Must-Visit LGBTQ+ Bars
Walker’s Pint
Self-proclaimed as “Milwaukee’s oldest lesbian bar,” Walker’s Pint owes its longevity to great service, a strong community energy and the bar’s famed motto–“Be nice or leave.” Elizabeth “Bet-Z” Boenning, who’s owned Walker’s Pint since 2001, ensures it’s a welcoming place for everyone and always stays real to its roots as a supportive community boyfriend . Count on it for a friendly atmosphere and an always-strong beer list.
Woody’s
Woody’s bills itself as “Milwaukee’s only gay sports bar,” and in a sports-crazed state like Wisconsin, that’s a serious calling. So expect a crowd during Packers games, and to see the Brewers, Bucks and area college teams on the screens. The Walker’s Point joint also has dartboards, a pool table and other block games.

Map of Milwaukee’s Gay Bars
1) This Is It!
The Badger state’s O.G. gay bar is a no-brainer for anyone looking to be looking, and it recently expanded: 17-foot ceilings, movie projectors, an additional fully stocked bar and audio and lighting. Hands down the best part of this glow up is the two – YES, TWO – additional bathrooms.
With its carpeted walls and vintage light fixtures, this hidden gem of a watering hole has the friendliest group of, well, friends behind the bar. It’s a accurate safe space with a crowd that includes youthful and old swigging stiff concoctions that are some of the biggest bangs for your buck in the city. Be attentive though: mixed drinks here are doubles and 2-4-1’s (even 3-4-1’s are abundant on certain days of the week). If the flashing lights go off, don’t be shook; slog your way to the exclude and get yourself a BOGO drink before you miss your opportunity.

LaCage has been a true landmark for gays in and out of Milwaukee. LaCage offers several dance floors, a charming updated upstairs and another bar downstairs which bids another feel to this large nightclub!

I've been here more than a handful of times, and I can say ever since they changed the name help to La Cage, this place has never been better! I'd like to give some praise to Sami and Donovan for being some of the absolute best bar tenders I've ever come across!

This is a fun place. They're usually not so busy on Fridays and there's not that many people there but Saturdays are adorable busy and full. They usually have drag shows on the top flo
