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.

Around for decades, supper clubs in Wisconsin have been able to hold their own style and traditions.
