A Dinner Tradition at Wisconsin Supper Clubs
Between the towns of West Bend, Cedarburg, and Port Washington, you have plenty of fantastic date-night restaurants at your fingertips when staying at our romantic Wisconsin Bed and Breakfast. For something truly memorable, though, add a bit of tradition to your dinner experience and visit one of our delightful area Supper Clubs. What we now fondly refer to as Wisconsin Supper Clubs actually stated in Prohibition-era speakeasies in New York City. At the time, these were some of the only places to find illegally sold alcohol. These businesses became popular, and by the late 1930s, Supper Clubs had spread everywhere.
Unlike the speakeasies of New York City, Wisconsin supper clubs started as taverns, resorts, and dance halls. They were best known for their Friday night fish fries and locally crafted beer—a tradition that still holds strong today! As the clubs grew in popularity, they offered a broader menu, including prime rib, roasted chicken, and ribs, plus the standby relish trays, cheese, and crackers at the bar. Wisconsin Supper Clubs also earned a solid reputation for their signature hand-muddled brandy old-fashioned cocktail.Â
Luckily for our guests, there are five superb Wisconsin Supper Clubs near our Bed and Breakfast. They really are a quintessential Wisconsin experience, and we hope you try at least one of these fantastic local restaurants!
- The Fox and Hounds in Hubertus, WI, is one of our favorite Wisconsin Supper Clubs. It’s a great place to go after hiking Holy Hill in Wisconsin and is only 30 minutes from our Wisconsin Bed and Breakfast.
- Johnny Manhatten’s in Richfield is also located near Holy Hill. The menu here is Italian-focused, and their bar is a Wisconsin Supper Club classic.Â
- The Wisco is one of a few traditional, old-fashioned Wisconsin Supper Clubs. It’s located in Le Roy. It’s only open Thursday through Saturday, so reservations are highly recommended. It’s near Horicon Marsh.
- Wallace Lake Supper Club is one of the two Wisconsin Supper Clubs located in West Bend. It’s been around since the 1940s and offers a delightful cocktail menu and delicious food.
- Timmers Resort, also located in West Bend, is another excellent place to grab a bite while staying at our Wisconsin Bed and Breakfast. It’s located on Big Cedar Lake with a view as fantastic as the food is delicious.
