This iconic historic Spooner  bar is the oldest bar in Spooner and has been in contionuous operation as the Buckhorn thru 4 different owners since the end of prohibition (and maybe during prohibition when it was a “card room”!).  We are known far and wide as the “bar where John F Kennedy stopped for a speech a beer and a visit to the rest room in 1960″.  We are renowned for our classic Northwoods look  with over 100 fish and game mounts including the famous two headed calf.  We are also known for having the coldest beer in town, our many Big Dick’s novelty items (shirts, hats, panties, shot glasses  etc) and our unique Big Dickski Shot Board.  We have 3 pool tables and a large game/party room which is open to the public and reservable for special events.  Pizzas, chips, snacks, White Castles and other prepackaged food items are available daily.  Open 11am to 2am M-Th, 11am to 2:30am F-Sat and 11am to 6pm Sun.

Open Memorial Day through Labor Day or by appointment. Housed in the former Chicago & Northwestern Railway depot, Spooner’s Railroad Memories Museum is packed with artifacts and memorabilia of the region’s railroad history and is staffed by retired railroaders and volunteers.

The Spooner Civic Center is open to the public again! We are excited to embark on our mission of being the monument of Spooner we were intended to be! The hockey rink and walking track and gym are open! Coming soon… turf room, racket ball, skate party nights and more!
