Riverwest Public House Cooperative

Situated in Milwaukee’s Riverwest Neighborhood, the Riverwest Public House Cooperative is Wisconsin’s only co-op bar. Its mission is three-fold: to provide a welcoming social meeting place; to offer patrons a variety of affordable local, organic drinks; and to raise funds to propagate other cooperatives. The Cooperative has four decision-making bodies, including membership (patrons and neighbors), a Board of Directors, a Workers Collective (paid staff and volunteers), and Standing Committees, which each rely on a Consensus decision-making process.
