Where is the Best Live Music Venue in Milwaukee, Wisconsin?
I am originally from Milwaukee and have enjoyed Summerfest for years. The Milwaukee area is under rated. I get back to Milwaukee three times a year and always look forward to all the new attractions and busnisess that are sprouting up in the area. Milwaukee you have alot going for you wish Connecticut would get on track.Pros + inexpensive, beautiful area, alot of entertainmentCons – crowded, traffic
They book some good acts and you can experience some real crowd energy here sometimes but the way they pack in the crowd brings out the worst in peopleNever had any problems with the staff, they’ve always been decent if you don’t give them an attitude, although some of the bartenders are off in their own little world sometimes. To park in their lot they want $25. Don’t do it. There are private side lots a block away for $10. Safe? Don’t wander drunkenly down dark side streets after the show lets out at midnight and you’ll be fine. If you want beer, they ask $7.50 for a small plastic cup. Outrageous but I guess it keeps the drunk population down. Which is good because they oversell and pack people in like sardines here. Be prepared for a lot of shoving/posturing/whining from idiots who think they should be able to see the band clearly from the back of the room. At least since there’s no assigned seating you can always go to another part of the hall if you are surrounded by obnoxious
