Best Live Music Bar - Centanni
218 N. Water St. Milwaukee, WI 53202
414-221-6565
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. Owned by Giovanni (yes, the very same who owns the popular restaurant by the same name) and Giuseppe Safina, Centanni features live music on most nights and attracts a mix of tipsy North Shore elite and downtown socialites. 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.
