Riverwest Tavern
Even without smoking, this establishment will manage to hold its own (albeit begrudgingly) through the ban.

The Cactus Club
One of the city's haziest bars and music venues goes smokeless next week. Is losing that ambiance a bad thing?

Linneman’s Riverwest Inn
Marty and Jim are not your typical bar owners, and Linneman's is not your typical bar. The reason why Marty is confident that business will continue to come is that the establishment is a music venue first, and a neighborhood bar second.

Regano’s Roman Coin
For me, Regano’s Roman Coin on Brady Street means several things: Christmas lights year round, regulars at all hours of the day, chili cook-offs, $1 mystery shots and smoke.

Dale’s of Milwaukee
Over the next two weeks, the staff at TCD checks in at some of our favorite taverns to see how people feel about the idea of a smoke-free city, starting with Dale's of Milwaukee. While some count the days until July 5, Dale fears a drop in business and a spike in maintenance costs.

Welcome new neighbors with new development
Low-income housing is not a bad idea, it's just had a lot of bad press. The misconception that affordable housing automatically equates to crime is an assumption that is both unfair and uninformed.
