Earlier this year, BaccaNera Enoteca launched and began a new chapter in the life of 1732 E. North Avenue. Striving to create a unique and intimate place to enjoy fine wines and other spirits, BaccaNera worked hard to embrace the history of the space. With its distinctive red door, it’s hard to miss as you stroll on North Avenue.
This corner spot has served as a community gathering place for well over a century. Since it was built in 1909, the address has been home to a variety of taverns and bars. The space has always been cozy, but BaccaNera has found new ways to activate windows that had been previously hidden and use new materials to create an atmosphere that surrounds you in relaxation and provides a taste of luxury.
BaccaNera Enoteca offers a wide variety of beverages to engage everyone from the most seasoned wine connoisseur to those simply looking for something tasty to drink. The wine list is curated by a Sommelier from BaccaNera Italy, and further developed by a Sommelier right here in Milwaukee.
The word Enoteca, which loosely translates to “wine library,” says a lot about the intention of this casual upscale bar. With a rotating selection constantly maintaining 150 wines on site, there is certain to be something for everyone
to enjoy.
Featuring an extensive list of wines from around the world, craft cocktails, and local and international beers, their friendly and professional staff is always ready to offer a suggestion to help you find the perfect drink.
