Hiding Behind The Storefront Of A ‘TV And Repair’ Shop, Don’s Speakeasy Is One Of Wisconsin’s Best-Kept Secrets
Some of the state’s best places are hiding right under our noses. For instance, did you know there’s a speakeasy operating under the guise of a TV and repair shop? Not only is it hidden from plain view, but you’ve got to utter a secret phrase to gain entry. It’s truly one of Wisconsin’s best-kept secrets…and it’s one secret you’ll want to be in on! Take a look:
In 2020, Don’s Diner in Milwaukee became Don’s Grocery and Liquor. It’s not just the diner’s moniker that’s changed, though.
Once through the hidden entrance and into the dimly-lit dining area, you’re sure to feel like you’ve discovered one of the state’s best-kept secrets…and you have!
Die-hard Don’s Diner fans will be happy to know that the speakeasy serves up the smash burgers, boozy shakes, and Fruity Pebbles pancakes that made the diner a neighborhood classic.
And just like speakeasies of the past, Don’s serves up all your favorite cocktails – and then some. Drink specials, like 10¢ martinis, are also among Don’s many perks.
