This famous dive bar with a slightly racist-sounding name is located at 201 Broadway in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. It’s named after the owner, Nigel, and opened in 1947. Wisconsin Dells has been a family vacation destination since the nineteenth century.

    The bar was started by
    Archie “Nig” Kinney my uncle. We would stop in
    When vacationing in
    Wisconsin Dell’s and have cherry cokes and Shirley Temples when we were kids.
