HELLO
people this is the real deal,it is wisconsin at it'ts finest.Where else can you go and have a burger made of real meat and have a conversation with a local guy that is there,like clock work, everyday at the same time.I live in chicago,downtown in the west loop.I love Bennets.If this place was here in Chicago I would be there.
Like the place; definite dive bar, but breakfast and service are very good. Interesting atmosphere on sat/sun mornings for porn in the morn....you really get desensitized to the porn after the third time or so that you attend one of those events. A lot of hardcore gambling machine players too if you're into that sort of thing.... The machines get a lot of mileage.
Only thing I don't like about this place is the bathrooms...they don't necessarily smell awful but you can smell "old, but cleanish bathroom" scent in roughly a quarter of the bar. ventilation in those bathrooms needs to be redone.
Have you heard rumors about Smut and Eggs? Â You know, the place in Madison that shows hard corn porn on the TV's during breakfast hours on the weekends? Â
This is that place. Â
You know what? Â It's not a big deal. Â By 8:30AM on a Saturday this place is pretty full. Â There are third shifters enjoying a beer, retirees having a bloody mary, and average folk having a cup of coffee and an omelet who are oblivious to the chick getting drilled on the television just 20 feet away.
The breakfast is actually pretty good. Â The omelet was very tasty and sat on a small plate covered in hash browns and toast. Â The quality is below what you'd get at Denny's I will admit. Â But does Denny's have naked people on a television? Â I rest my case. Â
The rest of the day this place is a salt-of-the-Earth type bar. Â Very relaxed atmosphere that makes for a good place to share a pitcher with friends and have a conversation. Â There is even an RV outside where you can have a cigarette. Â
As for a good place to relax, meet anyone from a plumber to school board member, and have a good beer after a long day of work, this is the place. Â And Smut and Eggs. Â That is good too.
