots of Green Bay Packers stuff, and that's all right with me.
