Third Street Tavern closing in downtown Milwaukee
MILWAUKEE — A Milwaukee bar and restaurant on a busy corner of downtown just east of Deer District is shutting its doors.
The Third Street Tavern first opened on the northeast corner of Dr. Martin Luther King Drive and Highland Avenue in 2018, taking over from previous tenant Cantina Milwaukee. But the business Tuesday said an ongoing dispute with their property’s owner left them with no choice but to permanently close the restaurant.
“Unfortunately, after over a year of pleading with the property owner to fix key infrastructure and safety issues, they wouldn’t come to the table with terms that allow us to properly manage and operate our business. It became clear that they were not interested in investing in the building or saving us as a tenant,” the business posted on their Facebook page Tuesday. The property owner could not be reached for comment.
Third Street Tavern was run by Cream City Concepts, which also owns Who’s on Third, Who’s on Layton, and Oak Barrel Public House.

Judge Michelle Havas sentenced Gladney to 29 years in prison on Friday, April 17. He was granted credit for more than a year’s time served and further sentenced to 14 years of extended supervision.
Arrested in Arizona after years on the run, court records show Gladney has also been ordered to pay the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office more than $1,800 for extradition costs.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
The shooting happened in May 2020. Investigators said Gladney was captured on video apparently arguing with the victim, his cousin, outside a Milwaukee convenience store near 21st and Meinecke.
“It’s all on video, and it’s devastating for that family,” the marshal on the case told FOX6 when Gladney was profiled on Wisconsin’s Most Wanted. “You have a family member that shot and killed another family member.”

Prosecutors said Gladney walked away but then returned with a gun pointed directly at the victim and shot him. The victim died from his gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital. Multiple bullet casings were found at the scene.
Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
