Wilderness Resort Pool Bar

The Wilderness Resort Swim-Up Bar | 2014 ABC of Wisconsin Gold Project of Distinction Award | Friede & Associates

Project Scope: Swim-up bar and pool facility
Location: Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin
Designer: Architectural Design Consultants, Inc.

Located in the Wild WaterDome at the Wilderness Resort, Margarita’s Swim-Up Bar is an adults-only, full-service bar that features a warming atmosphere with a tropical feel.

Half of the swim-up bar is located in the pool, where guests can literally swim up and order their drinks. The other half of the bar is outside of the water, which makes it easy to visit if visitors want to stay dry. One interesting feature is that the bar pool is both indoor and outdoor. If swimmers are up for a challenge, they can swim through the heated pool to the outdoor area in the wintertime and experience a unique sensation as the cold air surrounds them.

This project was recognized by the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) of Wisconsin as a 2014 Gold Project of Distinction.
