Why Supper Clubs Are Great Places To Go To

By Ruth Walker


A restaurant that has distinct character came out of the Prohibition Era. These were town diners that were patronized by traveling gangsters who were on the run from the law, and these establishments became a sort of underground railroad for them. They simply came for some good food and drinks, paid in cash, were laconic and did not touch the locals.

Also, they provided these places with enough liquor when times spelt dry counties all over the country. Wisconsin supper clubs started out in this way, but immediately took on the legitimacy of clubs patronized by towsnfolk after liquor prohibition was lifted. They became surefire hits with an edge and a history.

Nowadays, this kind of club is a genteel place for the good folks of a town to gather and have good food and beverages. The standard is for fine dining, and all kinds of new advances in cuisine, styles and technology that have come to pass. The club of this sort is always current to all trends.

The state of Wisconsin used to have a lot less people and some great backroads. There were hamlets to be found by these roads, families of farmers that wanted to live together. Gang members in need of a break traveled found these, far from the long arm of the law and with excellent countrysides to hide in.

Main streets had only one place to eat or maybe drink, anything was shared in these salons, and they took in gangsters with a leery eye. But they were diplomatic and friendly, wanting only to eat, drink and rest without their guns out. In time, the owners and families started to open up so they would come back, again because they paid well and also brough great stuff like cheese and whiskey.

Supper clubs eventually took in the spirit of being fine places that were quiet but had a distinct flavor of being progressive. They are usually located on the city limits or beyond town, and enjoy the quiet and exclusive nature of rural enclaves. However, they are simply a drive away from the urban centers.

Wisconsin thus has its own version of roadhouses and clubs with an exclusive air. However, these are not too exclusive and have become like starred Michelin guide locations found in Paris suburbs. Which means that they are really legit and have no negative aura left over from the time they were patronized by gangs.

These restaurants, though, do not shy away from the past. The past is found on the walls, about harder times, but these cannot be seen in the way service is provided. Furtive enjoyment is not the thing here, just an open but quiet appreciation of things.

The tastes here are American or Midwestern, classic portions of steak, with excellent sides. But then, the owners are worldly enough and feature many kinds of entrees. These are diners that become instant favorites with first timers, and the tradition of quiet welcome continues, a thing that gangs from yesteryear appreciated in their own way.
