Shakers Cigar Bar

Have you ever wanted to sleep with a ghost? At Shakers you can! 

No, no not like that... get your head out of the gutter. While I can't promise you any spooky suitors you can spend the night at one of Milwaukee's most famous haunted locations! 

Voted the 5th most haunted bar in the entire nation, Shakers inspires curiosity in believers and skeptics alike. Built in 1894 atop an old cemetery the building was destined for paranormal activity from the beginning. Over the years it has served as a brewery, distribution center and a soda bottling company. However, things were not as innocent as they appeared. As you'll learn on the tour some of the businesses were only a front to mask mob activity led by none other than the infamous Al Capone. 

Where there are mobsters there are other crooked activities too. It might come as no surprise that the upper floors of the building were home to Milwaukee's very own brothel. Lust, pleasure and tears, emotions ran high as ladies as young as 16 entertained rowdy criminals. 

Today, life at Shakers is a little less gruesome but no less exciting. Years of traumatizing activity have made some spirits permanent residents. Stop by to say hello with a tour and a cigar.
