This is a fantastic bar and venue in North MKE. I was there for the Milwaukee Polka Riot and it was packed and electric! This place has a nice community. You'll have a great time here.

Action Jackson here -- We played here last night for the Polka Riot, and it was a great experience! The owner is really nice, we met lots of fun people, and it rocks! Highly recommend it for music fans and performers.

Genuinely a cool bar and music venue. Great entertainment like The Taxmen fighting Bob, and more. Open mics have been fun. Jim Linneman is cool and approachable to meet and runs his place well.
