SoLu is located in the scenic Kettle Moraine State Forest of Wisconsin. The forested glacial hilles, kelle lakes, and prairies make for one of the best scenic drives in the Midwest. We encourage you to drive around the area prior to arriving. If time doesn't permit - don't worry - we'll be covering these roads on our Sunday Brunch Cruise.
One of the biggest events of the year at SoLu. The Milwaukee Tool Shed Band is performing their annual ALS Fundraising event Thursday night. Last year was absolutely magical. Their show will be from 5:00-8:00.
