Xe54: a Wine & Cocktail Lounge

Xe54 hums with the kind of low-lit energy you crave after a long week in the Fox Valley. Plush seating, exposed brick, and a subtle pulse of live music turn this lounge into an anchor for Neenah’s after-hours crowd—locals drifting in for half-off bottles on Wednesdays, friends splitting charcuterie boards as trivia questions flash above the bar, couples decompressing with inventive cocktails. The staff here make you feel like a regular even if it’s your first visit; there’s genuine warmth behind each pour and recommendation. It’s not just a bar—it’s where the city’s wine lovers, craft cocktail explorers, and community event seekers cross paths. Xe54 bridges small-town hospitality with urban lounge sensibility, never losing its neighborhood soul despite its sharp aesthetic. For visitors, it’s a taste of Neenah’s emerging scene; for locals, it’s a weekly ritual.
