Gabrielle Sonnier Helps Reopen the Restaurant Gabrielle in Treme | Eater New Orleans
"When my parents attempted to reopen the restaurant in a reception hall called the Uptowner on Henry Clay Avenue near our home, they paid $700,000 for the property and business but quickly faced fierce opposition from neighbors concerned about parking, noise, and traffic; opponents also argued the Sonniers hadn’t followed the proper channels to open a full-time restaurant. We hired a lawyer and sought clarity from the city, but officials left us in limbo, and the tensions culminated in a public City Council hearing where signs in yards read “No Gabrielle.” In the end the Uptowner was denied restaurant status and could only operate as a catering business." - Allison Alsup
Had a great time listening to a "Blooze" band on a Sunday afternoon. Cash bar but great drink prices. No food. Parking is on the street, which can be challenging. Can't wait to go back

Good example of an old neighborhood tavern. Open since 1884. USA Today says it's the oldest bar in Wisconsin.

Great old neighborhood bar with full selection of cocktails and beer. Pleasant server and patrons.
A good stop for travellers, Thirsty for some old Milwaukee culture.
Street parking only.
