HARDY Visits Twin Lakes Bar Before Country Thunder Show

While in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin for County Thunder last weekend, HARDY made a stop at a local pub and grill and had rave reviews for one specific dish.

Country Thunder 2025 in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin

It's hard to believe that another Country Thunder Wisconsin is over, but what a weekend it was! All of the performers put on awesome shows, but the headliners, Cole Swindell, HARDY, Jelly Roll, and Dierks Bentley really made the weekend unforgettable!

As we begin to countdown the days until Country Thunder Wisconsin 2026, (p.s. camping and 4-day passes are already on sale here), let's reminisce with something cool that happened in Twin Lakes Friday night that we didn't see on the festival grounds.

HARDY's Visit to The Blue Goose in Twin Lakes

As we were talking about Country Thunder on the air this morning, one of our loyal listeners named Joyce sent us a message about how HARDY came into her daughter's bar, The Blue Goose, before his show on Friday night.

This morning we got a chance to chat with Amanda, the owner of The Blue Goose, and we asked her if she knew ahead of time that Hardy would be stopping by her bar. Amanda said a security guard called to warn her that a "Country Thunder performer" would be arriving about 10 minutes before HARDY walked through the doors. (I would have been FREAKING out!)

Safe to say, Hardy enjoyed his time at The Blue Goose, and he really enjoyed the bar's 'Trashy Tacos':

Celebrity Visits At The Blue Goose

HARDY isn't the only celebrity that has stopped in to check out what The Blue Goose in Twin Lakes is all about. Folks from Wisco Dive Bars recently made a stop there, and it definitely looks like a place I need to hang out at very soon!
