High above the noise and stress of the city, Blu Bar & Lounge is an oasis in the sky, a bar that’s like no other in Wisconsin. Order something special and savor the view – this will be an evening in the clouds you won’t forget.

Blu Bar & Lounge is located in the Pfister Hotel, one of the most beautiful and historic accommodations in Wisconsin. It’s located in the heart of downtown Milwaukee and it’s close to all the city’s top attractions.

It was built in 1893 with Wauwatosa limestone and cream city brick and it was something of a modern wonder, with amenities like fireproofing, electricity, and thermostat controls.

Like a fine wine, the hotel has aged beautifully. It remains a top hotel in the city, even after all these years. A 13-story tower addition was built in the 1960s, helping the building reach new heights.

You’ll want to take the elevator to reach Blu – you’ll find it on the hotel’s 23rd floor. Pass right by the second floor – rumors suggest that floor is haunted!

Spirits will be waiting for you though up on the 23rd floor. The bar serves up classic cocktails, sassy martinis, and an expansive wine selection. Live music takes place on Friday and Saturday nights.

But the entertainment that takes place every night is the view – the panoramic vista of the city and Lake Michigan is simply incredible. You may need a second martini to drink this scene in!
