Copperstill Bourbon Bar

Copperstill Bourbon Bar is the kind of place you stumble into and immediately want to linger. Set in a historic brick building right on downtown Neenah’s main drag, this spot wraps you in exposed wood and the low hum of conversation. The bourbon selection is deep and obsessively curated, stacked behind the bar like prized artifacts ready to be poured neat or spun into a barrel-aged old fashioned. Locals treat it as both a hideout and their living room—a spot for unwinding solo after work or gathering with friends before a show at the nearby theater. Visitors get swept up in the charm: small tables clustered near oversized windows, a bartender who’ll talk whiskey as long as you’ll listen, and an easygoing pace that sidesteps both big-city pretense and rural kitsch. While service can swing from warm hospitality to long waits on off-nights, the soul of Copperstill remains rooted in genuine love for bourbon and community—a little slice of Midwest conviviality with just enough edge.
