(539)

Wisconsin’s oldest restaurant serving fresh takes on classics: Brandy Old Fashioneds, crafted dishes, and Lake Country nostalgia. A lot’s happened since we opened our doors in 1848, and I guess you could say we’ve seen it all. From dirt road to plank road to railroad, Red Circle Inn has been serving up good food with good service for generations of people in Lake Country. Over the years, we’ve bee

n a stomping ground for traders, trappers, settlers, working class, high class and everyone in between. There’s so much history in these walls, you can almost taste it. It was former owner Captain Fred C. Pabst who gave Red Circle Inn its name and iconic red circle logo, a nod to his Pabst Brewing Company. He made the restaurant the place to see and be seen around the lakes, not just for a beer, but for high-quality food and warm hospitality.

170 years later, the legacy lives on. As you enjoy your meal and the nostalgia of Red Circle Inn, you’ll learn why guests have been returning, generation after generation. Some might call Red Circle Inn a legend…that’s fine by us. Cheers,

Red Circle Inn

Dessert doesn't always come on a plate here. Sometimes, it comes in a glass.

Pink Squirrel. Grasshopper. Golden Cadillac. Three ice cream drinks, one very old bar, zero apologies for how long you'll want to stay.
