CelticMKE's Official Pre-Concert Restaurant: Leff's Lucky Town

Before the show, we highly recommend starting your evening at Leff’s Lucky Town, a beloved Wauwatosa staple known for its delicious food, laid-back atmosphere, and friendly service. Located just minutes from the CelticMKE Center, this neighborhood bar and grill serves up their famous Big Ass Pretzel, award-winning burgers, wings, and other tasty food. A perfect spot to start your Tosa experience before enjoying a great night of music.

CelticMKE's Official Post-Concert Bar: Draft and Vessel (Wauwatosa)

Keep the night going after the show with a stop at Draft and Vessel Tosa, our official post-concert bar partner.

Just a short stroll from CelticMKE Center (only a block away) and nestled within the village of Wauwatosa, Draft and Vessel brings unique beer to a unique space. It’s the perfect spot to unwind, whether with a pint of draft Guinness, craft beer, cider, seltzer, wine, or draft cocktail before heading home.

Testimonials and Reviews

"Surrounded by a wealth of Irish music history in the Ward Irish Music Archives, CelticMKE is an intimate listening room where the audience is attentive and invested in the music. As a performer, it felt like the crowd was right there on stage with us - electric. The staff and volunteers were brilliantly organized and giving of their time to myself and Pauline Conneely for our show. I can't wait for the next chance to play in this very special space." 

- Dave Curley, Multi-Instrumentalist, Singer & Dancer from Corofin, Co. Galway, Ireland

"What a lovely space. The stage is a nice size, but not overwhelming for smaller groups - with stars...stars as a backdrop! It's easy to connect with my audience here. A very warm, informal feeling in the place. But meanwhile, pro sound and hospitality. Five gold stars to this class venue."

- Shannon Heaton, Irish Traditional Flute Musician from Boston, MA
