Genes pop up supperclub was a delightful experience. Homemade food with attention to detail. Lovely experience. It's only missing a light snowfall out the window. Highly recommend.

At BB, the pop-up Gene's Supper Club concept is wonderful! The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We were greeted by Christy, taken care of at our bar seats by Eder, Pearl kept us cleared of our dishes and Ruben was an amazing grill master. It was a classic supper club experience from the old fashioned, to the relish tray to the entrees. If you want a special night out, book a seat at Gene's Supper Club!

Barnacle Bud’s and Gene’s Supper Club (winter pop-up) are worth visiting every time. Come for the food and stay because all the people who work here are top notch. The very best people in a great atmosphere? Take my money.

I went there with a recommendation from a friend. I ordered the special burger they had when I was there. It was really tasty, the portion was big, and the service was fast. The atmosphere was very nice. I’ll definitely try to go back when I have time in Milwaukee.

Wish we had tried them sooner. The food was great, the feel thw vibe, everything we like about coastal trips without having to fly some place. The only issue we had is the host some how miss we us on their list and sat other tables a head of us, and even after bringing it up to them, they still sat several other tables ahead of us. Other then that that wait staff was good thw bartender was great the food was definitely good. Just make sure they dont skip you on the seating list...

The food was just okay but the service and the vibe was great. I think on a warm summer day, it would be a perfect place to go.

Heard great things about this place, so we made a 25 min trip through downtown just to check it out. Online hours listed they were open until 9 PM, but when we arrived at 7 PM on a Saturday, we were told they were closed. Even the parking lot sign still said “open.” Really disappointing and frustrating that the early closure wasn’t updated online or on their socials—especially as we saw several other cars pulling in as we left.

This is a super cool spot right on the water. Very confusing at first due to the location but it’s a hidden gem. Great drinks, amazing food, and a fun outdoor space to enjoy some sunshine.

Have a restaurant along the water with a ton of dock space but dont allow boats to dock for lunch. Great business strategy.
