About Lion’s Tail Brewing Co.: Lion’s Tail was born from the dream of a passionate home-brewer to one day have a taproom where he could share his love for quality craft beer with more than just his family and friends. Alex’s obsession for brewing beer grew stronger as the space available in their basement to do it continued to shrink. After months of planning, Alex and Kristin Wenzel were finally able to make their dream a reality when they opened the doors to Lion’s Tail Brewing Company in November of 2015.

About Wolski’s: Wolski’s Tavern was opened in 1908 by Bernard Wolski. His three sons ran the bar for about sixty years. In 1973 Bernard’s great-grandsons Michael and Bernard Bondar purchased it from their third cousin. Their younger brother Dennis joined in once he turned 18. Michael retired, but Bernard and Dennis still own it today.
Wolski’s is inconspicuously located on Milwaukee’s lower east side. We have a pool table, dart boards, free popcorn, and a covered patio. We’ve become known for our “I Closed Wolski’s” bumper stickers, which end up posted all over the world. Stickers are earned, not purchased, and require a late night at the bar.
