GEM City Saloon

Historical class and amazing pizza are a hidden "gem" behind the doors of this corner saloon! The entrance is right on the corner of Ash and Water; you'd never realize how beautiful and deceptively large this place is from the outside! You're in for quick service with a fun, lighthearted and personable staff and you won't find yourself waiting for your drinks and incredible food. The pizza is a whole different kind of special-I'm not usually into deep dish but the ingredients are fresh and seasoned to perfection, incredible meat toppings. A medium size could easily be great for 4-6 people at a reasonable price for the thickness you're receiving. Lovely selection of liquor and beer.Gem City is a fantastic place to watch a game; there are Flat-screens throughout, as well as a large projector screen in the center room to make sure everyone can see the action! The ceiling is incredible high and takes away the claustrophobic atmosphere some bars and restaurant have, but still feels intimate as the beautiful interior woodwork throughout is a testimony to a timeless era of Baraboo. There are gorgeous intricate stained glass lights above a classic vintage bar, above the large middle room and lovely matching sconces throughout the back area as well, which also features a pool table. There are bar table/chairs throughout as well as a few booths upon entering. You can play darts, pool or even use the touch tunes digital music player, which is an awesome feature! They keep their whole establishment clean, including the restrooms. I'd say the only con is limited parking, but not a big issue.Bonus; we couldn't get a babysitter and brought our 18mo in and they were very accommodating. There were high chairs and the staff were so cheerful and kind with our daughter. She enjoyed her time as well!I highly recommend Gem for their historic atmosphere, delicious food, quick and fun service! Great for a group night out or a date.

Exactly as advertised. Saw some pictures of their pizza and had to try it for ourselves. Venue is a little hard to find, signage is not bold and you have to keep your eyes open. Place is warm and friendly. It's a large place, big enough for a big crowd. Another couple preceded us by a few minutes. They ordered the large combo and we were blown away by the size of the pie. It was square and HUGE ! We ordered the small and it was plenty big for us. We took half of it home. Pizza was thick crust, it was more bread like than we expected, but it was good. Modest tomato sauce for a base and plenty of cheese, and then a ton of veggies piled high. Large slabs of sausage adorned each piece, two of them per slice. Honestly, I haven't experienced a pizza like this since my days at Gulliver's in Chicago many, many years ago.Highly recommend without any reservations. Wait staff was great. Attentive service and friendly smile.

Best pizza ever huge chunks of sausage!! And staff super awesome will definitely be back.

Some of the best Detroit style pizza ever! Ordered it Togo and they didn't put any Parm or red pepper packets in the bag other then that zero complaints

Pizza is awesome. Pizza is packed. Fresh mushrooms, great sausage and wonderful cheese. Maybe would like a bit more sauce. Will ask forMore next time. Service is always excellent. Only problem is pizza is so good I don't think I can order anything else when I eat there!!!! Will always stop in when visiting The Dells area.

Found this place for lunch yesterday while I was in Baraboo. Figured I'd stop based on some pizza photos I'd seen on Yelp. Sat at the bar where I was greeted by a friendly bartender. Restaurant was inviting, bathrooms were clean. Met the owner Gary who was proud of his menu and restaurant I ordered a thin crust pizza (the pan style is standard) with sausage, onion, and black olive. My only regret is that I failed to snap a photo! Crispy crust that held all of the toppings and the sausage pieces were huge and tasty.I will recommend this place to everyone I speak to in the area and I'm looking forward to my return.

A fantastic & surprise experience from the moment we walked in. GEM City Saloon doesn't look like much from the outside, and when you walk in it's looks like many other bar / tavern's in Wisconsin. What sets this place apart is its food and down to earth, friendly employees. I stopped in with my mom after watching the fall colors in the Baraboo / Devils Lake area. My mom is 80yrs old. We shared an appetizer of fried green bean, they were super hot & tasty and the side of ranch dressing was spot on. My mom ordered the Chicago style hotdog and raved about it. I had the prime rib sandwich that was topped with melted cheese and grilled onions & mushrooms. It was delicious! I only ate half of the sandwich because I'm watching my diet portions. Both of our orders came with homemade French Fries, they were great as well. When I got home the leftovers never got to the refrigerator, my teenage sons gobbled it all down. I'm heading back next weekend with my two sons because I know that they well love this place. If you have a chance, please try this hidden GEM City Saloon out!

Fantastic pizza. Friendly service. Reasonable price. Good place to watch sports. Doesn't get better.

Food was great, i got the Gem burger and was cooker perfectly with a side of tater tots and a mich ultra. Very nice

Food and service were top notch! A must stop if you are in the Baraboo area. I will definitely be back. Spinach artichoke dip and pizza were very tasty!
