Wanderoos Bar in western Wisconsin burns
Flames engulfed a popular bar and restaurant west of Amery, Wis., this morning, with several area fire crews from western Wisconsin responding to the scene.
UW Wanderoos Bar and Grill, a popular haunt in the unincorporated town of Wanderoos, was reportedly fully engulfed by flames, with fire crews still working to secure the scene Wednesday morning. A backhoe was reportedly brought in to help demolish the smoldering structure.
The Wanderoos community sits between Amery and Osceola, Wis.
The bar and restaurant, located on the 1600 block of 70th Avenue once served as a country school house. According to a 2023 Amery Free Press article, the closed school first became a restaurant and bar in 1979 when it opened as “Enterprise Bar.”
A potential cause has not been released at this time.
The Pioneer Press is awaiting additional information from emergency personnel at the scene.
