The Plush Horse Lounge holds a cherished spot in Burlington, Wisconsin’s history. Originally situated within the Hotel Burlington on North Pine Street, this establishment was a central hub of social activity from the 1950s through the early 1970s. ​

In 1968, the lounge marked the end of an era with a “Memories Night,” a farewell event before undergoing renovations. Following the passing of the hotel’s proprietor, the Plush Horse Lounge ceased operations. The space later became home to Charley Brown’s Lounge, continuing the tradition of hospitality at that location. ​

The legacy of the Plush Horse Lounge remains a significant chapter in Burlington’s rich tapestry, reflecting the community’s evolving social scene over the decades.
