Review by Molly Schinner

The Vanguard is a cozy gem on S Kinnickinnic Ave, exuding a trendy vibe perfect for groups and tourists alike. 🍻 I sampled the Chicago style brat, and wow - it was delicious, with flavors that just dance on your palate!

The environment can get a bit loud due to communal seating, but the lively atmosphere makes it worth it. The beer selection is top-notch, and Velly provided excellent service, making our experience truly enjoyable.

Just note, the poutine was lukewarm, which was a letdown. Despite a few hiccups, I can't wait to return! 🎉
