  • Just wanted to take some time to thank you for the amazing experience my husband and I had at the Bucyrus Club. My husband still talks about the salad and how full he was after the facxt (kudos Mark). I still talk about the perfectly fried cod and the one piece I savored and brought home for a late night snack (kudos Connor). Ernie, the drinks were amazing. Elyse (and Megan) anytime someone gets my husband to talk in their first meeting I count that as a win! Overall I was extremely pleased with the service, the ambiance, the attention to detail and, of course, the tour of the building highlighting all of the unique activities that can be done at at the club. I am already looking at our calendar to see if we can squeeze one more fish fry in for the year, but if not I look forward to one of yoru special chef dinners. Oh and last thing, the creme brulee is to die for!!!!!

  • This is a fabulous event venue, fit for any events. Three days ago we had our second annual Christmas Party, and it was such an exquisite setting. The guest was delighted with the fabulous custom menu prepared by their in-house catering team. The serving staff were swift, and friendly. I’m looking forward to next year 2025, for our third year Christmas Party.

  • If you’re looking for a place with a great atmosphere, delicious food, and a variety of appetizers to satisfy our cravings. Bucyrus Club is a hidden gem worth considering. The reunion was nothing short of extraordinary. The banquet hall itself was spacious, accommodating our large group of 190 with ease. The staff was attentive and welcoming, ensuring that each and every one of us felt valued and appreciated.
    Our menu included fresh garden salad, seasonal fruits, bourbon glazed chicken breasts, sirloin tips with mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, fresh vegetable blend and dessert. Everything was fantastic. Thank you for an experience; the Class of ’74 will be returning for our 60th reunion.

  • We held the luncheon after our baby’s baptism at the Bucyrus Club last weekend and we can’t say enough nice things about the food, the staff, and the venue. Our guests have been raving about the experience for the last week. Throughout the planning process, the staff was incredibly accommodating and quick to respond to our inquiries. If you’re looking for a fashionable, yet reasonably priced spot with delicious food for your next event, I highly recommend the Bucyrus Club.

  • I couldn’t recommend the Bucyrus Club enough for anyone getting married in the MKE area! The venue was very quick to answer all of my questions as we were deciding to book, and all the way up until wedding day they were incredibly accommodating and easy to work with. They took the stress our of wedding planning! On top of it all, the venue is gorgeous and the food is delicious. Our guests can’t stop talking about how great the location was and everyone had a great time, especially my husband and I! We’re forever grateful to the team for bringing our dream wedding to life!

  • Delicious (and obviously freshly prepared) egg salad sandwich, made to order. The dine-in area has attractive modern decor but is also cozy and inviting. Service was very fast and friendly!

Award-Winning Restoration

History flows throughout our beautifully appointed venue. The shovels that dug the Panama Canal were built here. Later, as the Employee Club, it hosted the extended Bucyrus family for generations of employee lunches, special events and community gatherings. The building reopened in 2021, completely renovated by CG Schmidt, with an award-winning design by Zimmerman Architectural Studios, and boasting an authentic story that comes through at every turn, from the original Cream City brick and woodworking to its local historical displays and the Bucyrus Museum upstairs.
