Shakers Cigar Bar & Speakeasy

09/13/2026

This note was left behind on a beverage napkin at the Back Bar...
"Spent the grocery money and half of my rent payment....I'm shy $ 14 dollars and .47 cents after an evening of drinking Absinthe & Ch*****ne and eating Oysters here at your Bar, I will be back soon"...

Still only 90 miles from Chicago at 422 S 2nd St, in the former warehouse district of Milwaukee.
Shakers is much more than just a bar in an American City, and it is easy to get sucked into the vortex. We fully understand that
sometimes the Muse just takes control. Cheers

For decades, Shakers Cigar Bar, is one of the most unique restaurants and nightlife destinations in Milwaukee Wisconsin. Features high-quality fare, libations, brothel-turned-Airbnb, live music, unique events, and a very haunted location. Once you visit, you'll never forget it.

Shakers Cigar Bar and their rooftop are a great spot to check out this holiday weekend. If you’re staying in Milwaukee for the long weekend, Shakers has plenty for you. You can start with dinner and a proper cocktail, then head out on one of their famous ghost and true tours to learn some of Milwaukee’s darker stories. Then escape upstairs to our three-level rooftop with relaxing views of the city.

Friday night, Shakers Cigar Bar & Speakeasy is going tropical with an Endless Summer Hawaiian Tiki Lūʻau – a rooftop feast of Tiki Boat Drinks and an impressive amount of Hawaiian food and yes, wild boar. Cocktails at 6pm, dinner at 7pm.

Ready for a drop of the Good Stuff?
We've got it and in spades.
Join the cool cats at one of the Authentic 1920's Capone Speakeasy's in Milwaukee....not the imitation fabricated pseudo-Speaks run by Johnny Law in disguise.

When you make your way up the staircase to the Rooftop Bars, you tread on the same stairs and bill of fare where bartenders and Bouncers were once heard, exclaiming, "mothers, do you know where your daughters are?
Learn teh story of 19 year old Molly Brennan who met her fate as an "A Girl" in the Brothel Penthouse.

Relive the magic of the Prohibition with ample amounts of liquid gold to hellp you forget what unhappy mood waits for you at home. Cheers

Shakers remains 90 miles from Chi-town at 422 S 2nd St. in bucolic Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Moth Lore and the Paranormal...
often identified as a sign of impending death, or of a Fatal Attraction.

For those of you who have followed along with me on the journey of Shakers and piercing the Paranormal veil....I have commented several times on the presence of a Moth on our CCTV cameras.

More often than one it is a brilliant White Moth which is seen either on the main Cellar Camera, or filmed bu the locked door behind the Unopened Safe...or lingering on the double doors for the Speakeasy.

Great passages of time tick past between sightings, here at Milwaukee's Haunted Bar.

Last night while sitting w Engineer Jo, smoking Ci**rs and discussing the 40th Anniversary Party...
a burgundy red Moth circled around me for almost an hour while we sat on the front Verandah.

The Moth wanted nothing to do with Jo, but certainly couldn't get enough of me...I'd prefer to think that the pheromones I was giving off were the cause of the Moth's visit and not the calamity of grave misfortune and finality.

In either regard, I welcome these encounters with nature and as we are quickly approaching Halloween, I expect to bear witness to many other "natural Phenomena" at Shakers.

Live your own Ghost Tales and enjoy teh Vibe at Shakers this season. Cheers.
