Walker's Point
A neighborhood in Milwaukee
Walker's Point has shifted over the past two decades from an industrial district into one of Milwaukee's denser live-music corridors. Caroline's Jazz Club owner Caroline Rubitsky has noted that when she opened, the area was still quiet with abandoned factories and warehouses, but it has since become a walkable neighborhood with restaurants, bars, venues, and art galleries. Caroline's Jazz Club, open since 2000 at 401 S. 2nd St., is a cornerstone of the neighborhood's music identity. Wednesday nights feature open blues jams and Thursday nights open jazz jams, with Friday and Saturday nights reserved for bands. It remains one of only a few jazz clubs left in Milwaukee, operating inside a building that opened in 1880. Anodyne Coffee Roasting Co., at 224 W Bruce St., is a certified-organic roasting facility and cafe that also serves beer, wine, and canned cocktails while hosting live music and events. Live music is held Tuesday through Sunday nights. The neighborhood also holds Freight 38, LaCage NiteClub, Sabbatic, Shaker's Cigar Bar, Station 1846, The Cooperage, The Vieux, and Vendetta Coffee Bar, though specific details about their music programming could not be verified from available sources.
