Are you trying to decide which bars on Lake Geneva to visit when you arrive in the city? No need to worry, you just need to have a good guide so you can weed out the bars that are not worth visiting.

I can help because I have frequented Lake Geneva bars for over 20 years. I have seen them all. Some establishments stand out from the others for certain qualities they possess.

Here are some criteria I look for when determining the best Lake Geneva bars:

  • Atmosphere
  • drink selections
  • Drink Prices/Specials
  • food menu options
  • Customer service

All of these factors must be present to be considered the best. To be honest, for most establishments, this is a daunting task. For one reason or another, combining all these qualities is difficult for so many establishments. However, there are some taverns that outperform the others when it comes to these factors.

Of course, where you want to go depends largely on your preferences. Many of the bars have very different personalities and you can definitely find something to suit your desires.

If you’re looking for a bar in the Geneva Lakes area that can provide you with a friendly atmosphere, while providing great drinks, food and service, look no further than Harpoon Willies.

Located on Williams Bay, Harpoon Willies (or Poons, as the locals call it) combines great drinks, food, atmosphere, and service and is the friendliest bar around the lake. It also has a large screened porch overlooking beautiful Lake Geneva.

Owned and operated by the LaCorix family, Harpoon Willies combines small-town customer service with the quality and atmosphere you’d love to find anywhere. 5 flat screen HDTVs make watching your favorite team fun and easy.
