Dot's Tavern

"Dot’s Tavern is a quintessential rural Wisconsin dive bar experience. Walking down to the basement bar feels like walking down the steep steps to your friend’s parent’s home bar. The service is as you’d expect, straight to the point, but happy to engage in conversation, especially when there’s a game on. Don’t forget the shake of the day!"

"I was doing a long distance run on the trail. I was halfway in, about to double back and tackle the second half when the fajitas I had last night made it Crystal clear they wanted off the ride. I pulled up Google Maps and found that this place was only another .3 miles up the path. So I clenched and made my way towards Dots hoping they’d be kind enough to let me use the bathroom. When I got there I spotted a porta potty in the back patio area. There were regulars populating the bar. None of them said anything as I rushed by them and found relief. Thank you Dots. I vow to Return and actually buy some food and drinks from you. Your place looks really nice and the people seemed fun. Until then, I owe you a 5 star review on vibes alone."

"Best and only place in Basco. The people are great and the food at the food truck are great. I had the best burger there, everyone else enjoyed the gyro specials. Great fries to boot!"

"Awesome place to rest up mid-hike or bike ride on the Badger State Trail/Ice Age Trail. We stopped after a long hike and enjoyed a beer and pop. Great socially distanced seating in the back. Inside is closed, except for the restroom and atm (note they only take cash). Would absolutely recommend!"
