Get Some Ink, Stay for a Drink
One of the most pleasantly unexpected things about Downtown Waukesha is just how pleasantly unexpected it is.
Our trendy district is home to an eclectic mix of attractions, from shops to art galleries, cafes, restaurants, and other unique boutiques. It shouldn’t surprise anyone, then, to learn that it’s also a destination where you can get the best brews and tattoos in the metro area.
