A night out in Plymouth can stay on one street. The bars in Plymouth line up along Mill Street downtown, from a pinball hall at 101 East to a brewery taproom at 222 East and a run of taverns in the 400 block, and the city's distillery pours cocktails on Eastern Avenue about a third of a mile east.
Beyond town, the county roads have their own taverns: grill-bars with pool tables, game-day TVs and a fish plate. Several of these taverns also cook, and their perch, ribs and prime rib belong with the restaurants in Plymouth.

Distances below are straight-line from downtown, measured from each listing's map pin.
Mill Street, block by block
Mill Street is walkable end to end: Plymouth Tap at 101 East Mill and Brown Bottle at 401 East Mill are about 0.2 mile apart. Park once and walk.
A few doors east is where the old-school taverns start. Cozy Bar at 116 East Mill is a plain stop-in-for-a-drink bar, and its listing mentions Bloody Marys.
Further along, at 228 East Mill, is a tavern that takes its beer list seriously.
In the 400 block the taverns sit almost side by side. Brown Bottle at 401 East Mill opens early and closes late by its listing: it opens at 9 a.m. on weekends and closes at 2 a.m. Monday to Thursday and 2:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, with an 8 p.m. close on Sunday.
A few doors east, Wild Shots Pub at 423 East Mill pairs its drinks with Wisconsin tavern food, from patty melts and garlic cheese curds to its Wild Shots burger and waffle fries. It is closed on Mondays. In between, DeO's at 417 East Mill is the pizza stop if the group wants to eat before the next round.
Two of the Mill Street restaurants also have bars worth knowing. Big Billy's BBQ at 437 East Mill has a bar area beside its smokehouse menu and is closed on Tuesdays, and Pacifico Mexican Bar and Grill at 506 East Mill opens at 11 a.m. every day.
A brewery taproom and a distillery
Plymouth makes its own beer and its own spirits, and both have a room to drink them in.
Beer goes home in 64-ounce growlers, 32-ounce crowlers and, for some styles, cans. That makes the taproom a sensible last stop before a night in a rental or a campsite.
The distillery is a short walk east, on Eastern Avenue.
Its listing says the cocktails often feature local ingredients, so ask what is being mixed that week.
Turner Hall and live music
For a drink with a band, head about 0.2 mile north of downtown to Elizabeth Street.
The listing does not post a schedule, so call the bar to find out who is playing.
Sports bars and game nights
Plymouth has two kinds of sports bar: a downtown room for the game and a county-road hall for the whole evening. Downtown, Antonio's Sports Bar & Grille on West Mill Street serves bar food and has a banquet hall, and its listing says it is known for its Bloody Marys.
Its Travel Wisconsin listing, which is undated, mentions five TVs in the main bar and decks outside, and Friday fish dinners of perch, cod or walleye (call to confirm before you go).
North of town on Highway 67, JAAAGZ Bar and Grill, about 2.8 miles from downtown, pours beer and makes Old Fashioneds alongside a bluegill fish fry and broasted chicken.
Taverns out on the county roads
The county-road taverns sit north and east of town, some near the lakes and the track.
Keller's Valley Inn on Valley Lane, about 2.4 miles northwest, is a tavern where the listing invites you in for drinks and a game. It is closed on Mondays and open Tuesday through Sunday.
Lakehouse Bar and Grill on County Road C, about 4.5 miles northwest, sits about 0.3 mile from the Crystal Lake boat launch, so it suits a drink after a day on the water. Its listing singles out Monday wings, with the sauce served on the side.
East of town, two more grill-bars sit on the roads toward Sheboygan. Roadside Bar & Grill on Highway 57, about 2 miles east, opens for breakfast and serves seven days a week, and Roots Bar & Grill on County Road C, about 4.6 miles east, has a selection of tap beers to go with its prime rib.
Bars near Road America
On a race weekend, the bars near the track are north of town, not on Mill Street. Nap's Place is about 0.9 mile west of Road America, JAAAGZ is about 1.2 miles southeast and the Lakehouse is about 1.5 miles west.
Rumors Roadhouse BBQ on Summit Road, about 1.1 miles northwest of the track, is a bar and grill with brisket, pulled pork and ribs, and an event space for groups.
If you are sleeping downtown instead, Plymouth Suites is about a quarter mile from the brewery taproom, and the rest of the rooms in town are in the Plymouth hotels.
Before you go
Hours in this guide come from each bar's listing, and small-town taverns change them, so call ahead on a weeknight. Several of the taverns close one weekday: Wild Shots and Keller's on Mondays, Big Billy's on Tuesdays. Fish fry is common across these bars, but the days and the fish change, so ask before you drive out for it.
The county-road taverns are between about 2 and 4.6 miles from downtown, so plan a ride home before you set out. By day, the cheese arch and the arts center are part of a weekend in Plymouth.
