Wed., June 25, 2014 VACATION WEEK Page 21 Land O’ Lakes SERENITY AT THE TOP OF WISCONSIN Great food, lake view can be found at Club 45 If you are looking for a great lake view, casual and family friendly dining, Club 45 is the place to be. Located on Denton Lake in Conover, Club 45 Sports Bar and Grill has become the destination of choice for those who want to enjoy good food and drinks at affordable prices. Owners Dave and Jen Payne started looking to move “Up North” while on vacation in 1998. Once they saw Club 45, they knew it was the right location. “I always tell people that we took a chance on owning a bar and restaurant, but if we never tried we would always regret it, and we are still here almost 15 years later,” said Jen Payne. Now the Paynes are raising their three children and continuing to expand their business. Club 45, nicknamed “The House of Payne” features many items on the menu including the popular white cheese curds, chargrilled burgers, Italian beef and thin crust and Chicago-style deep-dish pizza. They also feature an 18-item salad bar on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings. “We use romaine lettuce and spinach and try to pick interesting, fresh toppings. Also, all of our dressings are homemade,” said Jen Payne. Club 45 features daily food specials. Monday is the Italian beef sandwich with fries for $5, Wednesday is pizza night where you can get a 12-inch thin crust for $10 and a 16-inch thin crust for $15. Thursday is the gyro sandwich with fries, homemade meatball and red sauce with pasta for $5 and salad bar. Friday features a beerbattered cod fish fry with coleslaw and choice of potato starting at $6. Grilled salmon, soup and a salad bar also are available. Satur
