it’s ok
I remember bill as a bartender at triangle many years ago, and his best “ friend” Steve as a bartender at several gay locations too. Both seemed to me as nice people who liked to bartend. They opened a gay bar together called fluid , and it was very popular for the first 4-5 years . For some reason bill took over the bar , and the business did lose some business because of this. But fluid still does moderate business for many years when many other gay bars have closed. As for bartenders in a gay bar you should expect a “bitchy bitter one” because it is a GAY bar . And some people like to be served by someone like that in a GAY bar so get over it!!
There is love and support for our community!
People care about about people here and they care about our community!
best place to chill in Milwaukee!
Fluid is the bar I missed most when I moved away. The bar staff actively work to welcome people and the crowd is super friendly. This is the Cheers of Milwaukee gay bars. Great for happy hours, great for most late nights.
kind of like a double wide
It's a little dark and trashy... very strong drinks though and very nice bartenders. worth a pop in, but i wouldn't spend a night here.
previous review by gaynotsofriendly
Fluid is actually one of the, if not the, least pretentious gay bars in the entire city. From reading gaynotsofriendly's other reviews, it is evident that he's the one who's got the Miss Thang, stuck-up queenie attitude he whines about and it's probably why he didn't like Fluid (cuz no one would put up with his attitude).
Not so much
The crowd is a bunch of wannabe a-holes. There are very few down to earth people in that bar. Ms.Kitty aka Brian can be a bitch of a bartender at times. And the other bartenders have no personality at all period. The owner is aloof and acts like he can only be friendly to people he knows, instead of being friendly and nice to all the people that come in. Plus the owner messed over his ex business partner Steve who was a great asset and personality for that place. So no love at all for that place. It is clean and cozy, but it ends there. Wouldn't recommend that place to anyone.
My favorite bar
I have been to Fluid many times, and I have always found it to be a friendly, fun place. It's not a huge bar, but it's clean, the seating is comfortable, and the regulars are really nice. Drag queen bingo is a blast, too! I always feel right at home whenever I am at Fluid, and would definitely recommend it to others.
LOVED THIS BAR !
They make some of the best martinis in the entire STATE! Very friendly staff! Customers were also extra friendly.
