Water Street

Von Trier
(2235N.FarwellAve.,414/272-1775)
could pass for a German
bierhall
with its long heavy wooden bench seating and a summer-
time
biergarten.
In true Bavarian and Wisconsin style, there's a buck's head affixed to the
wall. Even after a 2010 “refreshing,” it's lost none of its essence. A block away on North

hole, and a Milwaukee fave since 1936. That said, in 2012 they re-did the place to give it a
more upscale look. Nice, but it's got a different vibe now.
Too many neighborhood taverns to count exist in Milwaukee, and everybody's got a
different recommendation. The since-1908
Wolski's
(1836 N. Pulaski St., Walker's Point,
414/276-8130) is a corner tavern that defines a Milwaukee tippler's joint. You're an unof-
ficial Beer City denizen if you drive home with an “I closed Wolski's” bumper sticker on
your car.
Dance Clubs
One with the most staying power locally is the live music and dance club
Mad Planet
(533
East Center St., 414/263-4555), a perennial winner of local awards for best dance club.
