Milwaukee's Most Haunted Brunch Spots

Haunted Brunch Restaurants in Milwaukee, Wisconsin

1. The Wicked Hop (thewickedhop.com)

The building the Wicked Hop is located in is the oldest building in the Third Ward, built in 1875. You’ll hear about some frightening paranormal encounters people have had in the building on the tour. Besides ghosts, the building is also now known for The Wicked Hop’s killer bloody marys, which they claim are “Milwaukee’s best.” Their menu is filled with brunch classics– egg benedict, Belgian waffles, biscuits and gravy, French toast, and breakfast burritos, just to name a few.

📍 Brunch served 9am–3pm | Patio & indoor seating available

2 .Milwaukee Public Market (milwaukeepublicmarket.org)

We start our tour right outside the front (Water St.) doors of the market and it’s a great place to grab lunch because there’s so many options. These include the St. Paul Fish Market, Thief Wine Shop & Bar, Foltz Family Market, Anodyne Coffee Company, C. Adam’s Bakery, Margarita Paradise, The Green Kitchen, Thai-namite (their sister restaurant is a haunted Brady Street location!), Aladdin, the new Pat’s Rib Place, and West Allis Cheese & Sausage Shoppe. On the Bus is a great option if you are looking for vegan food, Kehr’s Candies will satisfy your sweet tooth, and the outdoor Draft Patio sells beer in summer. They have indoor seating and bathrooms on the second floor as well as patio seating, or take it to the nice little riverside park across the street.

📍 Open Sundays 10am–6pm | Patio & indoor seating available

3. Blue Bat Kitchen & Tequilaria (bluebatkitchen.com)

Definitely the place to go if you like tequila- they have 160 different kinds, so you can get a

really good bloody maria or margarita here. Their “global brunch” includes churro pancakes,

chilaquiles, and banana fritters. Right off of Water Street, their patio is right on the Milwaukee

River, the perfect place to drink tequila and reflect on mysteries like the Lake Monster sightings

that occurred in this river in 1890.

📍 Opens at 11am Sunday, patio and indoor seating.

4. Tre Rivali (trerivalirestaurant.com)

This place is also on the Third Ward’s former “Commission Row,” which was a bustling outdoor market place (and where a lot of bootlegging took place during Prohibition) that we talk about on the tour. Tre Rivali describes themselves as “modern Mediterranean,” and their brunch menu includes Greek yogurt, avocado toast, pancakes, and the classic brunch casserole known as hoppel poppel.

📍 Brunch served 9am-2pm on Sunday, patio and indoor seating.

5. Cafe Benelux (cafebenelux.com)

We also talk about this corner on the tour because it was a notorious mafia hang out tavern run

by August Palmisano aka “Palmy.” You’ll hear about Palmy’s loud last day in 1978. Nowadays,

Cafe Benelux offers food in the BElgium- NEtherlands-LUXembourg style. Their brunch

speciality are omelets and a nice variety of different flavored mimosas. Their frites cone with

dipping sauce is recommended. Their vegetarian options are marked with a circled letter V.

📍 Brunch served 8am-3pm on Sunday, patio and indoor seating
