We field lots of questions about hall rentals, so here are some details that we can share:

Our hall is available for rental when we don’t otherwise have it filled with our own events. Our weekend rates are typically $250, for which you can utilize the hall for as long as you need it for on that day. Weekday rates will vary a bit based on what time you’re looking to rent, as well as what kind of event your hoping to host at Puddler’s. We will usually waive a hall rental fee when non-profits are utilizing the hall for fundraising events.

Can we bring in our own food? Yes, that’s not a problem. While we would love it if you’d cater your food through one of our partners (Foltz Family Market / Groppi’s), we do allow you to bring in food from anywhere.

Can we bring in our own drinks? NO, ALL beverages have to be purchased through our bar.

What’s your capacity? 80 is our maximum capacity. We can seat all 80 at tables, but that won’t give you a lot of room for walking about. We can arrange tables and chairs however you’d like.

Can I bring in a Band/DJ/Karaoke? Yes, you’re welcome to. Our bartenders have final say over volume, so if it’s at a volume that will jepardize our neighbors happiness, we may ask you to turn it down. All bands, DJ’s, and Karaoke must wrap up by midnight (although your party is welcome to continue until bar close). We have a PA(with mains and monitors) that can be used, but we do not supply sound support or microphones for bands.

Our party will have kids in attendance, is that ok? Yes, that’s fine. We do ask that anyone under 21 years old remain the the hall and not hang our in our bar area. While we welcome families for parties, we also recognize that our estabilishment is not an appropriate place for many parties for teenagers or high school graduations involving lots of teenage friends.

Can I decorate? Yes, but only painters/masking tape should be used to apply decorations to the walls.

What about glitter/confetti? Absolutely NOT. If you bring in glitter or confetti you will be chased out of the bar by an angry, broom wielding bartender.

Have additional questions, or would like to move forward with a hall rental? Just use the “Contact” form in the menu.

While we are happy to have you join us for drinks, we strive to do it in a safe manner for both our customers and employees. The following is our COVID safety plan, as approved by the City of Milwaukee.

I think we had a pretty successful first Packers game back last week. We’re going to be running it very similar to how we ran it last week (check out below for how we set things up). I’m adding an additional TV and a couple of tables on the South side of the building, so we can add a little bit of capacity. Order online here https://puddlershall.square.site

The Pack is Back, but this year is going to be a bit different. We obviously can’t have the big, rowdy crowds of seasons past, but we still want to provide you with a fun, safe, and belly filling experience. Here’s how that works in a COVID world:

Our capacity is still limited to 50%, which unfortunately means whether we have people inside or out, we can’t have more than 40 people. The good news for those 40 people is that we’ll be able to provide you with some amazing service. We’ve added additional outdoor seating and more TV’s to the experience. All indoor seating has spacing that exceeds 6′ from other tables and we expect those indoors to stay masked unless they are actively eating or drinking.

So far, the easiest way for us to ensure that we aren’t going to be exceeding capacity this coming Sunday will be by reserving your spot. Each seat costs $5 to reserve, but comes with a grilled meal. You do have to reserve an entire table, with some of them seating 2, 3 or 4. Below is a map showing where each table is (the green lines indicate where TV’s are/will be placed for watching the game).

Online reservation is availabe here: https://puddlershall.square.site/

This is the plan for this week (Packers vs Vikings, 9/13). As with all things 2020, it’s subject to, and probably will change.
