What makes DIX Milwaukee special

The bar is split into a lounge and a dance floor. At the back there’s a sand volleyball court that DIX shares with Fat Daddy’s, where the Walker’s Point Pride Block Party takes place every year. The name is the Roman numeral for 509. At the weekend regulars mix with people bar-hopping along 2nd Street.
