Located in the heart of the Swiss-themed village of New Glarus, Wisconsin, Kleeman’s Bar & Grill is a quintessential “Sconnie” destination. Owned and operated by Gregory and Erin Kleeman, the establishment carries a deep family history. After a devastating fire in 2011, the venue was rebuilt into a modern, spacious tavern that beautifully balances village architectural codes with a classic, cedar-accented American interior.
The bar is widely recognized for its “hometown” atmosphere and a firm commitment to local sourcing. All burger meat is delivered fresh from Hoesly’s Meats, and their buns are crafted by the renowned New Glarus Bakery.

Unique Features and Drink Selection
A standout feature of the bar is a large wooden die located behind the counter. It is the only artifact saved from the original 1874 building. Guests can roll it for a chance to win various prizes, adding to the fun, community-driven energy of the venue.
Regarding drinks, Kleeman’s focuses heavily on local craft. They prominently feature brews from the New Glarus Brewing Company, including staples like Spotted Cow and Moon Man on tap. They also offer a full range of cocktails (notably their Bloody Marys), hard liquor, and wine.
