A new 6,000-square-foot indoor-outdoor restaurant will debut this summer along the Kinnickinnic River in Milwaukee’s Harbor District. The news was announced today by Benson’s Restaurant Group (formerly called Hospitality Democracy), which runs the local dining establishments Onesto, Smoke Shack, Blue Bat Kitchen and AJ Bombers.
The restaurant will be located beneath the Tribute apartments on the east side of the R1VER campus. The name and menu concept are yet to be announced.

“We’re thrilled to partner with the team at R1VER to bring an outstanding dining experience to the campus and its corporate and residential tenants, while adding a unique dining option to the Harbor District and Bay View areas,” said David Marcus, CEO of Benson’s Restaurant Group, in a press release. “We recently renamed our company, in part, to reflect our interest and plans to grow, including in new ways such as working with quality partners like Tim Michels and his team.”
The project is a joint venture between Benson’s and Becher Development, the developer behind R1VER.
More details on this project to come.
