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.

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.

Wauwatosa Woman's Club has met inside its own brick clubhouse since 1925, when the building was dedicated over three days of concerts, a costume party, and speeches by local dignitaries. The club itself dates to 1894, and members raised the funds to build the clubhouse and later paid it off outright, ceremonially burning the mortgage at the 1937 May Breakfast. The historic building's second-floor ballroom, originally called the Auditorium, is set beneath a vaulted ceiling and lit by a large chandelier, and has hosted weddings, galas, and holiday parties. Rentals are available in the first-floor meeting space, the second-floor ballroom, or the entire building, each with a minimum three-hour booking and a variety of table and chair setups.
