TempT
Milwaukee
Summary
Mason Street, next door to Karl Ratzsch's restaurant. Promoted as combining the intimacy of a lounge with the energy of a nightclub, it was well appointed and advertised heavily, frequently taking the back cover of OutBound magazine. Despite its handsome interior, the bar faced challenges including loud music, a small dance area, and difficult downtown parking, and it never drew the business its operators had hoped for. TempT closed in May 2011, reportedly after the property was bought up.
