About this venue

Experience the nostalgia of a quintessential Wisconsin getaway at Buckatabon Tavern & Supper Club. Located in the heart of Wauwatosa Village overlooking the Menomonee River, Buckatabon brings the magic of the Northwoods to the city. Inspired by the multi-generational, family-run lodges of the 1940s–60s, the venue blends rustic lodge comfort with sophisticated supper club elegance. From the reclaimed wood paneling and vintage maps to the plush red velvet booths, the atmosphere is "gezellig"—warm, inviting, and soulful. Whether you're hosting a cozy rehearsal dinner or a festive post-wedding brunch, Buckatabon offers a modern twist on regional flavors, signature Old Fashioneds, and classic Wisconsin hospitality.
