Great bar bites. Active and fun bar. Nice beer selection. You'll run into intelligent, interesting folks here.

Great location and view of the lake. Good food. Limited seating in colder weather. Slow service. Table service upstairs seems like it is an after thought. Not really worth the effort to get to in winter.
Located at lake level in the historic Langdon Building, The Boathouse serves authentic Wisconsin favorites like a Chicken BLT on Stella’s Spicy Cheese Bread. Try our peel and eat shrimp or the one pound lobster roll, relax with a Boathouse Cooler and an appetizer, or enjoy an ice cream floatie with the family—all with beautiful Lake Mendota as your front yard.
