Best Bars To Work In Milwaukee Near Me

4worldlovers: The Camp story began over 20 years ago when Paul Hackbarth started Sound by Design. In 2012, Paul purchased 4044 N Oakland to house his growing DJ company, the building offered two storefronts and ample parking, which is exactly what Sound by Design needed. At the time of purchase, Paul was unsure of what to do with that newly vacant second storefront. During a conversation with village officials, Paul was asked what he thought Shorewood needed. Paul candidly answered that the city lacked any nightlife and needed a great local bar.

That same week Paul and his wife Natalia closed on their cabins up north. During their five hour drive, Paul mentioned the conversation he had with the village. He knew that he wanted to open a quaint neighborhood bar, that would be a great place for the community to gather. It was not until they walked into their cabin, lit a fire, sat down to enjoy a celebratory beer that Paul realized the theme for Camp. He told Natalia, “Let’s build a bar that looks like this cabin and represents what up north means to us”.

Cozy up in a booth while sipping on a classic signature cocktail and enjoying the finest service in Milwaukee.

We have limited group seating and will accommodate groups up to 8 people when possible.

4worldlovers: To celebrate our 110th anniversary, we hosted a block party from noon to 5pm on Sunday September 23rd. Thanks to our partner Lakefront Brewery, we had an outdoor cash bar with 6 taps, in addition to the full-service bar inside. Food trucks that participated in the event are the Lakefront Curd Wagon, Hidden Kitchen, Rollin Smoke, and Pig Tailz. Live music by The Brewhaus Polka Kings and Trapper Schoepp.

Wolski’s Tavern was opened in 1908 by Bernard Wolski. His three sons ran the bar for about sixty years. In 1973 Bernard’s great-grandsons Michael and Bernard Bondar purchased it from their third cousin. Their younger brother Dennis joined in once he turned 18. Michael retired, but Bernard and Dennis still own it today.

Wolski’s is inconspicuously located on Milwaukee’s lower east side. We have a pool table, dart boards, free popcorn, and a covered patio. We’ve become known for our “I Closed Wolski’s” bumper stickers, which end up posted all over the world. Stickers are earned, not purchased, and require a late night at the bar.


This crisp and refreshing cider mixes the sweetness of the apples with a subtle dryness for a balanced cider taste

Honoring the eclectic East Side of the city, this Bavarian dark lager is a blend of three specialty grains, creating a rich, smooth, dark beer

Lakefront's Flagship Beer, named after the hard-working neighborhood where Lakefront Brewery was founded.

It’s honest: the clear, golden pour has nothing to hide. The straightforward, medium-light body delivers peppery and grassy flavors, followed by grainy, honeyed malt notes.

The same familiar beer you enjoy in the can, but in a tasty draft format

Straight from St. James Gate Brewery in Dublin, this beer is a mainstay of any pub experience.

First brewed in 1849, still holds up well, including winning medals in American Style Light Lager categories to this day
