text: It took us tries to eat at the Brink The first was a Sunday and it was so empty that we figured Do we gamble on an empty restaurant during peak brunch hours We decided not to and went somewhere else The second time there was a Rape Crisis function happening We came in on the tail end of it so we were not greeted by any Brink employees to say Hey this is about to end We will get you set right up So we just went somewhere else The third time was a Wednesday night There were maybe patrons in the place and a band setting up We do not like to eat when we do not know what the music is going to be but it looked like it was going to take them awhile to set up and we did not want to leave AGAIN so we sat at the bar for dinner There was a small selection of decent draft beer I had a Dogfish Head minute IPAalways a good beer My dinner partner had a peach cosmo Tasty in that Schnappsy sort of waynothing fresh about it nnWe ordered the fondue because it was the only nontraditional bar food item on the menu The flavor was right good consistency but the selection of items to dip was not much to look at broccoli carrots packaged minicarrots toasted bread and celeryyes celery We also ordered personal pizzas I had the BBQ chicken and added Jalapenowho does not She had a Greek Pizza Both were pretty good but again this place is not trying to be real fancy nnSo make sure you check their calendar before you gothere seems to be a lot of functions at this placeand you might want to know what kind of music is going to be played before you show up The blues rock band struck up just as we were finishing and they were playing to a table of what we could only assume were older friends and family Someone is grandma was definitely getting her groove on nnThe food will fill you up the way Wisconsinites expect to be filledamply and without frill No cheese curds on the menusomehow
