First time here and it did not disappoint. The burger was fresh and hand-pattied on a soft bun. It tasted like my Grandmother used to make, and she made great burgers!The bartenders were friendly, attentive and fast! Great spot to give a try if you are around and looking for a neighborhood type bar.

Amazing staff, quick and cordial service. Much more down to earth than some other bars in the Green Bay Area. Burgers are 100% the best from a bar that I’ve ever had. Cheese curds and curly fries are definitely a must-have when eating here. Everything is reasonably priced. 10/10 would recommend

If you are looking for someplace casual, with cold beer and GREAT food, this is the place to be. While it's plain to look at on the outside, don't pass on by for some place "flashier". The French Onion soup was the best I've had in a long time. The onions were perfectly cut and just the right texture, the croutons and melted cheese on top, perfection! The burger was fresh, and cooked perfectly. My spouse had the homemade Cheddar/Broccoli soup, which was also delicious! The beer was cold and hit the spot on such a warm day. Cynthia and Ashleigh(spelling??) were both welcoming and made us feel right at home. We may not be from the Green Bay area, but we will make an effort to come back again and again. Thank you!

This is my Jack Hammer burger, mushroom and Muenster with bacon and a grilled onion slice. It was excellent, as was my friend's burger-brat patty combo. Our first visit. We'll be back.The Hammer Inn is a friendly old-school blue-collar neighborhood tavern near factories and a paper mill. A bunch of regulars sitting at the bar. Tap beer served in 8-ounce glasses, another sign of a good place.

Cool little bar on a side street. My burger was perfectly cooked and tasty. The wife had wings and they were great. The service was on point.
