Nelsen's Hall Bitters Pub
“Take the bitters shot, get your card, and join a club with a century of members: Washington Island's happiest rite of passage.”
Washington Island tavern operating since 1899 — reputedly Wisconsin's oldest continuously operating bar — home of the Angostura bitters shot tradition.
Seasonal: Open year-round; check hours before an off-season ferry trip, when island schedules thin out.
