Lake Street Cafe

You wouldn’t know it to look at the place, but behind the family-style pizzeria and bar (with an outstanding selection of local beers), there’s a bit of nouveau sophistication. A cozy dining room, white linen, candles, a stupendous wine list, more than spectacular martinis — and a menu that includes a melt-in-your-mouth filet or fresh fish, served to order. Combine that with all fresh ingredients, and you’ve got the makings of a superb meal.

Serving California bistro-style fare and wood-fired pizzas complemented by a wide variety of specialty beers and wines by the glass. Extensive wine list. Received 2003-2008 Wine Spectator Award of Excellence. Children’s menu. Open for lunch Tues-Sat and dinner Mon-Sat.

Please come and join us.

After decades of dormancy, Schlitz is back and it’s here at Lake Street Cafe.

Schlitz’ owner, Pabst Brewing Co., is recreating the old formula, using notes and interviews with old brew masters to concoct the pilsner again. The maker of another nostalgic favorite, Pabst Blue Ribbon, it hopes baby boomers will reach for the drink of their youth, otherwise known as “The Beer That Made Milwaukee Famous.” They also want to create a following among younger drinkers who want to know what grandma and grandpa drank.
