Our Story

The Mill Yard stands as a prominent establishment in Wausau, Wisconsin, celebrated for its status as a premier bar and grill. We've become renowned for our daily drink and food specials, a beloved tradition of Fish Fry Fridays, and our irresistible Broasted Chicken. What sets us apart is not just our culinary delights but also our owner's unique journey. Matt, our dedicated owner, spent his college years immersed in the world of bars, serving, bartending, and managing. However, his original career path led him into healthcare, where he devoted more than two decades to nursing. In 2021, Matt ventured back into the bar industry, acquiring Matt's 101 Pub and discovering immense success. Inspired by his passion for serving and helping people, Matt expanded his vision in 2023 with the acquisition of the Mill Yard, further enhancing the vibrant atmosphere of the Wausau community. Here at the Mill Yard, we bring together the best of both worlds, offering exceptional hospitality and delicious cuisine, all fueled by Matt's unwavering passion for making people's experiences memorable.

The goal of our establishment is to create a welcoming and unforgettable experience for our patrons. We strive to be a place where people can come together, unwind, and savor delicious food and drinks in a friendly and vibrant atmosphere. Our commitment extends beyond serving great cuisine; we aim to build a sense of community, where laughter, good conversation, and memorable moments flourish.

We're dedicated to keeping the good times rolling seven days a week. Plus, for those looking to host their own events or parties, we offer a free event space with advance notice and scheduling. Sports enthusiasts will find a home here as we host lively Packer parties during football season and Brewer parties to celebrate our beloved baseball team. Our commitment to our customers shines through in our diverse range of specials, available daily, weekly, monthly, and tied to major sporting events. With our fun country bar atmosphere, exceptional food, and enthusiastic staff, we've built a community of satisfied customers who keep coming back for more.

Stopped on our way home from Northern Wisconsin. The food was very good. A chicken wrap and Italian beef sandwich. Very personable staff. Went out of her way to get us something to put our leftovers in so we could squeeze them into our cooler.

On 7/18/2026 Sashe Trzebiatowski had this to say:
Love this place! So close to Wausau but has a small-town feel. Owner checked in on us personally and the fish fry was one of the best I've ever had in Wisconsin.

On 7/15/2026 Carrie Lindsey had this to say:
What a great place. Traveling on business and the online reviews led us here. The burger and sandwich were amazing and the homemade fries were delicious! Great service as well!
