Bars & Recreation: Revolutionizing Milwaukee's Nightlife
What started as Splash Studio, a painting bar in Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward, has evolved into Bars & Recreation—your ultimate entertainment destination with activity-driven experiences. Our experiences include AXE MKE, Amped, Game Show MKE, Nine Below, NorthSouth Club, The New Fashioned, Splash Studio & Slingshot Bar, each offering a choose-your-own experience for the ultimate night out. 

From creative challenges to competitive thrills, Bars & Recreation venues deliver engaging activities perfect for group outings, date nights, corporate events & more. Whether you're painting the night away, singing your heart out, throwing axes, shuffling a few biscuits, teeing up for a hole-in-one, scoring big with a HyperShot 3000, aiming for a home run in Dartball or curling a stone across a street curling court, we've got you covered.
