About Us

Nestled in Milwaukee’s historic Walker’s Point neighborhood, Shaker's Cigar Bar has welcomed guests from around the world for more than 40 years. Housed inside an 1894 building with an extraordinary past, Shaker's Cigar Bar has served as a cooperage, a Prohibition-era speakeasy and brothel, and today stands as one of the city’s most celebrated dining and hospitality destinations.

Our History is Legendary. Our Hospitality is Timeless.

Since 1986, we’ve built our reputation on world-inspired cuisine, handcrafted cocktails, rare vintage spirits, boutique wines, premium cigars, and genuine hospitality. Every detail reflects owner Bob Weiss’s passion for travel, culture, and creating memorable experiences that bring people together.

More Than a Bar

Whether you’re joining us for live music, one of our immersive historic, ghost, true crime, or Mafia tours, an unforgettable dinner, or an overnight stay in our famous penthouse, you’ll discover that Shaker's Cigar Bar is far more than a restaurant or bar.

It’s a Milwaukee tradition.

Welcome home.
