A Blufftop Favorite Since 1915

To get there, follow Main Street east as it turns into Bliss Road and winds its way up to Grandad Bluff Park. The drive comes with beautiful views, and a little local history awaits at the top!
The Alpine Inn began as a family wine garden associated with the Isler family’s home. Over the years, it grew into a neighborhood gathering spot, adding beer and liquor licenses along the way. Although the building has seen several remodels, this small but beloved landmark remains a special part of La Crosse’s history.
Today, the Alpine Inn serves up classic bar favorites and daily specials. Stop in for juicy burgers, homemade fries, comforting soups, pizza and a Bloody Mary worth raising a glass to. Whether you’re winding down after exploring the bluffs or meeting friends for a casual bite, the Alpine Inn offers a taste of local history alongside familiar favorites.
