Introducing Peacock Lounge.

This is where downtown Milwaukee comes to see and be seen. A space for a quick drink before a show, a nightcap after a long day, or a meeting before somewhere else entirely. Every guest belongs here.

The signature social gathering space at High Stakes by Bartolotta, and the next evolution of Bartolotta hospitality. Designed by Jay Franke, Peacock Lounge is wrapped in deep peacock blue, warm brass, and antique mirrors, an Art Deco world built for connection.

Downtown Milwaukee is raising its own bar. Peacock Lounge is here to help set it.

Opening summer 2026 at High Stakes by Bartolotta.

Bastille Days brings out the very best of what makes The Bartolotta Restaurants special: teamwork, tradition, and a shared love of hospitality. Every year, multiple teams come together from Bartolotta's Lake Park Bistro, Downtown Kitchen, and Bartolotta Catering at The Italian Community Center, each bringing their own talents to one shared celebration.

It's early mornings, long prep lists, and a whole lot of teamwork behind the scenes, but that's exactly what makes days like this so special. When our teams come together, it feels like family: the same spirit that's been at the heart of The Bartolotta Restaurants since our very first table in Wauwatosa over 30 years ago.

Come see what One Team Bartolotta looks like in action, we're out there celebrating right now!

Joey Gerard's - A Bartolotta Supper Club's very own Chef Connor McNeil was spotted on CBS 58 this past week to discuss his participation in Unwrapped MKE, a truly special evening where culinary artistry meets purposeful giving. Chef Connor will be among an esteemed group of chefs transforming McDonald's ingredients into thoughtfully crafted gourmet dishes, all in service of something far greater than the plate.

SHARP Literacy's programming touches the lives of nearly 8,000 students each year, cultivating literacy, confidence, and curiosity through STEAM education and summer learning in underserved communities. We couldn't be more honored to have Chef Connor at the table
