In partnership with
January in Milwaukee is about finding the warm rooms that hold their heat. The kind of places where the windows fog up, the coats pile on the chair backs, and nobody is trying to impress anybody. Down by the airport, the wind cuts a little sharper and the streets get quieter, which makes a true neighborhood tavern feel even more like a refuge. Landmark 1850 is the move when you want history, not hype.
Spotlight: Landmark 1850 Inn
Why this place matters
175 years and counting! One of Milwaukee’s oldest taverns, this is one of those Milwaukee places that feels like it has outlasted every trend on purpose. Landmark 1850 carries the city’s working, traveling, south-side edge, steady, welcoming, and unbothered by what is cool this week. It’s a reminder that Milwaukee’s best nights often happen in rooms that have been doing the same honest job for generations.
“From locals to layovers - Everyone is family here!”
What to try
A whiskey and a beer, simple and winter-correct, no need to overthink it.
Pizza if you need something solid to anchor the night.
Friday fish fry energy, even if it’s not Friday, because the place wears that tradition well.

Back-Pocket Pick: Keep Holler House in your pocket for a follow-up night when you want something stubbornly old-school. A south-side tavern with bowling lanes in the basement and the kind of atmosphere you cannot fake.
Until next week, keep it local, stay warm, and follow the light into the rooms that still feel like Milwaukee.
