The Best Live Music Bars

Lucille’s

Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Two dueling pianos, play just about any song you want to hear at the center of this bar and grill. On any given weekend, it is standing room only. The bartenders are great, the food is even better. Artists come from around the country to play on the baby grands. Open Thursday through Saturday, bachelorette parties, birthdays, and just about any kind of group function that you can think of, join in on the merrymaking. The musicians love to roast the embarrassed guest of honor, making the night all the more magical.

A quaint spacious bar in York, Wisconsin is the epitome of the Northwoods.

Bowls of pretzels line the bar for patrons to munch on as they listen to some local bands serenade their ears. Every Sunday afternoon, this bar features music for free. In the summer months they host bands from their tiki bar outside, where you are close to horse shoes, softball fields, sand volleyball courts, and the rodeo.
