text: It took us 3 tries to eat at the Brink. The first was a Sunday and it was so empty that we figured, \"Do we gamble on an empty restaurant during peak brunch hours??\" We decided not to and went somewhere else. The second time there was a Rape Crisis function happening. We came in on the tail end of it so we weren't greeted by any Brink employees to say, \"Hey, this is about to end. We'll get you set right up.\" So we just went somewhere else. The third time was a Wednesday night. There were maybe 7 patrons in the place and a band setting up. We don't like to eat when we don't know what the music is going to be but it looked like it was going to take them awhile to set up and we didn't want to leave AGAIN so we sat at the bar for dinner. There was a small selection of decent draft beer. I had a Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA...always a good beer. My dinner partner had a peach cosmo. Tasty in that \"Schnappsy\" sort of way...nothing fresh about it. \n\nWe ordered the fondue because it was the only non-traditional bar food item on the menu. The flavor was right, good consistency but the selection of items to dip was not much to look at: broccoli, carrots (packaged mini-carrots), toasted bread and celery...yes, celery. We also ordered personal pizzas. I had the BBQ chicken and added Jalapeno...who doesn't. She had a Greek Pizza. Both were pretty good but again this place isn't trying to be real fancy. \n\nSo, make sure you check their calendar before you go...there seems to be a lot of functions at this place...and you might want to know what kind of music is going to be played before you show up. The blues rock band struck up just as we were finishing and they were playing to a table of what we could only assume were older friends and family. Someone's grandma was definitely getting her groove on. \n\nThe food will fill you up the way Wisconsinites expect to be filled...amply and without frill. No cheese curds on the menu...somehow.
