- 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.

    It was a pleasure to meet friends and family for a birthday dinner. Kai our server was very friendly. We received complimentary desserts from the restaurant and staff to help us celebrate our birthdays. They truly went above the bar with service. We will definitely be back!

    Absolutely loved this supper club as they really took the time to think about their menu offerings and presentation of the dishes. Everything was flavorful and cooked to our liking. 9 time out of 10 I’m disappointed by “traditional supper clubs” but RCI does it right and I look forward to going back soon!

    This was our first time at Red Circle, Inn and it did not disappoint! We wanted to treat our friend to a special evening out. Creating fun, memories and laughs during a difficult time in her life. The Red Circle staff and our waitress Heather, understood the assignment. They were incredibly attentive, offered great suggestions off the menu, answered all our questions, even the ones regarding ingredients in each of the cocktails and took extra time to give us a tour when we were finished with our meal. Ask for Heather when you make reservations. She and the General Manager were amazing!

    First time experience for for dinner. Service was slow took 15min after being seated. Others seated after us was serviced sooner. Depends on server assignments. Food selection does not match online offerings. Wife stuff shrimp was good except mash potatoes was runny. I had prime rib and thickness was thin and un flavored full. Should pick something else. No others steaks offered. Smashed potatoes was runny and might have been ?? Better off ordering bake potatoes. French onions soup was very good. Drinks were good but a lot of ice. It’s a little pricey so be prepared. Most items are add-on. It’s a nice establishment and seemed to be liked by others. First impressions was not as expected for food. Ps. They operate 2 kitchens depending on being seated up or downstairs.
