Blarney Stone Tavern

Reviews & Tips

  My friends and I went skiing at Cascade and decided to check out what bars downtown Portage had to offer.  One of the Cascade employees recommended it to us, saying it was where the locals hang out.  We were sold on the idea when we learned that we could call a cab to take us there from the hotel (the cabs in Portage were very quick by the way).
  
  So our group of 8 Chicagoans descended upon the local joint.  Blarney Stone was just what we were looking for, cheap drinks, a pool table, and a jukebox.  We stayed almost until closing, it never got too busy, we made up half of the bars patrons.
  
  We found most people included the female bartender to be quite friendly.  There was a bald gentleman who stepped behind the bar and started to bartend a couple times (he had been sitting at the bar drinking).  He did not like the fact that we were out of towners and was very rude to us.  He charged us twice as much for our drinks, and he was a complete jerk about making our drinks - if he made them at all.  The issue was resolved when I spoke to the female bartender and she agreed to have him leave us alone.
  
  Although that one guy was rude to us, we still had a great night.
