  Sort of a karaoke dive bar, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.  Chris the bartender was very friendly and the crowd was mixed but very complimentary.  Most importantly the beer was cold and cheap.  The appetizers looked good although I didn't sample any.

  OK, so we purchased a certificate on line for this place and decide to give it a try.   First thing you notice when you walk inside is it's rustic and small.   I think there were more chairs at the bar than tables in the dining area.  It's not the kind of place to take that special someone on that special occasion.   We have the certificate so we stayed to take a look at the menu.  Things began to look better once we saw the prices.  Not bad!  We decided to order lunch, how bad could it be, after all we do have the certificate.
  
  If words like homemade, fresh, decent portions, hand cut fries, and delicious are what you covet, then give this place a try.  Ice cold beer on tap, lunch for two, and a Caramel Apple Blossom Ala Mode for dessert  for under $20.00 with the certificate.
  
  We will be going back to sample some of that green chili and the Wisconsin Cheese curds with sliced apples.
  
  Staff is out of this world friendly.
  
  Could have easily given four stars but the place is a little rustic and very small.  Add some outdoor seating and this place becomes a five.

  Ok I was already kinda smashed when I got here but Im pretty sure it was awesome.
  
  Has a rustic-cabiny feel, I could sit here all day long it is so cozy.
  
  There are only 2 or 3 beers on tap, cant remember what they are.
  
  We played trivia and there werre A LOT of geriatrics there, they were aceing us at trivia bad. I guess they also frown upon cheating on your cell phone here. Weak.
  
  I ordered a quesadilla which Im told was good, I don't really remember devouring it though.
  
  Lastly we had some delicious chocolate cake shots here. Lady knew how to make em up right. I shall return.
  
  P.s. the bathrooms smelled delightful and lotion was provided (love that).

  When I turned 18, I told my parents I wanted to go to "Whispers" to celebrate. I can still remember their reactions...totally dumbfounded, the both of them."You mean that dive-looking place on Havana?" Yeah, that's the one. I had always wanted to go to a piano bar, and this one wasn't as far as the one downtown, so I  thought, hey why not.
  
  FUN FACT: Jake Jabs from American Furniture Warehouse (you know the tiger guy?) frequents Whispers and even sings there. He sang me Happy Birthday...which is something I will never forget and part of why I will always think fondly of this little place.
  
  Also for people who are equally interested in the experiences a place can offer as the food, this is a GREAT place for people watching. Cougar-city!! (At least when we were there). The people watching was probably what made this experience so memorable. That and did I mention Jake Jabs sang to me?
  
  I can't fairly review the food since it's been a little while, I don't think it was anything too memorable but it wasn't bad either!
  
  I will definitely have to revisit, for old time's sake.

  Cheesiness all the way around.
  
  Ain't it good?  Ain't it right?  That there are cheese curds here at Whispers tonight?  Karaoke's playing, the green chile is fine (is fine, is fine, is fine).  
  
  So my old karaoke buddy is here from out-of-town and we all meet up, old singin' friends together again at Whispers.  My first time here.  I ordered a beer (nothing fancy here, but at least they had a Fat Tire) and then asked the waitress what she recommended to eat.  Without a hitch, she said they have the best green chile.  We ordered a plate of nachos with the green to share.  They were decent.  What really stood out was the salsa.  Awesome kick to it made delicious with fresh tomatoes and plenty of cilantro, which I like.  
  
  Then, there was cheese.  Cheese curds.  They arrived as a melted pile of cheesey goodness spread out on half of the plate, perfectly browned on top, with sliced apples as an accompaniement.  "What's this?" I ask myself.  Pull up some hot, melty cheese, wrap it around a slice of apple, bite.  Close your eyes as you savor the light, nutty flavor of the cheese against the slight tartness of the apple.  Bite again.  Move the plate closer to you and hope that your table-mates are next up to sing.  Eat it all up before they get back from the stage.  This dish made me very happy.  
  
  Even though Whispers is on the other side of the world from where I live, I can now make excuses to drive over to Aurora to have a cold one and that little plate of cheese heaven.  Cheesiness rules.
