The Institute Saloon — Where Good Times Are Mandatory and Memory Is Optional

If you find yourself near The Institute Saloon and wonder whether you should step inside — do it. But don’t say I didn’t warn you. This place doesn’t invite you in so much as it dares you to keep up.

First off, the barkeep — absolutely glorious. Bold, commanding, the kind of woman who could pour your beer, win an arm-wrestling match, and settle an old family feud, all before last call. She ran the bar like a ship’s captain steering straight into the storm — and we were happy to be along for the ride.

We drank beer. We threw darts. We laughed harder than we should’ve at things we probably shouldn’t have. Somewhere in the blur, a handmade pizza materialized — a work of culinary patience that took a while, but oh was it worth it. It didn’t last long that night, but what was left made for a cold breakfast of champions (and a midnight snack of legends).

There’s also a pool table. Scratch that — the pool table. Enormous, like they built the whole damn bar around it and dared the town to sink the 8-ball. Did we play? Who knows. Did we win? Probably not. Did it matter? Absolutely not.

Go there if you dare. Great food, great beer, and a guaranteed great time. Just don’t expect to remember all of it — and that’s half the charm.

Classic rural Wisconsin tavern with a storied history– raided by the Feds in 1932 at the tail end of prohibition. Still serving drinks to this day. Great Friday night fish fry. Not too crowded on a cold winter night, but indoor seating is limited (and maybe 4 tables, plus the bar), so I don’t know what it would be like in the tourist season.

Great bar and atmosphere! Cold drinks, great food. Excellent service. Try the pizza, you will not be disappointed. I liked the BBQ chicken pizza, it was loaded with cheese. Pool table for entertainment, touch tunes jukebox and plenty of parking. Have a GOOD TIME at the Institute Saloon!

Great little dive bar, we stopped and got drinks and appetizers, drinks where Great and very good prices, the appetizer were very good as well, no off taste from the grease. Service was typical Wisconsin, very good and very friendly. Felt like home.

Came to get food with my husband. The daughter who wasn’t working or atleast I didnt think so cause she was shooting darts was the one to finally go get her dad to get us drinks. Once we had those and got our menus we sat for 20 minutes watching the owner take care of the same couple of people as well as himself. It was not that busy there. We paid for our drinks and left. If I could give them 0 stars I would. If your not a institute saloon regular dont count on being noticed!

This is a quaint little old bar. The crowd is respectful and the service is on par with what you would expect from a small family owned bar the owner will serve you drinks or cook you food some times he has bar tenders helping some times they dont but either way if you understand its a family owned bar and a local hang out for the folks around the area you will have a good time. There is a back room to sit and have a small restaurant experience, i have brought my 6 yr old and 2 yr old daughters to dine with me and my wife it was a really welcoming environment felt warm hearted and safe every one even the customers were super friendly and polite. I go here often with the family with no issues.

Stopped in for a food and the Packer game. The food is fairly priced and absolutely delicious. Get the broasted chicken, you won’t be disappointed. Beer was served in frosted mugs, which really hit the spot. Definitely will be back.

This is a must stop if you are in the area. One of the oldest bars around, don’t judge a book by its cover. Hands down they make the best pizza you will find. My other favorite are the homemade french fries. Honestly we’ve never had a bad meal there. Great atmosphere and friendly owners/employees!

Old style, redneck, local bar, kinda interesting, loud music, old 100 year old pool table, dollar bills stuck to the ceiling (not sure how they are stuck), semi expensive pizza (crazy thick cheese), proper gin and tonic… Try it, you might like it.
