The Reptile Palace

The Reptile Palace in Oshkosh is THE place to see bands in Oshkosh. Is it a palace? No, it's pretty small, and very casual. But it's a shrine to rock and all of its variations, as they host bands for no cover (check the club listing just to be sure), so you can check out some great talent with no buyer beware remorse!

What's great about Reptile Palace? Great selection of beers on tap and even more in the bottle, and the price is right! We enjoyed a few Lagunitases, New Glaruses, and others the night we were there.

There's a pool table, a pinball machine, a great jukebox, and some funky Day of the Dead and Pinup decor, along with helpful bartenders, and good audio. The regulars are friendly, so feel free to pop in even if this place isn't your Cheers. By the end of the night they'll know your name and be wishing you many happy returns. To see some bands!

I have to say that this is my favorite place.

Not a dive bar! Excellent music and good beer! You always meet someone cool there.
