Dandy is a literal ma & pa business (owned by Jess & Ryan). It’s a vintage shop in the front and an event venue in the back!

Stuff for sale: It’s all pre-1980s (with the exception of some clothes), typically found within a 20-mile radius of Milwaukee. Think furniture, decor, lighting, art, clothing, textiles and oddities. Yes, Mid-Century, but also things before and after!

Space for rent: If you visit the store, you’ll probably spot an unassuming path to the venue (if we’re not already teasing the handful of things for sale back there).

An accidental speakeasy, that’s just how the former heating company operated in this 100-year-old property. The front bar was an auto lift, the wood walls were demoed from other parts of the building.

We kept everything we could and added the rest — first, for our wedding. Then, to gradually establish Dandy as a two-part business.
