Holidays Pub and Grill
About: Holidays Pub and Grill opened December of 2007 on the corner of CB and American Drive just off hwy 441/10. Holidays has some features which make its sports bar atmosphere unique. You will find a two tiered building with a roof top patio. They have a full menu with the luxury of serving Stucs Pizza as they are located right next door.
Atmosphere: Holidays has a great atmosphere both inside and out. As you enter the main door, you are greeted with a luxurious color scheme and a large main bar area. To the right of the bar area is the main dining area equipted with more TV’s than a sports fan can watch! Whatever is hot in sports is playing for your enjoyment. To top off the entertainment is the stadium style seating that gives you the “Vegas” feel. The bar has plenty of seating for socializing or for ordering some delicious wings. If you are planning to dine, there is plenty of space to choose whether to eat in the bar or dining area. From any spot in this bar you have a great view of any of the current sports action. See pictures below that I borrowed from Holidays Web Site.
You are probably thinking this is awesome, well it gets better. Feel free to step up the the 2nd floor (Bears Den) to enjoy a view of the patio or just to hang out at the upstairs bar. In addition to the large bar area, all Chicago Cubs and Bears game are played on one of the many televisions. This is also the spot where live music is available for no cover most weekend nights. We have been to a few private parties in this area and it was great for accomodating various groups.
From the Bears Den you can stop outside to the rooftop patio, otherwise known as the Parrot Porch. This is my favorite area to hang out when the weather is nice. There is an old boat they converted into a small bar, plenty of seating and usually has some great music like Jimmy Buffet playing.
Food: Holidays menu offers the traditional bar food like burgers and fries but also available are salads, wraps, chili and fish dinners. If there is one thing I have to order every time I visit Holidays it is the wings. I am a huge fan of wings and in my opinion Holidays has some of the best. I have to be honest and tell you that I do not have experience with much of their menu because I usually order pizza. Holidays has a relationship with neighbors next door, which just happens to be Stucs Pizza. The full Stuc’s menu is available at Holidays! If you follow this blog you know that Stucs is one of my favorite pizza restaurants in the Fox Valley area. I have enjoyed a Holidays burger and it was very good. Holidays has daily beer specials and a wide selection of domestic and import beer and spirits. Last time I was at Holidays for happy hour, they have Schlitz on tap. I have not seen too many other restaurants in the area that offer this “vintage draft”.
Conclusion: My wife and I have visited Holidays many times for happy hour with friends, lunch with our kids and even for a private parties. It is definitely a must try if you just want to watch the game or if your looking for a place to eat and have a few drinks.

I am so glad I found out there is a local blog about restaurants in the Fox Valley, WI area (Neenah & Appleton).
I have so many places to learn about so this is a God-send! I recently went to Holiday’s and although I did not eat dinner there I had an enjoyable time with a fellow I met off of Twitter, while we discussed all kinds of cool web applications/sites, etc.
I was really happy to see that Holiday’s had free Wi-fi!
I am looking forward to more blogs on great restaurants in the area and if you want my suggestions on places I love, feel free to contact me.

I went to watch the game here once, and once was enough. I must say that the food was good, but the service lacked. My wife and I were sitting at the bar, it was not overly crowded (seats left at the bar) and we still sat around waiting for a beer and for our bill to be paid. When a kitchen worker came out to watch a bit of the game, he pointed us out to the bartender, which was too busy sucking down her miller light, to take the bill and our card that was sitting out in plain view. She looked right at us, and looked away. I finally had to flag her down and ask her to take out for our bill.
I guess I can be nice and say that it is a good place to watch the game, it was not busy, the food was good but the service sucked and the crowd was annoyingly pounding on the bar every play! But dont take my word for it, check it out yourself.
