Description
**A Mixed Experience at Kruz Bar**
Kruz Bar, a spot that positions itself as an LGBT-friendly establishment, faces polarization among patrons. While some celebrate its welcoming vibe and commend attentive bartenders, including Evan, others criticize its lack of accommodations for veterans and individuals with disabilities. Complaints about the restroom facilities, noisy patrons, and an unwelcoming atmosphere linger. A particularly distressing incident involving a removal of patrons for dancing raised questions about inclusivity. Despite the varied experiences, many patrons appreciate the sense of safety and community, yet some feel disillusioned by the inconsistent treatment and overall ambiance at the bar.

I visited this bar, which prides itself on being LGBT-friendly, but as a woman, I found it to be quite unwelcoming. There are no locks on the women's restroom, so you have to have someone stand guard outside for privacy. Additionally, they don't check IDs at the door, and I noticed a lot of young people inside who probably shouldn't be served.
Evan is a dream! Live this bar. My go to for sure.
Evan was my bartender this evening for happy hour and he was fantastic! Very attentive to all the customers and had a great sense of humor. I really liked how he explained the special and recommended drinks for me. 10/10 will return, especially for that cutie!
Bobby, Gary and Tony are the bestest. Fast efficient and professional. Love these guys and the bar. So attentive and nice.
So I've been to many gay bars in Milwaukee and they are all so welcoming. We came to Kruz during Pride to celebrate. It was a beautiful night and everyone was having a good time. We're there for two hours. In the end, when a Latin song came on, two of my friends started to dance and that's when the issue happened. The owner (picture) came over and kicked us out. He said that my friends were a liability. If you've asked anyone who surrounded us, they would disagree. My friends were just having a good time and people around us watched it with glee. My two friends were dancing at the spot they were standing and didn't touch anyone or were obnoxious. He also lied and said that my friend called him the B word, which at least 8 of us (including strangers) can vow didn't happen. The owner fits right into the narrative of how hateful our community is. The table next to us was shocked watching everything unfold. They left at the same time we did. Not since at a straight bar back when I was in college, I was so humiliated in front of my friend, but even feel more humiliated for the owner. How do we preach love and inclusivity if a part of our community still has so much hatred that came from a personal agenda?
