One of my favorite stores, not the same old ordinary junk seen in most antique stores. Plenty of rare and unique items everywhere I look. I FILLED my truck last time I was there! His short hours seem to keep the store from being "picked through". Well worth time to stop in if you happen to be near when he's open. Nice guy too, a real pleasure to chat with and more than giving of his time.

This is such an interesting store. I had a great experience looking through the many vintage finds. The collection of well-crafted items was amazing. I love that instead of ending up in a landfill, the items are offered for sale so that they may see new life. The large light fixtures were stunning. If you need something to make a space special/unique this store may have it. I am so surprised at the negative comments about the owner. He was friendly, engaging and offered details to the history the items. The prices may be a little high, but it’s not a thrift store and they have to remove and transport some of the items. You can always try to barter. A very unique store.

Right along the river, this antique store has a wide variety of larger items and is curated nicely. Incredible old signage, with many neon signs restored. Interesting and unique furniture and design pieces, with the historical significance of those items occasionally typed out and displayed alongside the item for customers to read. Beautiful old building and Randy was a delight to speak with, knowledgeable about the area and the history of several items. Also, lofts are for rent above the building and a ton of effort has gone in to restoring this building! We were looking for smaller picture frames and did not find any, but absolutely worth a stop!

One of the best collection I’ve seen in Milwaukee. Randy has so many unique pieces that can add that final touch one has been searching for. My wife and I will definitely be back!

Would not recommend to anyone. Friends came from out of town, and we asked to use the bathroom before starting to browse. We were told by the owner “this isn’t a restaurant.” We explained that we came to the store with the intention of being customers but were then talked down to about how our first question should not have been about the bathrooms. Left without spending any money. Don’t come here if you are looking for an enjoyable shopping experience. We ended up spending our money at a different walker’s point antique store and had a great time.

Owner is a miserable old man who seems to have nothing better to do than verbally berate and harass customers. His shop is only open two days a week and I'm certain it's because that's the absolute maximum people can stand him. His wares are laughably overpriced. If you are having any semblance of a good day and want to continue doing so, avoid this place.

Terrible experience. Traveled to get here upon a friends recommendation. Asked if they had restrooms before we began looking. Got a lecture that they were for customers only. We tried to explain we were customers and we continued to get a lecture about how they weren’t a restaurant and we could go elsewhere to just come in and use the restroom. Store was empty so I’m not sure why the owner was throwing out three paying customers but he then began yelling at us. All I wanted was to pee before I shopped! If he said he didn’t have restrooms without the judgement and lecture we would have stopped elsewhere! This is no way to run a business and I’d discourage anyone from going there to avoid verbal abuse. There’s better antique locations in the area without the verbal assault.

This place has some really cool things but I walked 30 minutes to get there and got kicked out after about 5 minutes. Apparently talking on the phone is not allowed. I was speaking to my mother who lives far away and used to love thrifting with me when I lived near by. I wasn't being loud. The guy told me "this isn't a phonebooth, so get off the phone or leave." So rude. Will not be coming back.

This place has some really cool stuff if you want to just go and look. Some prices are pretty expensive. For example, a similar picture of Milwaukee would be around $30 less at a different antique store. I noticed pretty quickly there was a lot of dust on the products, so I took it as an indication things don't move too often.

This place has some amazing things, a great selection of vintage advertising. And the most amazing turtle urn movie props that I could only dream of owning one day I’m a huge turtle lady apart from also being a vintage soda fanatic. The only thing that is a downer about this place is a lot of things are high high end retail regardless of condition. I think a nice idea would be to put out things that’ll keep the ball rolling. Having signs available that’ll cap out at $375 that’s good for the customer and owner because it’ll keep the inventory fresh.
