Delavan
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Delavan, Wisconsin
Delavan, a small town on the shores of Delavan Lake in southern Wisconsin, has a history as a 19th-century winter headquarters for traveling circuses, which wintered their performers and animals here before moving on for the season. BarFinder lists 30 venues today, overwhelmingly sports bars and classic bars, led by local spots like Waterfront Pub and Grill and South Shore Bar & Grill that lean into the lake-town setting. It's a scene built around a lakeside, small-town sports-bar culture rather than any nightlife district.
