Shakers Milwaukee

Shakers Milwaukee Welcome Home! We've been Shakin' your world since 1986 when we came home to shake up the local food and beverage scene. Cheers. Still only 90 miles from Chicago.

Shakers emerged with the bold mission to "shakeup the local culinary and beverage scene" by offering an array of global cuisine within the walls of this exquisite 1894 establishment, once home to the notorious Al Capone's Speakeasy & Brothel. Award-winning worldly foods, vintage wines and Brown Spirits to accompany Cigars in a former speak-easy and Brothel once owned by Capone. Unique vibe in an historic building with talented staff.

Fridays were made for lingering.

Another round of cocktails. One more course. A table that somehow stays together long after dinner is finished.

This summer, we’re celebrating 40 Years of Shakers with our new Key West-inspired menu—a collection of dishes inspired by island flavors, fresh seafood, and the easygoing spirit of the coast.

Lump crab cakes.
Octopus ceviche.
Fish tacos.
Skewered swordfish and colossal shrimp.
Ropa vieja.

Beyond the dining room, ghost tours wind through a former Al Capone-owned speakeasy. Tarot cards are turned. Stories are shared. History reveals itself one room at a time.

Pair it all with a handcrafted cocktail, a bottle of wine, or one of our rare spirits and settle in for the evening.

Whether you’re joining us for dinner, drinks, a ghost tour, or simply a night inside one of Milwaukee’s most storied buildings, there’s something special about a summer Friday at Shakers.

Join us tonight.

Few know the story.

Long before documentaries, streaming specials, and true crime podcasts, the events that would captivate the world unfolded right here in Milwaukee.

The Cream City Cannibal Tour takes guests beyond the headlines and into one of the most infamous criminal cases in American history, exploring the timeline, investigation, locations, and events that forever changed the city.
