Historic Downer Avenue is one of Milwaukee’s most popular East Side business districts known for its great dining, shopping, movies, and annual events. We love taking walks to Downer Avenue for lunch or dinner and for small grocery trips when we run out of something. Sendik’s has great produce and it’s a really cute corner grocery store, family owned and operated since 1929.

Entertainment & Nightlife
If you're a baseball fan, even if you aren't a Brewers fan...this stadium is one you will want to see in person.
Pro Tip: try shuttling into the stadium to save on parking costs. Most bars just require you to purchase a drink to ride the shuttle in and back. Some bars that offer this are: Saz’s State House, Steny’s Tavern & Grill, Spitfires, The Brat House Shorewood, Jack’s American Pub and so many more! Links cannot be shared in Airbnb Guidebooks but you can go to the Brewers website under American Family Field Shuttle Services for an up-to-date list.

Oriental Theatre is a theater in Milwaukee, Wisconsin operated by Milwaukee Film. The theater was built and opened in 1927 as a movie palace with East Indian decor. It is said to be the only movie palace to incorporate East Indian artwork. Designed by Gustave A. Dick and Alex Bauer, the theater has two minaret towers, three stained glass chandeliers, several hand-drawn murals, six bigger-than-life Buddhas, dozens of original draperies, eight porcelain lions, and hundreds of elephants. The Oriental Theatre has been showing independent and art films, as well as a few blockbuster Hollywood films.
The theater is the world record holder for continual showings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It has hosted the film as a Saturday midnight movie since January 1978.
In 2005, the theater was dubbed one of the "10 Theaters Doing It Right" by Entertainment Weekly.
In 2016, local artists oversaw the installation of a new street art destination in the alley behind the Oriental Theater, and named it the Black Cat Alley. As a part of the Black Cat Alley installation, French artist MTO painted a large mural of a green frog entitled "MTO's Bug" on the south wall of the theater, facing Kenilworth Avenue. The theater building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2023 and just recently went through a huge 4 phase renovation process, between 2018-2021, replacing seat cushions, theater carpeting, upgrading lighting fixtures, adding more wheelchair spots in the West theater to improve accessibility and so much more!
