Mocha
124 W. Wisonsin Ave. Milwaukee, WI 53203
414-276-6242
Mocha brings a much needed caffeine buzz to downtown Milwaukee. If there's one thing the city lacks, it is places to go after the bars are closed or during the wee hours of the morning before the sun has risen. The problem stands out downtown, where too many locations are shuttered by 7PM. If everything goes as planned, Mocha will be a remedy to the problem, serving coffee, baked goods and sandwiches to hungry Milwaukeeans until 2AM. Mocha as one of the few places in the city where you can enjoy a good cup of coffee late. Mocha is in a prime downtown location. The bistro is Johnny Vassallo's take on the coffee shop. Vassallo is responsible for many of the other restaurants on that block including Mo's and Mo's Cucina. Come to Mocha to chat with a friend or work on a project. Hours: Open Mon 12am-2am, 6am-2am; Tue-Sat 6am-2am; Sun 6am-12am

Tangerine offers a wide selection of wine, and cocktails to enjoy while chatting with friends on either of the bar's two floors. House music pumps through the club, but lacking an actual dance floor. Tangerine is within walking distance of several other new Milwaukee upscale joints.
Centanni
218 N. Water St. Milwaukee, WI 53202

There's no refuting that the swingin' spirits of Frank, Dean and Sammy are hanging around this swanky and hip piano joint nestled in the fashionable Third Ward district.

Centanni features a wine list with vino by the glass and bottle, as well as a moderate selection of grappa, scotch, martinis and beer. Warm and sophisticated with its sand-colored walls, twinkling tea light candles and art-deco prints, the club is divided into two distinctive sections adjoined by a corridor lined with tall cocktail tables. Enjoy a lively conversation with friends on one of the vintage furniture in the foyer or take a twirl on the parquet dance floor in front of the baby grand piano.

The Safe House
773 N. Front St. Milwaukee, WI 53202
414-271-2007
This spy-themed restaurant/bar may have tourist written all over it, but at least the covert operations don't exist just to sell T-shirts. The people behind Safe House are really into their espionage mission -- holding James Bond screenings, taking pictures of themselves with the Safe House briefcase in locations all over the world, and talking in spy lingo. It's the rarest of places, a theme restaurant worth its salt. It certainly serves any cocktails a self-respecting secret agent would order -- just don't try the "shaken, not stirred" line. With a history of celebrity sightings and a fun atmosphere, this is the place for any aspiring 007.

Sporting a neo-urban ski lodge chic theme, Kenadee's is probably the only place in the city where you can sip a martini or sample the kitchen's haute cuisine while simultaneously taking in the ultra mod incandescence of the forefront "green room" all while sitting right underneath a light fixure made of antlers. Hours: Open Mon-Thu 5pm-2am; Fri-Sat 5pm-2:30am
BBC Bar & Grill

414-272-7263
Though the BBC Bar & Grill will probably never kick its reputation as a college pickup joint, the BBC has won many regulars who come from far beyond the East Side. The large, two-story tavern can actually be a great place to catch a live concert (second floor only), grab a greasy burger and fries, drink a beer (or 20, as many apparently do), watch a sports event or play a game of billiards. Hours: Open Mon 12am-2am, 11am-2am; Tue-Sat 11am-2am; Sun 11am-12am
