  Came here on our first night.  It's a townie bar, but that's all we were looking for.  I asked for 2 bud lite's, and he said $3.00. I thought he said $3 each, but no, it's $1.50 each, and that's the actual price.  i haven't paid anything that low since college specials, so instantly it's one of my spots.
  
  They had karaoke too, and the singer sang some weird songs, but it added to the experience.  Recommended!

  If you're looking for a classic Wisconsin townie bar experience, look no further!
  
  Poh's is fun, and the drinks are cheap. Very cheap. They also have the "mystery shot" which I believe is just a bottle into which they pour all the little bit of booze that's left at the end of the night. It's $1, if I remember correctly.
  
  Being a small town bar, it opens early and people are hanging out here all day. You can stop in for burgers and fries, grilled right behind the bar. This is real bar food on which all others are based. It does not disappoint!
  
  At night it's a fun place to hang out. Not too crazy (usually) and they have a great jukebox. I recommend stopping by if you find yourself in the area.

  Pretty sure the name of this place is Poh's, not Pooh's, but in any case, they make a good, cheap burger! Dubbed as chargrilled, this thin patty had great flavor and the cheese was flavorful as well. They gave us plenty of pickles for the burgers, and I alternated between mustard and their horseradish sauce as a topping.
  The wavy fries were baked, not fried, to a nicely toasted finish.
  We were in after 9:00 on a Friday night and there were several patrons at the bar dropping f-bombs every other word, but they floated out after a while.
  Service was good, and the price was great.

  It is unclear to me whether the name of this dive bar is pronounced "Pooh" or "Poh".  The sign above the door has an ambiguous fat letter 'o', the menu lists items like "Pooh's special" (a hamburger patty and a brat patty on a buttered bum), and the bartender was wearing a t-shirt for an event sponsored by "Poh's Corner Pub" sans-fat-'o'.  I might have querired one of the two dudes working the bar on a weekday early afternoon about the bar's name had they not been too busy to stop by our corner of the bar and check up on our dining experience.  I mean, there were, like eight other people in the bar at the same time as us.  
  
  Sorry, sorry: I don't mean to hate.  It's just that it took them thirty minutes to make our food (a hamburger and fries for the boyf, chicken tenders for me) and the bartender serving us did not inquire as to whether we would like second drinks during our long wait.  The grill is opposite the far corner of the bar, so we spent much of the time looking at our server's back as he prepared food for other folks; it would have been easy enough for him to turn around and give us the "hey, y'all okay on drinks?" look; he looked so busy (confusingly: was EVERYONE ordering food at the same time? the bar was quite empty!) that I didn't have the heart to interrupt him.  Another reason for the two stars: I didn't see him wash his hands once during thirty plus minutes of food preparation.  I know it's a dive bar, but come on, folks, that's gross.  
  
  So why two stars instead of one?  I have a soft spot in my heart for places with character that don't cater to tourists in tourist towns like Sturgeon Bay.  And the chicken tenders I was eventually served ($4, no fries) were pipping hot and FREAKING DELICIOUS even though they came out of a freezer bag and were cooked in a time-travelling machine look-alike next to the grill.    So I wouldn't discourage anyone from trying out Po(o)h's.  Maybe you will have better service than we did!

  We love Poohs!! It's a stop that we MUST make every time we're in Door County...
  
  The atmosphere is very laid back - they have a machine where you can play music, which is very fun, especially while playing pool.
  
  George and Kim (the owners) are so nice, great conversationalists, and really run the place well.
  
  Drinks: good price, cold beer
  
  Food: The Pooh's burgers are out of this world! They're quite simple, I can't pin point it.. but you can't have just one! The bun is toasted, buttery and adds to the all around goodness! The fries are also very good, not fried, but very tasty! I haven't had the chili, but I know tons of people who can't get enough of it!
  
  Whenever we take people to Door County, they always fall in love with Poohs :)
