They have bands throughout the year and in summer they have an outside tent so you can watch live music in the warm weather. It's a really nice dive bar that she spent money on making nice. The pizza is a definite buy because it's homemade by an amazing Italian cook. I call this place my living room because I can stagger there from my house. It's such a cute place if you haven't been you need to try it.

It was busy and live bands were already playing in the back. We were hoping for the green lips cocktail which featured melon liquor, chartreuse and titos but alas they were out. However the wonderful bar staff mixed up some excellent blueberry infused vodka cocktails that were incredible. The blueberry flavor really came through tasting fresh and fruity. They mixed them to order also with mine being less sweet and my daughters being sweeter and they were spot on. The crowd is mixed age and there was plenty of tattoos and black leather but my sketchers and office attire is welcome too. I would definitely come back for another cocktail and maybe listen in on a local band next time.

Having a cold beer, watching a game, getting banging service... and you'll watch them make you wings. You'll think "man that's a lot of work for wings" then you'll eat them... and angels will sing.

The wings were good, but the customer service felt rude and uninviting. As customers in our…read moremid-20s, we noticed a lot of staring and felt overlooked while the bartenders seemed much more engaged with the older men at the bar. We ordered 10 wings without realizing that Wednesdays were unlimited wing nights. No one explained how the special worked, and the staff acted as though we should have already known the rules. When we asked another bartender whether we could order another round of 10 because the wings were unlimited, he responded that he "didn't know what that means." He then explained that we could order as many as we wanted as long as we didn't take them to go which we already understood. We were simply trying to order another round. I understand that the bar was busy, but we were rarely checked on or asked whether we wanted another drink or anything else. The wings were good, although I personally didn't understand all the hype. If you're in your mid-20s and looking for a younger, more welcoming atmosphere, I would recommend trying somewhere else.

They performed upstairs and the room was full of energy. Then I went to see Dance Gavin Dance upstairs as well but it was split in half so they didnt preform ont he main stage. It was still a riveting concert. Downstairs they often have smaller events with djs. I recently went to Punchis Punchis Banda Rave. Imagine EDM beats but in Spanish with music most Mexicans grew up listening to. It was definitely a vibe dancing to oontz oontz. Last night, I saw Poppy with the split upstairs stage. It definitely got packed but it was still a good show! Dont forget to check out the merch while you're seeing artists. I always see some really good tshirts and extra goodies. Their drinks are on the more expensive side. I will reassure you guys that the cocktails are usually heavy poured for their price so there's that. They also usually have food vendors outside to grab a quick bite before the show starts or during the openers.

Doors opened at 7 and we arrived about 15 minutes early. Since the doors were locked, we have to go to the bar the next door over and it was happened. The place was busy with the service was spectacular and the prices are really reasonable. Then we made our way back over to the venue, what a great stage area, bathroom is all the way to the back. Such beautiful interior and the service was excellent We would definitely recommend a show here!!!

I was there for the Bluegrass Winter Heater festival. 4 local bands had us hooting and hollering all night. The music was great and the drinks kept us warm from the inside out. No complaints from me. I will be looking forward to more events like this in the future.

Vivarium is a new live music venue on Milwaukee's lower East Side, and I saw the band Luna there in…read moreabout the third week of Vivarium's existence. Run by the Colectivo crowd, it looks just like the Back Room, high ceilings adorned with metal trusses, fake and real plants, and no soundproofing. Checking in with the app the employees were super nice! Really refreshing. If you follow live music in Milwaukee you've already heard about the talking crowds and bad sightlines from the Buffalo Nickels show and a co-worker said the same about the Charlie Paar show. We were there early so got a good spot closer to the stage, but even close up the stage could stand to be higher. Luna was sounding good but the guitarist was noting a ghost in his equipment, band members seemed to be wincing from sound issues. Something for the club to figure out. Went to watch from the back and the room sound is really good. Sightlines are horrible back there, as the stage needs to be higher. The crowd was so talkative during the whole show, my friend noted people are disengaged from the bad sightlines, so that makes sense. Stand in front of the truss with the wifi device for a better engaged crowd, good sound and better sight lines. Bar offerings are good, bathrooms are clean and stylish. A solid three stars (OK) with room for improvement.

BF and I visited Vivarium to see the band Enter the Haggis. It was the third show at the new venue,…read moreso everything is clean and nice. The interior decor appears to have been moved directly over from the Back Room at Collectivo, with the same ceiling treatment and plants - both real and faux. The bar is also pretty much the same, with mixed drinks, wine, beers and non alcoholic options. Seating at this show was all folding chairs, but the staff brought out more when they saw the size of the crowd in attendance. Perhaps it was our average collective age. There are a few loveseats and high stools along the right side of the room. It is not a fantastic acoustic space, with it's abundance of hard surfaces and no soft finishes, but it is intimate and allows you to get right up by the musicians. The bathrooms, at least the women's, are large with plenty of stalls and flattering lighting. This is a good replacement for the Back Room - essentially a carbon copy - but you have some chance of parking successfully over here as the street is less busy. There are also plenty of restaurants around for pre-show eats.

I had heard about the Tin Widow's holiday pop up being one of the best area, the hype was not wrong. From the entrance to the ceiling and walks, this place is the definition of deck the halls. Unless you get here right when they open it early in the holiday season, I would expect a crowd. The drink menu is so fun with holiday themed drinks served in matching glassware. You can even purchase the glass/mug for an additional fee. A lot of the cocktails looked to be batched cocktails which help with the bartender's efficiency. Highly recommend making this place a holiday stop. I'm also curious to stop in after the holidays to experience it without all the holiday decor.

Access is easier, with no stairs to get in. The entrance & main orchestra floor are on the same level. The decor & style have been maintained, keeping the theater l beautiful. Its nearly 100 years old, opening in 1928, Our seats were very good, row P. The slope of the floor, allows a good view of the stage from any seat. The seats themselves are older but were still comfortable. I hope i get to see a show there again soon. Security was smooth and easy. Tickets were on AXS app which is the same as other Pabst group shows. Parking is in a structure about 2 blocks away, unless you are lucky & find street parking. U
