Not everything at Dawn Manor is out in plain sight. For those in the know — or those curious enough to take a look around — there’s something special waiting for you just downstairs.

Welcome to Uphoff’s Rotunda, a sophisticated speakeasy located on the ground level of Dawn Manor. Come in for a cocktail before dinner, linger a little longer after dessert, or join us for the best happy hour in Wisconsin Dells — whatever the occasion, Uphoff’s Rotunda offers an atmosphere that’s timeless, refined, and quietly unforgettable.

Hidden in Plain Sight

No flashing signs or velvet ropes lead guests to Uphoff’s Rotunda; the charm of our speakeasy lies in its subtlety. It’s the kind of place you hear about from a friend (or from a blog). A low-lit lounge with a vintage vibe, where the spirits are strong, the conversation is easy, and the mood is just right.

Located just downstairs from Dawn Manor’s main floor, Uphoff’s Rotunda is one of the most laid-back yet luxurious bars in Wisconsin Dells. Our stylish speakeasy draws in locals and visitors alike for craft cocktails, an exceptional wine list, a tasty weekday Wisconsin Dells happy hour, and a little grown-up gratification.

Cocktails with Character

Uphoff’s Rotunda’s beverage menu offers classic and craft cocktails — all rooted in tradition and made with Dawn Manor’s modern touch. Our incredible bar staff takes their craft (but not themselves!) seriously, using fresh ingredients and local spirits, blending house syrups and tinctures, and shaking and stirring each drink with intention.

Looking to put a little pep in your step? Order a Tattersall Espresso Martini, a rich, lively, silky blend of vodka, espresso, cinnamon, and molasses. Prefer something timeless and spirit-forward? Dawn Manor’s Vieux Carre brings together rye, apple brandy, bitters, and rosemary for a bold, boozy, and balanced blend. Looking to lighten the mood? Try the Paloma Fresa, a spirited summer-anytime sipper with blanco tequila, strawberry, and grapefruit liqueur. Or, keep it fresh with a classic Manor Mule, featuring local vodka, zesty ginger beer, and housemade lime sour.

The drink menu at our Wisconsin Dells bar may rotate seasonally, but our standards will always be high, and our pours will never be stingy.

Wind Down in the Wine Cave

Just beyond the speakeasy’s horseshoe-shaped bar, you’ll find yet another hidden treasure: Dawn Manor’s Wine Cave. This luxurious private space is perfect for wine tastings, birthday dinners, milestone celebrations, and other small gatherings for groups of up to 10. Reach out to our events team to learn more about booking the Wine Cave for special occasions in Wisconsin Dells.

Wine enthusiasts will adore Dawn Manor’s curated collection, showcasing fine wines from California to New Zealand, France to Wisconsin. Whether you’re a casual sipper or a wine collector in the making, the wine list at Uphoff’s Rotunda is full of delights and surprises.
