This
is
a
unique
drinking
establishment
for
Walker’s
Point,
or
what
some
people
call
the
Fifth
Ward.
The
current
trend
calls
for
a
craft
brewery,
an
independent
distillery,
an
ersatz
gourmet
restaurant,
or
a
place
left
over
from
the
clandestine
1980s
or
1990s.
Breaking
that
template,
Wall
Street
is
a
black
owned,
sultry
cocktail
bar
with
the
sounds
of
“sweet
soul
music”
filling
the
handsome
space.
Milwaukee
may
be
growing
up,
accepting
its
diversity
and
realizing
it
can
be
urbane
without
losing
its
roots.
That
beer
and
a
shot
town
may
be
long
gone.
Looking
like
more
like
a
model
from
Paris
or
New
York
City,
the
proprietor
Sharisse,
named
the
bar
after
her
mother
who
taught
her
finance
and
how
to
use
economic
investment
to
further
yourself
in
a
competitive
world.
Sharisse’s
presence
adds
class
and
panache
to
the
Wall
Street
Stock
Bar.
Less
of
a
South
Side
bar,
and
more
NYC
or
Paris,
the
Wall
Street
offers
an
array
of
delicious
mixed
cocktails
and
tasty
bites
to
eat.
Helping
to
tend
bar,
Naomi
greets
you
with
her
bubbly
personality
and
a
ready
smile,
making
everyone
feel
welcomed.
Prices
are
a
little
higher
than
the
typical
corner
tavern,
but
Wall
Street
pays
off
with
a
sophistication
lacking
from
most
places
in
Milwaukee.
It
reminds
me
of
when
Elsa’s
on
the
Park
first
opened,
breaking
the
mold
in
the
Cream
City,
bringing
Karl
Kopp’s
vision
of
a
cool
and
hip
Milwaukee
to
fruition.
Go
to
the
Wall
Street
Stock
Bar
and
support
the
“new
Milwaukee.”
It
isn’t
all
bar
dice
and
dem
and
dose
anymore.
