Harbor Room — Restaurant in Milwaukee

I went to the bar last September 2023 after my son had passed away. I had been up for almost 72 hours straight as I was staying by my son's bedside during his hospice and when he finally passed. I needed to put on a good buzz. They had no problem giving me strong drinks and as I always do, I give great tips. They were fine with that, until I fell asleep on their patio.

Keep in mind that it is usually only a cash bar, but they do have an ATM...
