Morgenroth's gave Milwaukee a home for beer and bets
If you wanted a Miller High Life or "The Beer That Made Milwaukee Famous" you were out of luck, but John Morgenroth's downtown emporium offered a unique menu of compensating diversions that made it top of the list in old-timer Ray Keyes' 1985 rhapsody about famous local watering holes in the Milwaukee Journal.
Behind the stained-glass windows on the ground floor at 228 W. Water St. (later 756 N. Plankinton Ave.) was the long, gleaming bar where patrons could avail themselves of a sumptuous free lunch of roast beef and ham. On the third floor was a gym where many of the greatest boxers in history – including Jack Johnson, Stanley Ketchel, Jack Dempsey and Benny Leonard – trained when they were in town.
Between them on the second floor was what really made Morgenroth's what the newspapers referred to as "Milwaukee's sporting headquarters": A roulette wheel, dice and card games, news tickers reporting results from horse tracks and ballparks around the country and the opportunity to lay down a bet on the next big fight, the next election for president and even whether the sun would shine tomorrow.
