What we're about

Hospitality, delivered with intention

Cream City Concepts runs three Milwaukee bars on Old World Third Street and Layton Avenue, plus catering.

What we run

Behind the bars are a catering kitchen, five short‑term rentals and five buses, all from one team: Oak Barrel, Who's on Third and Who's on Layton and the people who run them.
