Tom's Burned Down Cafe is a quirky cocktail lounge located on Madeline Island in Wisconsin. Despite its unconventional name and salvaged decor, it offers a fun atmosphere perfect for hanging out with friends and enjoying strong drinks like Bloody Marys and Margaritas. The cafe is a truly one-of-a-kind experience and a must-stop when visiting the island. The structure itself is incredible and immediately sets the tone for the unique atmosphere inside. The signage and quirky décor are hilarious and completely random, making it a memorable and fun place to explore. It is a unique place with eclectic people and local flavor. Nothing fancy, pure honesty. It is ideal for a casual night out with a laid-back island vibe. The staff is friendly and engaging. Visitors often enjoy the lively, relaxed environment that matches the friendly and easygoing vibe of the island. The open-concept design adds a unique touch, making it a memorable spot to experience the true spirit of Madeline Island. Cheers to the unexpected!
Very cool place to hang out! Had a couple drinks there before leaving the island.
