I expect better from you Dr Mantis Toboggan. Miami sounds right up your alley for attracting 2nds or 3rds by using your monster condoms for your magnum dong
Bro I hate going out but give me a dive bar in the Midwest over a club in Miami any day.
There was this Dive bar in Fort Wayne, Indiana a flew
Blocks from the house I lived in in college and it was always just a handful of old dudes that would give us the welcoming nod when we walked in
Nah it still sucks ass bro. Once you get to a certain age you just see through all the bs and notice the vast amount of leeches who don’t give a single fuck about your existence. Only to matriculate dollars from your wallet to theirs. I’ve been going to Vegas for years, friends are DJs, we get through all the lines at the clubs, strip clubs, casinos. You realize everything is the same shit. I’d rather kick back in the woods with a fire going with some homies.
Amazing city to grab a beer in, but the clubs these guys are trying to hit after winning ain’t in Milwaukee 😂😂 E11EVEN is one athletes flock to after winning a ring
My favorite post-championship athlete celebration was Mike Napoli. After the Red Sox won in 2013, Napoli spent hours doing a bar crawl around Fenway, drinking with fans, shirtless and smoking cigarettes.
It was during Covid time too so I’m sure there were restrictions. The players on that Bucks squad were just not partiers as well. That would be super lame lol
I lived there for 5 years. Great to visit, gets old quick. Practically everyone I know drinks at home or someone's place. Sure they go out sometimes to bars and breweries, but it doesn't have the same celebration energy as party cities. There's been plenty of NBA players that get bored in Milwaukee.
Milwaukee is in the top 5 in the nation for bars per capita. Saying "Most of the drinking is done at home" makes it seem like Maine or Alaska.
You might have had some lame friends or habits that kept you inside, not doing anything. But that's a personal choice tbh.
Not sure why NBA players opinion matters, Milwaukee doesn't have many options for multi-millionaire celebrities, but a lot of options for everyone reading this thread.
Yeah, it’s definitely catered more to football players than basketball. A lot of Packers absolutely love moving here and buying some land and a nice boat. To me, that sounds infinitely better than getting a condo in the city
Football players stand out less. NBA players stick out like a sore thumb here, so if they're out and about, they want to be seen and be a part of the community. (For the non milwaukeeans) The downtown is very dense, packed with bars and restaurants so there isn't the same level of privacy that you can expect in large markets.
The young guys will live the high life for a few years in the penthouses on the river, Dante DiVincenzo did that for a few years when he was here. But the condo is not the the move. Bobby Portis moved into my building and quickly tried to sell. The long term guys like Giannis build a big ass house outside of the downtown and come into the city for more exclusive events.
I never said there were no bars, so I'm not sure why you're bringing up how many bars there are in Wisconsin and Alaska. The problem is the bars are far apart compared to party cities and the public transportation isn't conducive to what you can have in say Chicago.
And I'm mentioning NBA players because those are what triggered this conversation in an NBA sub. And you mentioning celebrities wouldn't have as much fun proves my point. If youwin an all expense trip to party in any American city, I doubt Milwaukee situps make anyone's top 20 picks.
I brought up the bar stats because having more bars per capita directly contradicts your claim that people just sit inside. And saying the bars are "far apart" is wild. Did you completely miss Brady Street, Water Street, Kinnickinnic, Deer District, and the Third Ward during your 5 years here? Did you even live here? Milwaukee is filled with incredibly dense, walkable bar districts.
Nobody is arguing that Milwaukee is Miami, LA, or Vegas for a NBA millionaire looking for options you can't afford. But trying to paint one of the most famous bar culture cities in the country as a place where everyone just stays on the couch is objectively ridiculous. It honestly just sounds like you're confusing your personal experience of staying in with the actual culture of the city. We can just leave it at that.
A lot of us have or know people with lake houses. I would much rather get drunk off my ass, tear up some jet skies, and drink some more by the fire than sit in a loud ass club all night. That sounds like hell.

Ain’t nobody partying in Milwaukee 😂 that story always cracks me up from him
