Shepard Express held their Old Fashioned Fest at the Shrine on Wisconsin Avenue. We arrived early to get a parking spot. Muffin pans were part of the goodie bag and held 6 sample cups of Old Fashioned from various bars and restaurants scattered throughout the Milwaukee area. All vendors used bourbon, whiskey, or brandy from Great Northern Distilling, Stevens Point, Wisconsin. Delicious!Veggie trays, cheese and sausage platters, and fruit platters were restocked. A separate room was available for VIP ticket holders. My favorite was an apple flavored Old Fashioned from Clementines Bar in Bay View. Super fun, but bring a designated driver!!

Cool, historic building. We went to an event here, and it was cool to be able to walk through the building and read about some of the history. The basement is a smoking (cigar) lounge.

This is an outstanding venue. It is an amazing place to hold a wedding, business event, quinceanera, or family event. The building is stunning and the food is amazing. The chef is top notch. They also offer paid tours. This is a must see when in Milwaukee.
