The longtime hub of Milwaukee’s gay community, this neighborhood is now also a hotbed of foodie activity with an industrial edge. You’ll find some of the city’s best LGBTQ bars and nightclubs alongside award-winning restaurants and locally-made artisan food products. Many of the neighborhood’s bars and restaurants are focused along Second Street, but Fifth Street is quickly becoming another hotspot for the area.

Social Distancing & Making Plans
I would make reservations since hours are constantly changing due to COVID and there are capacity limitations in place for social distancing purposes.
