Red Circle Inn

Red Circle Inn A true Wisconsin original since 1848. Welcome to Red Circle Inn. Grab a drink and settle in; you are about to experience Wisconsin’s oldest restaurant.
(538)

Wisconsin’s oldest restaurant serving fresh takes on classics: Brandy Old Fashioneds, crafted dishes, 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 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.

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

Every home tells a story. For severely injured post 9/11 Veterans, a specially adapted home can mean renewed independence, dignity, and freedom.

Geronimo Hospitality Group is proud to partner with Homes For Our Troops to help make that possible.

Now through the end of the year, guests visiting any of our properties can support this incredible mission by making a simple donation during their visit. Every dollar helps Homes For Our Troops build and donate custom adapted homes that empower Veterans to rebuild their lives.

If you'd like to support the mission today, you can also donate online:

Together, we can help build independence for those who have sacrificed so much.
