Vnuk's Lounge

Just to note, for those looking for "Vnuk's", it has been reopened for a while under the name of "The Blue Pig" (although you can still see "Vnuk's" on the side of the building).  It is still a great, well-maintained, reasonably comfortable rock club with good sound and a nice selection of tap beers.  it's awesome to see a place like this thriving for so long within a pleasant residential area without people pitching a fit about the noise and crowds.

Dave Vnuk took a chance on my mediocre rock band so many years ago.  We played his little corner bar that had been in his family for years.  At that time the big rock club that Vnuk's would later become was probably just a dream of Dave's...but he made it happen.  And he was always true to my bands through the years.  No I wasn't always in the mood for the Metal bands that seemed to dominate the Vnuk's calendar but no matter what type of band was playing I knew I could stop in for a good time.  Now it seems that Vnuk's might be closed for good.  So I'm just taking this moment to remember the corner tap/rock palace that was home to many, many good memories.  Not only for me.  But for a lot of people from all over the world.  Vnuk's Lounge may never open again but for me it will always be there standing tall in the heart of Cudahy.  Rock on!

I'm always up for a road trip for a concert and Vnuk's is my favorite venue away from Chicago. I've been there a dozen times for shows since it seems to be the one place in the Milwaukee area to book my favorite hair metal bands or the smaller metal acts I like. Dave, the owner is a super sweet guy and is always friendly. The bar staff is usually really nice as well. They have a great selection of beer at prices much cheaper than what you find in Chicago and I like the over all set up. It's a smaller place with a bar, a pool table, and a stage area. It looks like they have remodeled it fairly recently so it's not a dive by any means even though it could be considered a corner bar. Every time I go there I find myself saying, why is this not in Chicago!  I LOVE VNUK'S!
