If I still lived in Milwaukee, I would be at Angelo's every weekend. Angelo's is a throwback to a classier era, when tiny piano and jazz clubs proliferated from coast to coast. When I was in high school living in NYC, I would get dressed up, head downtown, and drop in to half a dozen places like Angelo's. Dark, sultry, back then filled with smokers looking Bohemian and arty, the music was cool, and I felt so hip drinking my Whiskey Sour. Angelo's provides a 21st Century model of what I described. It's perfect for a romantic tryst or a date that has prurience in mind. The music is eclectic, the drinks made well, and the crowd in the know. Angelo's is a treasure. Go and keep this vestige of better times alive. read more

Yes, I miss some of the nostalgic kitsch that made Angelo's special, but I like the updated look, and I tip my hat to the new owners who thought enough to revive and retain Angelo's Piano Bar. The old bar remains with new bar stools, except for Angelo's bar stool at the south end of the bar. The lighting and colors are brighter and warmer, at least they were on my visit when the sun was still out, well it was cloudy but not night time. You know what I mean. The tables are new with and the bar has that "new bar smell" from the new wood and construction. I was also told the entire roof had to be torn off and replaced. A new keyboard is located on the south wall in the center instead of the southeast corner of the old piano. The drink list offers a handful of drafts, bottles, and wines, as well as a fairly healthy list of spirits. Prices seem in line and reasonable. Angelo's will be open 7 days a week, opening at 3:00 Saturday and Sunday and 4:00 the rest of the week. Music runs 4:00pm-8:00pm Sundays and 9:00pm-1:30am Thursday-Saturday. My visit today was brief, but I plan to return soon. Giving four stars for now until I check out the music scene and a typical Friday or Saturday night. I'm just happy Angelo's is open again. read more

Plenty of street parking. Happy hour Tuesday-Friday 4-8pm 2 for 1! Live music Wednesday-Sunday they take requests!

Angelo has sold the place to some very nice people. You would think that when the namesake moves on they would lose their character,nope. We went here for a quick happy hour stop since the last time we tried to go it was closed for remodeling. Yes is was pretty early in the day and yes we were the only people in the place other than the bartender, which happened to be one of the new owners. He was super gracious that we were there and went straight into the story of the remodel. The place looks amazing! Anyone who went here pre-remodel knows the place needed some love. They were able to fix the place up without losing any of the character. No more David Lynch vibe though, sorry. This place remains a spot I go out of my way to bring people. Glad to see it back open! read more

Note - It's only appropriate that a place as monumental as Angelo's marks my 200th review, just shy of my 7 month Elite-iversary. Sometimes you are lucky enough to find a place so incredibly unique that words to describe it will likely escape you. Such is the case with Angelo's. There is only 25 or so seats in the entire place, but each one is occupied by the most individual of characters. Regulars have commitments measured in decades, and the decor has not changed since their inaugural visit. The bar and it's furnishings hail from the 1950's. The mirrors and wood paneling from the 1970's and the classic cocktails from somewhere in between. And the cast of performers each have their niche too. Jerry is the resident Sinatra-esque crooner. Danny is the Irishman with a full repertoire of requisite Celtic tunes and Jose is well verse in the Latin love song genre. With enough encouragement, Angelo, the Proprietor, may be persuaded to join in the folly with one of his sentimental favorites. This, my friends, it a night at Angelo's. A night so epically original that it inspired a local filmmaker to create a short film to document just that. So as I render myself speechless on the magic of Angelo's I implore you to check it out for yourself, as some things just have to be seen to be believed! read more

Angelo's Piano Lounge - Just like the movie! - Lounges Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

My first time at the Piano Lounge was recently, as we had friends in town wanting to find "live music." We honestly didn't know of any Saturday live music in town, so we ended up at the Piano Lounge. Albeit-- too early for the music. The place was dead at 7pm but the business owner was there setting up for his usual 9pm crowd that came to see his musicians. We heard about the history of the place and the "townie" vibes it got with all of the regulars. Seemed cool. Drinks were cheap. Not a place to order a fun cocktail though. Just get your classic beer or old fashioned or vodka soda. read more

I mean how can you not like Angelo's? It is a great small bar with live music and great drinks. O not to mention the bartenders are super nice and fast service. Every time I visit Milwaukee I always make sure to make a stop here at least 1 time! Great bar! read more

