List of Old Bars in Superior

Photo by Jennifer Moore

Back in May, a collection of Superior bar memorabilia was briefly displayed at the Spirit Room. On a sheet of white paper, a list of old Superior bars was created, and folks passing through added to it.

Below are photos of two items in the display and some related content. The collection shown at the Spirit Room was fairly vast, this is just a tiny sample.

Come on and fly at the Cove Cabaret!

Joker’s Wild was at 1811 Broadway St., as shown in the photo below from the Wisconsin Historical Society.

    Some dark humor during the pandemic. A famed Superior bar resurfaces like a virus.

    Was there a bar in Superior called Flankers in 2022?

    Although it is difficult to be certain of anything in this world, I’m going to go ahead and say with confidence that there was not a bar in Superior called Flankers at any point in recent history.
