For Suzie's bachelorette party we went to Hamburger Mary's. Located at 2130 Kinnickinnic Avenue in Milwaukee, Hamburger Mary's is a "bar & grille for open minded people".
The first one opened in 1972 in San Francisco and though that particular one is no longer in operation, there are 12 Hamburger Mary's located across the US. You can stop in for lunch or dinner or on Saturdays or Sundays they offer a brunch or come later in the evening and enjoy cocktails and one or two shows. Cross Dressing or Drag shows are the theme of the evening and the "Mary" in the title is a slang descriptor used for gay men as far back at early
1900s.
Hamburger Mary's is listed as the Bachelorette and Birthday Headquarters.
If you are the birthday person, or bride to be, you get extra attention during the show by the performers.
The food was good, drinks arrived quickly and our waiter was very attentive. I felt it took longer than usual to first get our appetizers, and then the food. Our food arrived just before the show started, an hour after arriving there. Our hamburger was good (I split one with Amy and it was nicely cut in half with fries divided evenly on both our plates, which was a nice touch).
So, the show..hmmm, what can I say, when a picture can say it all:
The shows were loud, with music blaring, people laughing and shouting, performers performing. Harmony Breeze and Shannon DuPree are two names of performers this particular evening.
I can not post any pictures from the later show. It was more risque. There were a few see through outfits, so use your imagination.
These shows are probably not for everyone but we laughed, drank, and watched a lot of body parts shaking. Overall, it was a lot of fun!
