Venue Spotlight: The Wiggle Room
Bay View has no shortage of bars with personality, but The Wiggle Room is one of the neighborhood’s most charming. It is a vinyl-forward listening bar with warm lighting, hand-crafted cocktails, and a collection of Japanese whisky.
This is where you go when you want a place that sounds as good as it looks. The Wiggle Room treats music like an art form: curated DJs, themed vinyl nights, deep-cut album sessions, and an atmosphere tuned for people who love good records, good drinks, and good company.
There’s no rush, no roar, no “Bay View chaos evening.” It’s a bar that invites you to sit, sip, listen, and stay awhile.

Why We Picked It This Week
December in Milwaukee calls for warm spaces, mellow grooves, and places that offer something different than the standard holiday madness. Wiggle Room checks every box. It’s a perfect hideout for good music and winter-friendly vibes.
Kick back with a cocktail, catch a DJ spinning deep cuts, and let the night slow down.
