Awesome venue downtown Appleton! They have indoor and outdoor seating - plenty of it - good music - decent prices on beer - a great happy hour from 3-6pm on specific days - and nice service!

I guess D2 Appleton doesn’t want people in wheelchairs in their bar!!?? An employee told me on the phone they didn’t have any low tables to accommodate people in a wheelchair for a meal. He said they have all tall tables. I simply said, “That isn’t very nice!” His reply was unfortunately he didn’t make the rules!!?? Then he stumbled around a bit and said they could bring a low table in from outside. He said ya, if I went in there they would bring in a table from outside and it wouldn’t be a problem. Why didn’t he say that in the first place!!!??? No thanks!!! Not that he cares. A very nice lady host used to work there and she was always graciously accommodating and had a table ready for us.

I went to a convention up in Appleton, and for dinner, I wanted a reasonably priced dinner. I was walking, and I saw the Perch sandwich special for $10. I continued to walk to see if any other place had anything listed, but I saw nothing else. I turned around and walked in to order the best fish sandwich ever. I was very pleased at the price and the amount of food that I got.

I cant say I was super impressed with the service. We sat down and the guy came over and asked us what we wanted to drink I said I will start with water because I was not sure . He brought us our drinks (water for me) beer for my husband. He never came back to serve us. It was not super busy I think a total of 7 people including us. There was a shift change and the guy went right on his phone and never came over. They had a guy singing and that cleared out the bar. Even with an almost empty bar the new bartender never came over we had to politely wave him over for the check so we could leave. Somehow we felt like we were bothering him by being there. This is a picture of the bar with no bartender and you can kinda see him on his phone, left side of this picture if you zoom in.

Its s big place with a dance floor upstairs. The bartender seemed like he hated life but was quick and efficient. Just had drinks so I have nothing to report on their food. Lots of tables, lots of bar seats. Bathrooms were reasonably clean.

Great place to eat before a show at the PAC. Directly across the street from the PAC. Good food. Recommend the D2 Melt with garlic aioli on the side, crispy onion rings.

Wanted to love for an eclectic mix of music upstairs but turns out it wasn’t kitschy or eclectic, it’s just all the DJ has had to work with since the mid-2000s and had zero flexibility in his *solid* lineup. Only a punk@ss, insecure, inexperienced DJ can’t mix new songs into his lineup or take requests. Give me a break. Total deadzone. Get a new DJ. #wisconsinSOwhite

This bar isnt a place where I would usually go but I will say the customer service from the bartenders and staff definitely makes it a fun experience for all aged adults. Every bartender was slammed and they were still providing amazing service with a smile. Super social atmosphere and a ton of good vibes. Jordan and the Manager were amazing. Thanks for providing a such welcoming/fun experience for me and my friends. Will definitely be back when Im in town.

The drinks there were better downstairs than upstairs..larger and better quality. I noticed after a very short time they started overcharging for drinks thinking people were too drunk to notice....not cool.... i also had wings there that were really good and ok price. But again with the taking of cash they saw on the counter and making mistakes with the amounts. . Clean overall girls were nice but all the guys were kinda jerks. Wont go there again.

After years of waiting to get into this bar, I’ve finally been able to experience what all the hype was about. They’ve got a nice enough indoor bar, but the outdoor is the perfect social spot, with gas fires on the tables and sofas to chill back on. The bartenders are great people, and they’ve got a plethora of tvs to watch all your favorite sports shows too. It’s a great bar and definitely worth checking out.

Had high hopes for this place. Always drive past and thought it looked like a neat place to hang out. So the wife and I went there to meet another couple and went to sit outside. The girl that was behind the bar outside was very unkind (1-25-23 @ about 7:30pm, don’t know her name). Went up to the bar and she didn’t even say hello or anything and just asked what we wanted. No smile. She seemed pretty miserable being there. We felt as though we were bothering her by ordering a drink. However, the other guys behind the bar seemed kind. Walking out it smelt like weed inside which was another huge turn off. I don’t foresee us going back. It’s too bad. Awesome hang out area outside but service is everything. Drink selection was just ok. I expected more of a selection when it came to specialty drinks considering the outdoor area. So that was a little bit of a disappointment as well.

Totally forgot to take a picture of our food just because we ate it so fast, but everything was very good and the bartender was fantastic. We went in around 3 and both my partner and I got elk burgers, I got truffle fries and he got maple bacon fries and it was all so good. I asked the bartender for a random fruity drink and she brought me something very tasty that matched my hair color [green] and that absolutely delighted me. I dont go to bars often but I will definitely come back here

The bartender was more interested in talking to her friends and taking shots with her friends than tending to anyone else. She made eye contact but didn’t even come over. She just kept talking. Never had an issue until tonight. She didn’t care about anyone else in the bar besides her locals and friends. I held money in the air and she locked eyes with us but never came over. We were there for over 2 hours and only got 2 drinks because she didn’t pay any attention to anyone else besides her friends. There was A big group of people who left because she wouldn’t serve anyone unless she was taking shots with her locals/ friends. Never had an issue until tonight. It was not nice and very selfish if the bartender cares more about her friends than anyone else in the bar. Bad service tonight even though she noticed us, didn’t even come back and check on us. This was the worst service we’ve ever had there. I do not recommend. I know you have friends and locals but to the point where you don’t serve anyone else or even come around to check on anyone and to the point where people left because they couldn’t get any service is just plain ridiculous. We had to go to the outside bar just to get a drink.

