As part of the Fall Series, we're also excited to partner with Jazz Unlimited, helping showcase the next generation of Milwaukee jazz. Throughout the season, exceptional high school musicians will have the opportunity to perform alongside some of the city's finest professional artists, creating unforgettable moments for audiences and young performers alike. Your Admission Includes • A pour of Secret Pouches, Kegel's Inn's new single barrel rye whiskey inspired by Great Grandma Kegel's Prohibition-era story • Live jazz from Milwaukee's premier musicians • Access to one of the city's most intimate listening rooms Throughout the evening, guests can also enjoy handcrafted Prohibition-inspired cocktails, late-night menu service, charcuterie boards, desserts, and the warm atmosphere that has made Kegel's Inn a Milwaukee institution for generations. Whether it's date night, celebrating with friends, or simply escaping the ordinary, After Hours offers something increasingly rare: a room where people gather to listen, relax, and experience live music the way it was meant to be heard.

Reservation Policy

Reservations Policy (Yep, You Can Plan Ahead!) 📅🍽️ Thanks for choosing to dine with us! Here’s the lowdown on how reservations work around here: 🍻Our Friday Fish Fry is one of our busiest traditions, so our full German offerings are limited on Fridays. You’ll still plenty of options like Fish Fry classics, Gourmet Loaded Brats, and our German Appetizers, but dishes like Boneless Duck, Pork Shanks, Wiener Schnitzel, Sauerbraten, and Goulash are served on other days. Thank you for your understanding — and we’re sorry for any inconvenience. ✅ We Take Reservations! – You can make a reservation for parties of 2–12 through our website or by calling us directly. Reservations are good for 90 minutes. For anything bigger, give us a ring—we’ll figure it out together. We also have a large party request form here - ⏰ Please Be On Time – No worries—we get it. Traffic, sprinklers, construction detours. Just give us a quick call. Otherwise, we hold your table for 15 minutes. 👥 Complete Parties Are Great! – We like to seat full groups, so try to make sure everyone’s here before we bring you to your table. 📞 Need to Cancel or Change? – No problem! Just give us a heads up at least a few hours in advance so we can open that spot for someone else. 🎶 Live Music Nights Fill Fast – If you’re booking on a night with tunes or events in Bootleggers Alley, reserve early—those tables go quick! 💡 Special Requests – Want a cozy corner, a high chair, or a spot near the accordion player (or far from them—we don’t judge)? Let us know when you book. We’ll do our best! 🍻 Walk-Ins Always Welcome – No reservation? No worries. We always leave room for walk-ins and bar seating. Plus, summer nights on the patio are worth the wait. Whether you’re planning ahead or just dropping by, we’re glad to have you. See you soon!
