Best supper clubs around Lake Geneva

Mars Resort

Mars Resort is the one I’d send you to first if you want the Lake Como version of a Wisconsin supper club.

It sits on South Shore Drive, about 4 miles from downtown Lake Geneva. Mars Resort has been serving food, drinks, and live music since 1923, with BBQ, fish fry, steaks, burgers, drinks, and Lake Como sunsets.

The bar opens daily at 11 AM, with the kitchen open daily at 11 AM too. Kitchen service runs until 9 PM Sunday through Thursday and until 10 PM Friday and Saturday.

Address: W4098 South Shore Dr., Lake Geneva
Phone: 262-245-5689
Best for: Lake Como views, ribs, fish fry, live music, and that old Lake Geneva resort-road feel
Website: Mars Resort

Kim & Joel’s tip: Go near sunset if you can.

The Village Supper Club

The Village Supper Club is the Delavan Lake pick, and it’s one of the prettiest supper club rooms in the area.

The restaurant sits at 1725 South Shore Drive in Delavan. It’s a Wisconsin supper club tradition since 1882, with dinner Wednesday through Sunday starting at 4 PM.

The Village Supper Club has a private pier, so guests can arrive by car or boat.

Address: 1725 S Shore Dr., Delavan
Phone: 262-456-3400
Best for: Delavan Lake views, date-night energy, cocktails, and a polished supper club dinner
Website: The Village Supper Club

This is probably the most “make a reservation and dress up a little if you feel like it” supper club on the list.

The Duck Inn Supper Club

The Duck Inn Supper Club is the countryside classic.

It’s located at N6214 WI-89, on the corner of County A and Highway 89 in the township of Richmond, with a Delavan mailing address. The restaurant describes itself as a traditional supper club with atmosphere, cocktails, and a fine meal.

Dinner includes choice of soup, juice, tossed salad, or spinach salad, plus choice of potato or rice, bread, crackers, and cheese. That is about as supper club as supper club gets.

Address: N6214 WI-89, Delavan
Phone: 608-883-6988
Best for: Old-school supper club pacing, cocktails, steak, fish fry, and a backroads drive
Website: The Duck Inn Supper Club

I like The Duck Inn Supper Club when you want less polish and more “this place has been doing its thing forever.”

Brandy’s Old Fashioned

Brandy’s Old Fashioned is Lake Geneva’s newer supper club.

It’s at W3230 South Lake Shore Drive, with hours listed Monday through Friday starting at 4 PM, Saturday and Sunday starting at 10:30 AM.

Brandy’s Old Fashioned A vintage-inspired Lake Geneva supper club with an old-school menu, fish fry, broasted chicken, classic brandy Old Fashioneds, and a Wisconsin supper club atmosphere.

Address: W3230 S Lake Shore Dr., Lake Geneva
Phone: 262-203-5175
Best for: Brandy Old Fashioneds, fish fry, broasted chicken, retro decor, and a newer Lake Geneva supper club night
Website: Brandy’s Old Fashioned

This is the one to watch. It feels built for the next generation of Lake Geneva supper club people.

Ye Olde Hotel Bar & Restaurant

Ye Olde Hotel Bar & Restaurant in Lyons is a sleeper pick.

It’s not lakefront. It’s not fancy. But the building dates back to 1860, and Travel Wisconsin lists the address as 6070 N Railroad in Lyons.

A Walworth County supper club guide also calls Ye Olde Hotel Bar & Restaurant another supper club with a rich past, located between Lake Geneva and Burlington.

Address: 6070 N Railroad St., Lyons
Phone: 262-763-2701
Best for: Fish fry, tavern-style supper, local history, and a low-key Lyons stop
Website: Ye Olde Hotel Bar & Restaurant

This is the place on the list where you go because someone local told you to.

The Getaway on Lake Como

The Getaway on Lake Como is supper-club-adjacent, with lake views, dinner, cocktails, prime rib, fish fry, and live music.

It’s on Lake Como, just minutes from downtown Lake Geneva. The Getaway on Lake Como says the restaurant is located at the historic French Country Inn property, formerly known as the Lake Como Hotel.

