Where's your favorite area to go out downtown?

Aura @ 1011 N. Astor St. Milwaukee

Club Aura
1011 North Astor St.
Check it out: http://auramilwaukee.com/

I have to admit, I had my reservations about going to a club that has changed names more times than a 3-time divorcee, but I was still inclined to give it a try. There was a fashion show going on and some genius had the idea of making a huge runway that actually made its way around the rectangular bar. It was hard to grab a drink when models--and I use this term loosely--were bumping into you. All in all the show was boring and only Gisele or Bruno could have made it exciting. The club has a nice atmosphere which includes the aforementioned large bar and a small bar in the back along with a small dance area. Inside, it could pass for something you see in Los Angeles...It definitely is one of the best bars I've seen from a decor standpoint--that's my HGTV analysis.

The problem with Aura is that for a Saturday night, it was highly understaffed. The odds were better for getting a lady's number than getting a drink (unless you are this dapper blog host, in which case this is not a problem). Get better!!!

For the guys: Decent mix of nice looking Milwaukee ladies in their mid 20s, dressed to impress

For the ladies: Guys with cash, "tough guys," regular guys, some older fellas

Drink prices: Moderate

Music: Dance mixed with Hot 100

Upcoming event: May 24th...Start of Summer Party with DJ Wizz Kid. $4 shots all night, 3 Olives drink specials.

Going back?: Not in the near future.
