About the Business

The Zone is a lively sports bar and grill conveniently located on WI-21 in Sparta, just a short drive from Fort McCoy. Proudly claiming the title of “the only true sports bar in Monroe County,” this spacious venue is a favorite for locals and visitors alike. Whether you’re coming in with a small group of friends or an entire youth hockey team, the energetic and accommodating staff—including the highly praised owner, Terry—ensure a comfortable and fun experience. The crowd is diverse, and the service is consistently rated as top-notch, with bartenders receiving frequent shout-outs for their fast and friendly attention.

The interior is massive, featuring comfortable seating at the bar, plenty of dining tables, and tons of cool sports memorabilia covering the walls. If you are looking for entertainment, the venue is packed with activities, including pool tables, darts, slot machines, and cornhole.

Additionally, the venue offers excellent private event spaces, making it a great place to host gatherings while still enjoying full food and drink service from the main bar.
