X-Ray Arcade is hands down the best venue on this side of the Mississippi. How many spots can truly say they’re for the musicians, by the musicians? You can feel it here in the way people are treated, how well the space is cared for, and all the details that make both musicians and show-goers feel at home.

It’s the perfect size to experience music up close: big enough to bring the energy, small enough to still feel personal. X-Ray Arcade is a community staple.

Love X-Ray for shows! Great sound, atmosphere and staff! Also love the free water available! If I could make a small suggestion though. When there are photographers at shows taking pictures unless they are exclusively with the band it would be nice if they only took photos for the first two or three songs and should be limited on how much they use flash, as I felt that myself and other concert goers around me were not happy with getting blinded during the show I was at. Other then that, love X-Ray!!

Loooved this venue. You walk in to the L-shaped bar, a few arcade games on the left, the stage in the back on the right. A set of gendered bathrooms right by the stage and patio, with a pair of gender neutral bathrooms by the main doors. Street parking was easy enough even after getting out of work late and missing the first opener.

Small enough and ticketed perfectly. Despite being a sold out show, I feel like I had a great view from the back row. Staff were friendly, kind, and prompt. Can’t wait to come back.

I love how many different things come here. There's going to be a show for everyone at some point. Folk punk,metal, electronic, you name it. On top of that, they do a great job of bringing in podcasts doing trivia nights and movie screenings too.

They also have a great selection of beers, the food's pretty tasty, and it's all reasonably priced.

I got engaged here so I'm a little biased, it's a good venue though. Has a nice little backyard type area to hang out in. The stage is a good size, sound is good, food is good. Bathrooms are on the clean side for a bar/venue. And they don't put up with bullshit which is always appreciated.

Also there's arcade games.

This was the joint on our final tour where the big blowup took place. This club attracts a group of rowdy little punks who aren't patronizing the club, but hanging around outside the place harassing unsuspecting out of town bands. This constitutes a gang where we come from. The club needs to have security clean up the street in front of the venue. The mostly verbal attacks that took place here were infantile, but still caused a ruckus that ended up going viral on the internet because children have busy thumbs late at night. This wasn't an isolated incident either, as I was quickly contacted by several other bands that were ambushed by this same crowd.
I wouldn't recommend anyone from punk hardcore or metal music groups to book themselves here until the management does something to control their rabble rousing faux child gang problem.
So I have to give this place a 'sucks bigtime' rating due to willful ignorance on the part of the management & owners.

I was pleasantly surprised attending the show at this awesome little bar tucked into a blue collar neighborhood outside of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. For being a small venue it had a decent-sized stage (not huge though), and I thought it was a great place to see a show. Just be careful if you're parking your car near the venue on the street and you have Illinois plates. 😁
