Wheel Inn

Stepping into Wheel Inn feels like returning to a familiar, welcoming retreat nestled within the quiet charm of Crivitz. This isn’t a place that rushes you — here, the pace slows just enough to settle into easy conversation, laughter, and the simple pleasures of good company. The recently updated interior and outdoor bar invite visitors to relax, whether gathered around after a day exploring County Highway W or stopping in for a spontaneous local evening.

The atmosphere is comfortably unpretentious, with a warmth that comes as much from the attentive staff as it does from the cozy, lived-in setting. There’s a steady hum of friendly chatter and the clinking of glasses that feels genuine, not staged, making Wheel Inn a spot where neighbors might gather after work and travelers find welcome company.

Food and drink here lean into the hearty, homey side of things with just the right balance of classic bar fare and local favorites. Whether indulging in a thoughtfully prepared chicken dinner or savoring crispy, cheesy bites while sharing a pitcher, the menu caters to uncomplicated cravings and occasions that center on comfort. Special nights lend an added layer of delight — like Mexican evenings paired with margaritas, or the lively Saturday meat raffles that bring out a spirited crowd. And Fridays carry the treasured ritual of a fish fry, where flaky perch or walleye tell their own stories of Wisconsin’s rich culinary landscape.

Service flows seamlessly in this setting — friendly faces move through the room with genuine care, making sure the food comes out warm and the experience feels personal. The Mile Inn’s character thrives in these everyday moments, creating an unhurried rhythm where both locals and visitors can savor a taste of up north hospitality, served with an easy smile and the perfect pour.