I feel weird giving this place two stars, but let me explain......... I wanted to like this place so bad, and I have had it bookmarked since I moved to Milwaukee, so when we finally went I had high expectations. Needless to say, my experience was disappointing which was a bummer. I am not a quitter though and I think I will give it another try in the future and maybe bring some friends that would be a bit more adventurous. Observations: 1. Average age was around 50. Which doesn't usually bother me because I am a bit of an old soul, however oddly I did feel a bit out of place. 2. It smelled very musky and was much smaller and intimate than i expected. 3. Everyone in the bar got up and sang some fancy show tune I didn't recognize, made me feel like I needed to do the same (and then embarrass myself because I have the voice of a 3yr old child) 4. We sat next to a really sad older guy at the bar that was obsessed with telling us his life story. I think this was one of the main reasons I didn't have the best time is because he completely trumped our experience. (not in a good way) 5. Cash bar :( 6. Despite the cash bar, my drink was stiff and fantastic. read more

Angelo's Piano Lounge - a group of people at a party - Lounges Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I just don't know where to start. I love this place because: 1. It's an institution (proven in the pictures in the back hall) 2. Audience participation (enter egg shakers, unofficial karaoke) 3. Angelo is usually found at the end of the bar 4. You always feel welcome read more

Angelo's Piano Lounge - Lounges Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Worst pizza ever. Haha. We just wanted drinks while exploring Milwaukee for first time (and after too much dinner) when we found this great place. We misread the sign as "Angelo's Pizza Lounge" but we didn't misread the vibe. Bartender was on point with his old fashioneds & manhattans and we won a shot via a dice game. Sometimes established neighborhood bars feel unwelcoming but this place was friendly and fun. Tons of history and great stories. The woman playing piano covered a Zutons original, which was amazing. The owner joined her for a duet on that one. Really glad we found this place and stopped in. read more

Angelo is 76 and all killing it. He may be drunk, he may be losing it, but boy if he isn't still living the proverbial dream I don't know who is. It's piano music and sing-alongs. It's old decor, and a tackiness that's somehow endearing. It's simpler times, or at least the thought of simpler times. The service isn't great, and the hours are weird. It has this *thing* though. That nostalgic glint. The indescribable sense of wonder and joy and hope and friendship. It's like Christmas when you're young. This place has that magic that is fleeting and rare. Check it out, while it still exists. read more

Quite possibly the most unique, genuinely good time I've had in Milwaukee. This tiny little piano bar made me reconsider every other 5-star rating I've given out thus far on Yelp. I've had to demote some of my favorite hot spots to 4-stars because they simply can not compete with Angelo's. I went with my sisters on a Friday night, some time shortly after 10 o'clock. To my surprise, this place was absolutely dead...not at all what I was expecting. There were a few older Italian gentlemen staggered around the bar, one playing piano, and one singing. For just ONE SECOND I felt like we were intruding. This place gives off a small town, locals-only, family owned bar vibe. By that I mean you can tell that these guys are here every single night doing what they do. After that first moment of "do I belong here" nervousness, I was blown away. There is a man here, a local legend rumor has it, who is one of the richest most beautiful tenors I've ever heard. From the second he opened his mouth I knew that this would not be a typical night. So for the first 5-10 minutes of our visit, we just sat, ordered drinks, and enjoyed listening to these men sing (everyone of them has an outstanding voice). After a few minutes they were laughing, joking, and drinking with us as though we'd been friends for years. They had an easy enough time convincing my older sister Jess and I into singing songs of our own (hers was good, mine was atrocious). I suppose you need to know that this is not something we would normally do, but Angelo's has a way about it. You feel safe and warm. You feel compelled to relax and just have a good time. The evening ended (for us) with a song from the owner (this awesome Italian man in a 3 piece, all black suit. legendary), and one last serenade from the local legend. Long story short, this place is incredible. I had an amazing time, lots of laughs, good drinks (for cheaper than you're going to find most other places), and a completely unique experience in a city that I thought I couldn't possibly love more. Personal favor. If you go out to get hammered, yell and scream, get in fights, talk nonstop about absolutely nothing...don't go here. I'm sure these older men would have no problem throwing you out, but I genuinely do not want that stress on their shoulders. If however you like to go out, hear some great music and possibly even share some beautiful music of your own...then I hope to see you there soon. Especially if you're a babe. read more

