ART BAR Riverwest


This is the coolest place I have been to in a long time. Art Bar is a very fun place to have a beverage. Not really a place to eat, they do have snacks but I would hang here before and or after dinner. The local art on the walls for sale is interesting and actually the best I have seen in a while. The neighborhood is a fun up and coming place that has long held the title of cool, it is just that not every one knew it. The crowd is diverse and interesting. Bartenders are hip, young yet know their craft. We went when it was not too busy. We LOVE ART BAR.

Centro Cafe RiverWest Milwaukee Wi



Here is the thing, Centro Cafe is an amazing gem. It is a small space, there will be lines..but it is worth it. I started with the Rocket Salad; arugula with lemon herb vinaigrette and shaved parm. My main course was Capellini Al Pomodoro. Very good! Fresh tomatoes, basil, garlic and olive oil. I had a side of spinach, sauteed spinach in evoo, garlic and lemon. The bread was crusty, warm and soft on the inside. Good wine by the glass list too. The only down side was it is a small space and it is noisy. The service is attentive and caring. The circuses can be interesting because of the close quarters. Diner23 gives this place 4 for food and 4 for circuses.
