Lost Key Tap Restaurant

Lost Key Tap Restaurant is the kind of place small towns rarely get to keep secret for long. Just off Washington Street in Wrightstown, it stands as a beacon with its striking wraparound bar and a mood that walks the line between neighborhood haunt and contemporary bistro. Step inside on a Friday night and you’ll find polished wood, warm lighting, and a low thrum of conversation—locals swapping stories at the bar, couples leaning in over craft cocktails, families lingering over dinner. There’s an honest Midwestern welcome here, from servers who treat you like an old friend to owners who make the rounds, checking in on tables with genuine curiosity. The menu surprises; it’s American at heart but unafraid to riff. You might start with bruschetta or beer-battered bacon—crispy, salty, addictive—and then move to salmon grilled just enough to keep its flavor or a macadamia-crusted walleye that brings a touch of the unexpected (even if not every risk pays off). House specials are worth following; regulars skip the menu altogether and ask for the nightly feature. Cocktails arrive with flair—sometimes an espresso martini misses the mark, sometimes it’s spot-on—but there’s always something new to try. Live music sets the pace some evenings, filling the room but never drowning out laughter. There’s no outdoor seating here; everything happens indoors, where booths give privacy and tables fill up fast—reservations are wise. The vibe is upscale yet relaxed: equally suited to anniversaries or post-game beers when there’s a game on TV. Lost Key Tap isn’t just feeding Wrightstown—it’s giving locals a reason to stay local and drawing in folks from nearby Green Bay. It’s become an anchor for gatherings big and small—a place where tradition gets nudged forward by ambition and community feels like more than just a word.