What a surprise to see lounge acts on a Van Buren bar crawl! Local talent up close and personal. This place gets busy, staff and bartenders are quick and great attention to details the place has a good vibe. Plenty of black and white pics on the wall. The restrooms are old school. Reminds me of the 60- 70's tank over urinal with the continuous roll of cotton hand towels. Many of the table and bar seats will get you close to the floor level performance. Many people were having a great time singing along at this cozy club. I don't care much for cliches but this is a hidden... You know the rest. read more

I have to agree with Rachel F, this place is awesome. I haven't been there in years, but the last time I was there (probably at least 7 or 8 years ago) it was exactly as Rachel described it..although then it was VERY smoky (which, to be honest, added to the ambiance--I know, I know smoking is bad). My friends and I used to visit here monthly...ah the memories... Treat yourself and stop in here--its a great place to experience something different/cool/cheesy/old schoool all in one! read more

We've tried going to Angelo's before but they open later than we typically go out. I'm go glad we followed through and went on a recent Saturday night. We arrived about 9:15 and were the first patrons in there. Leave the Visa card at home, they currently are a cash only establishment. There are ATMs nearby. Music was said to start at 9:30. It probably started at shortly after 10:00, but I was fully entertained by the patrons and vibe, taking in the soft lounge music being piped in until the live entertainment started, and was soaking up bits of stories offered up by Angelo himself. The bartender, I think her name may have been Carrie, was as Milwaukee friendly as all get out. She made us feel right at home and kept everyone in drinks as needed. The bar selection is simple, but you should be able to find something you like. When the music started, one of the gentlemen was singing and playing piano while a young man played saxophone. Angelo joined in singing tunes as well. Angelo's is not fancy, but stepping inside you could honestly believe you're in a time warp. Angelo said the vinyl, yes vinyl, in the jukebox, is from his personal collection. There was a sign on the wall that said the capacity of the place is 25. Sad that it can't hold more, but honestly I think that lends to the charm. A dapper gentlemen took my husband aside at one point and said "you must be a friend of Angelo's..." No, I think it's just THAT kind of place and he's just THAT kind of guy. read more

OBSESSED. My parents head here nearly every Friday or Saturday and as lame as I might sound as a 26 year old hanging out with her parents on a Saturday night- this place is hard to stay away from. The crowd of regulars make this experience a one of a kind for Milwaukee. Jerry Grillo will entertain you thoroughly with his Frank Sinatra-esque throwbacks. Then Danny will belt out some fun Irish songs that get the whole place goin' and swayin' and cheersin'. Than Jose will seduce you with his Spanish serenades. Bobby will WOW you with his throwback to his Broadway days. Not to mention all the beautiful men and women who pop up to sing a song or two and get the whole place feelin right. Literally there is no other experience like this in Milwaukee, or anywhere. Marco will make you a killer cocktail for a great price. Cash only, homies. Seriously, check this place out. Dance with my Mama J (the redhead). She's a babe. and maybe Waynedogg will buy ya a drink. P.S Angelo has a heart of gold. You will want to weep when you hear this man play the trumpet with all of his heart and soul. He lives for good music and sharing it with good people. read more

For my 200th review I wouldn't choose any other place. This establishment was introduced to me by Paress H's parents that frequent the place. At first I was skeptical with being in the area for so long and never going. I was dumb to even doubt their selection. This place is Ah-maz-ing. It is like taking a step back in time. Walking in you will notice the bartender wearing a suit and the piano in the corner...usually with an older gentleman that is always down to sing some Frank Sinatra. Martinis is all I have ever drank here since it just fits. There is no need to get anything else besides enjoy some classy piano and the occasional karaoke that will be to some rat pack song. This place is pretty small, intimate, and dimly lit yet you can see pictures of the Rat Pack on the walls and even the owner has a picture signed with Frank Sinatra. Great place to stop in for a change in the night and nothing but class. read more

