“Love the back hall venue. It's so friggin adorable. There is so much to look at. Have to come back for the actual antique portion in the front of the space now.”
“What an amazing shop! It's clear that so much love and care went into this space. The selection is fantastic and the owners are warm and friendly. The overall vibe is fantastic.”
“Yes, they are only open the last full weekend of the month, but it's no biggie if you follow them on Instagram or check their website before heading over. Great store with new items every single month! Friendly staff, fair prices, and truly a unique vintage shop that cares about the entire shopping experience. This is how vintage is done right. It's a must go!”
“My new favorite consignment shop ... Debbie is nothing short of amazing! She was helpful & personable, and the merchandise feels like the perfect blend of thrift and curated. Will be back again!”
“Really, really unique selection and reasonable prices- especially for such fantastic finds. I got a really cute pair of sunglasses and I had to stop myself from getting a fur coat. Mary is a very sweet and welcoming lady. The space is rich with soulful energy from times' past- there were too many pieces that I wanted to take home, that I had yearned to find for all the decades I've been thrifting. I was short on time so I couldn't stay forever, but I will absolutely be returning! Thank you!”
“Recently discovered this resale shop and I'm so happy i did. We went when they had the red tag bag sale. Meaning that all red tag items you can fit into the bag will only cost $1. We scored some amazing deals and the shoes were no more than $6. What a great store will be returning.”
“Great shoe selection! Was able to find my daughter some back to school shoes and came back to find some bday shoes for her at short notice. VT and the rest of the staff were very helpful! Will definitely be back.”
“Wow this place is amazing. Super nice and attentive. Lots and lots of stuff! You'll probably find what you're looking for here. The majority of the things did not have price tags, which I found to be really inconvenient because I didn't want to have to keep asking how much this and how much that cost. For that reason alone, I would only return if I could locate what I really wanted here. Additionally, there is a service fee for using a credit card. Go check them out. I think you'll enjoy it.”
“Found this gem of a shop while in Milwaukee for Summer Fest 2025. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about the surrounding areas. I highly recommending swinging in for a visit!”
“I recently had the pleasure of attending Alive a Fine's annual Easter event for the 2nd year in a row, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience! The free egg hunt for kids, complete with treats and candy is such a heartwarming touch and it was so fun to see the look on my son's face as he opened the eggs. They also have drinks for kids (and adults) which are very appreciated!
The owner and staff of Alive a Fine exudes kindness, which reflects in the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the store. It's evident that they take great care in curating their selection of cool clothing and housewares, creating a space that appeals to a wide range of tastes.
Overall, the Easter event at Alive a Fine is a wonderful tradition for the community, and we look forward to attending for years to come. It's an opportunity to enjoy the festivities, support local artists like Margaret Muza who does beautiful tintype photography during the event, and discover unique treasures in the store. I highly recommend Alive a Fine to anyone looking for a memorable shopping experience coupled with community engagement.”
“Such a upscale, awesome space filled with delights. If you are looking for something classic, curious or dazzling and money is not an object, check this place out. Very cool circus banners, great costumes and exquisite furniture await.”
“Really cool shop! Lots of vintage and antique treasures to explore, and the shopkeepers were wonderful to talk to. Mainly furniture, jewelry, books, records, and and funky little items. Cool to check out with a dear friend and just explore. Needs more attention!!”
“Highly recommend! Jon (owner) is passionate about his business and a staple to the BV community. Lots of great items (new and gently used)! He’s very knowledgeable and helpful, and just an all around great person to chat with. Stop in, say hi and check out all the cool outdoor gear!”
