AlwaysHappyHour.com to Co-Sponsor the new Martini Bar at PrideFest Milwaukee.

HUGE news for us and our friends and our clients! We’ve just signed an agreement to be a co-sponsor of the first-ever MARTINI BAR at this year’s PrideFest in Milwaukee. We’re very excited to help bring what is an obviously long overdue delightful addition to the only LGBT Pride festival in the US on a permanent festival grounds.

Many folks have commented about what fun PrideFest could be with something more than just beer and wine service, and AlwaysHappyHour.com is thrilled to join the team with Gordy Barrington Law Offices and Effen Vodka to promote the first martini bar at this year’s PrideFest. With all the buzz surrounding the martini bar at last year’s SummerFest, this was sure to follow and is sure to be a hit.

The Martini Bar will feature a half dozen specialty Effen Vodka and Henricks Gin martinis, as well as Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum, served at the Dance Pavilion just north of the main gate entrance to PrideFest. AlwaysHappyHour.com will provide our fun and unusual cocktail shakers for the bartenders to mix up the tasty libations at the bar, and will also decorate the martini bar with many of our unusual lounge and cocktail lamps, clocks, signs, giant centerpieces, and more.

All products on display and used at the martini bar will be for sale in our booth on the main midway, just south of the fountain and main gate from the Dance pavilion. As a sponsor of the Martini Bar, AlwaysHappyHour.com will donate a portion of all proceeds from product sales at our booth during the festival to PrideFest.

This year’s festival opens from 6pm to midnight on Friday June 9 with comedienne Margaret Cho, and will be open all afternoon and evening on Saturday & Sunday June 10th & 11th.

We look forward to seeing and celebrating with everyone there.!

Red Lite Nite shop late downtown

Red Lite Nite is a new shopping concept of late-night shopping in Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward, kicking off this Friday, May 5. Always Happy Hour is of course one of the participating retailers open for shopping until 9pm or later on the first Friday of every month (okay, we're open EVERY Friday night until 9 or 10 pm already).

In homage to the “Red Light District” proposed for the Third Ward by the City in the 1970s, red lights, red window dressings, balloons and more will adorn participating storefronts within the Third Ward. Currently, the Third Ward is home to over 100 retail merchants specializing in everything from upscale women's fashions and high-end home furnishings to yoga, art, food and wine.

Browsers are encouraged to stroll the sidewalks of the Third Ward, shopping and dining along the way. Stores, bars, and restaurants will be decorated in various red themes to join the late night festivities.

This event showcases the Third Ward as the premier shopping, dining and entertainment destination in Milwaukee. Check out www.historicthirdward.org/redlitenite.php for more information and a list of other shops, bars, and restaurants joining us!

So come on down! Parking is free behind the building after 5, and free in the Third Ward Parking Garage just one block south of us. And yes, you CAN get downtown via 94, via Wells St, or via National Ave.