For the most part, this place lines up very well with my sensibilities. It's kind of kitschy. Kind of campy. Kind of strange. But it's a real pleasure. Once you kind of settle in to the place it's an amazing experience. Theatrical and cinematic. I'd been told many things about the place: that it was like something out of a David Lynch movie (which it is, minus the sinister aspect, plus Milwaukee accents. Think Twin Peaks meets an anachronistic Milwaukee.), that it was somewhere you needed to see once but that you wouldn't really want to go back (I totally disagree. I would love to go back!), that it was full of coke heads and weirdos (I thought some of the people were kind of bizarre but it hardly seemed as seedy as I'd heard. In fact, it mostly seemed like a lot of very elderly couples out for a wild night!)... We got there just as the show started. At first, I was a little unsure of the whole thing, like, "What in THE heck am I in for now?" But this unique and charming and sorta strange woman came out to the keyboard and made a little introduction and launched into this show that included periodic accompaniment by a trumpeter. After the initial feeling of uncertainty though I felt kind of carried away in the rush of it all. When she swung into "Bye Bye Blackbird" I was just about beside myself with glee. It was like she was working an enchantment on a five dollar bill in my pocket that propelled me right up to the tip jar. Fabulously strange. I can't wait to go back. read more

Unique piano bar with great ambience. Definitely a breath of fresh air compared to all the surrounding bars in the area. If you're in the mood for quality live music and an escape from the crowds that are common at every other bar on Brady, Angelo's is the place! read more

I love Angelo's! A friend of mine introduced me to the place about 5 or 6 years ago and I became a regular when I visited him...last night was the first time I've visited since moving to Milwaukee. While some of the crew that made my visits so special were no longer there (Bonnie the kiss your cheek every time I deliver you a drink waitress, and the cute little old keyboard player...Norma if I remember correctly), their replacements brought enough charisma to the kitschy little place to make me want to return again. I was with a group of people who I'm not really sure "got" what is so damned charming about this place. I didn't allow their disappointing comments to distract me from having a great time and I allowed the new keyboard player, Ginny, to escort me away to a place quite some distance from my weekly woes. If you're in the mood to escape what I consider the grossness of Brady and Water Streets and hang with a crowd who are "all in the mood for a melody" then this is definitely a great place to go to. If you just dropped some coin at The Buckle and bought a sweet new faux rock n roll shirt and spiked your new frosted hair up, you might be disappointed and should just keep walking until you hit Water St though. read more

This place was a fantastic surprise. The crowd is older, laid back, and all about having fun. The talent was amazing! Loved the piano player, and members of the audience were invited to come up and sing. To be fair, I probably shouldn't give Angelo's 5 stars because the actual bar is awful. Old fixtures, strong smell of mold, every bar stool is on the verge of breaking, and the bathrooms are just wrong. BUT, none of that really matters once you hear the piano and feel the joyful atmosphere. If anything, the deterioration of the bar adds to the authenticity of Angelo's being a "neighborhood establishment". I will be visiting Angelo's again. read more

We happened upon Angelo's while walking down Brady street and we couldn't believe our find! This place is just awesome, one of the best Saturday nights I've had in a very long time. We sat right up near the piano and got to enjoy the playing and singing up close and personal. Several people, including some regular patrons, got up to sing and they were seriously amazing-the real deal! Angelo, or Angie as referred to by the regulars, was a complete character to watch behind the bar-we were entertained just watching his antics, unfortunately he didn't sing when we were there-but hey, all the more reason to come back again! We had a very friendly waitress who apologized if we had to get up and walk 5 feet to ask for another beer, and they even went next door to get us more Miller Lite when they ran out! I also got a lovely serenade at midnight because it was my birthday-so great! We will without a doubt be back whenever we're in the Milwaukee area! read more

This place is the best place. I'll preface this entire review by saying that I don't mean any of this tongue in cheek. I truly, wholly, and unabashedly think Angelo's is awesome. Maybe it's because it's a world I'm not used to. Going to Angelo's is going outside my microcosm -- and let's face it, we all live in our very own petri dishes. But Angelo's is honest and fun and brilliant. Without going on some even crazier tangent, I think that Angelo's kind of represents some of the good and honest in humanity. (You'd think I was talking about a charity or something, but nope. This is a piano bar, folks.) Scene: Angelo is playing his impossibly loud trumpet on a tiny stage in the corner and gesticulating wildly/singing while doing so. You are approximately ten feet away at most. Perhaps he's being accompanied by the lady who plays the organ. She's quite advanced in years, but her make-up is impeccable, and her outfit it sparkly and fantastic. And she owns it, really. Your server (Angelo's wife/gf Bonnie, I believe?), will come around and take your drink order in due time... the place is packed. And she's all "honey" and "sweetie" and the like and I feel like maybe she was smoking while she was working, and it's great. Angelo's through though... so now a tall, tanned gentleman takes the stage. He looks like a finely dressed and better-kempt version of Gary Busey. And he can croon! It's some old-timey thing, some some obscure, Rat Pack-era tune. And the Christmas lights are glowing and there's something magical about this place. It's unreal and so real in the same moment. I think I'm going to drag my friends there tonight. Seriously. I have no plans and for my friends that haven't gone? You don't truly live in Milwaukee unless you've hit up Angelo's. read more

