Summary
Shaker’s Cigar Bar in Milwaukee has built a reputation that goes well beyond food, drinks, and cigars—one shaped by a past that doesn’t seem to stay in the past.
The property itself has a long and complicated history. The land was once a cemetery before becoming a Prohibition-era speakeasy and brothel with ties to Al Capone. That alone raises questions—but it’s what continues to be reported inside that keeps those questions alive.
Disembodied voices. Footsteps with no one there. Objects that don’t stay where they’re left. Some encounters seem tied to specific figures—a young girl near the bathrooms, a woman upstairs—while others are harder to define, especially in the basement, where many describe a presence that feels distinctly out of place.
Renovations uncovered human remains, adding another layer to an already uneasy history. But for those who spend time inside Shaker’s, the activity isn’t something confined to stories or rumors—it’s something people say they’ve experienced firsthand.
So what is really going on inside Shaker’s Cigar Bar? Today on The Grave Talks, a conversation with Shakers Cigar Bar owner/founder, Bob Weiss.
