Razor and Star Bar coming to Milwaukee Street

Published May 23, 2008 at 12:00 p.m.

The Milwaukee Street nightlife scene crawls south across Wisconsin Avenue to the 600 block this summer when Roman Torres, co-owner of the old Fly Bar, opens Razor (a night club) and Star Bar (a lounge) at 631 N. Milwaukee St. The space is the former home of Barsamian Oriental Rugs.

Work is currently being completed on the two spaces, but signage is already up. Torres says the Razor side will be a true nightclub featuring electronica music and according to its Web site "sounds of the future." Star Bar, to the south, aims to be more chill and features a VIP area below and cozy booths and seating through out. Star Bar also will serve desserts.

Torres hopes to open "in the next several weeks."

Buffalo loves Milwaukee

Buffalo Rising, a city guide and online magazine in greater Buffalo, has a story today about Milwaukee`s Historic Third Ward.

Best Cathedral Sq. bar

There`s a different vibe on the east side of Downtown. While Water Street draws the "younger" drinking crowd and Old World 3rd Street attracts a lot of Bradley Center fans and theater-goers, Milwaukee Street and the area around Cathedral Square have emerged as another option for thirsty Milwaukeeans.

Smoke Shack opens

Slip inside the new Smoke Shack on Milwaukee Street in the Historic Third Ward, and you enter a world quite unlike anything else Downtown. Barbecue is the fragrance in the air. Recorded blues is the music in the room. And community is the style of dining.
