Wolski's Tavern is a family-owned bar located on the Lower East Side of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Wolksi's was founded in 1908 by Bernard Wolski.[1][2] The tavern was originally located on Brady Street, but currently resides on nearby Pulaski Street.[3] Since its founding, the bar has remained in the same family for four generations.[4]
Stickers
The bar is perhaps best known for its "I closed Wolski's" bumper stickers, which are given out to patrons who remain in the establishment until closing time. The stickers are found across Milwaukee and at locations around the world.[3][5] According to the current owner, the tradition began in 1973.[6][4]
