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.

SHE HAS HER STORY. NEXT SATURDAY, YOU MAY LEAVE WITH YOUR OWN.

People have been reporting things inside Shakers for years.

Footsteps where no one is walking.
Voices where no one is speaking.
Touches when no one is standing close enough.

And experiences that are considerably harder to explain.

The woman in this video has hers.

On October 17, we turn the building over to you.

At midnight, the tours end.

The lights get lower.

The equipment comes out.

And for three hours, you’ll investigate the places inside our 1894 building where guests, employees and guides have reported things they still can’t explain.

Ghost Hunting 3.0
October 17 • Midnight–3 AM
The ONLY one of 2026.

We don’t promise the dead will make themselves known.

The more unsettling question is what you’ll do if they do.

Advance reservations required.
