Bars & Recreation Brings Axe MKE Experience to NorthSouth Club
Milwaukee, WI — April 6, 2026 — Bars & Recreation announced that it will bring the AXE MKE experience into NorthSouth Club (230 E. Pittsburgh Ave.) in Walker’s Point, uniting two of its brands in a larger, more accessible setting.
As part of its continued evolution of experience-driven venues in Milwaukee, Bars & Recreation is integrating AXE MKE, one of its most recognizable social brands, into NorthSouth Club’s 12,000-square-foot space, which features deck curling, shuffleboard, expansive indoor-outdoor areas, and convenient parking.
The final day of operations at AXE MKE’s East Side location on Kenilworth will be April 26, with the experience reopening at NorthSouth Club on April 30. Reservations for the NorthSouth Club location will be available on a rolling basis, 30 days in advance.
The move creates a more dynamic, all-in-one destination where guests can experience multiple activities in a single visit, with more room to gather, play, and stay longer. It also reflects Bars & Recreation’s approach to building scalable, high-energy social venues across Milwaukee.
“AXE MKE has built something people genuinely connect with,” said David Poytinger, co-founder of Bars & Recreation. “Moving that brand to Walker’s Point gives it the space to grow while strengthening the overall experience we’re creating across our venues.”
Guests can expect the same AXE MKE energy and experience, now enhanced by a larger footprint, additional activities, and a more flexible social environment.
