History repeats itself in the case of Live, the new club on East North Avenue. Throughout the Nineties, this location was home to the legendary Globe East, a music venue whose stage played host to almost every Milwaukee band and a list of headliners who would later go on to great success. In 2004, after The Globe closed, it was remodeled and reopened as the Lava Bar and Grill. When Lava didn't work out as a restaurant, much of the look of Lava was changed, and the sign out front was changed to a statement of purpose. With the new name Live (run by the same owners), the club seeks to bring live music back to the erstwhile Globe. Meanwhile, the club retains many of the things that made Lava cool, from the second floor patio to the clean design which was a welcome relief from Globe's dark confines.

Best Piercing Shop in NC
By miltownnights on 02/15/2008
Progress is one of the best body piercing shops in North Carolina hands down. A knowledgeable staff, an immaculate shop and great customer service makes for an amazing experience every time I go. When I first walked through the door my lobes were at 10 gauge and I had a minor infection. Seth, the owner, instantly knew what was going on and told me exactly what to do to get it cleared up. He had no problem answering all my questions and informing me about proper aftercare and stretching techniques. The service I received was above and beyond anything I expected, he even emailed me a week later asking me to come back in so he could check my progress. He didn't have to do any of this since he didn't perform the piercing but he was looking out for my best interest the whole time. Well a year later my ears are at 3/4” and are doing awesome. I recently had my second branding done and I’m happy to say it turned out amazing. I will be a loyal customer of Progress for the rest of my life. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants the best body piercing possible. Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Worst bar in milwakee
By britt5912 on 01/21/2008
Live is possibly the worst establishment in this city. Besides the fact that you have to wait around for a bartender to stop flirting with the other employees to get you a drink they also don't say please or thank you when a tip is thrown right in their faces. On top of everything else we had to watch a guy stumble around and throw up in a garbage can right next to our table. When we politely suggested that his "friends" should take him home, all of them refused and said that he was fine and that we were rude to suggest drunk driving...what? have you not heard of cabs? then we found out that he worked there and through some conspiracy we were all yelled at by his mumbling idiot friends. I had reached my breaking point when this dude is telling us that if we were guys he would punch us all in the jaws...wow great customer service. I really love it when 24 year old guys cant even handle their alcohol and then tell us "inexperienced" drinkers that we should learn more about life. Someone should just cash their checks and burn that bar down....
