Have a historical ghostly experience at Milwaukee’s haunted bar for the Shakers Ghost Tour. The building that is now Shaker’s Cigar Bar, located in the Walker’s Point Area of Milwaukee, was built in 1894 and has a long history as a Schlitz Brewery cooperage house, a bottling line for the ABC Soda company, a speakeasy in the 1920s, and even a brothel.
Tour the historic building, have a cocktail, Shakers Ghost Ale, Shadow People Lager, or absinthe, and hear the stories of the horrific happening at the most haunted bar in Milwaukee. You can even spend a night in the haunted penthouse and sleep in the Dead Hooker’s Bed, where fewer than 10% of visitors are brave enough to spend the whole night.
Shaker’s offers several tour options:
Shakers Ghost Tour – The original tour
Shakers 2.0 – A longer, grittier version of the original tour, includes speaking to the spirits with divining rods
Shakers Ghost Hunting 3.0 Tour – A 3-hour paranormal investigation lead by Shakers tour guides, including the use of digital voice recorders (for capturing EVPs), infrared thermometers, EMF detectors, divination rods and more ghost hunting equipment.
