In-Depth Information
They have regular dance parties that always turn into a mix of all local subcultures; here,
goths mix with punks. Get there early.
It's a chain, but
Have a Nice Day Cafe
(1101 N. Old World 3rd St., 414/270-9650) is a
fun retro haven for those stuck in the 1970s; their signature goldfish-bowl drinks will help
you get into the groove.
Live Music
Rock
Shank Hall
(1434 N. Farwell Ave., 414/276-7288) offers a constant barrage of prominent
local, regional, and national acts. It was once a stable, so the interior isn't exactly a delight
when the lights come up. More good spots for local rock or regional alternative acts and
mostly college crowds include
Points East Pub
(1501 N. Jackson St., 414/272-0122) and
the acoustically atrocious
Rave
(2401 W. Wisconsin Ave., 414/342-7283). Many readers of

$6-15) as tops.
