✅ Join us at one of the most iconic historic spots in the entire city! Opened in 1908, the Holler House is the nation’s oldest sanctioned bowling alley and one of Milwaukee’s most beloved treasures.
✅ Listen to owners Cathy & Tom share their amazing stories of their long family history operating this storied corner pub. Also, learn more about the historic Lincoln Village neighborhood.
🎳 BOWLING
Optional bowling is available from 1:30-3:30 pm. The cost of bowling is covered by the MHC (but please look to tip the pin boy a couple of bucks). No one is going to bowl a whole game - rather, the intent is to have people throw a few balls each to say that they had the experience of bowling at the Holler House. 4-6 people at a time can rotate down to the basement twin alleys. And even if you don’t wish to bowl, you still should go down to watch a couple of frames.
