I am thrilled that The Estate made a comeback after its closure of almost two years. The vibe, the…read morecocktails, the staff, and most importantly, the musicians are all amazing and make a perfect outing with friends or a date. Have you been to Bryant's or At Random? You know that feeling of walking in to a dark moody vibe from yesteryear, knowledgeable staff who make you feel at home and cocktails that are top tier? This is also The Estate, but with the bonus component of live music (the best kind of music!). Some of my favorite acts to see here include the soulful Cameron Webb, the organ trio Righteous Rooster, the Commercialists (especially for their annual Charlie Brown Christmas) and more. Such a great variety of sound and styles. Bonus is that online ticketing is very easy and the lowest fees I have ever seen. It is not your typical ticket master / live nation extortion pricing. I highly recommend supporting this venue and their artists frequently.

Cool that 3 Klement Racing Sausages were there to dance along. Audience loved this group; hope to catch them again at another Milwaukee fest. I can see why The Reverend won the Wisconsin Music Industry (WAMI) award for best blues band in 1999, 2000, 2004, 2005, 2008 and again in 2010. They also received the People's Choice Award in 2006, 2008 and again in 2010. If your looking for quality blues & jazz for your next party or event, check them out!

The service is variable, I'll keep coming back for the music and food but I wish the wait staff could be more consistently respectful. You just can't make too many special requests. One time, the Chief of Staff first switched seats, then requested no disposable straws, then the final straw, so to speak, was when on my behalf she asked for a glass with ice for my diet soda. The waiter, visibly fed up, took my warm can, popped it open, put it in a plastic to go cup with a cap, put in a disposable straw and put it in front of my plate inviting our immediate departure. I've been here a few times and sometimes the service is okay. I wouldn't return but for the live music dates.

The waitress's are ok, but the bar food was actually GOOD! Lol. The waitress was a little lackluster, and looked a bit worn down, unlike my last experienced here. The fried party wings are juicy and tasty, so yummy. The sausage / pepperoni pizza took me back to my childhood, great memories of the best pizza topped with delicious cheese. They have a parking lot with a security guard, but it was full by the time we came, however, there was plenty of street parking available. I didn't like the security search down at the door. (But I guess it's necessary) they checked my purse and my body before letting me in... again, I guess I should appreciate it, it's for my own safety after all. The guards were not friendly. (Which is the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5) The MUSIC WAS GREAT!!! A female DJ played a variety of songs, covering the 60s, 70s through today's music, I really enjoyed myself. Oh, they also have a dance floor, so feel free to "cut a rug" lol. . Perfect place for social gatherings. Have a great attitude and have FUN!

This was a nice club spot. There's one room as you walk in that seems to play older music and had…read morean older crowd. Behind another door was a larger room with more contemporary music. Both rooms had bars, and a dance floor. Drinks are very inexpensive compared to clubs in Cali! It only costs $5 to get in. That blew my mind too. Security in and outside the club were friendly. A few of them kept us laughing. The parking lot is small, but there are some spots along the street.

If I remember correctly we ordered 3 hours worth of wedding music. I did not have the chance to meet him in person (my husband made arrangements and on the wedding day I was busy with getting ready) but people said he was really nice. My flower girl was afraid of loud sounds, including loud music, so when she went down the isle he played a very quiet little girl piece which made her walk even more cute. Very skilled pianist, I would recommend him for your wedding day or any other event. Contact him through his website.

Makes you wonder why you had not done this before. Everybody brings a cooler or a basket with food; and the event organizers kindly ask that you purchase your beverages with the vendors. That's how the can make a profit and support the event (makes sense). Drinks are about $6 per cup. This is my first "Jazz in the Park" and I'll definitely come better prepared next time. Besides my chair, I'll bring a book (for the wait) and snacks! There weren't really many options this time. Happy "Jazz in the Park"! Fun fact: "Jazz in the Park" has its own mascot! You can see it dancing around the park. Great for kids!

I didn't start going to jazz until i moved away from Cathedral Square (well, so I'm 12 blocks away now instead of 1 block,) but I still feel like this is my neighborhood gettogether (as opposed to say, chill on the hill or tosa tonight.) So in the interest of repping home base and all, I have to increase it to 5 stars. That, and really, does summer in milwaukee get any better than sitting on the grass in cathedral square with a bottle of wine (Louises will even deliver a whole pizza to your staked out spot,) or roaming the grounds with a watermelon mojito in hand? I think not. It's always better the hotter the weather gets. There's all kinds of other stuff available for purchase, from kettle corn to beer and wine to tacos to risotto! And you'll see all sorts of milwaukee and neighborhood characters here for good measure. Disclaimer: the music and performers are generally very good...but I'm just more there for the festive atmosphere. Be sure to stop in one of the neighboring restaurants or bars around the square before or definitely after Jazz in the Park ends for the full effect. See you there!
