Badger Bars

If you want an excellent look at the history of some of the bars and taverns that made Wisconsin great, you should check out Badger Bars & Tavern Tales: An Illustrated History of Wisconsin Saloons:

Journey back to the days when neighborhood taverns were the social hubs of all small towns. Relive the days when wild revelry was the norm. Old newspaper articles and photos are highlighted throughout the book. Interviews with "old-timers" give a personal glimpse into the days when Wisconsin was wild. Taverns and towns throughout the state are featured.

I picked up the book in July and brought it with me on the 500. It's chock full of pics and colorful tales of bar life throughout Wisconsin's history.
