In Wisconsin’s Northwoods region, every day feels like a relaxing getaway, from the lush forest hiking trails to stunning lakes with year-round recreation activities to the famous Supper Clubs dotted throughout the region. Located in north central Wisconsin on the border of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, Wisconsin’s Northwoods are known for their outdoorsy activities including fishing, ice fishing, canoeing, snowshoeing, boating, cross-country and downhill skiing, snowmobiling, hunting, hiking, and camping. After a long day out in the fresh air, another Northwoods classic is in high demand: fine dining, most popular in the resurgence of supper clubs in the area. Dimly lit and dinner only, supper clubs invite patrons to linger and mingle before, during, and after their meal, with a focus as much on making patrons feel at home as it is on serving up the best drinks and cuisine.

Set off Country Road B, the Bear Trap Inn is a charming supper club with a stellar reputation, known for its elevated steaks and seafood. Run with a deep respect for past traditions in its over 85 years of business, the Bear Trap Inn continues to display nearly 100 pumpkins during Halloween, features floral arrangements from local businesses, and fills the pond with trout. Supporting local businesses and celebrating its Northwoods location are woven into the fabric of the Bear Trap Inn, which values its connection to the community and expands with that in mind, hosting new events like Farm-To-Tables, the Cast Iron Classic, and private events. Among the club’s signature dishes are its garlic stuffed tenderloin, pan seared walleye, and its Bear Trapeze cocktail, all locally inspired. While it remains true to its location and roots, the Bear Trap Inn continues to innovate as current owner Tom Baertschy travels around the world for global inspiration to add to the ever-growing menu.
