For Milwaukee drag queens and others in LGBTQ+ community, This Is It! was more than a bar

  • This Is It!, a beloved Milwaukee gay bar known for providing a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community, abruptly closed its doors Sunday.
  • Many regulars expressed shock and sadness, emphasizing the bar's role as a second home and a vital platform for up-and-coming drag performers.

Must-Visit LGBTQ+ Bars

Walker&#x;s Pint

Self-proclaimed as Milwaukee&#x;s oldest lesbian bar, Walker&#x;s Pint owes its longevity to fantastic service, a strong community spirit and the bar&#x;s famed motto&#x; Be nice or leave. Elizabeth Bet-Z Boenning, who&#x;s owned Walker&#x;s Pint since , ensures it&#x;s a welcoming place for everyone and always stays true to its roots as a supportive community partner. Count on it for a friendly atmosphere and an always-strong beer list.

So expect a crowd during Packers games, and to see the Brewers, Bucks and area college teams on the screens. The Walker&#x;s Signal joint also has dartboards, a pool table and other bar games.
