🎳 Holler House: Where History Bowls On

Step into Holler House, and you’re stepping back in time to Milwaukee’s historic Lincoln Village neighborhood. Founded in 1908 by “Iron Mike” Skowronski as Skowronski’s, this tavern is home to the oldest sanctioned tenpin bowling alley in the United States. It boasts two original wood lanes, hand-oiled and still relying on manual pinsetters, typically neighborhood kids, offering a truly vintage bowling experience where scores are kept by hand. The bar gained its current name in the 1970s after a German woman reportedly commented on the lively noise emanating from the establishment. Holler House is renowned for its unique character, including a decades-old tradition where women leave signed bras hanging from the fixtures. Celebrities like Jack White and Larry the Cable Guy have visited this iconic, cash-only spot. Esquire even recognized it as one of the Best Bars in America. The tavern, still family-owned through five generations, proudly displays memorabilia dating back to 1912 and serves only bottled beer, with Schlitz in a can being a notable exception.
