Old Fashioned: The Story of the Wisconsin Supper Club(en)

Supper club restaurants were the hot dinning trend in the mid twentieth century. They provided a place for people to spend their evenings enjoying cocktails, home cooked, high quality food and entertainment. The supper club scene slowly faded from the rest of the country, but kept a strong hold in Wisconsin due to a culture that allowed it to thrive. Around for decades, supper clubs in Wisconsin have been able to hold their own style and traditions.

Old Fashioned: The Story of the Wisconsin Supper Club takes you into this uniquely Wisconsin institution.