How can there be no review for Angelo's yet? I'm baffled. This is BY FAR my favorite spot in Milwaukee. A tiny, smoky "piano" bar with an older gregarious crowd. You go here for the experience. Drinks are expensive...and well worth the entertainment. Angelo, who is getting older now doesn't get up to sing as often as he used to....but there are plenty of people willing to take the spot light. It is definately not karoake...but friends of Angelo will fill up the entire night with classic Italian music by the greats. The crowd here is older and such a treat to connect with these very down to earth people with some GREAT stories. They love it when they see younger people in here as well...it used to be a rareity.....but now there are 30 somethings scattered around the bar a bit. I highly recommend it. I highly recommend sharing a table with others and drinking too much and singing along! read more

This is my favorite bar in the city and I don't see that changing. Envision: Stepping into a dark bar that smells of a grandpa's sofa. Strong, cheap drinks served in frosted glass straight from the 80's. Cash only. Angelo, the owner who is currently 76, has just returned from surgery. An LED writing board reads, "Welcome Home Angelo! YUM YUM." Walls are decorated with twinkle lights and pictures of customers past (all smoking cigars or cigarettes). The capacity of the bar is about 25 but it never reaches it, even with a cast of 15 regulars, including an unassuming muscular man wearing blue jeans and a sleeveless denim vest with a patch on the back proclaiming him "Beer Nuts President". Piano is located on a slightly raised stage near the front and people get up to sing, including Angelo who looks right at you and makes you feel like he's falling in love since he's such a performer. Angelo brings out the trumpet and plays with impressive lung strength. Other clientele include a variety of older men wearing fedoras and full suits (real jazz cats) returning to the glory days. The man in the denim vest begins singing a soft and sultry tune followed by an Irish jig in which all women present are asked to kiss him on the cheek. Free drinks from Angelo who says with a smile that his only goal for the place is to "have people leave happier than when they walked in". Night topped off with mini cannolis, hand-made by the bartender. It doesn't get better than this. read more

You can easily do better than the "new" and definitely unimproved Angelo's. Re-opened under new management: Now' it's a "High Priced 'Dive Bar'" with expensive drinks, no food, a snotty bartender, a skilled jazz piano player and no customers on a nice Friday night. (No, we don't have happy hours at night, no "house specialties", no "promos" to entice customers to visit, much less return. Besides, we're not keen on new customers bothering us when we're busy with regulars.) Next door, the Mexican restaurant has 20 customers at the bar, another half-dozen tables with diners eating fresh, delicious, home-made food, Mexican beer, Margaritas, Tequila and Sangria. Nice family runs the place, prices are characteristically modest and there's welcoming staff to bring food and drinks and appreciation for patrons. read more

The Pianist was amazing! She was playing beautifully. Bartender came up to us asking for ID's, we showed them to him and he pretty much told us to go next door after we asked what drinks they had, saying they have what we might want NEXT DOOR, lol, and he said YES when we asked if he wanted us to go next door! I liked it here, but I probably won't come back. The pianist was amazing, and I see everyone else on here really enjoys this place a lot, so sad my experience wasn't good!! read more

This is one place that no doubt I will be coming back. Wish I live closer. Nothing relaxing than a wine and music to slow down your thinking cell. Although I would suggest that the people could just chat softly in here. -I am here to relax, not to here them b*ch about there day. read more

Really enjoyed our night here. Good vibe, great bartender. Piano player was very good but the regulars who got up to sing were amazing. Not your average karaoke! read more

This place is the real deal, hard to come by in a world saturated with hipper-than-thou irony. An intimate piano joint, you can sit at the bar or one of the few tables in the corner, listening to Angelo or one of his many guests croon away. Of course no one expects you to "hush" while they're onstage -- Angelo's is pretty lively. There's drinking going on in addition to singing --and not an ounce of pretense. I once ordered a salty dog, and was looked at crossed-eyed until I corrected myself: vodka & grapefruit? You bet. read more

