Birmingham's dates back to the late 1920's when current owner Brad Birmingham's granddad built the place. It's old fashioned, in fact I doubt that it has changed much at all from the day its doors opened, which is a major reason for its charm. Brad is the perfect host/bartender who immediately makes everyone who walks in the door feel at... More

Had a fish fry which was very good. Fish was fresh caught in Lake michigan according to the (very friendly) waitress. Nice casual little place with a typical upnorth Wisconsin feel to it.

Next time I want a cold burger served late on untoasted wonderbread I'll rush back to Birminghams. They have a nice location, it could be so much better. A very serious disappointment!

Great burger! Cooked to perfection. I like mine rare and it was perfect! With cheese and fried onions served on home made bread made fresh that morning. (Home made bread is only available on Saturdays). I would reccomend this place to anyone looking for good food at a reasonable price served in a real home town friendly atmosphere.

Low key bar where you can get a reasonably priced drink, along the side of Bay Shore Drive. Brad the owner is friendly, and you feel like you belong within the first 15 minutes; The Cheers of Door County!

A bit off the beaten path and worth the short drive from your hotel or downtown. A large u-shaped bar plus a dining room. Classic 70's Elton John pinball machine combined with friendly bartenders, welcoming locals and good mixed drinks make it a worthwhile stop. Their burger on homemade white bread is a unique twist on an old favorite.
