The guided tour is limited to the Shaker’s Bar property, including all floors of the building and basement. The history, artifacts, and stories of hauntings are truly fascinating, though I did not personally witness any paranormal activity during my visit. Our guide, Joe, was awesome - very welcoming, knowledgeable, and fun! Overall, this tour was a lot of fun and learning the history of this Milwaukee gem was very exciting.

Elizabeth was our guide. She was fun and knowledgeable . Food and drink was wonderful. Loved Nina our server and the man at the cigar bar. God I wish I could remember his name but he gave me a very special book of matches. Thanks for that again . I will be back for the other tours.

I mean, the place is amazing, but the tour was kinda dumb. And on the website it said it was half the price than we actually got charged.