Have you ever had Angelo sing happy birthday to you? If yes, you also gave Angelo's a five star rating. If not, go on your birthday and have Angelo sing happy birthday to you. After "Happy Birthday," he sang a second song directly to me that involved him swooning about the beauty and depth of my eyes. I will never forget my one and only (so far) trip to Angelo's. I was also in love with the jukebox, just because it is so old and you get four (four!) songs for a dollar. I put in a dollar even though I didn't recognize a single song and picked four randomly. Note: They are cash only. read more

A great hole in the wall piano bar where one must go to if they appreciate some real music. Just a head's up, this is not a bar that you go to to slam shots and talk to your friends on the top of your lungs. Instead, this is a great bar to have a nice cocktail, listen to some genuine music, and take a step back into the good old days. Cash only. read more

The place is either packed or dead depending if anything is happening around town so go early if you want a seat closer. Seats by the bar are usually open and I typically sit there. They do have martini specials for $5 or a bucket of beer for about $20 which isn't bad for a piano bar. There is a cover charge but it's worth it if you are looking to do something different in the city. I recommend this if you have friends or family in town. read more

I have never posted a Yelp review... but I thought my experience warranted one. You walk in, as all the previous reviews state, to an adorable, hole in the wall piano bar. The pianist was very talented. One of the off duty bar tenders did seem a little hard on him telling him his tempo and key were wrong for a song and made him start a song over, but I digress... My three friends and I grabbed a table near the piano and then went up to get drinks. The bartender did not know how to make anything other than an old fashion. He asked if my friend wanted a cherry in his white russian (yes - a cherry), which he neglected to put vodka in. My rum and coke tasted like neither rum nor coke, and my friends vodka cranberry was made with sugar free cranberry juice. I'm not quite sure where this guy learned to tend bar, but he should find a new teacher. My friend who got the old fashioned finished and decided to get a second one while we chocked down our first round. The bartender did not dump out the remnants of the old drink, but poured the new drink right on top. (Side note: a few other Yelpers said that the drinks were cheap. They were between $6 and $8. Decide for yourself if you think that is cheap.) Before we left, I decided to use the bathroom. I have NEVER in my life smelled that smell from a bathroom that had running water. Imagine a pit toilet at a campground... without any sort of ventilation... that hadn't been cleaned in a few months. My friends said they could smell the bathroom on me when I returned to the table. While I do like the atmosphere and the music, I will not return to Angelo's. If I did, I would only have bottled beer and make sure to leave before anyone needed to use the bathroom. read more

It looks like I'm going to be the lone dissenter here. I visited Angelo's on a Saturday night with a few friends. We're on the younger end of the bar crowd spectrum, which I thought would be no big deal since I had read in one of the other reviews that the place is "frequented by old timers and youngsters alike." But much to our surprise, on a Saturday night the youngest person there must have had at least 20 years on us. The waitress was very aggressive, continually hounding us to get more drinks, which brought about memories of my Jewish grandmother dutifully shoving food in my face at family gatherings, insisting that I "put some meat on my bones." Also, for a place with older clientele, the bathroom was not as clean as one might expect. On the other hand, the musicians were pretty talented and the bar's owner and namesake Angelo sang, which was enjoyable. The drinks were also reasonably priced and well made. If you're over 40, Angelo's might be the place for you; all the older people there really seemed to be enjoying themselves. But younger patrons would be better off going to one of the numerous other bars in the area. read more

This place has a lot of character! Its a good place to drink with friends and enjoy the piano music!

This is the worst place to catch any live entertainment. DO NOT BELIEVE ANY OF THESE GREAT REVIEWS. I have been to some great piano bars in America. I love catching live music, and am a musician myself. We stepped in the bar (which was no bigger than my kitchen) and everyone was staring at us like we were outsiders and should not be there. Some old guy was half in the sack at 9:30 with an echo-y microphone from the 70's and was staggering around saying "Happy Friday" We walked right back out and will never go back again. Don't waste your time. If you think this place is great entertainment, you must not have ever been outside of the city limits looking for entertainment. read more

Had a great time at Angelos. Warm welcoming atmosphere, talented locals singing, stiff drinks. Can see why there are so many regulars! read more

The place where jazz lives. Been all over the country, and this is one place I will visit everytime I come to Milwaukee.
