A staple Wisconsin "dive bar"! Fun environment with iconic decor. Tight squeeze inside but outdoor seating is available. I will go to this bar every time we're up north! Pull tabs available here.

Stopped by after a hike for refreshments. Had their Bloody Mary and OMG! One of the best I have ever had! This place had a fun vibe. They say money doesn’t grow on trees but if you’re hanging around at The Little Jug you will see money hanging all over the ceiling and walls.
