The Vault Has the View
Sip a Prohibition-style cocktail while enjoying a panoramic view of Downtown.
Downtown riverfront bar Vault is designed to make you want to do one thing – go outside. The renovated second-floor space in the Associated Bank River Center Market – adjacent to The Rep’s new Powerhouse Theater set to debut next fall – features a comfortable U-shaped bar.

Drinks are the best bets here, with classic and Prohibition-era cocktails among the offerings. A curved wall of floor-to-ceiling windows leads to the pièce de resistance, where you’ll want to spend as much time as possible: a terrace 50 feet above the Milwaukee River. The views are expansive and breathtaking from any seat, table or cushioned sectional. This is one patio you don’t want to miss.
Open Tues-Sun, 111 E. Kilbourn Ave.
