High Stakes: Paul Bartolotta’s Bold Bet on Downtown Milwaukee

On a special edition of Munching Around Milwaukee, host Charlie tours High Stakes by Bartolotta and the Peacock Lounge with Bartolotta Restaurant Group owner and co-founder, two-time James Beard Award winner, Chef Paul Bartolotta. They explore the restaurant’s art-deco design, unique dining rooms, exclusive Wagyu program, and the playful Milwaukee Players Room that honors Milwaukee community leaders.

Paul reflects on his family legacy, the growth of the Bartolotta Restaurant Group, their role in elevating Milwaukee’s food scene, and how High Stakes represents his personal stake in revitalizing downtown.
