The 12 Best Small Town Wisconsin Supper Clubs You Probably Haven’t Visited
Wisconsin is known for a lot of great things, but it’s possible that none are better than our iconic supper clubs. These amazing spots are a relic of time gone by, but still have managed to move into the 21st century by serving absolutely delicious food combined with well-made cocktails and topped off with wonderful dessert drinks. Everyone has a favorite and there’s no way to list them all, but here, in no particular order, are 12 small town supper clubs in Wisconsin. You might not know about these, but they definitely deserve to be on your radar:
Everything you could want from a classic Wisconsin supper club - steaks, prime rib and Old Fashioneds. It's supper club perfection. Located at 118 Merchant Row, Milton, WI 53563. To learn more, visit their Facebook page here.
Clearview sits on Big St. Germain Lake and is owned by nearby Big Woods Resort. It's the perfect spot to relax after a long day of fishing, and the giant steaks will refuel you to go back out tomorrow. Located at 8599 Big St Germain Dr, St Germain, WI 54558. To learn more, visit their website here.
This spot is one of two owned by this family since the 1950s. The patio at one of the locations on the water is both heated and air-conditioned, meaning you can make the summer last just a bit longer as you stare out at the lake. To learn more about both locations, visit their website here.
Van Abel’s opened in 1848 as a saloon and rest stop for cattle-driving farmers en route to Green Bay. There are a few items on the menu reminiscent of those old days and Old Fashioneds come served in a mason jar, but everything at Van Abel's is updated and amazing.
Located at 8108 County Road D, Kaukauna, WI 54130. To learn more, visit their website here.
Roepke's grew out of a bar that was built to draw in patrons after a nearby church service let out.

There are less than 800 people in Stoddard, but they've managed to keep Rocky's in business since 1959. The star here is the house-made chunky blue cheese dressing that you can request on your steak or seafood to make it basically perfect. Located at 101 S Main St, Stoddard, WI 54658. To learn more, visit their website here.
Giant picture windows here let you look out at Half Moon Lake and maybe you'll get a glimpse or two of the resident goats, who reduce landfill waste and fertilize the flower beds. The century-old fireplace helps keep the place cozy in winter. Located at 1208 Half Moon Lake Dr, Mosinee, WI 54455. To learn more, visit their website here.
Aside from the supper club staples, these folks broast a mean chicken and serve a roasted duck you'll come back for again and again. Located at N2161 Town Club Rd, Kaukauna, WI 54130. To learn more, visit their website here.
Sky says they invented the salad bar back in the 1950s. They also have an Old Fashioned so good, their bartender bottles his mix and sells it all around the world. Located at 2202 Post Rd, Plover, WI 54467. To learn more, visit their website here.
