Description
"The Packers can kiss my ass," "We close when we feel like closing" and "Nothin' but cash, no exceptions" are among the oh-so-perfect-for-the-setting sayings we overheard from the bartender-server in just one night at this 39-year-old, subterranean seafood spot. Grab a table in the tiny Christmas light–strewn room, and start out with the chowderific "Mulligan stew" and an order of crispy calamari. For more fried goodness, have the "Thirty-Two Pointer" for an entrée—a crunchy pile of smelts, perch, frog legs, clam strips and fat shrimp. And if you're looking to crack some crab, splurge on the massive, meaty king legs—they're so succulent and sweet they'll double as dessert (the only true desserts on offer are gratis lollipops).
