Olde Town Tavern

Olde Town Tavern Downtown Appleton's Premier Whiskey Bar If you're at one of the town's best retro bars, your visit will always be great fun.

What makes a superb retro bar is a place where the bartenders are knowledgeable & friendly, where the bar is frequented by locals (a sure sign of quality), but where you won't find strobe lights or novelty drinks with glowing straws. The Olde Town Tavern is an oasis, a place where the only worry is what to order. These welcoming spots are destinations in their own right, offering memorable combina

tions of great beers, good company, and storied pasts. The next time you're in town, may we suggest you come & visit us any time...

We are SO excited to announce that our beloved neon sign is almost ready! It's been away at the "Neon Sign Wizard" for some much-needed TLC, and we can't wait to get it back! 🤩
The window has been feeling a little dim without that iconic glow, but things are about to brighten up around here very soon. Get ready to see the sparkle return!

Olde Town Tavern will be closed tonight due to inclement weather.

But the storm won’t stop the fun entirely — our friends at Bazil's Pub are open and ready to host tonight’s Beer Tasting featuring Revolution Brewing!

If you’re braving the elements and still want a great time, head over to Bazil’s for an evening of craft brews, good company, and a warm refuge from the cold.

Stay safe out there, and we’ll see you back at OTT soon. 🥃❄️