The dinner menu page says The Getaway on Lake Como is known for prime rib, fish fry, steaks, Italian food, and lake views.

Address: Lake Como, Lake Geneva
Best for: Lake Como dinner, prime rib, fish fry, cocktails, and live music
Website: The Getaway on Lake Como

I’d call The Getaway on Lake Como a modern lake restaurant with supper club bones.

Michael’s on the Lake

Michael’s on the Lake is outside the immediate Lake Geneva circle, but supper club people should know it.

It’s in Kansasville at 3101 Eagle Road. Wisconsin Supper Clubs lists Michael’s on the Lake in its Southeast Region supper club map.

Steaks, seafood, chicken, pork, burgers, sandwiches, pizza, and fish fry.

Address: 3101 Eagle Rd., Kansasville
Phone: 262-878-3313
Best for: Eagle Lake views, steaks, seafood, fish fry, and a farther supper club drive
Website: Michael’s on the Lake

This is the outer-edge pick. I’d use it when you’re already near Burlington, Waterford, or Kansasville.

Supper-club-style restaurants by Lake Geneva area community

The Lake Geneva Weekend community guides cover Lake Geneva, Williams Bay, Fontana, Abbey Springs, Walworth, Geneva National, Delavan, Elkhorn, Twin Lakes, Genoa City, and Richmond, Burlington, Darien, Sharon, East Troy, and Whitewater.

Lake Geneva

Lake Geneva has the strongest supper club cluster.

Start with Brandy’s Old Fashioned on South Lake Shore Drive, Mars Resort on Lake Como, Emmi’s Lake Geneva downtown, and The Getaway on Lake Como for a supper-club-adjacent lake dinner.

Williams Bay

The closest fits are Mars Resort, Brandy’s Old Fashioned, The Village Supper Club, and The Duck Inn Supper Club.

Fontana

For a supper club night from Fontana, I’d look at The Village Supper Club on Delavan Lake or Brandy’s Old Fashioned on the south shore of Geneva Lake.

Abbey Springs

The Village Supper Club is the cleanest pick for a Delavan Lake dinner. Brandy’s Old Fashioned and Mars Resort are good Geneva Lake and Lake Como options.

Village of Walworth

The closest supper club nights are The Village Supper Club in Delavan and The Duck Inn Supper Club near Richmond.

Geneva National and Lake Como

Geneva National and Lake Como sit right in the path of several strong dinner picks.

Mars Resort is the main supper club anchor. The Getaway on Lake Como is a supper-club-adjacent lakefront option. Brandy’s Old Fashioned is close by on South Lake Shore Drive.

Delavan

The Village Supper Club is the Delavan Lake headliner. The Duck Inn Supper Club is the countryside classic north of town.

Elkhorn

For an Elkhorn supper club night, go to The Duck Inn Supper Club or The Village Supper Club. Both are close enough to make the drive feel normal.

Twin Lakes, Genoa City, and Richmond

Fitzgerald’s Genoa Junction

Burlington

Burlington is closest to Ye Olde Hotel Bar & Restaurant in Lyons and Michael’s on the Lake in Kansasville.

Both work better as “near Burlington” supper club drives than Lake Geneva proper.

Darien

For supper club nights, look west toward The Village Supper Club or south toward The Duck Inn Supper Club.

Sharon

The strongest nearby options are The Village Supper Club and The Duck Inn Supper Club.

East Troy

For a supper club drive from East Troy, I’d look toward Mars Resort, Brandy’s Old Fashioned, or Ye Olde Hotel Bar & Restaurant.

Whitewater

For a Whitewater-area dinner, The Duck Inn Supper Club and The Village Supper Club are the better regional picks.

Lauderdale Lakes

The closest good supper club options are The Duck Inn Supper Club and The Village Supper Club.

What makes a Wisconsin supper club feel right?

A Wisconsin supper club doesn’t need to be fancy.

It needs a bar where you can start slow. It needs a proper Old Fashioned, a fish fry, prime rib or steak, and a dinner that doesn’t feel rushed.

Some places are historic. Some are newer and built in the same spirit. Around Lake Geneva, the best supper club nights are the ones that still feel local after the first drink hits the table.
