- DFDon FolzDec 28, 20254.0A downtown landmark where the Milwaukee Press Club’s spirited history lives on. You’ll find yourself surrounded by a legendary gallery of autographs, each a friendly nod from the famous figures who once shared a drink in this very room.
- GGGraceDOct 27, 20255.0We found this place after walking away from our hotel that has a loud annoying bar. So we saw this place and couldn't resist to get in. It was quiet not a lot of people which was on our benefit because we met the lovely bartender, he was such a nice human to meet. We had a great conversation with him but the place has this old and unique place all the signatures the poor desiccated cat. The iron work on the place also fantastic. Recommend that you stop by and enjoy a drink but also the history and decor of the place.
