Description

At the heart of Milwaukee's historic Water Street entertainment corridor, 144 E Juneau Avenue offers a unique opportunity to invest in a premiere entertainment district with rare licensure, and a long colorful history. Today's Silk On Water, formerly Art's Performing Center and Karl Ratzsch's Grand Prix, this vernacular-style building--situated between Water Street and the river--has long been a fixture of Milwaukee's downtown adult entertainment. The venue has operated as a tavern and gentleman's club from the 1960s to the present. Now, after over 50 years of ownership, the seller is entertaining offers!
