Overview

Industrial chic event venue, featuring a lovely summer rooftop bar.

Taking over from Good City Brewing in 2025, Wayfinder MKE brought along a tiki-inspired rooftop bar to the heart of Milwaukee's vibrant East Side. And while the downstairs restaurant will shift into an event venue during 2026, the rooftop will be open to all for sips and views from May to October.

Charming and laid-back, the rooftop terrace faetures social seating, lush greenery, a cool and mural decorated bar, as well as breathtaking views of Milwaukee’s East Side.

The rooftop bar serves plenty of tropical cocktails, frozen drinks, beer, and wine. And while there is no food service (some snacks available), you can bring in take-out from your favorite local spots.

With a laid-back yet lively atmosphere, The Rooftop at Wayfinder is the perfect spot to enjoy sunny afternoons and evenings with friends, filled with tropical vibes and island flavors.
