- Wisconsin's Oldest Supper Club -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 been 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.Over 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.

We had an outstanding first experience at the Red Circle Inn last night for my wife's birthday. I would classify this restaurant as a historic fine-dining supper club. The staff were wonderful and the restaurant was beautifully decorated and clean. They even hand-wrote a card for my wife's birthday and the servers all signed it and had it all displayed on the table before we even arrived. We had the walleye, perch, and beef stroganoff with cheese curds and French onion soup appetizers. There was even a relish tray with sourdough crackers, cheese spread, olives, and peppers. It was all very delicious. In summary, I would highly recommend this restaurant if you want an elevated dining experience with a supper club feel.
