Shakers Milwaukee

05/30/2026

Milwaukee in the summer has a way of slowing time. ☀️

Sunlight settles across the tables.
A breeze moves through the veranda.
Ice clinks softly in a glass while conversations drift without anywhere else they need to be.

The city feels lighter this time of year.

Boats crossing the river.
Patios filling.
Long evenings stretching a little farther into the night.

And here, tucked inside one of Milwaukee’s most historic buildings, the afternoon unfolds the way it always has—good food, proper cocktails, and the feeling that there’s nowhere else you need to be.

The veranda is open.

Join us.

Sunday at 1 PM 🥂

Before Milwaukee became the city we know today, Walker’s Point was home to brothels, speakeasies, madams, gangsters, and a nightlife that rarely made it into the history books.

The Whorin’ 20s Walking Tour takes you back into that world.

Not through legends or rumors—but through the real people, places, scandals, and stories that shaped Milwaukee’s Prohibition-era underworld.

Equal parts fascinating, shocking, entertaining, and unforgettable.

Perfect for history lovers, curious locals, visitors, and one of the Midwest’s favorite bachelorette experiences.

✨ Bride goes free with group reservations.

Join us this Sunday at 1 PM.

“Tell me a story.”

As part of our 40 Years of Shakers conversation series, Bob Weiss sits down with Anna Warren of Tactile Craftworks, a Milwaukee-based woman-owned company creating handcrafted leather goods carried by retailers across the country.

Their conversation explores entrepreneurship, craftsmanship, building a business with intention, and the value of creating products designed to last.

Part of our ongoing effort to highlight the people, makers, and businesses helping shape Milwaukee.

One of Milwaukee’s best-kept secrets sits above Shakers. 🌇

A tri-level rooftop overlooking the city—still the only one of its kind in Milwaukee.

Three levels.
Multiple perspectives.
Endless conversation.

A place to watch the sun settle over the skyline with a cocktail in hand and nowhere else you need to be.

Hidden above one of Milwaukee’s most historic buildings, it’s been quietly hosting celebrations, first dates, reunions, private events, and unforgettable summer nights for decades.

Most people walk right past it.

The lucky ones find their way up.

📍 Milwaukee’s only tri-level rooftop

Friday night at Shakers 🌙

The glow of the old speakeasy returns.

Candles flicker against brick walls that have witnessed generations of stories. Cocktails move across the bar. Fresh seafood arrives from the kitchen. The veranda fills with conversation as Milwaukee settles into another summer weekend.

For 40 years, people have come here looking for something more than a night out.

A place with history.
A place with atmosphere.
A place where the evening tends to unfold on its own.

Every city has its official history.

Then there’s the history that happened behind closed doors.

Beginning this summer, the Mobsters & Mafia Tour takes guests into Milwaukee’s criminal underworld—exploring the bootleggers, gambling operations, organized crime figures, and power brokers who helped shape the city from the shadows.

Join us Sundays at 3 PM.

Make a day of it with the Whorin’ 20s Tour at 1 PM, then continue into the world of mobsters, rackets, corruption, and the characters who operated just beyond public view.

History is rarely as clean as it seems.
