“entertaining all ages for over 110 years”

Lunch and Dinners are fresh off the grill. Dine over the open water or inside the covered deck. Bite into a juicy mushroom swissburger or a spicy cajun chicken sandwich. Or sample some Wisconsin deep-fried cheese curds. Sit back and watch the boats or an occasional Loon go by as you sip on one of our famous "Summer Hummers". Don't go home without a souvenir t-shirt or can cooler featuring the famous Thirsty Whale logo. The Thirsty Whale has been entertaining all ages for 110 years. Located on Lake Minocqua you get a first handview of the local water ski shows or other boaters cruising by. No matter if you arrive by land or by lake you can try a tasty char-grilled burger or enjoy a Fri.Fish Fry dining on the porch.
