Shakers Milwaukee

Shakers Milwaukee Welcome Home! We've been Shakin' your world since 1986 when we came home to shake up the local food and beverage scene. Cheers. Still only 90 miles from Chicago.

Shakers emerged with the bold mission to "shakeup the local culinary and beverage scene" by offering an array of global cuisine within the walls of this exquisite 1894 establishment, once home to the notorious Al Capone's Speakeasy & Brothel. Award-winning worldly foods, vintage wines and Brown Spirits to accompany Cigars in a former speak-easy and Brothel once owned by Capone. Unique vibe in an historic building with talented staff.

Paradise is officially set. 🌺🍹

The rooftop is ready, the tables are set, the Tiki drinks are waiting and An Endless-Summer’s Night Eve is about to begin.

Milwaukee gave us a storm this morning, but you know what they say about Shakers — the spirits usually cooperate. 👻☀️

🍹 Cocktails at 6 PM
🌴 Hawaiian feast at 7 PM
🌺 One very tropical night above Milwaukee

The leis are out. The boar is cooking. Let’s lu’au.

Still only 90 miles north of Chicago and a scant 6,422 miles east of paradise. 🌴

A long weekend deserves a longer night. 🍸👻

Labor Day Weekend has arrived, and we see absolutely no reason to behave like it’s an ordinary Friday.

Start with dinner and a proper cocktail. Take a Hangman Tour and acquaint yourself with Milwaukee’s ghosts, true crime, scandals, and assorted dearly departed.

Then, weather permitting, make your way upstairs to our three-level rooftop, order another round, and enjoy the Milwaukee skyline.

No alarm clock tomorrow? Even better.

Dinner. Drinks. Ghosts. Rooftop.

Consider this your permission to make a night of it.

The clouds are finally giving up and the rooftop is calling ☀️🍸

Even mystics need a night to recharge. 🔮✨

A little scheduling note from the other side: card readings will be available Friday the 4th only this weekend, from 6–9 PM.

Join The Mystical Kaleigh Friday evening and see what the cards have in store for you.

On Saturday, Kaleigh will be taking a well-deserved evening away to recharge her crystals… and perhaps herself. 🔮

So if a reading has been calling your name, Friday is your night.

Come for the cards. Stay for dinner, cocktails, and a Hangman Tour.

Milwaukee is looking a little gray this morning. Tomorrow, we’re going to Hawaii. 🌺🍹

No flight. No packing. Just head to the Shakers rooftop.

Tomorrow night, September 4, we’re saying goodbye to summer the only reasonable way we know how — with an Endless-Summer’s Night Eve Hawaiian Tiki Lu’au high above Milwaukee.

Bob-A-Loo has planned a full family-style island feast with Tuna Poke, Lomi Lomi, Lau Lau, Fish Boil Bob-A-Loo, Kalua Wild Boar baked in banana & ti leaves and plenty more.

And naturally, there will be Tiki Boat Drinks. 🌴

🍹 Cocktails at 6 PM

Some stories are written in history. Others might already be written in the palm of your hand. 🔮👻

This Friday & Saturday from 6–10 PM, our palm reader will be at Shakers reading the lines, turns and little mysteries you’ve been carrying around with you.

And when you’re finished discovering what your own story might hold, let Hangman Tours take you into the stories Milwaukee left behind.

Ghosts. True crime. Scandal. Dark history. And more than a few people whose stories didn’t exactly end when they died.

✋ Palm Readings | Friday + Saturday • 6–10 PM
👻 Hangman Tours throughout the weekend

Grab a cocktail, offer up your palm, then follow us into Milwaukee’s darker side.

Past, present, future — we’ve got all three covered this weekend at Shakers.

Labor Day Weekend plans? Consider them handled. 🍸👻🌺

The first weekend of September is almost here, and if you’re staying in Milwaukee for the long weekend, we’ve got plenty waiting for you at Shakers.

Start with dinner and a proper cocktail. Head upstairs for rooftop views. Let someone read your palm or deal the cards. Then, when the sun goes down, follow us into some of Milwaukee’s darker stories.

🔮 Friday + Saturday: Card & Palm Readings from 6–10 PM

👻 All weekend: Hangman Tours — from our haunted Original Ghost Tour & Ghost 2.0 to true crime and the Jeffrey Dahmer American Cannibal Walking Tour

🌺 Friday night: We’re going tropical for our Endless-Summer’s Night Eve Hawaiian Tiki Lu’au — a rooftop feast with Tiki Boat Drinks, Fish Boil Bob-A-Loo, Kalua Wild Boar and plenty of island mischief. (Prepaid reservations required)
Tickets: https://linktr.ee/shakerscigarbar

🍸 And all weekend long: dinner, cocktails, ci**rs, rooftop evenings and four floors of Shakers to explore.

You’ve got an extra day this weekend.

Seems like a shame to spend it somewhere boring.

Paradise is considerably closer than it was yesterday 🌺🍹

One long family-style table
One Milwaukee rooftop
A tasting of Tiki Boat Drinks
A rather impressive amount of Hawaiian food
And yes there will be a wild boar 🐗

The feast includes Tuna Poke Lomi Lomi Lau Lau Fish Boil Bob-A-Loo with crayfish fish & shrimp and Kalua Wild Boar baked in banana & ti leaves plus plenty of island fare along the way

Because after 40 Milwaukee summers quietly saying goodbye to this one simply isn’t our style
