Nelsen's Hall Bitters Pub

1201 Main Road, Washington, WI 54246
, (920) 847-2496

Not even Prohibition could shut down the drinking establishment, which is the oldest continuously operating tavern in the Wisconsin, a title that comes thanks to bitters. The tradition of drinking bitters came from Danish immigrant and bar founder Tom Nelsen, who, according to the spot's current owner Robin Ditello, used to throw back a pint of bitters daily. Opened in 1902, Nelsen's Hall was a mainstay on the island for decades, but when the Volstead Act was passed in 1919, it threatened to (legally) shut down every liquor establishment in the country. Not content to say farewell to his beloved libation, Nelsen resorted to clever maneuvering — applying for a pharmaceutical license — to keep his tavern in operation.
