Milwaukee Nightlife - Milwaukee Gay Bars
|
|
The gay scene in Milwaukee is primarily situated around two neighborhoods, the Historic Thrid Ward and Walkers Point. Dozens of old warehouses in Historic Third Ward have been converted into amazing lofts, art galleries, chic cafes and stunning lounges. Walker's Point serves as one of the main gay residential areas in the city, and hosts the majority of gay nightlife hotspots that range from mellow dive bars to full-scale nightclubs. Though Milwaukee has a thriving GLBT scene, the gay bars are anything but single-sexed. Diverse crowds flow in and out of the designated gay bars in Milwaukee, primarily because they are some of the most enjoyable destinations around. Neighborhood bars like Woody's cast the idea of the glittering nightclub aside in favor of the Cheers ambiance, whereas the always popular Cage is a vibrant dance spot filled with martinis, neon lights and six fully stocked bars.
Woody's
1579 S. 2nd St., Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Tel. 414.672.0806
Woody's is a friendly neighborhood gay bar located in the heart of the Walker's Point area of Milwaukee. The DJs spin low-key trance music and patrons often take part in the NTN trivia game, which keeps things lively. Bartenders are known for being friendly and helpful, so don't hesitate to let them mix you a favorite drink or recommend one you've never tried. TVs around the bar play sporting events and the huge 56-inch screen in the back bar always has the big game. This is definitely one of Milwaukee's best gay bars to relax with friends, take part in trivia games or watch games on TV. |
Cage
801 S. 2nd St., Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Tel. 414.383.8330
Cage is one of the biggest and best gay dance clubs in the Walker's Point area of Milwaukee. Multiple levels and six bars offer patrons several different areas for hanging out, drinking and dancing. This newly remodeled club features a huge main dance floor, complete with a hanging cage. The upscale restaurant downstairs provides patrons with a dining option without straying far from this Milwaukee hotspot. When in the mood to dance all night in an LGBT friendly environment, Cage is definitely the place to be. |
Fluid
819 S. 2nd St., Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Tel. 414.643.5843
Fluid is yet another gay bar in the heart of the Walker's Point area of Milwaukee. This is the best place in Milwaukee to watch the Packers for those who enjoy a strong buzz during the game—doors open an hour before kickoff and patrons get a free shot with every Packer touchdown. Drink specials are featured every night of the week, including the Tuesday through Friday 2-4-1 happy hour (buy two for the price of one). Bottled and draught beers compliment a full list of martinis and signature cocktails—it's called Fluid for a reason. |
