110th Anniversary Celebration

September 23rd, 2018

To celebrate our 110th anniversary, we hosted a block party from noon to 5pm on Sunday September 23rd. Thanks to our partner Lakefront Brewery, we had an outdoor cash bar with 6 taps, in addition to the full-service bar inside. Food trucks that participated in the event are the Lakefront Curd Wagon, Hidden Kitchen, Rollin Smoke, and Pig Tailz. Live music by The Brewhaus Polka Kings and Trapper Schoepp.

It was a great event.

Thanks to all who came and Closed Wolski’s

About Us

Wolski’s Tavern was opened in 1908 by Bernard Wolski. His three sons ran the bar for about sixty years. In 1973 Bernard’s great-grandsons Michael and Bernard Bondar purchased it from their third cousin. Their younger brother Dennis joined in once he turned 18. Michael retired, but Bernard and Dennis still own it today.

Wolski’s is inconspicuously located on Milwaukee’s lower east side. We have a pool table, dart boards, free popcorn, and a covered patio. We’ve become known for our “I Closed Wolski’s” bumper stickers, which end up posted all over the world. Stickers are earned, not purchased, and require a late night at the bar.
