A Watertown institution, Mullen’s Dairy Bar has been serving up handcrafted goodness since opening in 1932.
The nostalgic appeal doesn’t end with the antiquated building, though. Teeming with vintage vibes, such as checkered floors, countertop seating, and vinyl booths, a visit is a real blast from the past.
Deemed some of the best in the Midwest, Mullen’s ice cream can be found in retail locations across the state. Of course, there’s no place like Mullen’s to enjoy the ice cream since it’s served a variety of ways.
Or sweeten things up a bit by indulging on an ice cream cookie sandwich, one of Mullen’s specialty sundaes, or a signature treat, like the Avalanche, which is ice cream topped with Reese's, Heath, Snickers, Oreos, Butterfinger, and M&M's.
Mullen’s Dairy Bar is open Sunday – Thursday from 11 a.m. – 8 p.m. and Friday – Saturday from 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. For more information, call (920) 390-4606. You can also visit the Mullen’s Dairy Bar website or Facebook page.
