Twin Oaks Golf Course Denmark, WI

Bar Review of Twin Oaks in Green Bay, WI

It's Friday night and I had the rare evening off. Being a full Wisconsin-ite I did what everybody else would be doing on a Friday night: cocktails and perch. A girlfriend of mine and I wanted to avoid the perch crowd and go a little ways away. We drove out to Denmark (yes, I had to pass Redwoods to get there and yes it was beyond packed there). We arrived at Twin Oaks in no time, thanks to empty somewhat country roads.

Twin Oaks, as I said, is located in Denmark off Country Road R and it's a golf course. During the winter, Twin Oaks is only open on Fridays but during the actual golf season it's open every day. When we walked in we were greeted with a packed bar and crowded dining room. We squeezed our way to the bar and sat at the only two bar chairs left. There were two bartenders on and several servers around. I know they were busy, trust me I totally understand being in the weeds, so let's just say you need to sit down and relax, service is slow and leave it at that. When I first moved here people told me I would have to try Old Fashions, they were a Wisconsin or Midwest thing. And I did. I felt like I failed the test, to me Old Fashions tasted like a root beer gone bad or something. But lately, that's all I want. I learned how to properly make them (thank you Nicky's) and I have them at home all the time. I still think they're gross but I like them at the same time. I can't better explain it or I would. Maybe I just wasn't ready to let go of my Florida or Chicago roots?? Anyway I ordered a whiskey old fashion press and my partner in crime ordered a brandy old fashion press. They were $3.50 each and tasted okay. But super cheap drinks are always cool. If you're not a true Wisconsin-ite like me, then, not to worry but Twin Oaks has a little something for everyone. On tap they carry Miller lite, Bud Light, Leinie's Honey, Leinie's Seasonal and Root Beer. Which, by the way, is awesome. I love it when places have root beer on tap, it's just so cute. In bottles they have more of the Miller, Bud and Coors variety along with other favorites such as Corona and Mike's Hard Lemonade. In the vino category they have plenty. From the looks of it, the brand Barefoot is their house wine for reds and whites while this establishment also has other non-house brands too. I would tell you what kind but I couldn't see from where I was sitting and when I asked for a menu (food or drink) the bartender simply said no. When going to Twin Oaks, keep in mind that you should know what you want to eat and drink just in case they are too busy to help you.

The bar at Twin Oaks is of a good size. It's in a square shape with lots of bar stools around. There are also a few hi-top tables in the bar area for a group to sit and face each other. The crowd ranged in age from baby to gramps and some were dressed up and some weren't. It was definitely a mixed crowd with everyone mingling and chit chatting while waiting for some delicious perch.
