What Makes Supper Clubs Excellent Places To Dine In

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.

Wisconsin state did have a lot of backcountry roads back then. Some little towns were found on these roads, where farming families decided to live together and have a main street. Taking a break from fighting the law, gangs took breaks in these places, away from central locations where the FBI had offices, places with many escape routes.

These main streets had some makeshift eateries, where some folks could spend the time of day, and gangsters were something from another planet. But these boys knew how to butter up people, and they wanted a moment of peace in the middle of a war. Over time, these diners grew with the custom brought in by gangs, and the quality food and liquor they brought in with them.

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.

The state of Wisconsin thus has its own roadhouse diners that are unique. These are quiet places that seem more like restaurants listed for Paris suburbia on the Michelin list. They do not partake of their beginnings, are very clean and legit, nothing like their start as gangster hideouts or having furtive business going on at the back.

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 cooking is classic American or Midwestern, with big steaks and complete sides. However, the merchandise has expanded to a great extent. These places will become a favorites for anyone after that first time visit, and thus continues a grand tradition of quiet hospitality that even the most hardbitten gangsters appreciated.
