1st Place: The Joynt
2nd Place: The Red Parrot
3rd Place: Mogie’s

The Joynt was made for talking. Think about it. What’s missing? A dance floor. That’s right. Because the Joynt is all talk, all the time. Many of the Chippewa Valley’s brightest thinkers and most talented artists have called this place home. Even when it gets loud, the collective IQ begs for conversation. The Red Parrot, in second place, has a popular happy hour. The lounge draws people in during the week for some lively chatter.  he Red Parrot provides enough lighting that you can read the lips of the person next to you if it gets loud on the weekend. Mogie’s, in third, has some nice deep booths and a solid menu going for it. Nothing says confab like five of your besties in a booth with an order of Spuds O’ Plenty and a few cold ones. – Betty Rae Matthews
