The North Shore American Legion Post 331
is located at 4121 N Wilson Dr, the last building on the west side of Wilson Dr, as you head North.
Their website has this to say::
"Since August 9, 1935 the North Shore Post 331 has been serving the Veterans and the residents of Shorewood, Whitefish Bay, Fox Point and the near North Shore area. Our Post, Marches in the 4th of July Parade, holds Memorial Day Services at Atwater Beach, sends students from Shorewood High School Badger Boys State and is active in many other Charitable functions."
In addition to their many veteran advocacy and charitable activities, they also operate a tavern on the lower level, which serves as the closest thing to a neighborhood watering hole we have in this part of Shorewood. The Post registers only at the periphery of most people's consciousness as they hurtle down Wilson Drive between point A and point B.
But those who stop in will be rewarded. The Post serves a terrific fish fry on Fridays, and $1.25 tacos on Wednesdays. The wait staff is friendly, and the beer is inexpensive and in plentiful variety. Odds are good you will find veterans of many of our Nation's wars gathered around the bar enjoying the ruthless humor that is a trademark of military men and women. If you are looking for a local landmark with a personality all its own, the Legion Post will fit the bill.
