Just know you're going to a unique place, eclectic people with local flavor. Nothing fancy, pure honesty. I LOVE this place due to the people that work and frequent here. Peace. Geo and Cooper.

Pretty much the only thing to do in September on the island! We came here for the first time on a windy and cold day, stopped at Tom’s for a drink. Nice bartender. Fun, joking, vulgar, signs all around. Pretty unique! Bloody Mary was $13 and just okay.

The gigantic signs outside this building promoting mRNA shot mandates and racism directly contradict the atmosphere of this place.

What a funny, quirky little bar. Its not what you’d expect in a small town, but it’s off-beat and fun.

Tom’s Burned Down Cafe on Madeline Island is a truly one-of-a-kind experience and a must-stop when visiting the island. This bar is outrageous in the best possible way. The structure itself is incredible—looking like a circus tent held up by a sailboat mast—and immediately sets the tone for the unique atmosphere inside.
The signage and quirky décor scattered throughout the bar are hilarious and completely random, making it a memorable and fun place to explore. Choosing where to sit was a delightful challenge, as every seating option was creative and unusual. We started in the indoor tiki hut but eventually moved outdoors to enjoy the beautiful weather. Many of the seats were made from old vehicle benches—nothing matched, but it all came together in such a cool, eclectic layout.
If you’re looking for a spot to explore, soak in a wildly unique environment, and enjoy some delicious drinks, Tom’s is the place to go. Just remember to bring cash!

Major Florida vibes. This is strange because this is northern Wisconsin, not Florida. And Florida sucks.

Certainly an interesting and eclectic experience. Beer was cold, music was good and there was plenty to look at. Not sure I would be a regular, but as a tourist it was worth the stop.