Review №27

My boyfriend and I visited D2 after attending the Packers vs Cowboys game. This was our first time visiting Wisconsin. My boyfriend was excited for the win and wanted to go to D2 to grab some food. We went to the bar and my boyfriend was excited to eat and clapped his hands in excitement and the bartender snapped at him. The bartender was extremely rude and told my boyfriend that he doesnt clap at him. He indeed wasnt even clapping at him at all. Now everyone in the bar is looking at us because the bartender made a whole scene, not to mention we were the only African Americans in the bar. My boyfriend then asks the bartender if he could order some food and, his response was maybe I will serve will or maybe I wont. The way we were treated is totally unacceptable. No one should have to deal with that type of treatment. There were several other people who saw the whole incident and actually apologized for the way this bartender treated us. We ended up leaving and going to another bar.

I was there for the first time on Tuesday. We were very impressed with our service and food. It was taco night, and they were awesome. Katie was such an awesome bartender and server. She made us feel very welcome. We had gone to another establishment down the road and left because they were not welcoming at all, and I’m so glad we came to D2 instead.!!We sat outside. I am from Madison and was visiting my sisters. Will definitely be back sometime down the road. Again, Katie was wonderful. Thank you!! 😇

Review №29

My daughter was visiting the area this past weekend with friends and attended this establishment. She did not feel safe or welcomed here as an African American woman. She mentioned that there was a blue lives matter flag present, which historically police generated from slave catching, this is a known fact. In addition, there was a male bartender that ignore her and her other friends (all whom are people of color) when they were trying to close out their tab. He did not acknowledge them and just waved them off. To add to the matter, multiple people made racial slurs and gestures at her. When she informed the staff they ignored her concern and safety. Overall, we would not recommend anyone to attend this establishment. Her and her friends did not feel safe and honestly I dont think any of them or our family will be visiting the city soon. I am extremely disappointed, but not surprised.

D2 Sports Pub is not just an ordinary pub in Appleton Wisconsin. They are one of a kind and unique in their own way. The staff treats each customer that walks through their doors like family. The current operating manager, Brent, goes out above and beyond to make sure that you have an experience that makes you want to come back every time you are in town. D2 has an atmosphere for everyone. From house music to country music, you will find something you like. I 10/10 recommend stopping in here to have a good mixer after work or a fun night out with your pals. Dont forget they also have a great food menu with many options as well. Their kitchen staff cooks to impress and they always do. Overall, you cant go wrong stopping at D2!

I dont go to this bar often (maybe 6 times in the last 3 years) but EVERY single time Ive went I get a rude/arrogant bartender. I was there this past weekend and I get it, Halloween is extremely hectic, but the bartender insisted they didnt have my credit card which I knew they did. He went back three times to look and seemed extremely annoyed at my basic request to close out my tab. He eventually found my card and without eye contact just threw it on the bar and walked away. No receipt, nothing. Dont think Ill go here anymore.

Nice clean place with easy to see sports on large tvs. We each ordered sandwiches that were generous sized. No daily special but great menu choices. Sandwiches came with a choice side or soup. Soup was delicious. Waitress offered several popular sandwich choices when asked. Fun personnel. Metered parking on the street out front. Would definitely come back if in town again.

I usually avoid bars on college avenue but I gave it a try. The environment, atmosphere and ambiance were top notch. Cant say anything bad about the bartenders and whatnot. Just one of those times I felt supremely out of place. 46 years old surrounded by an ocean of about 50 or so 21year olds feels a tad bit weird. So being honest, my one star is only because I felt soooooo out of place. Strictly clientele only. Anyone over 40 would probably feel the same. Pretty nice bar though with a sweet outdoor area. Its just a college avenue thing. BUT, I am going to up this from one to three stars.

Review №43

In my opinion I think their grade is in their name. I would give it a D so that equates to two stars. The service was so so. The food wasnt that great. Im not sure if the Pepsi I had was real Pepsi, it tasted like an off-brand . The bathrooms in the outdoor area are not great my friend that was with me said the womens bathroom was missing a door on one of the stalls and there is no toilet paper in the other stall. It just seemed kind of dingy out on the patio. I hate to give a place this lower-ranking but I think they need to make some improvements.

This Sports Bar knocks it out of the park! We had excellent food, my husband had the Chicken Alfredo and it was a large serving and very tasty. I had the Philly and it was awesome, loved that they didnt overcook the peppers and that they still had a slight crunch in them. Drinks were good and the bartenders were very friendly and fun to chat with. What more could you ask for. Be sure to say hi to Brent, he will be sure that you are satisfied so give it a try. We will be back for sure.

Bar tenders make the most watered down drinks , they really should be measuring the shots if they are unable to eye ball it properly.

