The story of Shack II is a curious one. Located in the former Gus's Bar (1973-1976,) Shack II was a satellite location of the famous Shack (1972-1985) in Kenosha County. However, it seems to have been the continuation of an earlier bar across the street. This location was known as either "Larry & Dave's" and/or "Larry & Ev's." The original location is now a parking lot for Wells Brothers Pizza. We welcome any available information about this location.
