Milwaukee: Come for the Atmosphere, Stay for the Burgers at Swingin' Door Exchange

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

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