The History of Sky Club As noted on the supper club’s menu

In 1935, a new business ventured its way into the small town of Plover, Wisconsin. Originally called Army’s, it was later changed to Sky Club, due to the close location to Felix Gauthier’s McDill Airport (now located on Airline Road).

Boasting lunch specials consisting of homemade sandwiches and oven-baked chicken, it attracted many hungry tourists who also had the opportunity to spend the evening at the business’s camping facilities, offered at no expense. A gas and oil service station was also included for those who may have been on their way to a more distant location. Marion Nall started this unique combination of services, set among stately oaks offering a quiet country setting close the airport.

The original building not only housed a bar and a restaurant, but also served as a home to the operators. It didn’t take long for this wayside to become an identifiable spot for travelers heading through Plover and Stevens Point. Near the end of World War II, the tourist season seemed to grow along

Speaking of old fashioneds, Sky Club uses a mix created by one of the current owners, Eric Freund. I can personally attest to the fact that it ranks among the top old fashioneds I’ve tasted. And to make it even better, the mix is bottled and available for sale. Once you have your cocktail in hand courtesy of one of the friendly bartenders, you can find a place to sit in the bar area and relax until your table is ready. Feel free to order appetizers while you wait, including that Wisconsin supper club must-have: cheese curds.
