“ Eat here and not at the fish boil place across the street. Welcker's is far better in every way. The sea scallops with macadamia nuts were delightful. The prime rib was generous and exceptional. And my husband loved his crispy duck. The background music was very pleasant, and our waitresses had attractive flapper dresses on. There are affordable wine options on the menu if you wish to buy a bottle. We would definitely eat here again. I wish there were a ramp to enter, as there appears to be no disabled entry. ”
“ The food is just a picture perfect meal, the best steaks in fish creek. Music is very soothing in the back for a delicious meal. 10/10 recommend! ”
“ Located in the Whistling Swan Inn, Welcker's Lounge had the best drinks we had all weekend! We stopped in while we were shopping the area and we have to say that we love the creative drinks (especially the Bathtub Gin cocktail), beautiful speakeasy feel, and Steve (the owner) was one of the nicest people we met during the weekend. The drinks were perfectly mixed and the food being cooked in the back smelled amazing! We will definitely be back next time to eat and enjoy the live music. If you are in the area, this place is a MUST TRY! ”
“ What a wonderful experience for my first time here! The ambience of a speakeasy restaurant and bar is very unique and fun. The live pianist was an excellent touch. Lisa and her staff are very friendly and attentive! I would definitely recommend the crabcakes appetizer and the lightly breaded walleye with their root vegetable gratine. Whether you do dinner, appetizers or just a drink at the bar, this is a great addition to downtown Fish Creek. I’ll be back! ”
