- 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.

Birch has a standard of making you feel as if you are the only diner in the room. Mother’s Day brunch was no exception to this as we were warmly welcomed from the moment we set foot inside. The staff was attentive to our table and in tune with our pace, needs, and demeanor. There are not enough adjectives in the English language to describe how positive our experience was. Other area restaurants should take note of how things are done here.
