The Saloon on Calhoun

There’s is this super cool dude named Travis Steffen. He goes to so many live music shows it’s almost impossible not to see him.

He videos truly professional clips and shares them on his YouTube channel. Well, until YouTube took his channel away.

He is rebuilding a new channel and needs subscribers.

If you enjoy live music and can’t get to as many shows as Travis does, would you please consider subscribing? He needs your help, and I’m happy to pass along the link! Please subscribe!

Places I go. People I know. Stuff I see. Mostly Live Music from the Wisconsin Aria. An Archive of The Wisconsin Music Scene.

Although we have all moved on, and gone life’s separate ways… when we said we were family, we meant forever. Loved todays casual reunion! Stay tuned for future “family gatherings” - open to all Saloonatics! 🤗

It is official. Our final commitment was completed yesterday. Thanks to ALL who allowed us to finish strong! We ended after 11 years because of economic and leasehold issues beyond our control. We are grateful that we were able to provide our staff family a month's notice so they could plan ahead. We are glad all our bills are paid in full, we own no taxes, have no debt, and fulfilled the requirements of our lease on our terms. We couldn't have done it without your AMAZING support!

We will NEVER FORGET all the memories, and the countless friendships made! We appreciate you all more than you will ever know! THANK YOU!

We will leave the page in place for a time because there are so many memories captured on it. We will not be checking it for messages or responding to comments from this point forward. You will always be our extended family, and we love you!! Let's go see some live music together!! :)

We haven't posted since our final days open. We had a LOT to deal with in closing...
Thank you EVERYONE for your well-wishes and shared stories over the last few weeks! You overfilled our hearts with love and appreciation and we cannot thank you enough!

The FINAL fundraiser we had scheduled at Saloon happens THIS SUNDAY! It's NOT at Saloon, instead, it's down the street at PISTOL PETE'S! (Graciously taking on the event when we announced our closing)

We would LOVE to see some of your beautiful faces Sunday while we help raise money for Cheryl!

Hey all you AMAZING Saloonatics!! We sure are going to miss you!! You have shown us so much love since announcing our closing, we can never express how much we appreciate your visit and well-wishes!! We truly love you all!!

Remember, starting tomorrow Wednesday at 4 PM we open for our last four days of business. We sure hope to see all of the people we love so much! 🤗

We want to THANK all of you who have been stopping in to say goodbye to Saloon, and our INCREDIBLE staff! (People who committed, knowing their job is ending, to stay with us to the very end... rare and amazing people who we will love forever)

POINT IS: This is our FINAL WEEK OPEN to the public. Wed & Thur we open at 4pm. Fri & Sat we open for lunch at 11am. That's it. 4 more days. Dave, Jennine and the rest of Saloon's staff (present & past) have been honored to serve you to the BEST of our ability! Thank you for all the ETERNAL MEMORIES!! :)

Many have asked... "What happened, we always saw you so busy!?!" We have said what is true. Governor Tony Evers' weak leadership and lack of consideration to the aftermath of his mandated shut downs created this. But, unlike a major non-for-profit who can ask for help on a major local news network, we had to fight basically alone to survive. Listen to their numbers. THIS is what we experienced. This is why we are closing. And that is why we aim to remind people what weak Tony did to thousands of small businesses across our state. NEVER FORGET MARCH 17th 2020!

PS... Support LIVE MUSIC wherever you find it! Go out and spend what you can! EVERYONE is hurting. It's the policies of an over-reaching government that have caused this. Don't be woke. WAKE UP! United we stand. Divided, we fall.

Our local arts groups have lost nearly 38 million dollars of revenue from the outset of COVID

TONIGHT!! It’s a day before the Primary. Do you KNOW the person you're voting for? If you’re not sure, come out and meet Rebecca Kleefisch and ask her your tough questions. She would love to meet you!

Doors open at 7pm. Bar is OPEN! Kitchen will be closed, so please eat before you join us. 😃

Friends of Saloon…
You are cordially invited next Monday night to come listen to whom we believe will be the person to replace Tony Evers.

If you have questions, bring them. This will be the final campaign stop before election day!

Small businesses, and employees need a warrior who will fight on behalf of the American dream before it’s extinguished for all.

If you’re not sure who you support yet, we highly encourage your attendance!

Monday August 8th 7:45pm. ALL are welcome!

Tony… you took away OUR business and jobs; now, we’re coming to take away YOURS!

Dave and Jennine just want to thank you personally for all you've meant to us.
