Bad Moon Saloon
"Is that place a scary biker bar?!"
Do we like spooky stuff? Yeah, who doesn't? Halloween is our favorite.
Are we biker friendly? Yeah, Milwaukee is the home of Harley-Davidson!
So are we a scary biker bar? HELL NO. We hate when people try to categorize us because it makes us seem like we're catering to a specific audience ....and that couldn't be farther from the truth. Our doors are open to EVERYONE who knows how to act like a kind and decent human. And if you have a problem with that, you're so lucky that Milwaukee has hundreds of other establishments that you can go to instead.
​
If you really need a definition - our aesthetic is a biker-disco-divey-punk bar. Say that five times fast after a shot of Malort. We like celebrating the makers and creators in our community and love bringing people of all walks of life together. We also have a vast whiskey selection and really cheap beer. And have you seen our backyard? IT'S HUGE. Bad Moon sits on about a one acre lot. Every year we host a Motorcycle Swap Meet, Vintage Flea Markets, Drag & Burlesque Shows, a Chopper Show, a Plant Fair, a Record Swap, and so much more. Check out the "Upcoming Events" tab or our Instagram page to see what's happening soon!
​​
Top all this off with a wide variety of beers and seltzers (including NA's!), a decent cocktail (depending on who's working if we're being totally honest), a cozy atmosphere, pull tabs, gambling machines, a pool table, dart board....claw machines where you can win a fantastic pair of boobs....monthly trivia & bingo nights, monthly book club, shake of the day, or shake for a shot, a wonderfully strange cast of bartenders...hell, Jason Momoa might even drop in. Bottom line is even we don't know what to expect on any given night under the Bad Moon. So come in and see for yourself!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you serve food?
No, Bad Moon does not have a kitchen, however, you are welcome to bring in food from another establishment. In the immediate area - there is Scotty's Pizza, Botanas II Mexican, and various restaurants on Layton Ave including Layton Fruit Market.
Are you pet friendly?
Yes! Our backyard is fully fenced in for your dogs to play in! Of course, we just ask that you pick up after your pet responsibly. We ask that when indoors, your dog stays on a leash out of respect for our other patrons.
Where can I park?
Bad Moon has a parking lot. Additionally, street parking is available.
Do you have live music?
Given our residential location, we do not allow bands to play outside out of respect for our neighbors. However, we will occasionally have local bands play in house. Bad Moon does not have a designated space or professional sound system, so live music is very rare. Please check our social media pages and the Upcoming Events tab to see if there are any live shows scheduled.
I have a drink chip, what can I get with it?
Lucky you! Drink chips have up to a $5 value. Your friendly bartender is available to help you make your selection.
Are you hiring?