Review №59

They lost my friend and Is debit cards. We were both there for 2-3 hours and had a tab open. We went to leave D2 for the night and they said we didnt have a tab open and that we never gave them our cards! If we never gave them our cards, who was paying for our drinks that night?! The bartender was extremely rude to us during this whole encounter. They still couldnt find our cards after closing and we were told they didnt have authorization to view the security cameras. We both canceled our debits cards the following day and low and behold we both had charges from D2. So it proves that they did have our cards that night because they charged us! Either one of the bartenders stole our cards, or they closed our tab and gave our cards to the wrong people. Just to top it all off someone used my card at a bar a few doors down and charges almost $150 on it. By far this was the worst experience at a bar I have ever had. I would give 0 stars if I could.

Boyfriend bought himself a Budweiser and myself a cranberry vodka. Went to close the tab and it was $18.50 and the bartender claimed this was for a domestic beer and THREE rail drinks? I had only one drink the whole time we were there, and when asking the them, they just offered us a shot.... our bill should have been no more than $8.50. Not going here anymore because this type of stuff seems to happen a lot here...

Review №71

Im giving 4 stars for service and overall atmosphere. The gentleman that served us seemed to be the owner or manager...he was outstanding! Everyone was great actually!The reason for only 4 stars versus 5 is my meal. I ordered a half ceasar with blackened ahi tuna. The meal was served and I was immediately a little apprehensive due to the appearance of the tuna steak. It didnt look traditionally blackened. Upon cutting into the steak I discovered that the ahi was cooked completely, with no pink whatsoever. Maybe I should have clarified that I prefer it quite rare, however I have never had to do so when ordering AHI TUNA. Im not sure if that is how they prepare it normally (being that Im from out of town), but perhaps bringing it to the customers attention when they order it in the future could eliminate that problem.Everyone was really pleased with our whole experience (delicious bloody mary btw!!)I just wish my meal was as awesome as everything else.

Review №72

The dance floor was great though there was many spilled drinks, glad I had nonslip boots on. The bartenders were friendly and fun, but didnt seem to notice me at the end of the bar, although it was busy. Bathrooms were very clean. Music was good, but abit too loud to the point where you cant communicate, also needs more alternative rock on the playlist everyone loved the one song he played that was alternative tonight.What I dont like are the people who stand around looking all boring and lame taking up space especially just sitting at the bar drinking and being in the way. Perhaps no barstools at the bar on busy nights so its only for ordering drinks and then you move on? I feel like this is supposed to be a party club bar. If you want to stand around looking grumpy and hating life go to one of the many lame old people bars on the ave. A singles night would also be a great idea. Maybe even color coded wristbands saying hey im available or nope taken. It would definitely help to find people to dance with. I saw too many old people. Im pretty sure the average age was like 35-40. I think you need to cater to the younger crowd more as you have frankly the most fun bar to dance at on the ave at the moment.I love coming here keep up the good work!

This is probably the go to spot to get sloshed to the point of no return from. Being hammered at D2 is like being trashed in a European night club. Perfect outdoor seating, fantastic lit downstairs that is always turnt, and the upstairs is a raging night club.And thats not even mentioning the dope ability to watch your drunk homies try to walk the street from the outside patio with those perfect glass windows.

Not the cheapest bar in downtown Appleton, but it makes up for it with live djs on the weekends and ample space for socializing and dancing (upstairs and downstairs).

It was a good time there they had good music there... but there bartenders need to work on a few things like check there end bars to see if anyone needed drinks or if one bartender is working on the there customer and another walk up to the same one person and holds a conversation with them then they will not serve me cuz all they want to do is talk...

The outdoor space is nice in good weather. Music is good if you like that overplayed commercial party stuff. Lots of young drunk fake people if youre into that sort of thing.

Attempted to have lunch only Saturday of Mile of Music. Turned away because my daughter is 17. Fair enough, found a new place to eat, only to walk by an hour later to see a family with children sitting where we wanted to have lunch. I will not go back again.

The bartenders steal your money. I went up to the bar, had a ten by me, ordered a drink, the bartender never came back with a drink, nor my money. This isn’t an isolated incident. This has now happened more than once. They’ll just blame you for being drunk.

This bar is 2 levels, dance floor and bar on both upstairs and downstairs. Seating and tables downstairs, pool table, good staff. What more can I say, its a bar on the Ave. One of the better ones.

They call it a sports bar, but during NCAA March Madness they turned all TVs to a terrible video that the DJ was playing instead of any of many games on. When the bartender was asked if a game could be put back on, he blamed the DJ. The DJ blamed the bartender. Our group (making up about a quarter of the bar on a Friday) went elsewhere.

I was just at this bar with my friends and the bar tender took our money and then told us he needed to go to the back and get more and when he came back and poured the shots said we needed to pay him again! We said we just paid you and he said no you didnt pay me and kept the change from the $100 bill! Never go back! Hope the owner sees this!!

Had a burger and FF. For almost $9.00 it was terrible. FF were cooked to the point of being unedible, lettuce was wilted, pickle was small and cut so half of it was missing. Waitress didnt seem to care- and said there is nothing I can do. Avoid this place.
