The Hidden Speakeasy In Milwaukee That Will Transport You To Another Era
Sometimes, you just need to escape life for awhile and transport to another era. In the roaring twenties, during prohibition, illegal and hidden “speakeasy” bars were created behind the backs of the law. Thankfully for Brew City, we’re not in prohibition times any longer! Dress to the nines and dance the night away at this hidden Milwaukee speakeasy… if you can find it, that is.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
That is if you can find it...
Bugsy's is modeled after original speakeasies, so it blends into the ally. Don't fret though, it's well-lit, safe, and constantly monitored by security.
Gouda's Italian Deli acts as a "business cover operation" for the speakeasy. You can enter through the deli when it's open, and they even provide a lite fare menu during happy hour.
The staff is all dressed in 1920's attire, and we encourage you too as well!
Bugsy's offers drinks of the present, as well as classics from the past.
From 5 to 8 p.m. on Thursday's and Friday's, Gouda's serves up the best Italian sandwiches around. What goes better with a fancy cocktail than authentic Italian fare?
Whether you're looking to dance the night away or relax at the bar with good company, Bugsy's is always a great choice. There's also often live music!
Bugsy's Back Alley Speakeasy is located at 218 N. Water St., Milwaukee.
