About This Venue
The Fitz is a sophisticated 1920s Art Deco-themed restaurant and event space housed in the historic Ambassador Hotel on Wisconsin Avenue in Milwaukee's vibrant near-west side.
Housed within the iconic Ambassador Hotel, The Fitz captures the glamour and elegance of the Jazz Age with modern updates, offering a casual yet refined atmosphere perfect for dining and special events. The venue features an eclectic menu and is complemented by Gin Rickey, the hotel's lounge serving pre-prohibition-inspired craft cocktails and curated wines, plus Deco Cafe offering Starbucks coffee and breakfast. The restaurant celebrates its heritage with nostalgic happy hour specials, including the famous "Buy one cocktail at today's price and get your second at 1928's price" deal.
Beyond great food and drinks, The Fitz distinguishes itself with exceptional service amenities including complimentary valet parking and a free shuttle service operating daily from 7:30am to midnight that takes guests directly to downtown Milwaukee theaters, festivals, and sporting events. The space also doubles as an event venue, featuring local artists' work for sale in the cafe, making it a community-centered destination that blends historic charm with contemporary hospitality.
