WHere National Meets water.

Welcome to The Cooperage. We are glad you are here.

Dating back to the late 1800’s, The Cooperage’s home was just that, a Cooperage. With over a century of history, we wish these walls could speak. From barrel making, to race car frame manufacturing, to bootlegging, to a Salsa nightclub, The Cooperage is now a hub for music, love, and friendship.

The team at The Cooperage brings together a wealth of knowledge from all walks of life. Emily, with a background of non-profits events and Mitch, coming from fine-dining, started Pioneer Catering Co. in 2014 serving delicious fare and cocktails in backyards and venues around Milwaukee. When the opportunity came to open The Cooperage in 2018, we envisioned a space where we would enjoy hanging out. Great food and cocktails, listening to music with friends, and welcoming everyone into a unique and beautiful room.

We welcome you to create lasting memories with us in the heart of Milwaukee.
