We've been trying to make it here for a few years but we either can't find any parking near there or run out of time. We went and had lunch at Comet Cafe and decided to walk down to Black Cat Alley. I'm so happy we did, it was absolutely beautiful with such a cool variety of different art throughout.

Small but mighty.. I always love an art filled alley so this was in the must stop list while in Milwaukee. Various pieces throughout the alley with a mix of subjects and styles. Super cool that the area allows these artists to thrive here.

Great little spot for art lovers. Easy to find, but very small. Literally, an alley. You can walk through it, view every piece of art & take photos...all in under 10 minutes. The surrounding area has eateries for all tastes. Walkable neighborhood nearby, too.

One of the most amazing places I've seen on my adventures. The artwork is absolutely incredible and the vibe, it's... magical! I can't wait to return.

This open-air alley is filled with rotating murals, bold color, and great energy. It’s the kind of place where you can take your time wandering, snapping photos, and noticing new little details in the art. Each piece feels intentional and expressive — definitely more than just “street art,” it’s a creative experience. We visited on a weekday and had plenty of room to walk and take pictures without crowds. No wait, no tickets needed — just show up and enjoy. It’s an easy add-on if you’re exploring the East Side or grabbing coffee or food nearby.

If you love art, this is a great alley to go. Plenty of cafes around. A good place to spend an afternoon

Good part of town to walk around, especially this hidden alley of creativity. We need more of these places. Promotes diversity of thought and expression in a non-combative format.

Very cool place to check out cool art. Drivers don’t know where to drop so need a little navigation.
