Don't let the exterior fool you. It's just as eclectic inside. Typical local bar in WI. Adorned with tools, saws, horns, skins and just about anything you can bolt to the wall. A couple TV's on the wall too to watch a game. Ordered a drink and some curds(who doesn't order curds in a WI bar?). Curds were hot and fresh. Drink was well poured. From what I hear they have the best burgers in town. My next trip up I'll definitely stop in and have a burger, with a side of curds, of course. Excellent selection of beer and liquors, Super friendly staff and welcoming locals. If you are in Bailey's Harbor you must stop into the Blue Ox. Cheers!

My time at the Blue Ox was one of the most memorable times of my life. Urbanites and F.I.B.s ("friendly Illinois bretheren,") suspend your expectations. This is a true small town Wisconsin bar. There are horns, pelts, farm equipment, arcade games, and other kitchy things all over. It's their world, welcome to it, and enjoy yourself while you're there! The beer selection is very good . . . Capitol, Lakefront, O'sso, and New Glarus. The crowd is a good mix of open-minded tourists and locals. My husband and I stopped in there for a quick bite and a drink before heading to the Baileys Harbor 4th of July fireworks. He had a burger, which he loved. I had a fish sandwich. A little dry, but served the purpose. Of course, we had fried cheddar cheese curds, a must in any Wisconsin bar. YUM! The owners, Jason and Kelso, are super nice. I resisted the urge to ask him if that's his real name or a nickname from "That 70s Show," he probably hears that all the time. After ominous storm clouds rolled in, we found ourselves back here. We watched the fireworks through a thunderstorm on the porch of the Blue Ox, beers in hand. The crowd was singing the Anthem, and a few of us started up "America, F@$ Yeah!!!" What a night! Should we return to Door County, we would probably stay in Baileys Harbor, stumbling distance from the Blue Ox. Thank you, Jason and Kelso!

My experience was made by the bartender, who doubled up as the cook, and was fully honest and thorough about the dinner options in Ellison Bay on a busy Memorial Weekend. Kelso the bartender absolutely ROCKS THE CASBAH. You can even have your beer growlers filled with New Glarus! And we did!! He cooked the burger medium-rare -- which is hard to find nowadays -- and it was cooked to perfection. The cheese curds were delicious. Strongly recommend for those wishing for a casual dining experience with limited menu.

An eclectic collection of antiques adorn the Blue Ox - a dive bar in a 100+ year old former butcher shop. Food is typical for bar fare - the burger was very good. Simple, but tasty! Service was ok - bartenders were nice and even though it was not busy, they just kept to themselves and didn't mingle with any of the patrons. Beer was ok. Nothing special here. They could take the opportunity to serve it in a frosty glass....even a chilled one. SOMETHING to add flair and differentiate them from every other standard bar in the area! The beer selection in itself is pretty small. The music...ugh. Again, here is another opportunity to match the decor to a "sound" that would elevate the ambiance to the next level. This place is so cool and unique inside, and one would expect to hear a range of Bluegrass to 70's rock, or maybe some older Country music? Not Adam Levine!!! By all means, stop in. But this place could be so much better with a few tweaks!

We were SO disappointed. Not cheap and the burgers are mediocre at best, sort of big but..... So sad to waste good tummy space.

The Blue Ox is a divey institution in Bailey's Harbor. Cheap beers, cheap food (limited menu, it's a bar after all), pinball, video poker, a pool table, video games, and televisions. Most come to get oxidized and find themselves playing the ring toss games (several variants exist, depending on how long you've been visiting Door Co you may do it off your head, from the barber's chair, sitting on one of the stools adorned with saddles, etc). It's small and townie, although given the nature of Bailey's Harbor, it can get touristy. The bartenders are super friendly and will put soccer on one of the tvs if you ask really nicely even though baseball and golf are also on.

For a Door County bar this place was where it's at. Stopped her while on the Door County Trolley Ghost Bar Crawl Tour, so we learned a bit about the gruesome family history behind this place. Apparently it used to be a butcher shop, let's just say someone got a bit carried away with a knife, rest is history. Pretty gruesome. Well onto the highlights, they have a table with an axe chained to it, seemed pretty dangerous for a bar, but ok! They have Rumchata, YES. The bartender Kelso is a total babe. If you're nice enough they might give you a free bumper sticker- "I Got Oxidized At..." BLUE OX. Isn't that the TRUTH?!

Very expensive drinks! We paid $9 for a captain and coke. Not very friendly either. Poured our drinks then went back over to talking with his friends.

Very Wisconsin-eclectic decor. Good burger. Solid beer selection, especially compared to many northwoods taverns.

I am pretty sure the "homemade" "chili" is canned ravioli ran through a blender.

A friend recommended this place for "hole in the wall fun" and that is what it was. The staff was friendly and made you feel welcome like you were at your local tavern back home. The decor is very interesting and keeps the eyes busy. We had a bloody mary which came with a spicy pickle made by a local person. Yum. I will make a point to stop back if I travel the area again.
