On the town: Are you screaming for a bachelorette party?
Water Street bars like McGillicuddy's and Trinity, dance clubs like Decibel or Bootleggers and of course the token piano bar Lucille's are constantly welcoming hordes of ladies out to celebrate fleeting moments of freedom. That's essentially what a bachelorette party is. Just like the comparable bachelor party, bachelorette parties represent one final fling and a chance to do anything and everything the bride desires.

On the town in Milwaukee: The Mad Planet eclipses traditional dance clubs
I started stacking Mad Planet's appeal as a night or dance club up against the other spots around town. And after careful thought and deep consideration, one chief conclusion came striking through: Mad Planet is nothing like the other dance clubs in Milwaukee.

Is this the year for "Anti-Valentine's Day?"
The "Anti-Valentine's Day" craze begs the question, does Valentine's Day have to be a love-it-or-hate-it kind of holiday? If you're single, do you automatically throw any lover's sentiment to the wind with a scoff and a "Hallmark holiday" quip?

Tragedy strikes Tiffany (from Las Vegas Hooters)
Yesterday, OnMilwaukee.com ran a story about 22-year-old Tiffany Marciniak, a cocktail waitress at the Hooters Casino in Las Vegas who grew up in Milwaukee. Last evening, I received an e-mail from a friend of Marciniak's who said that she had been in a terrible car accident 10 days ago and was severely injured.

"Hooters Girl" flies coop for Las Vegas
For anyone, moving from Milwaukee to Las Vegas would be culture shock. When Tiffany Marciniak did it in January 2006, having the same job -- even the same skimpy-meets-sporty uniform -- made the transition a little smoother.

Over the years, the space beneath Beans & Barley hosted a variety of nightclubs. Once again, three Milwaukee guys reinvent the place, this time with not one but two new ventures: a dance club called Decibel and DeepBar, a vodka lounge.
