Established in March of 1976, Saz’s State House is where it all began for Saz’s Hospitality Group. Over the past four decades, Steve Sazama’s original vision for a first-rate restaurant and sports bar has grown into a destination restaurant with a loyal following. As evidenced by a collection of awards resulting from community nominations, Saz’s State House continues to proudly serve the community both in and outside of the expanded restaurant walls. Featuring favorites like its signature BBQ Baby Back Ribs and BBQ Pork Sandwich, the State House also boasts a robust event schedule, seasonal specials, private event space, and complimentary shuttles to and from many Milwaukee sporting events. The State Room provides a special blend of casual elegance, privacy and amenities, making it an ideal setting for a variety of gatherings. Rich wood and architectural accents, etched glass windows, a private entrance and coat room, handicap accessibility and a custom-designed wooden bar reminiscent of the great pubs of Europe combine forces to foster ambiance, a feeling of exclusivity, and neighborly comfort with the affordability of a private space within an operational restaurant. Add to this an easily-accessible, central location and no food or beverage minimums Monday through Thursday and you have an ideal location for frequently recurring meetings or corporate gatherings! In 2002, the integrity of this wonderful historic building was carefully considered, preserved, and also enhanced with the 900 square foot addition that became The State Room. Construction crews even took painstaking measures to match the exterior brick to the existing structure, a fact largely representative of the approach Saz’s Hospitality Group takes to ensuring complete client satisfaction with no detail overlooked. Whether you are planning an office meeting for 20, an evening class for an undetermined group size, or a rehearsal dinner for 45, The State Room fits the bill. With private bar service, personalized menu planning, state-of-the-art audiovisual capabilities, a dedicated event staff, and award-winning cuisine, the only question is why you didn’t think of this earlier.
