The Dells - Any Decent Options?

[jimmyr78]

Going to be staying at Lake Blass this coming week (thankfully, convinced the wife to avoid the heart of "Branson of the North"). Am interested in decent places to buy and consumer beer.

Thanks in advance!

Was just there this weekend. I found nothing worthwhile on tap. Viking Liquors had a nice bottle selection (loads of Toppling Goliath). Liquor Central wasn't bad either. Both spots had everything in the cooler.

Pretty sure this was the place I was at a few years ago. Ordered two Dale's Pale Ales, the bartender chick comes back and sets two nails on the bar and walk away. Must be some sort of joke there, or they knew we were FIBs.

First, my apologies if you live in the Dells, but as a Missourian, I'm going to have to vote that it's WORSE than Branson as a kitschy, redneck-centric vacation destination. That is a feat.

Second, Viking Liquors was actually great. I found not only some great beers (Psuedo Sue, bunch of Surly stuff, etc.), but also some really nice bourbons on the back shelf, including two bottles of Mid Winter's Night Dram, lots of Stagg Jr, Eagle Rare, and other goodies. Great selection and service.

After looking into most of the restaurants with tap lists - and spending two hours in Lake Delton proper - I decided to shelter myself in our lake house, cook every night and drink the haul that I got at Viking. It was a great trip (crappie fishing on Lake Blass was phenomenal, for those who care).
