Supper Clubs in Sturgeon Bay

4 places, each with a quick take from us — kept current as hours and seasons change.

• Birmingham's Bar and Cottages

  Order the hand-formed burger on white bread. Yes, white bread, not a bun: that is the house rule at this third-generation family bar on Bay Shore Drive, where the rental cottages out back sit right on the water.

• Donny's Glidden Lodge Restaurant

  $$$

  A classic Door County supper club on the quiet lake side: relish tray, Friday fish fry, prime rib on weekends, in the genre's unhurried, old-school style.

• Nightingale Supper Club

  Start with an old fashioned at the bar, then carry it under the neon Dining Room sign to the white tablecloths. Nightingale has been Sturgeon Bay's supper club since 1913, and the prime rib is what regulars come for. Dinner from five, Monday through Saturday, with a fish fry Wednesdays and Fridays.

• The Mill Supper Club

  This 1930 supper club three miles north of Sturgeon Bay pours a serious old fashioned and breads its own German Wiener Schnitzel, the thing to order. Family-style baked chicken shows up on Thursdays and Sundays.
