Damn Yankees Watering Hole

Stepping into Damn Yankees Watering Hole, you’re welcomed by a sense of easygoing comfort that only a well-loved local bar and grill can offer. Nestled beside the gentle flow of the Wolf River just outside Hortonville, the setting carries a relaxed, rustic charm — part cozy log cabin warmth, part breezy riverside retreat. It’s the kind of place where the pace slows naturally, inviting you to settle in whether you’re dining inside the spacious, airy main room or outside on the patio, soaking in fresh air and soft river breezes.

The atmosphere feels unhurried and genuine, shaped by friendly faces behind the bar and tables shared among neighbors and travelers alike. This is a spot where there’s room to breathe and space to enjoy both lively moments and quiet conversations. You might catch the easy laughter of friends gathered over a round, or the pleasant clink of glasses marking the start of a relaxing evening. It’s a community anchor, defined as much by the warmth of its people as by its surroundings.

When it comes to food and drink, Damn Yankees strikes a satisfying balance between hearty comfort and approachable classics, all served without fuss but with care. The menu invites you to savor familiar favorites — from the rich, indulgent heft of the Yankee Burger to the crispy, golden allure of cheese curds, known locally as a must-try. There’s also a welcoming variety for those seeking lighter options or breakfast to start the day right. Drinks echo the laid-back vibe with simple pleasures like a well-crafted Bloody Mary, perfect with a little extra kick.

Whether you’re visiting for a casual meal after a day spent outdoors or gathering with friends for a bite and a cold drink, Damn Yankees feels like a natural extension of the neighborhood — unpretentious, dependable, and warm. It’s a place to pause, enjoy good company, and make a few new stories along the river’s edge.
