1) This Is It!
The Badger state’s O.G. gay bar is a no-brainer for anyone looking to be looking, and it recently expanded: 17-foot ceilings, movie projectors, an additional fully stocked bar and audio and lighting. Hands down the best part of this glow up is the two – YES, TWO – additional bathrooms.
With its carpeted walls and vintage light fixtures, this hidden gem of a watering hole has the friendliest group of, well, friends behind the bar. It’s a accurate safe space with a crowd that includes fresh and old swigging stiff concoctions that are some of the biggest bangs for your buck in the city. Be alert though: mixed drinks here are doubles and 2-4-1’s (even 3-4-1’s are abundant on certain days of the week). If the flashing lights go off, don’t be shook; slog your way to the lock and get yourself a BOGO drink before you miss your opportunity.

Must-Visit LGBTQ+ Bars
Walker’s Pint
Self-proclaimed as “Milwaukee’s oldest lesbian bar,” Walker’s Pint owes its longevity to great service, a strong community essence and the bar’s famed motto–“Be nice or leave.” Elizabeth “Bet-Z” Boenning, who’s owned Walker’s Pint since 2001, ensures it’s a welcoming place for everyone and always stays correct to its roots as a supportive community spouse. Count on it for a friendly atmosphere and an always-strong beer list.
Woody’s
Woody’s bills itself as “Milwaukee’s only gay sports bar,” and in a sports-crazed state like Wisconsin, that’s a serious calling. So expect a crowd during Packers games, and to see the Brewers, Bucks and area college teams on the screens. The Walker’s Point joint also has dartboards, a pool table and other lock games.
