Portage
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Portage, Wisconsin
Portage sits at the historic portage point between the Wisconsin and Fox Rivers, a trade route used by Native Americans and French fur traders long before the city was founded.

Local spots like Pohlk's Pub, The Rail Yard, and The Whiskey Barrel keep the small-town tavern scene going.
