Our status as a capital of tavern culture began early. Milwaukee, in fact, had corner bars almost as soon as it had corners. Schauss’s saloon, pictured here in 1895, was typical. Dominating the corner of Eighth and Burleigh, it was owned by a German family and attracted working-class Germans from the immediate neighborhood.

Schauss’s saloon was one of nearly 1,700 taverns crowding the city in the late 19th century.
