As Milwaukee’s vibrant bar and restaurant scene continues to adapt and innovate, exciting new concepts are emerging. Among them is Third Street Tavern, poised to become a fresh neighborhood hotspot. Located at the former Cantina Milwaukee space at 1110 N Old World 3rd St., Third Street Tavern is gearing up to open its doors, offering a reimagined experience for local patrons. This transformation from a taco and tequila destination marks a significant pivot, designed to better resonate with the community and create a welcoming space for all.
Behind this exciting venture are Bobby Wiltgen of Cream City Concepts and Jack Roman. These experienced owners, also known for Who’s on Third and Oak Barrel Public House, have thoughtfully reconsidered the space to maximize its potential. Taking the opportunity to refine their vision, they’ve conceived Third Street Tavern to address the needs and preferences of their customer base more effectively. This strategic shift comes after careful evaluation of the location and a desire to create a more versatile and appealing venue.
“This period has presented its challenges,” shares Bobby Wiltgen. “However, it’s also provided us with a valuable window to thoroughly assess the space and develop a concept that truly serves our community.” This proactive approach underscores their commitment to delivering a relevant and enjoyable experience for Milwaukee residents.
