Meet thenew captains.

We took over Captain Mike's in July 2019. We've made plenty of improvements inside and out, and kept everything that made it a Kenosha legend.

We expanded the craft gin selection, kept the tap list deep and kept the best burgers in Kenosha exactly that. Stop in and say hello. You might even meet the original Captain Mike. He still comes in for a drink or two.

The menu

Known forthe menu.

The burger names include Cheeseburger Walrus, Shopping Cart and plenty more that don't belong on a website. Guests build their own burgers and, even more popular, their own mac 'n cheese.

We use fresh ingredients and local sources where we can, and Wisconsin brews fill the taps. In good weather two big garage-door windows open onto the sidewalk seating.
