The wings I ordered were good, but the hamburger was mediocre. The beer was served in a small glass at 16 oz price. The service was good, but i can't recommend the place. It's just ok.

Great pub in the quaint town of New Glarus. The town is German and Swiss, and of course, home to New Glarus Brewing co.

Burgers undercooked ,homemade chips were 1/2 cooked and soggy -no service to outdoor seating in back -could not finish food. Disgusting.
But the 2 lady bartenders were friendly . The only reason I gave a 2 star

We stopped at the Ott Haus Pub after a days ride on the Sugar River State Trail, and it was the perfect choice. The location is super convenient with plenty of parking, and the Swiss-style entrance immediately sets a welcoming tone. The staff made us feel right at home, and we enjoyed the option of outdoor seating on such a nice day.

The food was excellent—our burgers and fries were cooked just right, and we started with onion rings that were crispy and delicious. To top it off, they serve local favorites from the New Glarus Brewery, and enjoying a cold Spotted Cow with our meal was the perfect way to end the day. A great stop we’d happily return to!

Ott Haus is a nice little Swiss style bar and grill. Lots of wood throughout serving local drinks, and good burgers and sausages. They have some seating inside and out and a nice comfy bar. Service was friendly and fairly attentive. Definitely worth a stop when in town.

After biking 23 miles on the scenic Sugar River Trail, we treated ourselves to a well-earned stop at The Ott Haus in New Glarus—and wow, what a reward! We ordered the WISCO Burger, which recently won the 2024 Best Burger in Green County, and it did not disappoint. Juicy and flavorful with crispy bacon, Spotted Cow–sautéed onions, cheddar and muenster cheese, all on a pretzel bun—perfection! We swapped in cheese curds on the side because… when in Cheese Country, right?

The drink highlight was discovering the Wisconsin Belgian Red Brew. My husband is a cherry fanatic, and this beer tasted like cherry pie in a bottle. It was so good, we stopped at the grocery store afterward to pick up a 4-pack!

The Ott Haus has a cozy pub vibe, friendly service, and delicious food and brews. We'll definitely be back after our next ride!

All things beer cheese are delicious. Also enjoyed the curds. We enjoyed it so much we came back a 2nd time that day for more.

While the beer selection was a bit limited it was good, including local options. Burgers were great, cooked well with impossible patty options and pretzel buns available. While we didn’t try the tots or chips the fries were good! Would visit again if we are in the area.

Classic wisco bar and thank God for still having places like these… where you can let your hair or beard down! Let the laid back and humble atmosphere soothe your senses. It’s simple bar food and great cocktails and beer menu. Perfect for pit stop and you might even see Santa 🎅🏼 at the bar! What more can you ask for. Friendly down to earth service. The old-fashioneds were strong and the curried sausage atop crisp fries was satisfying. The burgers at the table next to us looked amazing - might have to back to give them a bite. Enjoy!

it's bar food so you really can't expect anything spectacular, but I ordered the mini beef tacos, and I received basically empty shells, and it took over 45 minutes after I ordered. Everyone was friendly, but I would expect a little more pleasant food for the price it was.

This place has a lot of regulars, so my review probably won't be taken seriously, but here goes. If you want burgers, this place is okay.

First thing I noticed is they have the bartender doing everything. She clearly looked overwhelmed the whole time and one couple had to move from a table to the bar to get any kind of service.

Second, the currywurst. It should honestly be taken off the menu. It's an insult to currywurst. The sausages were fried to death and tasted like dry, overcooked bologna. Then they put a sprinkle of sauce on there. If you've ever had currywurst, you'll know they're usually drowning in the sauce. I thought it was a sad amount and asked for more. They said they were out.

Fine, I tried to eat it with some ketchup and mustard, but this was practically inedible. After getting through some of it, I couldn't eat it anymore. I asked the bartender if she could comp the meal since they never communicated they were out of sauce, and she asked if I would do 50%. I suppose I did eat roughly half, so I thought that was fair. The owner said extra sauce is a courtesy, so they won't do it. They offered me a drink chip for one free drink.

So you want me to come back for one drink after I ate that dish? Yikes. I just paid the full bill and left. It was too much of a headache to argue after sitting around for slow service for so long. Once I'm back in the area, I'll go anywhere else. Maybe don't offer German food on your menu if you have no clue what it is.

I came here after going to New Glarus Brewing. I got a New Glarus Tap Beer coin there after buying a beer there and it was good for one small beer at many places in New Glarus. I chose this place. It was a nice little place with friendly people. It was a little crowded so I didn’t get a chance to try their food. But it looked good.

When we stopped in here, the bartender greeted us and was extremely friendly and very awesome. The service was excellent, so I will give them that. However, the brat that was ordered would have been excellent if it wasn't so rock hard. The fish was pretty good, but the coleslaw was sour. The burger that was ordered was delicious! The only other complaint we have is that our glasses had smudges on them, they were dirty and almost like you could see the lipstick or dirty lip marks from a previous patron. Other than that, the atmosphere was great and I think we would definitely give this place another shot in the future.

Man.....maybe try Culvers. Slam a few beers in the drivethru lane if you want a beer with your burger.

Burger was way past overcooked despite asking for medium rare. Based on ticket times they must raise the cows behind the bar, slaughter them, dry age the beef, order individual pickles voa air freight from europe, and then deliver the food on the back of a poorly trained sloth.

We stopped here after going to the New Glarus Brewing spot not too far away. The food was good (esp the Cowboy Burger), and there were several nice patrons there, as well. Some patrons were pretty drunk, though, and harassed us repeatedly for wearing masks. We just wanted to eat. Not really the fault of the staff, but when nicer patrons have to shout, “Be nice to the tourists!” as we’re being harassed, maybe the bar staff can step in to calm things down.

Had some business up the road in Monticello today and needed a bite to eat. This little place is amazing. Our server cooked our burgers. I had the mushroom swiss burger with tater tots and beer cheese sauce. My fiancee had a cheese burger with tater tots with shredded cheese. Our server, the food, the atmosphere, the cleanliness all on point. We originally were going to eat somewhere else. When they were rude and inattentive, we left and found Ott Haus. Glad we did.
