Now Open Mondays!

Happy Very Rainy Wednesday...

Happy To Say...two new wines arrived today, Martin Codax Albarino (a fantastic crisp white wine, the new pinot, I swear), and Parallele 45 Rose (fruity refreshment, and no, I will not be adding a white zin!).

Also, you will hardly be surprised to hear, sandwiches are already sending me into a horrifying circus...so I think I'm switching it up. C.R.E.P.E.S. I figure one sweet and one savory, rotated weekly. So, fresh crepes filled with, for example: 
Week 1: nutella/banana/cream and salmon/cream cheese/dill/chives. 
Week 2: pear/cinnamon/white wine and feta/spinach/tomato/basil
Etc....
Play along with me...I'm still working on food options for this place ;) Ivan from Carvelli's came up with the idea, and I think it's one that really fits the personality (ok, I mean spatial/equipment/distribution limitations) of pause better than a to-go sandwich.

That's about it for now. If you haven't had oysters at Tug's...get down there! The new bar is spectacular, with a great new atmosphere (and you REALLY should see the lobster tank!).

Hope the next few days are a bit sunnier...

Much love,
B

Much thanks to Drew and Kurt for that phenomenal evening...

by happyhoursgroup 19. May 2009 14:21

I'd like to throw out a HUGE thank you to Drew Worden from The Bedspreads, along with his friend Kurt.  If you missed the show, you missed something big.  These guys are from Appleton and had never jammed together like that in front of a crowd before.  You would have never known.  

They threw improv jamming at us right away with their electrics, spacing the show out with some Zeppelin and Floyd, too.  Kurt's outstanding throaty voice, which I was surprised to hear from such a young guy, was spectacular.  The two fed off of each other perfectly.   It was as loud as pause has ever been and almost as packed, as there was a good crowd huddled outside on the sidewalk for most of the show.  The energy was amazing, and it was one of those nights that had me smiling behind the bar for hours.  Thanks to them, and thanks to all who came out and enjoyed the evening!

The Bedspreads have a show at the Badger Theater in Reedsburg on Friday, May 29th.  Doors open at 5:30pm. The show is at 6!

In other news....

Much to my surprise...juices are flying.  I'm really impressed to see it!

In order to avoid a huge amount of food waste, I might have sandwiches available only on Thursday, Friday and Saturday for the first couple weeks to gauge interest.  This Thursday should be go-time!

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or would like to see anything on the shelves or in the shop!

Much love,

Welcome to Spring!

by happyhoursgroup 22. April 2009 13:15

Seven and a half months in, and I am finally adding my first blog entry!  Additions are coming daily at this point.  The highlights and big news: 

 

  • Kelly Bleich will be playing live music here this Saturday, April 25th from 7pm-9pm. The second show on the new stage (which isn't so new anymore!).
  • Lake Louie Brews are available at pause!  I've started with the Tommy Porter (finally jazzing up my dark beer selection) and the Coon Rock Cream Ale. 
  • Fruit is now for sale for a healthy alternative; bakery should be available in about two weeks.
  • Grab-n-Go sandwiches are coming in four to five weeks! 
  • The new spring wine menu is arriving! Check out the red wine menu; it's updated!
  • Smoothies are here, too (on and on, I go...).  Peach, banana, strawberry and mango. Mixed however you'd like.

 

Lots and lots happening, and I'm really ready for the summer season.  As always, thank you for all of your support.  The local support I have had through the tough winter months has been mind-blowing, I thank each of you, and I can feel the energy picking up...

Until next time, peace...
