In the heart of Milwaukee’s Walker’s Point, the M&M Club was more than a gay bar — it was the city’s beating queer heart. Opening in the 1970s, it became a cornerstone of Wisconsin’s LGBTQ nightlife, famous for its drag shows, disco lights, and everyone-welcome energy that bridged generations.
Long before Pride flags hung in storefronts, M&M gave queer Milwaukee a home — a place to dance, connect, and be seen without apology. Its brick façade and neon sign became a beacon through decades of change, surviving into the 2000s as one of the Midwest’s longest-running gay bars.
