I don't know what to make of this place. I went there on a whim with some friends on a Saturday around 11pm and it was like a morgue! They have a sweet internet jukebox but the volume is set so low it's not worth the high price to play it. According to the bartender many genres of music are blocked as well. What's the point? They have a photo booth that is too expensive for what you get... a free shot of cheap house booze if you give them one of the photos. As a neighborhood bar, they're trying to hard be something they're not. Drinks are overpriced and although the bartender denied it, my shot of Jose Cuervo was definitely watered down. I don't recommend this place. The atmosphere stinks, and they water down their liquors. It's a definite RIP OFF.
Nothing fancy about the place just good o'l oldfashsioned atmosphere where people come to relax, party, enjoy themselves. Mixed groups, all ages, bi, gay, lesbian, straight. Packer game(s) beer bust/with sunday drink specials from open to close. They even offer free pool table & darts from noon to 7pm on Sundays. Excellent underwear parties once per month along with their Full Moon parties. Finally a place where I can go and be myself without having to kiss up to someone's ass! No problem parking, same as most bars, street parking, but within a secure neighborhood. I'm an out of towner, & have visited other places in the Metro Milwaukee Gay community & received rotten treatment from the owner(s).
My husband and I travel for business. This bar is close to the airport so we decided to give it a try. We came in on May 26 and expected the place to be packed with attitude queens and staff who didn't care much less make a decent cocktail. We were wrong!! It was packed but with the friendliest folks we've ever met! Even though the bartender (I think he said he was the manager?) was very very busy taking care of customers, he took the time to get to know us and introduce us to our neighbors. We had an excellent time. We've never been to a more friendly place where the staff and customers really are interested in each other.
In short, we'll be back and we're recommending City Lights to our associates who travel in the midwest. If the bartender or manager is this much fun we can't wait to meet the rest of the people! Excellent drinks!
No Clicks! Friendly bar staff, entertaining, good service, nice little patio, thu it could use some trees or flowers to spruce it up a bit. Nice lil' bar. This place has an Underwear Party every month that I've been attending regularly and it's a blast. The men is mixed in age groups. They also have a Full Moon Party every month. not only do I get to see some nice Ass!, but then I also get 2-4-1 drinks on a Saturday Night just for showing my Ass off! Now who does that? I attended their Best Buns Contest last week, took 2nd Place, Fun- Fun! Most bars in Milwaukee have their White Party on New Years Eve, this Place is having it in July, that's so cool! The first White Party that I'll be attending in this state during the Summer, where as I enjoy it by not freezing.
So, what do you say?
