We had been having such a good time at At Random that we were in serious danger of NOT making it to Wolski’s in time to close it! However our Lyft managed to get us here about 15 minutes before last call. And the whole reason for the urgency? This is one of the last bars to close in Milwaukee each night, and you get a sticker if you’re still there then it’s time to kick everyone out.

Next time I’m in Milwaukee I’m going to have to get here earlier in the day when when it’s not so packed with sticker hunters, because this looks like a great dive bar but I wasn’t able to move around much. From where I was trapped I could see that there were at least 3 old-school (as in, real) dart boards and at least one pool table. There was also a patio but I was unable to see how to access it.

One thing I failed to mention is that our group was celebrating a birthday, and we all had face masks of the birthday girl that we had been wearing at each bar during our second round tonight, freaking people out. But by the time we got to Wolski’s we were tired of wearing them so were just carrying them in our hands. One of us unknowingly dropped one outside, and later out the window her husband noticed various people outside taking turns wearing, humping, and making out with his wife’s face. Sadly none of the photos turned out (too dark / too far away) but it still made for some good laughs.

I started with a Guinness just to make the first round ordering easy, then grabbed a Fixed Gear (amber ale) by Lakefront Brewery at last call.
