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.

☀️ A Sunday like this doesn’t come around nearly often enough.

Blue skies.

A warm breeze.

A cocktail in hand. Or a fresh hand squeezed & made to order lemonade 🍋

Dinner that turns into dessert… and dessert into one more round.

Spend the last hours of your weekend on Milwaukee’s only tri-level rooftop, overlooking the skyline with handcrafted cocktails, boutique wines, one of the country’s most distinctive collections of rare brown spirits, and a Key West-inspired menu that’s meant to be enjoyed slowly.

Tomorrow can wait.

Summer won’t.

📍 422 S. 2nd Street
Just 90 clicks from Chicago. Worth every one of them.

🍸 Forty years of hospitality… one exceptional espresso martini at a time.

At Shakers, we’ve spent the last four decades believing that the little details matter. A perfectly balanced cocktail. A memorable meal. A table that turns into an entire evening.

Watch Mari craft one of our signature espresso martinis, then join us this weekend for our Key West-inspired menu, handcrafted cocktails, boutique wines, rare brown spirits, and a summer evening on the rooftop.

After 40 years, we’ve learned that the best nights are never rushed.

They begin with a great cocktail.

We’ll take care of the rest.

🦑 Summer tastes better at Shakers.

Start with tender calamari and octopus, tossed with fresh herbs, garlic, & sweet cherry tomatoes.

Then let the evening unfold.

Take your cocktail to Milwaukee’s only tri-level rooftop, where 360° skyline views, boutique wines, handcrafted cocktails, one of the country’s most distinctive collections of rare brown spirits, and live entertainment come together to create the kind of summer night you wish lasted just a little longer.

After 40 years, we’ve learned that the best evenings aren’t measured by the time on the clock.

They’re measured by how long you decide to stay.

🎶 Friday nights sound better on the roof at Shakers.

Tonight, Clarissa, the Queen of Soul & Funk, takes the stage from 8:00–11:00 PM.

Start with dinner from our Key West-inspired menu. Order the cocktail you’ve been thinking about all week. Wander upstairs with a glass of wine, settle in, and let one of Milwaukee’s most soulful voices take it from there.

After 40 years, we’ve learned something…

The best evenings are never overplanned.

They begin with good company, great food, a perfectly crafted cocktail, and a song that makes you stay for one more.

We’ll see you tonight.
