One of the biggest draws of the East Side is its nonstop activity. Several East Side businesses have recently moved to different locations and some new ones will soon open their doors to the most vital area of Milwaukee.

Coming

Original Pancake House

2625 N. Downer Ave.

The long-vacant space next to Ristorante Bartolotta on Downer Avenue will soon be filled with the aroma of pancakes cooking on the griddle.

The Original Pancake house, which is also located in Brookfield and Madison, offers more than 15 kinds of pancakes, along with a menu of other traditional breakfast items.

Waterford Wine Company

1327 E. Brady St.

From purrs to pours — this wine shop has replaced Metropawlis, the pet boutique that recently moved to the Third Ward.

Owner Ben Christiansen’s goal is to make this a cozy store where people can learn about wine. He anticipates holding tastings and other events in the future.

Wines will be grouped by style. So, if you know you want a sweet, white, fruity wine, you won’t have to wonder around looking for different kinds — they will all be grouped together.

Bulls-Eye

Farwell Music takes on a new name and location in the space next to Comet Cafe that used to be the Constant Reader bookstore.

Owner Luke Lavin hopes to open Bulls-Eye this May.

Going

Farwell Music

2218 N. Farwell Ave.

The Farwell Avenue location of this record store closes later this month after the rent was doubled.

Metropawlis

Metropawlis has moved out of its Brady Street location and will reopen soon in the Third Ward at 317 N. Broadway.

Three Graces

This women’s boutique has also found a new home in the Third Ward, at 207 E. Buffalo St., which will open in April.

Aala Reed, a men’s clothing store, will be expanding into the space Three Graces will vacate.
